    Has anyone else been as foolish....

    ...as I am, for undertaking the entire repaint of the inside of their 3300 sq ft house? I am talking more white wood work trim, window casings, vaulted ceilings, doors doors and more doors than you can shake a stick at. All this in a house that is so crowded with goodies from a long life of...

    Another example of style over substance.

    The $400 Haircut Did John Edwards get his money's worth? http://www.slate.com/id/2164520?GT1=9330 I love the excesses from those who profess to represent the common man. I guess they figure that the 'common man' is a real dupe', 'cause he apparently spent their campaign donation dollars for...

    An excellent Column from Thomas Sowell.

    Aside from the fact that he is just another Uncle Tom, this column hits the nail on the head regarding Conservatives' need for outrage. http://jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell041107.php3 Especially poignant, is his statement, "Ted Kennedy, alone, has expressed more outrage than the entire...

    Wood filler?

    I have a near floor level window sill (door height stationary side glass to front entry) that has the soft grain eroded out of it by 18 years of poochydogs putting their grubby little paws on it while they sit and watch out the window. The sill/casing floor is aproximately 5" deep by 16" wide...

    Did Imus provide....

    ....any thing of value, to anyone, other than......? He has been off our Portland/Vancouver airwaves for some time. I tried to listen to him, but other than the fact that he came to despise Hillary, I couldn't find much value in him. Kind of like the Howard Stern of .....? What say ya'll?

    Corel Draw/Photo/Paint Expert needed!

    I have been trying to get my avatar set up for the new regime. It is a web based .gif file and it too big to display under the new rules. I copied the gif file to MY PICTURES, then opened it up in Corel Draw 7. Corel let me proportionately reduce the pixels of all 14 elements of the animated...

    Glue like I have never experienced!

    I just removed the risors on my '76 888. From all appearances they were original. I had one exhaust boot/sleeve that sprung a leak whilst I was winterizing the boat last fall. Ultimately, even the other one showed numerous cracks on the inside of the boot. To remove the risors, I had to...

    NJ School Holds Hostage Drill With Christian Terrorists

    The following goes hand in hand with the Democrats' erasing of the term 'War on Terror'. "Two Burlington Township police detectives portrayed the gunmen. Investigators described them as members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the “New Crusaders” who don’t believe in separation of...

    Merc 188 cam specs? (latest info)

    Are they available? Tail Gunner has me sweating bullets, so I thought as long as I had the intake manifold off for the 4bbl conversion of my BeachCraft 302, I might consider pushing the limits with a new cam. I know, ya want to stay withing certain parameters but Delta Cam, in Seattle, claims...

    800 information number for cell phone use?

    A while ago, someone posted an 800 # that you could use to get 411 from on your cell phone. My comment had been the rediculous cost of each inquiry thru the cell phone carriers information number. Foolishly, I did not record it and as the search function here is not functional, I'd hoped that...

    This is where State Socialism will lead you!

    Now the state determines what you can name your child. http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=257084&GT1=7702 Personally, I think it is a stupid name for a child, but if you want your decisions preempted by the State, you just keep voting for liberal Democrats. ...and if you don't think...

    Merc 888 log style manis and risors?

    Seems this was a question not too long ago. I just popped of my left risor because my risor to 'Y' boot developed a little pinhole in it while I was winterizing it. I have little clearance around the risor and was unable to loosen it with the dead weight hammer. Today, I took my modified...

    Merc throttle cable travel direction.(PICTURES ADDED)

    I'm getting ready to install the TailGunner Whooper (Holley 4bbl) on my Beachcraft 302. Today, I was just examining the circumstances and noticed the the throttle cable pushes forward, on the top of the little two bbl throttle shaft bracket. This set up keeps the cable mounted high and out of...

    Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications

    I am getting real PO'd at this. It just started a short time ago and they are doing it every 2 weeks or so and it is the only thing that they are presenting. Under the guise of Windows Updates, they are continually checking to see if my copy of XP is genuine. Once they issue it, you can't...

    450 cfm refurb just arrived from Holley.

    I wished I had taken a 'before' picture. The transformation is incredible. The carb had no di-chromate finish left on it and it looked as if it had been sitting on a trash heap for many a year. It also was missing one of it's 'J' tubes and had an old style choke cover. They did a bang up...

    What new vehicle will Algore choose now....

    ...to jumpstart his failed political career and to continue on his quest to lead us to socialism? Actually, the more evidence builds to discredit his shrill warning of man made calamity, the more absurd he is acting. Sorry Al, you've had a good run with it, even though not everyone bowed to...

    You got to read this, they're eating themselves alive!

    Someone posted a link to the youtube video that accurately portrayed Queen Hill as the Orwellian devil. It was all assumed that it was put out by the 'evil right wing' conspirators. Guess again! It was Barrack Obama bin Ladins camp that did it. What a hoot. I guess there is no honor amongst...

    If there ever was an individual.....

    ...who was born to fulfill the definition of the word 'buffoon', it was Algor. I watched some of his charade before Congress on global warming. He just glowed about his return to the hallowed halls. If there was ever an individual who took up a cause to salvage his personal being, this is...

    Filling compound for small holes.

    I've long been dissapointed in compounds for filling small holes or other depressions. It is very difficult to measure out accurate tiny doses of various resins. MarineTex is also impossible to measure out their 5 to 1 mixture and when you do it is way too sloppy to make good use of. Today I...

    A different perspective on Left vs Right.

    Just ran across this quote from Ronald Reagan. I think he hit the nail on the head. "You and I are told increasingly that we have to choose between left or right. Well I would like to suggest that the there is no such thing as a left or a right. There is only an up or down.- up to a man's...
