    Building a new house

    I have a home with a centralized vacuum system built in. I have only used it once, maybe twice. Dragging along 20 ft of hose is less fun than 20 ft of electrical cord. Besides, that's why I have a Lynette.

    length of battery life fishing

    You don't need a triple. I run a dual bank to charge the trolling batteries and a single bank to top off the starting battery. All you have to do is run an extension cord under your floor up into the storage compartment where your dual bank is stored, then use a Voila, one cord to plug in...

    Home elliptical machine

    Only thing I will suggest is getting one that is quiet. It really is unbelievable at how much a slight "swish, swish" sound from an unbalanced, or rubbing elliptical will get on your damn nerves. I guess if you are the type to wear headphones while on it you could probably get away with a...

    that first colocoscopy

    Both, and quantity. Only time I drink that damn much liquid is when I am on a bender.

    that first colocoscopy

    Guy, They try to not knock you all the way out so you can experience the pleasure of being violated. One sure fix to the being awake problem is to simply "honk" a nurse, they will give you plenty of the knock out juice then. :cool: And no, I am not :;:, nor am I using any :::. Just reach...

    Vacation Time

    After 15 yrs with the same employer, I get 208 hrs of vacation a year, plus another ~100 hrs of various time off for when I work over my 40/week. Bottom line, it's still not enough! I could use a 12 hour work week.

    Building a new house

    Garage door openers that are wall mounted are sure nice when you are standing in the back of your pickup. My last house had I-Drive garage door openers, they are a little bit more than standard chain/belt drives, but about the same as the high end chain and belt drives. One thing about them is...

    Need a new FoodSaver recommendation

    Me being a cheap-ass as well, went back to the FoodSaver well, so to speak. They have a 20% off and free shipping option due to Memorial Day that is still in effect today. I ordered one out of their "GameSaver" line. http://www.foodsaver.com/gamesaver-landing/gamesaver-landing.html - - -...

    Building a new house

    Personally, I'd probably slap any builder who doesn't include ceiling fan/lights in the original electrical plans. And I'd probably fire the electrical contractor who goes nuts on the switched outlets. Nothing worse than plugging something in and having to then walk over to a set of light...

    Need a new FoodSaver recommendation

    Well, the old FoodSaver 840 finally bit the dust (broken cutter assembly and no parts available). So I need to get a new one. Any recommendations from the peanut gallery on all the new models? Standup vs lay flat on counter, etc, etc. Mine generally only gets used to package 2-4 deer, a...

    Well my boat has built in AC now....

    Yeah, this sucks. Let your phone be your friend if the insurance company balks at this. I have heard the Lund version of a walk-through windshield is a little over $2k. Often times it's because the middle glass wasn't latched and ended up shattering when a gust of wind whips it open, or...

    Tobacco gardens incident am I wrong?

    We'd all like our own personal ramps. Something to that effect is how I would have put it. I was out at a smaller lake today and had a fella coming off the water load his rig, then sit on the ramp packing everything up. I asked him if he could pull off the ramp so I could load my boat and he...

    2014 f200xb questions

    Why are you thinking you need a 4 blade vs. the standard 3? A fourth blade adds drag and will be tougher to turn than a 3 blade of the same design. I think the 4 blade options are intended for holeshot and when efficiency is an actual issue, like much greater than 10% slip.

    Boat Performance Questions

    I don't have an answer for you, but those are indeed some god-awful numbers, IMHO. SDMF may be onto something with the hook comment, but I didn't think Alumacrafts were known for that problem, mostly Crestliners and other less expensive aluminum manufacturers. This may sound stooped, but have...

    Firearm insurance

    I am guessing that like most homeowner policies I have had, the default limit for firearms is something around $1,500 and that makes it necessary for those who have an active outdoor lifestyle to carry extra insurance. I carry a "rider" on my insurance to cover the extra things like toys...

    Anyone ever had this happen.

    "putting it in the wrong hole" I wonder if that has ever been said when there's not a boat in the conversation?
