Some would fall in the category of "outlandish," perhaps, but there are a number of fine vehicles in those photos, vehicles I would be proud to own. In fact, I know some of the people who own those cars. Now, my hotrod isn't a show car. It looks great at 50 feet away at midnight. But I kno...

While I have only the vaguest idea of what Tapatalk is, I have seen people requesting it in other forums lately. But I would have to agree. Having been infected by a virus off an innocuous web site (RV parts) to the extent of having to replace my hard drive, I think a little caution with any new mem...

Well, Obamacare cuts $500,000,000 from Medicare, so I guess they need to hike premiums to cover the shortfall. Just something to think about over the next 14 months, but all of the Republican candidates for president say they will undo Obamacare if elected. You left off three zeroes. $500,000,000,0...

Does it count if my ShopSmith came from Massachusetts? It originally belonged to my father-in-law, and my wife got it when he died.

I'm trying to imagine the size of rectangular cuboid clay-based building unit SS's lawyers would excrete if they heard them telling customers to replace a GFI with a non-protected outlet.

We met these guys at our T Bucket Nationals in Dayton, OH, back in June. Many of our cars were photographed with a previous airplane; the one that crashed is a new one, still undergoing testing. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3109/5858111527_15a0637bea_z.jpg Very sorry to hear about this; there was ...

It's interesting to see that the majority of the owners participating in the poll are in the upper age brackets. I would've thought that the bulk of owners would've been in the middle age groups. Eric I consider myself to be "middle-aged." However, since I don't know anyone who is 116 yea...

I think it's still open. We only deliver to those stores like every other week. I've never been to that one. I've been to the one in Gonzales once. I'm going to the one in Grapevine next week for the first time, and it's been open over a year. Haven't been to the one in Houma, either. Most other sto...

Here's a shocker. There is a Toys R Us store in Alexandria right now, I believe. It's not a full-fledged store, but rather one of our "express" stores that we opened for Christmas and they decided to keep open. At least, it was still open the week before last, because I was in the office w...
