    Viet Nam Whorehouse

    No. I was only there for 8 months but I know if there were whorehouses on base I would have known. There were a lot of RMK employees that had been there much longer than me! But let me say this ... virtually EVERY bar in Vietnam was a whore house. The girls would serve you your drink and...

    No more messing with the clock in North Dakota

    It doesn't matter what time the clock says it is - the hours of daylight during the day DO NOT change.

    Fin day in Rolla St Urho's

    Don't think it will take much to chase the hopper out the day before St. Paddy's day. Maybe just slam the barroom door a few times!!! Don't think there could ever be a "Fin Day" in New York or Ca. Can you imagine advertising a "white, northern Scandinavian European Day" in those states???

    So you think that "health wise" the people that live in the more southern parts of the planet "more sunshine" are healthier than people in Alaska, northern Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland and northern Russia. I'd sure like to see the study that supports that view!!!

    Water Heaters: Tankless vs Traditional

    I don't believe the hot water lines lose "A LOT OF HEAT." See that I said "I BELIEVE." The re-circ pumps are fractional hp pumps - something like 1/5 hp. I run mine 24/7 when we are in our CA house. I'm retired and do not shower in the mornings when I get up - I shower when I want to be...

    No more messing with the clock in North Dakota

    I was in SW Wyoming in '73/'74 and grade school kids were being scared by moose at school bus stops. Wyoming's answer: move school classroom schedules back 1 hour so that the school opening coincided with the actual sun time. By the way Arizona and Hawaii do NOT HAVE DAYLIGHT SAVIN TIME and...

    Walleye Burgers

    What grocery store chain stocks wild, caught King salmon in ND? I shop in Minot and have never seen it. I have never seen it in San Jose, CA. in a grocery store. There used to be a fish market that had it during commercial salmon season but it closed and is gone.

    Walleye Burgers

    If you are denigrating salmon it's because you have never tasted wild, caught Chinook (King) salmon. It is not available in restaurants or stores around ND. What is sold there is farm raised Atlantic Coho (Silver) salmon that does not compare to wild caught King salmon. I know because I...

    M-14

    When I was in basic at Ft. Lewis in Sep/Oct '68 we used BB guns to hit pennies thrown in the air. Guess it was to get our quick responce time up.

    Astronomy Question

    Prolly gravity from the sun keeps the planets in a rotational pattern where they are MILLIONS of miles apart. If you want to know how many millions of miles - look it up!

    Astronomy Question

    His sword. I was a big astronomy geek growing up. I bought a 6" reflective telescope. I could see lots in the night sky but nothing thru the neighbor girls windows ... damnit!!!

    M-14

    db - I was in basic at Ft. Lewis in Sep/Oct '68 and we trained with the M-14. Loved shooting until everyone got a bruised cheek from recoil. Actually during rifle range the Drs. medicalled me out. I should not have been given a pass on my induction physical, so I never ended up serving...

    Lower Unit Freezing

    Your outboard lower unit will drain all the water needed in the cooling system for freezeup every time just by being vertical. At the end of the season you should always pull the upper and lower plug on your lower unit to see if any water comes out. It is heavier than oil and will settle to...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Here's a tip on starting tomato plants inside that I saw on a gardening show many years ago. The plants will get tall and leggy inside because they are not exposed to the wind/weather. When you transplant them outside dig a trench and plant the tomato in the trench. Pull off all the leaves...

    Ribs In Beer

    You can (and should) pull off the "inner skin" when you cook baby back ribs to get smoke and BBQ sauce to the meat better. I just use a kitchen butter knife to get under the skin at one end (so it doesn't cut thru the skin) and then grab the skin with a paper towel in my hand (so it doesn't...

    Brain Teaser

    Cup 3 is the first and ONLY cup that will fill. Water from cup 1 will flow into cup 3 before flowing into cup 2 because the outlet pipe to 3 is lower than 2. No water will flow into either 4 or 5 because the outlet from cup 3 to cup 4 is blocked and pipe from 3 to 5 is blocked where the pipe...
