General Conversations

Just got a phone call from Pepsi and he states that they are bringing in fire wood and food, etc in preparation for this incoming storm. Flagmanruss, let us please hear from you and how you are doing, and all the other members on the East Coast. Let us hear from you, please. Keep us informed. Love MoparMom

Granted, my new stove hasn't been going 24/7; but it's almost Nov., and I haven't flipped the switch to turn on my furnace yet!!!!!!:thumbup2: As of now, I'm only running it on an "as needed" basis...........to keep the chill out of the house as well as the humidity.I tried taking some pix last night of my little Engander 13NC cruising at 650* stove-top with the "secondaries" going like the "northern lights"!!!!! Don't know how to set my camera for such stuff!!!!!:duh: The pix sucked.........even I couldn't figure them out.........and I wasn't gonna post some crap for y'all!!!!!Wish me luck..........I'll try again later tonite once the temps drop to get some "secondar…

Like... who (here) does transportation/shipping with their truck?Is it financially stable?Is it profitable?Is it costly? (aside from maintenance stuff)I'm tired of doing IT stuff.

Your noble leader turned 42 today. I said Happy Birthday to him and he just grunted...it's just another day. He's all yours....

what is a good choice for an add-on indoor wood furnace? I've been eyeballing a Firechief fc700 It's rated at 150000 btu's. Looks like a pretty good unit.Why do I wait for the snow (yep, 4 inches last night) to start thinking about keepin the house warm?

http://www.monumentalmovie.com/ http://www.obamasrealfather.com/ Its WELL WORTH the time to spend watching these two movies. Make these a priority to watch these before going out and watching something else.

Turns out the program is heavily aimed at the college kids. Telling them in the past, we got this country all wrong. Teaching about the guys that were innovative enough, industrialized and developed this country are not the heroes but, bad people. It turns out that already 670 colleges have signed up for this agenda and the EPA is behind it all the way. so this is why we have the protests.... even the information fed to these kids is tantamount to brainwashing said the report, as they read some of the program on the show.So now why do we have less honest hard working folks that sign up for free entitlements today? Spread the wealth? What a bunch of H.S. I say you get rewa…

New Jersey giving $1000 dollar reward to turn people with firearms. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_rY8ZUbrnU I believe in the 2nd Admendment Right I Open Carry and Conceal Carry.

Should I go organics so that I don't wear down the discs? Wear the pad down, not the rotors? is what I'm thinking.

Ok, so I'm looking to replace my current saw with something a little more substantial.. Currently (and for the past 4 yrs) I've been swinging a Homelite Pro 20 in. Gas 46 cc saw. It originally came with a 16" bar/chain, so year 2, I bought a 20" bar setup for it. It cuts like a champ, albeit sometimes hard to start. It doesn't like to idle for more than 20 sec. or so, but it has cut many a cord of wood. The downside I have with it, is that 1) it wants to curve the cut when going through anything bigger than 10" diameter.. 2) it tends to stall the chain if you apply any real pressure to the saw when cutting. I don't want to spend $1000, or even $5…

A VERY GOOD read.. http://gizmodo.com/5950763/holy-fcklook-at-all-these-sr+71-blackbirds-together

Pretty amazing... make the jerks pay for the damages! http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/camaro-owner-records-mechanics-abusing-car-scheming-damages-152707580.html

The other day I had a member call me asking about loctite and such and although everyone has their own way of doing it, I thought it would really be neat to get a guide going as to when to use loctite, what type to use, fine vs. course. thread benefits, wire wheeling the bolts before reinstalling, what you should do to the hole before putting the bolt back in or just on a new install (new part install). Also the importance of proper bolt torque and what tolerances there are (how close to the spec does it need to be..) For instance, the red and blue loctite seem to mix together in applications if you ask me. I was thinking we could get some solid guidelines to which one…

Man! I can't believe the news, more violence and overwhelming debt are just a couple. How many you guys, like me, think we're seeing the beginnings of some insurmountable problems?All you can do is get in your truck, go campin', hunting, fishing.

Looking for a program that will allow me to play the video files I took using the Blackberry. Format is .3gp I believe. google has not been my friend in this endeavor.

pretty sure I'll be posting some pics here from time to time.... I have most in photobucket.Do I use the IMG code for setting them?thanks!

There is an awesome site where you can find those flights with live real time data flying over your head. Tells you a ton of data like how many seats are filled and how much the tickets cost even. It only tracks commercial flights though so the small private planes and military or any helicopter flights don't show up. Enjoy http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KBIS

Just a wondrin' Michael. Sounds like it's to damn dry to even fart outside while smoking around your parts. Twas looking forward to some pix.I've run my new stove probably a dozen times now. After the first 6, I added 3 feet to the chimney. World of difference. Now I don't have to be so anal about watching temps as I dial her down. She cruises at 550-600* stove top temps............beautiful secondaries going also. I'll post some pox of the secondaries later. Need to find a way to circulate the heat around the house now!!!!:banghead:

Well it seem to never quit for me now I've got another web site to manage. This is a private web site for my fire dept and currently sharing a small part of the server. If the Salmon River Rural start to really using it they will take over the ownership on there own server. But here it is at... http://srrfd.mopar1973man.com It still rather raw. But this is going to hopefully soon have fire information of what going on up here in my local area.
