    What are you working on today?

    Had an ISX15 in a W900. Great engine. SO much better than the Cat junk engine in another truck.

    New tool thread

    I just ran across a video on FB of this and it was interesting but of course they made it to appeal. https://shop.snapon.com/product/Hand-Tools/Non-Conductive-Magnetic-Pick-up-Tool/PTHVFLEX

    Pulled the Plug on Vanguard

    One of the advantages of being poor, none of this drama and hassle to deal with. :)

    Pulled the Plug on Vanguard

    My best half has Vanguard and has very good results with their performance but has never needed to contact them. Sounds like it will be a different story then. I had T Rowe and fully satisfied with them. Good luck sorting everything.

    Why owning a home is so pricey ...

    Police, other than maybe the chief in major departments, are not overpaid considering the job. Teachers overall may be underpaid and a bit of that could be rectified by cutting the extreme overpayment of administration positions and overstaffing. Our high school had a principal and an assistant...

    So take your own car and go to the takeout place of your choice.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    It's interesting how many people cook (insert name of any food here) and don't even want to taste (insert name of same food here) so they add all sorts of seasonings or toppings to taste completely different than (insert name of same food here). My Granny had a blue glass salt shaker that sat on...

    What are you doing right now?

    We did D.C. the week between Christmas and New Year 1982, about 9 days total. We spent two full days at the Smithsonian and could have done a whole week easily. Lots of other great stuff too. We did the same, walked a few blocks from our hotel to the last metro stop and rode in/out. It was...

    Went looking at new Corolla's with/for a buddy. Nope, not happening.

    Just looking at my preferred dealer website and they have two LE's now, $24,213 and $25,021. Didn't look to see what all GST added at the port but they never add anything to any vehicle.

    Setting up new tv?

    Yes, it has one cable with a D connector for the HDMI port and one coax cable with the antique screw on connector. Both come from Xfinity equipment.

    Setting up new tv?

    Ok, I did find it at 16:9/720 and reset it to 16:9/1080 (best setting). And that was their annotation. So far, so good. We'll see what happens now.

    10 year old / 21k mile car with 3 verified oil changes

    We had a TSX from 2007 until it was totaled by a distracted driver who didn't see traffic stopped for the red light. Probably still have it otherwise.

    What are you working on today?

    The roofing company removed the rest of the chimney then built regular roof over that area joining up with the rest of the roof. That's the limit of my roofing knowledge I'm afraid. Luckily I had an excellent roofing company.

    Setting up new tv?

    No, we don't have HD. Yes, our box is just with the blue light. I have no clue what that last paragraph says. :)

    Books to give away

    I don't know if "Little Free Library" operates where you are but if so they might want some. Perhaps churches for their youth/fellowship centers? Used bookstores often want books and will pay a bit for them. Once they've chosen and paid for what they want they will often relieve you of others if...

    What are you working on today?

    This is our living room ceiling. Our chimney had roof issues around it. When they went to fix it the chimney chose suicide and jumped, mostly onto the back yard but partly into the living room. We'd never used the fireplace once in 19 years. We no longer have a chimney, just a nice solid roof now.

    Setting up new tv?

    We are semi-Luddite. We have Xfinity and it is watching DVR from that. We don't have any blu or green or other rays or anything else, just the cable from the Xfinity box to the set.

    Setting up new tv?

    We got the LG B4 48" from Best Buy. It has a really nice picture and is bright. It doesn't use the entire screen though. Watching recordings of old 70's/60's shows it has a ~4" margin all the way around. Watching current stuff it uses full width but ~3" black band top and bottom. Went to...

    Handgun recommendation

    I have the EZ in .30SC. I wanted one of the EZ models and wanted the new caliber so it only made sense to go with the combination. I like the EZ and have it in my carry rotation. Can't speak on any other new S&W pistols but the EZ is definitely a nice choice.
