Only parts of it as it is a rehash of his positions and sounds very much like a campaign speech. But I rarely listed to any POTUS SOTU speech, not just because this is Pres Obama.

I have an '04 F150 with the 5.4L and the engine oil filter is in less than optimum spot (there are kits to move the filter, but I think they only work up thru the 04 models.) Guys with the 4x4 have an even tougher job. A quick way I finally found it to remove the top air intake (one bolt), push it out of the way, and you can reach the filter to break it loose from the top side. Once I figured that out, piece of cake (good things no penalties for swear words!). Don't know if you have this truck but if so you know what I mean on the oil filter. Good luck! Cheers, Barry

I hope it went well. I have been laid off since September and was flown to Orlando for an inperson (job would be worked from here in TN). Now in the waiting phase, so many Americans now. Again good luck to you!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours also.

I have been out of pocket lately and have missed reading the great posts in the different areas. So, had time this evening and wanted to drop in and say (yep, well in advance) a HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all. Of course, one of the many things I have to be thankful for is living in TN and having my HCP

My condolences to you and yours for your loss.

Really nice - congrats and please keep us up to date on how you like it, any issues, etc. Again, congrats and enjoy it.

+ a bunch on speed and lugs.

Nicely done so kudos to your Nephew; always great to see a young person using their noodle!

I use insecticidal soap and/or Neem oil. Both are very effective and not harmful to dogs, kids, etc. But I try to be careful to spray when flowers are closed, as I don't want to kill any bees - bumble or honey. Each year I tell myself I will spread something to get 'em in the ground then don't. Another way, depending on the size of your garden, is to go out early in the day awhen the bugs are sluggish (no puns intended) and pluck the little b-----ds off by hand and drop "em in a bucket of soapy water (made with any dish washing liquid or even Simple Green - and diluted Simple Green makes a good insecticial spray, also, if you want something not too costly and "do it yourself").

Very nice!

Agree with OP on checking out USAA if you are eligible - we switched everything (home, auto, umbrella) to them last year and overall saved aroudn 350 bucks a year for much better coverage (especially homeowners).

See, another reason why dogs are a man's best friend! They really know how to get those cool gifts for us. Cheers!

Congrats on the G19 and that just sucks on the range! But you have it now anyway...Enjoy!

Thanks! I have used the knives a lot in the last couple of days and they are working well. And i hear you - i am now mentioning to the "pack" how Dad could use a new pistol, LOL (Christmas is not that far away).
