    This. The V8's and the standard transmissions are for people who care about nostalgia more than performance. I too feel romantic about a 1970 Chevelle SS with the 454 big block but it did 0-60 in 6.1 seconds. Teslas are doing it in under 2 seconds. My ecoboost F-150 convinced me of this...

    Have you tried Valentina? To me it tastes almost exactly the same as Cholula but the 34oz bottle of valentina is $2.80 where a 12 oz bottle of Cholula is pushing $7.

    Frankly, all the fancy cast iron is just trying to separate you from your money. I have an antique cast iron skillet with a smooth bottom and there's no difference in how you cook anything. I fry eggs in my lodge every day and it works just fine. I like the old stuff just because it's old and...

    What area? My bird hunters have been saying the sharptails had a bad year but that's not surprising since it's been a bad drought. Lots of grasshoppers to eat but not much cover.

    The question to really ask yourself is how often do you really want to climb a 12,000 foot peak? If you're like most people it's about 3 times per lifetime even if they claim differently. When I lived in the bay area people used to say "I would never live far from the ocean" and I would always...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    The 49ers game was hard to watch. Can't believe all the injuries again. I fucking hope at least Trent Williams can make it back. What a crazy situation to be in with your kicker basically going out during pre-game warm ups. The only fun part was getting to see Lance a bit more. He seemed...

    The wall mount looks good and that guy is a real man but if you want a slab to put your mini-split on it doesn't have to cost more than a couple of 2x6's, a bucket, a hose, and about $25 worth of quikrete.

    Swamp coolers work well in dry environments but probably not too well in Florida. I'm not sure what is meant by portable air conditioner but most of them need a window or at least a vent for outside air. If you're open to spending a bit more money, a mini-split AC would be great for a garage.

    A neighbor lady gave me a 9 lb chuck roast to cook for a community dinner because she wanted something more interesting than a pot roast done with it. After reading up a bit I smoked it pretty much exactly like I would a brisket. It came out very similar to brisket. In fact pretty much...

    That's a cool wrench. I haven't seen one like that before. The house I lived in before this one was built in 1940 and had some plumbing like that. I just cut some of it out because no amount of wrench force was going to get those threads apart.

    Even without the gravity of the comet, there'd have to be some force to move it off. There's no air resistance or bumps or anything like that which would knock rocks off of a moving object on earth.

    I just looked online to see what my 2011 F-150 is worth. I paid $20k for it 3 years ago and now people are asking $23-26k for ones just like it. If I had an old beater to drive I'd be tempted to sell it, wait a year, and then buy a newer model to replace it.

    The trout pond here has a windmill powered aerator that keeps the fish alive through the winter. Most of the time it keeps a hole in the ice but it does freeze over when it's below zero for a couple of days. I assume the bubbles still brings in oxygen even if the hole freezes over. No...

    Woke stuff aside, it seems like they're doing a decent job of making the game harder to make up for the shorter duration. Danny the NFL player is my early favorite.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    He does tend to come through in the clutch. Probably wouldn't have to if he was a little more accurate in the first half. I don't blame him for the INT on the deep ball, that was just a great play by the DB. We better hope Trey Sermon gets better or we sign another RB. He looked lost out...

    This is what I always wished was an option with Sunday Ticket. I pay $240 or something for Sunday Ticket but most weeks I just watch the Niners game plus maybe one other, SNF or MNF. If I could just get the Niners for half the price it would still be a better value to me. There's something...

    I put a battery backup on my DVR and my modem/router. The DVR was because we get a lot of power blinks where the power just goes off for a few seconds but it would screw up any recordings I had going at the time which is pretty annoying. Love having the wifi work while the power is out though...

    My girlfriend uses that electric mesh stuff. It works well and she doesn't usually even turn it on. I think the electricity is more to keep other things out than to keep the chickens in. Very easy to move except for the charger needing a ground rod. If it's an option go with the plug-in...

    It won't reset? Or it immediately trips again when you reset it? If it won't reset at all you probably need a new breaker. If it immediately trips again then something is still wet as others have said.

    Raising it off the ground is a good idea. You don't need to keep wood shavings down for them. They sleep on roosts, not on the floor so it doesn't matter if there's crap on the floor. I've even seen coops where they put chicken wire for the floor under the roosts so the shit just falls out...

    Costner is great in the show. Some people like Beth but she is just way too far out there to me to be believable. Most of the other characters are pretty shallow. The plots and the cowboy stuff is just pure cornball melodrama. I'm still watching for Costner and because it's kind of fun but...

    It looks like the power is disconnected from it. That might be all it would take to get it going again. Those shallow well jet pumps are like $150-$300 depending on how big you need but they're not much. That type of pump can usually only pump about 25 feet max so your well is not deep.
