    Personally, I would just go down to the local big box and get a 1/3hp Badger or whatever the house brand is. Maybe 1/2hp, but 1/3 has always worked for us. Don’t spend a ton on a “quiet” model. It’s only on for 10 secs at a time once or twice a day, anyway.

    I'm not an electrician. I've got all the parts together to do this and on the surface it's a pretty simple task for a handy kinda guy like me! There are four things that are keeping me from doing this although I will eventually get around to it. 1) The breaker for the generator needs to be in...

    The Accountant 2 (2025)

    I saw the first one. Without spoiling this for everyone I didn’t know who the blond lady was or who the little boy was.

    Saw this yesterday. Pretty dumb, made worse by me by not knowing who was who until my wife explained it to me on our out the door. My mistake all around.

    I was just going to post about this. I remember listening to Bob Newhart on the radio with my Dad back in the 60s. The one-sided telephone conversations were hysterical.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This was really my fault. I was working on a bolt I couldn't see, it was 100 degrees out, I was reaching around a wheel working backwards and had convinced myself I was turning the right direction (I wasn't) and when I couldn't budge it, I went for the cheater pipe. The real rustle was I bought...

    Horizon: An American Saga, Part 1

    Say what you will but at least this was an original idea for a movie. Before it started, we sat through a preview for a rehash of ‘Twister’, cleverly renamed ‘Twisters’, a preview for a movie called 'Beetleguise' that I think I saw 36 years ago and one for some stupid Transformers flick. I think...

    Horizon: An American Saga, Part 1

    Saw this today. Was kinda dreading it seeing as how it was 3 hours long, but I really enjoyed it and the time went by quickly. Beautiful scenery and a good story that is really several plot lines that are all interesting with interesting characters. The Cowboy and Indian stuff was pretty even...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    One of my childhood memories is going on a field trip with my Little League team to Candlestick Park to see a real baseball game. We saw Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and I think Juan Marichal.

    Router Questions

    I have an Arris SB6141 cable modem and an ASUS RT-AC68U router in my living room. All this works very well. Now my internet provider has increased my speed from 200Mbps to 600Mbps for less money and they recommend I upgrade my modem to take advantage of the increased speed. I have purchased an...

    I bought this a few years ago. It has never failed and I'm kinda lax with the cleaning schedule, that is, I don't do it as often as they recommend. I make 2 "lungos" after dinner everyday and have done so from the day we bought it. I use a stand alone frother instead of the steam wand because...

    It's good to see you also have to have all the screws lined up. I wouldn't have it any other way and to those that don't understand this, well, I feel bad for you.

    I'll probably regret showing a picture of the Pickleball court I painted on my driveway.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    That's what I was referencing in my post. In Idaho, putting that trolling motor on your boat makes it motorized and you must register it for around $30/year, not a big deal. Right now, my boat is not required to be registered. I just have to buy a $7 'invasive species sticker'. I still might do...
