My parent's gutters look like this... The gutter guy showed up with a roll of flat aluminum sheet and a die set that forms the gutters so you can get really long, one-piece, gutters. No seams to leak.

My parents live in the woods. They went through a couple iterations of those perforated attachments, none them work very well and all just made it harder to clean them out. Dad finally gave in and had all the gutters replaced with the formed leaf guard type and they work. That said, the installer flaked out on them and they've had a terrible time getting the company to honor the warranty. They ended up having a local independent guy come redo the whole back of the house because the downspouts were too small and too far apart.

Mama bear vs mama bear. The winner was the one with the most motivation.

Friend at work headed to Hawaii yesterday. They had to jump through some hoops to find a test site that was approved both by Hawaii and the airline, get tested and get the results approved the day before they left. Definitely some stress there, I'm sure your situation was much worse. Glad you found a solution.

Liquid on the surface impedes the smoke from penetrating the meat. Your tenderloin looks tasty. I smoked a few things today as well.

You don't say how old they are, but make sure they're all designed for use with modern smokeless powder. You might get few cartridges for each, pull the bullets, dump the powder, and see if they ignite the primer. My Dad has his Granddad's 12ga, which chambers modern 2-3/4" shells but is intended for old black powder shells. It's got Damascus barrels and a modern shell could kaboom it.

As I said earlier here, if your neighbors have weeds, you're gonna have weeds. The only solution is the services that come spray 4-6 times a year. To me, all the pollinating insects (mostly honey bees) are way more important than my grass looking like an Augusta National fairway.

Dog urine has lots of nitrates. It's essentially the same as mixing fertilizer too strong and burning the grass.

Norge gas and electric ranges used to be made in Cleveland.

Welcome!

Welcome!

It's where the Jeep people go to break stuff. LBL is great, make a camping weekend out of it.

Yes, the incompetent get promoted to where they can do less harm. The valuable have to remain worker bees, because someone has to actually do the work. My current frustration is immediate management who've never worked anywhere else and either can't seem to grasp that they don't have to contine doing the same stupid things, or don't have the stones to do it differently. Resource allocation is poor at best and while they're ok at project management, they're terrible people managers.

Possums, raccoons, foxes, hawks, owls, ... lots of critters are happy for an easy meal. Just remove the shot, a few lead pellets will kill them.

Welcome. Beautiful country in the far east.

Having never had the option to work remotely, I'd take the money. $30k is more than the total change in my paycheck in the last 15 years.

Semi. Size and capacity.

Good. All they'll do is create panic and make the problem worse.

Adding a qt of Dextron III for 30 minutes or so helps too.

... of each. Two of many, three of some...

Congrats to you and him! BSME & MSME class of '99 from TTU here.

Good thinking, though some fumes on hot exhaust would've made that get even more exciting.

Does anyone personally know someone who's experienced an oil related engine failure where the engine actually had oil in it at the time?

To this comic I would say no, the best way to tighten an oil filter is to not remove it. That's what most of the former jiffy lube employees I know have told me....

Who hurts more people, drunk shooters or drunk drivers?
