    Gun Talk

    In this case, gun safe talk. I'm looking for a small handgun safe with quick easy access, not for high anti theft security, but more for safety in the home. Been looking at the Gun vaults that are so popular in the gun shops, but also stack on brand at cabelas, that was similar in style but...

    Football Fans ?

    Couple of good games today, I don't really have a favorite team but still like watching a good game. My BIL and nephew are crazy Giants fans, in fact my nephew named his child Eli, after giants QB. So I will be cheering for them to support my family members :) I do not like the the Patriots...

    Chains on non drive tires???

    Any thought on light chains or cables on the non drive front tires of my garden tractor? I have good traction due to weights and chains on the rear, but the front end gets pushed around when plowing. I even thought of putting suitcase weights on the front to help, haven't tried it in snow yet...

    AAA Auto club, Is it Worth it?

    Was thinking of joining triple A mostly for the discounts from Retailers or lodging etc. Napa gives 10% off for AAA members, I probably spend enough there to justify it. It's 80 bucks now! I already have road side assistance through my auto insurance company which covers every car, AAA only...

    What Is It?

    A little interesting item that is pretty obvious what it does, but there is something unique about it. At least to me it is, since I've never seen one before. JB

    Dual wheel truck, spare tire/ flat tire questions

    I've got a dual rear wheel utility body, Ram 3500. I don't carry a spare, never got one with the truck. I want to at least carry a jack and lug nut wrench. I figure if I get a rear flat, I can limp on the one good tire on that side, to a shop to get it repaired or replaced. I'm thinking if I...

    Winter storm Alfred, 10/29/11

    Should of had a woman's name cause this one is gonna go down in the record books as a real b*tch. Not for it's snowfall accumulation, though it breaks all records for October snow, in fact in CT they said all the Octobers snows going back over 100 years combined don't equal this one storm. But...

    Gas Fireplace Logs

    I'm thinking of getting one for my formal living room. More for effect than heating but it will be nice to feel it nice and warm in there when we want to hang out there. This room doesn't get used much (no TV) except in the colder months when we can't sit in our sun-room/porch. There is a...

    Anyone Thread big Pipe ?

    Just trying to get an idea if I'll have any luck selling a pipe threader I have had sitting around for years now. Put it on Craigslist today, but so far no calls. It's a Rigid model 141, for threading 2.5 to 4 inch pipe with the same set of dies. I guess the threads are the same between...

    Boom Lift Hydraulics

    Just something different to look at, these are JLG boom lifts, showing some of the components under the hoods. We use these machines 2-3 times year to maintain old churches, schools and other institutional type buildings. The bigger one is an 86 footer and the smaller is a 66 foot, incredible...

    Tour De France, Bike Race

    Anyone else interested? I by accident turned it on about five years ago and have been enjoying it every year since. I've never seriously rode road bikes, I do have a mountain bike and ride often, but I really like the Tour. The way it's filmed and produced is part of the attraction even if...
