    THE OTHER critter question for JasonJ.

    Here is a picture of the entry? to a bee's? nest on the side of my house. I guess the critters are bees but they do not look like conventional honey types.<br /><br />You can see a small hole near the hypotenuse of the triangular confab. This is where the critters come and go from. There had...

    Critter question for JasonJ.

    Jason, my little doggie keeps getting fleas. He probably picks them up from sitting and laying on the lawn. Can't imagine how any self respecting flees would still be out in this cold and often wet weather. Also can't imagine a pooch going out and laying in the lawn when it is pooring rain...

    Construction question?

    What would be the longest span you would want to make using 4 x 4's as the header support for a lightly loaded roof? This would be for a shed roof that will use 2 x 6's, 16" on center tied to the adjoining building and run out over a header of a free standing wall.<br /><br />The outer wall...

    SeaFoam report.

    I never saw an automotive fuel or oil additive that I did not consider to be snake oil. But all of the discussion re SeaFoam, on this board, enticed me to give it a try. So I bought a few cans and set them on the shelf.<br /><br />As of recent my Wifes '01 Taurus, w, 41k miles started running...

    A video the Left does not want to see....

    ...Even you all who have swallowed the Left's hook that Bush lied would have trouble denying these words from some of the most partisan Left Wingers. If you doubt your party's disingenuos use of this tactic, you are one of THEM. It invalidates your party's quest for power.<br /><br />...

    I am puzzled.

    A big battle has been brewing about the exclusion of Creation as an explanation for all of the wonders that exist in our world. For many years the 'theory of evolution' has been crowding out any possibility that our world has been constructed by the hand of God.<br /><br />As of late the...

    Bad day (wkend) at Black Rock!

    This weekend started out about as lousy as one could imagine. Friday nite, my son, came home for the weekend, from College and left the garage door open when he came in at 11:30 pm. Sometime during the nite the bad guys (probably Meth addicts) spotted the open door, came inside, grabbed a half...

    Rot deterence solutions?

    A while back there was a lot being posted about solutions to inhibit rot. One of them was Ethylene Glycol but I don't think that was too compatible with later epoxy treatment.<br /><br />There was another compound that I can not remember. Does anyone have a link to these ideas? I thought I...

    Sending a WPL file.

    How does a WPL file work? I saved a monologue from Paul Harvey and would like to send a link to a friend. The file shows up in MY PLAYLISTS as a 1KB WPL file. When you select the segment off of the Paul Harvey website, it doesn't identify a link, it just opens straight to Windows Media...

    Computer back-up revisited.

    Some time back I posted this question and I think that Xcusme posted a link to a program in answer to my post. As it turned out, the program did not do what I had hoped. I even emailed the outfit to confirmed that to be the case. They said maybe sometime in the future but not now.<br /><br...

    When will we learn? Company pension plans

    I just read an article about Delphi Corporation, the nation's largest auto supplier, filing for bankruptcy. One of the issues at hand are the pension benefits.<br />Now, as ya'll know, I am not a Corporation basher but it seems that American Corporations have taken their lessons from Social...

    'Factory Refurbished' electronic products?

    Just bought a Nikon 5600 digital camera for my son. It was 'refurbished'. I have purchased a number of 'refurbished' products before and have always had good luck with them. They always come in the original packaging with all of the original accessories, manuals and CD's when applicable. In...

    Scratch (gouge) Patch??

    I just discovered these gouges on the bottom of my hull. Don't know how long they've been there but they are, maybe 1/8" deep.<br /><br />Any reason I can't just mix up a batch of Epoxy Peanut Butter and trowel it in level with the hull? I'm not real concerned with appearances down there.<br...

    Looking for a 12v DC motor. "pic"

    Anyone have any idea where I might look for a motor (as pictured) It is a 12v DC motor out of my radial bilge blower.

    Who uses a gasoline flowmeter....NEW INFO ON NAVMAN

    ...in lieu of a gas guage. And if so what can you tell me about it? With a tank the shape of mine ( flat on top, tapered on the bottom, 3" deep on the sides to 8" deep in the middle) gas guages are just about useless.
