I'm guessing the switch on the fan itself is wired incorrectly.

Nice looking grips. I suspect they would be great for pocket carry.

The exact same instrument that was used on us, except it was red. My mother had very little hand and arm strength and couldn't put sufficient umph behind the paddle. I made the mistake of laughing while getting paddled by her. Thereafter the administration of punishment waited until dad got...

Well I have an outdated cell phone and I meet all the other criteria, except my life ain't so simple.

Yeah, I95 isn't the place to be a pedestrian. I think the traffic flow in that area is 80+. Sad, unfortunate situation. Is it too disrespectful to ask if the turtle made it?

I don't really see any erosion. It looks to have been chamfered a bit but that's a good thing. It looks a little dinged up underneath which could have come from rough handling during cleaning or even from the factory.

Did they return the original barrel?

OK, I'm in:

I'm not one that believes a J frame is a good idea for a new shooter. And I'm a guy that loves revolvers. If you want to start a new shooter with a revolver it should be a K or L frame and have a 4" barrel, but then it's not a great concealed carry gun in many if not most circumstances. So have...

I think I have all of those except the Travelers. I didn't know they were all the same company.

Well you probably manage your windows better I do. You probably don't have 100+ browser tabs open across 3 browser windows. That and other assorted Apps., including office suites and the occasional light weight graphics program. I miss the better graphics programs like Photoshop or even Paint...

I bought a case of the Buffalo Trace from one of the mail order places before it became well known. I saved one bottle. It was drinkable but the 1792 is much better. I think the Buffalo Trace is badly overrated unless they've really upped their game.

I'm not a fan of the heavily oaked bourbons. I like the ones that are a little sweet and smokey. Apparently I don't have very sophisticated tastebuds as my favorites aren't generally real expensive. I do like the 1792, which is pretty reasonable, but then I like Jim Beam Black too. Makers Mark...

My Lenovo T490 is at least 5 years old. It came with Windows 8, a i7-8665U at 1.90GHz, 16GB ram and a 500GB SATA drive. Fortunately the motherboard was fairly upgradable so I upgraded to 32GB of RAM and a 480GB solid state drive. I've upgraded to the latest stable version of Windows 11, 24H2...

My father brought back just 2 souvenirs from his time in the ETO in WWII, well other than the shrapnel he took with him to his final rest at Arlington. He had a German Nazi belt buckle and a Nazi helmet. The last I saw the belt buckle it was in a small junk box in the garage, rusty and of no...
