If a new law gets by the courts we will not have to worry much about this. Starting a few years the state does not want to allow gas or oil heat/ hot water or dryers to be used in new construction. They in their infinite knowledge want to only have total electric house/apartments. :mad: If I...

A popular variation up here is a sign stating YOU ARE NOW IN RANGE! A friend has one and he notes the amount of A type turn arounds showing up in his rather sandy driveway at that point! :cool:

Been caught like that a few times. My solution as I normally have a big engine vehicle is to floor it, whip to the right pass them and get in the traffic lane. Little hint, go faster on the ramp than the traffic is on the main road and its much easier to get into the line. Many times I see...

I have thought for many years the more/fancier toys the weather people get the worse the forecasts will be. Another of my views is that the weather reporters are under some constraints from management to give the best possible forecast that they can. (Just short of downright lying!) If they...

I have talked with a few of those lane kings and most of them give you a variation of the speed limit is 65. I'm doing that speed and there is no reason to go faster! FWIW most of those people in a snow storm will go much slower than necessary and many will have on their 4 way lights. Nothing...

Maybe not for the drunk, but the people watching might have different ideas about that. :D Full discloser, when younger drinking age was 18, me as a big older looking person had no problem getting served at 16. By the time I was 20 was well on my way to being a serious drunk. Tapered off...

Over the course of time (Muscle car era of the late 60) -70s) I modified a bunch of wrenches for some of those impossible to reach places. Did not like to waste a good quality tool so I hit the Globmaster cheap tools for my donor wrench. For the amount of times a special-duty wrench was needed...

A few years ago my wife got one of those. It was a handgun coming back from a manufacture after repair. It clearly stated "Adult Signature Required''! She was quite POed and called the company and got this BS reason, because of Covid it limited exposure . The company said this was...

No clue to what is going on with the delivery services, but funny mushrooms might be ingested by drivers. My wife ordered some items through Amazon. She got conformation that for some reason she would get 3 deliveries. That proved out to be correct. I was riding my ATV to go down to the...

This rapid delivery of spam is getting much more popular (not with the receivers) with the senders and as I believe the IPs themselves) I tend to get 2-3 of the same Email with sending times of only a couple minuets apart or every hour or so. I fervently believe this is encourage/helped by my...

Doctors used to prescribe a Tylenol with codeine, If I remember correctly it was called a Tylenol 3! When I got attacked by Shingles those little pills were the only way I could get to sleep! (y)

I can remember as a kid some items came from Japan and was marked "Made in occupied Japan!''

A big happy birthday to you!

My kids were taught the correct way and did it. Unfornituely my sons adopted daughter was not. O well fecal matter happens! A few years ago my sons best friend got married and being I consider him as my 3rd son, him/wife got a decent check from me. The day after they came back from their...

It may not freeze but it does get changes in humidity and temperature fluctuations. I have 2 garages one under the house the other about 80' from the house. For safety considerations I keep all my dangerous items there! Have you ever seen a fuel tank suck in and then a day or so later revert...
