  1. And it has yet to turn into the "Nor'easter" so we're not done yet... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

  3. Her birthday is Monday, so she's going to have to make-do with that. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
  4. As soon as I eat some real food, it's 0-beer-30! This crap started around 9:30PM. Now just after 10AM we have around 12-14 inches & the weather is still coming out of the west. At some point the weather will turn & come from the north-east. At that point we can Atlantic ocean moisture to the Gulf moisture already here, plus the winds will increase to 25-35MPH! A 20 year old skydiving injury started hurting around mid November for no reason. Today, my shoulder HURTS LIKE HELL!!!!!! Woke me up every time I moved last night... At least I have enough french toast makings! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
  5. Who did they blame last year? Yea, I keep hearing 18-36 for central/southern NJ & to add insult to injury; high winds for some heavy beach erosion. Grocery store was jamming @ 11AM. Still plenty of bread, milk & eggs on the shelves then, though I did get one loaf of bread. My truck is gassed up & I have over 2 gallons in the can for the snow blowers, both of which are at least 3/4 full. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

    had to be a legendary Kawi Tripple.....typical 2 stroke..nice power..nice power...OH SHIT!!! The Kaw Mach-3. Yep. Had a 500 back in 76 or 77 (traded a dirt bake for it, then traded it for a 400 Bultaco dirt bike). If you weren't ready for the power @ 5000 RPM to double, it was a frighteningly fast ride, made even more terrifying by it's marvelous handling & wonderful brakes.

  7. Add me to the list. Think of all the brainless idiots inside watching TV instead of out on the road driving. Think about how the crime rate goes down when American Idol is on, Think about all the porn channels on......oh wait. MTV is who you'd be thanking. Anyone remember REAL WORLD...? So now, like radio, TV gives you 3 minutes of "programming" followed by 2-1/2 minutes of advertising & self-promotion. Just what a nation with ADD needs!

  10. Have you taken the F-150 in yet? The recall takes about 10 minutes to install. Took my '94 went in for it 3 or 4 years ago (that dealer been closed for 2 years now). The issue lies in a brake pressure switch that has constant power (like brake lights do). The problem is that the switch diaphragm can fail, allowing brake fluid into the electric side of the switch & as it turns out brake fluid is flammable... People have lost houses because of these fires! The fix is a relay & pig-tail that plugs in line with that pressure switch. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
  11. It's in "HO" scale. All computer controlled, so there is no "pattern" to repeat. The roadways have magnetic strips the vehicles follow & the computers again control them all. As they are battery powered, when the computer recognizes a vehicle not keeping up it directs it automatically to a recharging dock behind the scenes. The attraction opened after something like 9 months construction but is continuously added on to, so it's considerably larger than it was when it opened nearly 10 years ago. I believe it takes 15 minutes for the scene to go from daylight to night, & it is constantly on the change. Something similar in New Jersey (http://www.northlandz.com/) & the original in Pennsylvania (http://www.roadsideamericainc.com/).

  12. Yes. You are Pinky and not the Brain... YUP
  13. If it happened in the AM, then yes. Thats the shits! Depends... hard to scoop that one! You can flush something out if ya try! you win, I am wiped out! Fling it if you can't bring it. That's corny one Give us the whole story cheeky dude. Ever seen a starfish puke refried beans? Are we done littering this post with bad puns yet?

  14. Ya know, the only thing I can think of better than big block Chevys & an SR-71 would be HEMIS & AN SR-71! Am I right... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

    Oh, forgot to say: A 6-point socket is a must! Put the usual 12-point socket/wrench on there & you're pretty much assured a rounded nut. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
  19. Heat wave in central NJ today! It was 39°F today! Since the wind wasn't howling I tried out my new "cap support" today: Pulled the cap off the back of the truck, ran to the store, loaded 2 new fence sections, ran home & fixed the fence that got blown down before X-mas (55 MPH winds for 20 minutes, also broke two power poles on my property & another down the road), & got the cap back on the truck. Supposed to start snowing tonite, again, but only 1"-3" expected. Oh, & we'll be back in the deep freeze soon enough, along with most of the country. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/08533 Global warming? Must be in Copenhagen.

    It's warm where Squeak is. Cold here. 6" of snow on top of ice with more to come. I'm bored. There is no life here in the winter. Actually, I really do not care if Squeak gets his nut off or not. Squeak getting his nuts off does nothing for me at all. I'm not at all worried that he will not be able to get a nut off. I'm sure he has gotten his nuts off many times. If he needs a hand getting a nut off, I'm sure Mrs. Squeak would be happy to lend a hand. Like most of us, I'm sure that Squeak had done it enough by himself that he might even have a personal technique to getting a nut off. Me, I personally prefer to splash my nuts with a little heat and then use my impact. Gets my nuts off every time. Anyone else have a special technique? Yes, my special technique involves heat & wax: Apply heat to your nut like normal, except you first apply wax to your nut while it's still hot before attempting to get your nut off.

  22. Does it qualify as a criminal act if someone stands up, turns around, and faces his butt to the rest of the plane before letting loose a particularly noxious emission? Wendy P. That's asault and butt-ery Wouldn't it be easier to get a conviction of "ASSault with a DEADly weapon?" When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
