Recently, I purchased a 2013 Toyota Highlander. I had been wanting one for several years, and things finally fell into place. It's the "Limited" model, so has all the bells and whistles- many of...

mineral spirits

After watching about 20 minutes of the movie Horrible Bosses, I switched it off. I couldn't believe the language being used - if I used any of it here in the Bilge, I'd be banned for life- and with...

What- no narration!!! Bummer! Many truly unique boats- Thanks Dylan.

Problem solved! I successfully flushed the water heater today. After turning off the power, over a period of five or six hours, I opened the drain valve and the supply valve for a short time, and...

Like Ian said- CPES

First, thanks for all replies. However, I did provide some incorrect info- I dug out some paperwork on the heater that was left by the former owner of the house. The water heater was actually...

While shaving this morning, I noticed that the water in the sink looked rather yellowish colored. So I emptied it, and refilled it with just the cold water - no problem- clear. Then did the same...

Ditto to everything that's been said- and give him a hug for me.

I'm in shock, I tell you! I was watching the Today show this morning, and as part of a segment, they interviewed the gov of Massachusetts. He actually said - hold onto your hats - and you ready...

I can't believe that a (knowledgeable????) contractor would install OSB - treated or not - in an area that may be exposed to moisture - especially as a "finished" floor.

If so, which one?

Let me start at the beginning: Several months ago, I purchased a Grizzly G0730 vertical milling machine (http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-x-30-Vertical-Mill/G0730). While it's...

My daughter is having a terrible time with Canadian Geese in her yard - and what they leave behind. (will I be banned for saying poop?) She has been told to get some "scarecrows"...er "scaregeese". ...

Hard to type with tears in the eyes.

Touching - best one yet Paul.

Thanks for the info folks. Perhaps I should have mentioned that this boat will live on a trailer under a roof, and only see fresh water (if I can find some here in central Texas). Todd mentioned...

Whew! Yesterday, two friends and I sheathed the strip-planked hull of my 18' TomCat. So I need to decide what paint/color to put on it. We used West System 105 epoxy and 206 hardener. I've read...

Let's see- educators (especially elementary grades) are expected to counsel, nurture, diagnose, discipline, feed, in some cases clothe - oh yeah - and if they can find the time, educate their...

Fairy tales

"nastiness of the table saw"?????


I find that phrase incredibly stupid. There's nothing "nasty" about any tool or piece of equipment, whether it be a table saw, a can opener, or a computer-...

I never cared much for Jim Carrey until I saw this - now I do.

Thanks

The consensus appears to be that I have more than enough epoxy- thanks to all who responded.

I'm all set to apply the FG sheathing to my 18' Catboat. I have 2 friends lined up to help. The hull is strip planked with WRC. We will be applying 10 oz. fabric. In addition to the fabric, I...

IIRC, that's a promo shot from the new Peter Pan movie- that's Tinker Belle!

It's not of the size you mention, but I on the verge of getting this one -http://www.coastaltool.com/a/port/97466.htm

I've had Grizzly's 10" cabinet table saw for over 10 years now and love it. So I recently purchased their 8" X 30" vertical mill. Haven't used it much yet, but while it is certainly not a...

Beautiful photos of some very elegant birds! All we have here in central Texas are Turkey Vultures- graceful on the wing, but BUTT-UUGLY up close!!!

Hire 100,000 Math & Science teachers???? What a dumb (typical) thing for him to say- where's he going to find them? Most young people proficient in these areas (unfortunately) go into other areas...

Too cute!!!!!!

'Bout 12 years ago, my wife gave an hour of aerobatics in a T6- great fun! I had some mild aerobatic experience in my Aeronca Champ and homebuilt Flybaby, but nothing like this! At one point the...

First, Thanks for all the great replies!

Chas- the finish will be paint- an off-white of some kind.

skaraborgcraft- I will be using 206 slow hardener - BTW, I like your suggestion of getting...

I'd like know what specific, individual moron at the TSA came up with the idea to allow knives on commercial flights!

Yesterday, the 10 oz. FG cloth arrived, and I had already picked up the 5 gal. size of West System 105 epoxy- (and I also have an almost full 1 gal. size). So I'm ready to sheath the hull of the...

OK, OK! UNCLE! I will admit that I didn't research this- a non-boating friend sent it to me- I was just passing it along. And FWIW, I am NOT a native Texan- spent my first 63 years in Illilnois -...

This video is of commercial fishing boats coming back from fishing out
off the coast of Washington & Oregon.

They are crossing the Columbia Bar, which is where the Columbia River
meets the...

Just called the Locktite customer service- according to him, it is still available at Lowes- also Home Depot and most "real" lumberyards.

The USPS paid him & his comrades $31million- no wonder those morons (USPS) are in trouble!!!

So it's ok to use a diesel (internal combustion) engine, but not a gasoline (internal combustion) engine? So why don't they all drive diesel pickup trucks?

For 15 years SWMBO & I owned a house...

What hypocrisy!!!!

"Stupid is as stupid does"

Shoulda turned the bird loose on the "singer".

"but it said it was unaware of any drug dealing." Yeah, right.

Re; the video with the guy with the bad hairpiece- What's with the moronic fingerless gloves???? He may as well be wearing a coupla dangly necklaces (with matching earrings) and a few rings- on each...

He's a very generous fellow -he needed the money to buy gifts for all the choirboys he molested.

I know this is a cheap shot, but he (along with every other official of the RCC) deserve it- and...

Best suggestion yet, per Walterc (#4)-
"Have someone who is has the experience with a table saw give you instructions on how to use it safely."

Next best, Get rid of it

"while searching neighborhood rubbish piles" I wanna know where that rubbish pile is!!!!!

Been on half a dozen or so "ocean" cruises- ships are entirely too d**m big, and packed with too many people. I'm really surprised that there aren't more outbreaks of disease. Now river cruises are...

They can't drilled out- they're hardened. Openboater's method seems the most workable.

+++1 On that!!! I've often been tempted to write to the head of Dodge sales asking that they direct their dealers to stop selling Ram pickup trucks to morons!
