To each their own of course. I rarely go anywhere for the sake of being where ever it is, the travel is usually as interesting or more so to me than the destination itself. But then I've mostly traveled for work, and in rural areas. When I was a kid in Maine, I didn't like driving much. Just a whole...

This is one of about 100 reasons I don't fly

The reaction of both airlines and unions to the rule change is another of those reasons. I'll drive any day, scenery is better too.

Anything that requires installation of proprietary software won't work for me - been running linux for years. The trouble with photobucket is not that it's got a low end free service that people bitch about but still use, the problem is that they "improved" that service, trying to make it,...

Thought it was going to be German disco for a minute there

Is it just me or does the recoil look pretty mild? Never had the pleasure of shooting anything like that, so I wouldn't know.

Sure looks like fun though

That plywood is 1/2" baltic birch. It comes in 5' square sheets from lumber yards that cater to the cabinet trade. Runs about $35 a sheet these days. Used to be $15 in the 1990's. Its available in 3/4" as well, but that's kind of overkill for cabinets so you don't always see it around the ...

I've never seen it done that way... interesting... I use jigs that I attach to the miter gauge. Just a piece of plywood with a finger of wood the same width as the fingers of the box joint.

Well grizz a subject I know inside and out. I've built custom furniture for years. use titebond 2, its weather resistant. Also make a jig for your tablesaw so you can have box joints all the way up, will give you more strength as you'll have more surface area to glue. gotta love working with wood I...

I've used Obenauf's too, its good stuff - especially the liquid treatment. With the liquids and some of the softer waxes, one thing that I like to do is apply the goop and then hit the leather lightly with a heat gun. Especially when using heavy pastes and tallow the leather really soaks it right up.

From what I understand, most leather conditioners are based on little more than mineral oil with some various waxy compounds added to it. The only downside to food oils like olive is that they may eventually become rancid, and have an unpleasant odor as a result. From a functional point of view, bot...

Some vendors may be sharks, but as long as people are willing to pay their asking price there is nothing immoral about it. Immoral is selling a drowning guy a life vest, not charging panic prices for ammo. Obama has a lot of people spooked, why not blame him instead? This is what happens when we ele...

I've never had a flu shot, but I've had the flu a number of times. Last time was when our telescope mechanic who had burned up all his paid sick leave on extending vacations brought it up to the mountain and gave it to everyone else. Nothing like having the flu at 10,500 feet elevation.

The thing that burns me about the political side of it is that it simply doesn't matter what caused it.

I've got a batch of pea soup going in the crock pot too. Lots of ham, split peas, and water, maybe a bit of salt if the ham isn't one of the super salty ones.

The canopy itself is badly rippled, like cheap greenhouse plastic. Casting large clear polycarbonate panels for aircraft is a significant technology - it's not easy at all.

How many rapes are prevented each year by the intended victim either shooting or scaring off the would be rapist? Thousands - I don't know offhand how many thousands.

I've been watching for a full rifle 94 in 32 spl, there was just an un-molested one on GB that was even a take down version.

Yeah, the seller is a small minded cheap azz jerk. But its a free country, or at least kinda free, and he has every right to be those things without affecting you at all.

I'm sorry to hear about it, losing pets is never easy. Old age is the best though, even while you miss the pet, you do know that it lived a long and happy life. A few years ago, my wife got it in her head that she wanted a dairy cow. That cow became quite the pet also, and it was very tough on both ...

Yeah, it doesn't work too well to compare the US to many of those countries. Mexico is however a prime example of totally failed gun control and rampant murders. Like the US, it has a lot of rural agricultural communities, where guns have real utility. When I worked down there I saw tons of illegal ...
