Some time last year, I think it was December, I ordered a pair of Norton 3X grinding wheels for my Baldor grinder. Well finally the wheels arrived this week, after being back ordered. To enhance the grinding experience, I called our friends at One-way and ordered their grinding wheel balancing...

You may remember my post about a lady backing into my car. I have talked to the insurance company of the lady, AIG, and they have not been able to make contact with her. She will not answer messages on her cell or home phones. The adjuster has sent a letter her home address and is awaiting a...

A Friend sent this to me and I thought it was funny. Electile Dysfunction : the inability to become aroused over any of the choices for president put forth by either party in the 2008 election year.

at Garrett Wade. They claim to be true within .0005 per inch.

Just before noon today I had parked at our bank and was discussing our transactions with my wife. As I was about to get out of the car, the car is jolted just as if I had forgotten to put it in park and it had hit the retaining wall in front of it. The problem was that the car was in park and...

Well the boys on the left coast are at it again. I heard on the radio today that there is a movement in California to give the utility companies the right to remotely set your thermostat at what the company thinks it should be. It is promoted as an authorization to be invoked in an emergency...

A friend sent me a link to the Kyle Lograsso video. It is long but just a great story.

For some time I have been curious about the use of Ethanol in place of gasoline. I did some googling today, and found a table of energy content for various fuels. You can find the comparisons at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory website. At the ornl I found what I had been looking for...

As noted in a previous post, I had ATT DSl installed this last Tuesday afternoon. All appeared to go well, and I am happy with the speed.:thumb: HOwever, there is one continuing problem. It seems that all the great thinkers at ATT can't find a way to give me an Email account. It started...

The man from MaBell came by this afternoon and installed my DSL line. It uses a Netopia modem/router/firewall box. A check at dslreports.com clocked it at 2.5Mb download and 418 Kb upload. Let the fun begin.:thumb::wave:

and any other expressions that you can conjure up. Several weeks ago I got a mailer from our local phone company, AT&T. They said with pictures and good words that DSL is now available. I had some other items on the fire so I did nothing but check on-line, and yes, I qualified for DSL...

After 13 years of service and driving fun, it was time to let go of my 1995 M/B C280. This afternoon I took delivery on 2007 Mercedes Benz E320 Bluetec diesel. Here are a couple pictures. Yes, Tyler Howell, it did happen.;) A couple exterior shots. Interior from the passenger's side...

What my daughter thinks of our cats Finally, I got around to taking a picture of this picture my daughter gave me for Father's Day. She saw an artist at the Fort Worth Arts Festival and had him do a picture of our two characters. Any resemblance to real life is strictly coincidental. :dunno...

I ran across this over on Wood Central and thought all you people who like to abuse the guitar might like to give a listen and perhaps even absorb some culture. (Relax, just kidding.)

As Crocodile DunDee might say: A'ts not a mower. N'w this is a Mower.;) ;) And this is the small one.

Hi Jim. I don't think you should have to cut the housing. My MM16 2003 model has an ell bracket that goes from the blade cover to the the back of the guide lift rod. That bracket fixes the cover about 3/4" above the thrust bearing. There is no way the two can interfere with each other...

Yesterday afternoon I was at Autohaus Mercedes Benz to get my car radio installed after having it repaired. The front speakers were not working, and they had to send it out for repair. My car is a 13 year old M/B C280; the M/B for people on welfare.:rolleyes: As I was waiting for my car to...

then give a listen to this audio clip. The scene is JFK airport, and the speaker is the ground controller. http://home.online.no/~chainly/JFKGround.mp3
