    Today, France is a little less French. A good thing!

    The French, like it or not, (and even though both sides of my family are of French heritage, I do not like them, from Petain to De Gaulle and beyond) are influencial on the world stage. They have finally put a small but positive touch on issues in Iraq. Seems with their new leader they are...

    All done in!

    After a week and a half of putting up cultured stone on the front of the house we have moved right in to replacing the carpet. I don't know how mortal man does this kind of thing while working a normal work week. I am exhausted and we have two more days of moving things around to accomodate...

    I'm a great fan of both. Just thought this would be a bit of fun, harkening back to a simpler time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYctbbWWzzo&mode=related&search=

    Erased Pictures! Heeeeeeeeeelp!

    I don't hold out much practical hope and I know this kind of thing has come up before. I somehow mangaged to obliviate all of my Ketchican fishing trip pictures. As I really don't know what I specifically did, I don't know whether I erased them or reformated the chip. a) Is their anyway to...

    Hillary: From the horse's own mouth!

    A very interesting synopsis of a string of letters that Hillary had written in her college years. A synopsis that clearly shows the emergence of the Hillary that we know today. The Hillary that some misguidedly love and the the Hillary, that hopefully many, fear and distrust...

    Boomyal's back! The good and the bad.

    Hi all, just returned from Ketchikan last nite. It's good to be home and see some sunshine. The weather was not as bad as we had prepared for but was rainy and drizzly for the whole week. Temps stayed in the upper 50's and low 60's so it was not uncomfortable sitting out in the 20 foot boats...

    Any suggestions as to local store where I might look for these today? Seems they might be seasonal and I have tried the Sportsmans Warehouse, Fishermans Supply, GI Joes and Big 5. No young acned sales people even knew what I was talking about. I'm leaving Sunday Morning for Ketchikan AK...

    Plywood glue?

    I have two half sheets of 3/4" plywood. I want to replace one of the rectangular, vinyl covered seat bases on my Beachcraft. My plan is to elevate the seat by 1 1/2". There are no markings on this plywood. Anyone know of any clues that would tell me whether the plywood is exterior grade...

    Marine vinyl.

    Just for your information. I stopped by a local upholstery shop to inquire about some vinyl to recover the seat bases in my BeachCraft. They wanted 22.95 + 8.1% Stx, per yard for the vinyl. I just found the same brand, on the internet, for $10.35 per yard plus shipping. Guess I know where...

    Merc 350 cid center risor mani question.

    Are center risor manifolds, for the Chev 350, prone to cracking exteriorly between the two center exhaust port flanges? I have a friend who has both mani's cracked in the same place. They are just dripping water but they are definitely cracked. The mani's are original raw water cooled units...

    Room Air Conditioner?

    How cold should an approximate 10,000 btu air conditioner run at the vent? I have this sitting outside, on saw horses, with ambient air temp at about 82deg, with a thermometer in the exhaust vent. It feels pretty cold but is just registering 55 degrees.

    What say you now John Edwards?

    Is the war on terrror still just a bumper sticker slogan? It appears that the several attempts with car bombs in England and Scotland were the work of Islamic Terrorists. I think I'll pass on voting for him for my Commander and Chief.;)

    32 bit XP vs 64 bit XP???

    Has anyone ever heard of such, and if it exists, what would you call them? I was told by someone who appears to be somewhat Computer savvy, that all you had to do was specify which one you wanted when you order a new computer. I guess that dual core processors would like the 64 bit but what...
