    Wouldn't work. Bears have better taste than that.

    How long would you go?

    In my 1992 Ford Explorer I change the oil every two years. Just before the SMOG inspection. The total number of miles driven between oil changes is from 1600 up to 2800. It is usually down about half a quart when I check ir just before doing the oil and filter change. I have used Mobil 1 since...

    Best site to buy ammo online.

    Home ammo deliveries banned in City of Los Angeles (where I just happen to live)? No problem. I just have everything shipped to another address just two miles away. several of the suggested shops have WAY better prices than I can get locally. Like almost half off!

    Tuesday Joke!

    What a waste of a good straight line. When we all know she should have put her head between OUR knees.

    Dog killed, boy injured when Cyanide bomb placed by USDA explodes

    The local populace should have been informed about the placement and location of each device to keep people and animals from wandering across one. But never mind about all that I WANT TO GET SOME OF THOSE! I would never have to yell "GET OFF MY LAWN" ever again.

    Hauled home a 68 GT350

    You got really lucky. Most owners would just consign it to one of the big auctions. Survivors are bringing HUGE money!

    Job Postings

    Post up the pay range. If it's minimum wage there might not be that many people willing to apply. Smart to at least list the location. People can at least research local costs of living if they were considering relocation. I talked to a couple of IT folks that had not even bothered applying for...

    Melted drivers side pistons

    And the easy way to check for a cam timing difference on an assembled engine is just to do a compression check. A big variation between the left and right banks is a sure indicator of a difference in cam timing. But the best way is to time all four cams during assembly, don't trust that doing...

    Cleaning out the crud that accumulates @ trunk hinges?

    I used simple green and a detailing brush. Then a through rinse. The crud is mostly rotten leaves and plain old dirt.

    People are going crazy

    Is this the Idaho version of "Get Off Of My Lawn"?

    A friend that shares sensitive info...

    Throw a backyard BBQ. And just when everyone has downed their second drink blurt out the whole story. So his wife, the other woman, her husband, all their friends all hear it at once. Make sure you put the following shitstorm on YouTube. Maybe make a little mod money.

    Finally Cut That Cord!

    Does anyone make a stand alone DVR with menu service? Kind of like the old services that were run out of business by the cable companies.

    Visit a gunstore. Oh, that's right. Nevermind.

    Finally some new garage progress

    That's a really nice amount of space. I bet the insulation you installed will make a huge difference too. Have you made a lighting plan? I just installed a few of the LED 48" fixtures from Costco. I needed much better light levels over a workbench so I put six fixtures over it and on the wall...
