    New Ruger GP100 357 6" stainless

    I have wanted one of these for a long time. I think I got a decent deal on it which is what made me get it. Everywhere else I see was $50 to $200 more than the $849.99 that this was. Plan to use it for hunting, plinking and anything else you would use a revolver for. Might even get into...

    I don’t understand graphics cards.

    Is there someone that can explain these things to me in simple terms? I don’t understand the specs or why they are so blasted expensive. I don’t see an easy way to compare any specs to figure out what I need. We got my son Farming Simulator 25 for Christmas. I have a free year old dell...

    Diving into the UniFi world

    So I bit the bullet and bought a UniFi setup. Have been having some issues with my setup and not pleased with the control I have over it. Also have issues with electronics obsessed children so need to isolate devices to SSIDs that I can shut off at night. Kind of guessed on what I needed...

    Heritage Rough Rider

    Bought a Heritage Rough Rider today for $109.99 from Dunham's. 6.5" barrel fixed sights black mother of pearl grip 22lr. Been eyeing these for a while and thought I would give it a go for that price. First impression of it was OK. It is a low priced gun so wasn't expecting the best fit and...

    When to retire a plinking gun?

    I was shooting my S&W 22A a couple of days ago and having all sorts of FTF issues with three different boxes/ brands of ammo. Had several light strikes that fired on a second or third attempt and about 5 duds out of a 1100 round Federal Black Pack and a couple of Auto Match. No duds with...

    Found a filter cutting video.

    Ran across this. Been watching these guys for a while. They make some good videos even though they recently started adding annoying junk to them.

    What are you smoking?

    Okay lets do one of these threads for smoked food. I have to smoke 120lbs of pork loin for an FFA banquet. Using Meat Church Honey Hog BBQ and apple wood. Had to cut 6-8 inches off of each loin to fit them in the smoker and can only get 2 loins to a rack. Going to have to do 3 loads by the...

    What is this Volkswagen truck?

    Saw this today in town. Couldn't see the model or read where the license plate was from but doesn't look like a U.S. plate. Large meat packing plant here getting people from all over the world but they don't pay enough to have a vehicle shipped here so I am guessing it may be a country north...

    Aircraft near miss?

    Driving home from a long work night/day/week through Iowa City on the highway a plane caught my eye. It was a business jet heading east with it running gear down like it was going to land at the airport right in that area. I thought it was odd as you usually don't see many plans landing that...

    Honda eGX Electric Boogaloo

    https://engines.honda.com/models/series/egx I don't know what to think about this. It reminds me of the first generation of LED light retrofits. You loose the benefit of new technology by just trying to mimic old technology with new off the shelf parts.

    I have bought a new house that is much larger than our current one. Currently I use a Netgear Nighthawk R6350 that covers the current 1200sqft ranch nicely from a central point in my basement. The new house is 3700sqft with a full basement and partial second floor in a bad cell reception area. I...

    B&D drink mixer

    https://www.blackanddecker.com/product/behb101/bev-blackdeckertm-cocktail-maker I realize they do make appliances also but I saw this on a tool website so..... I know Makita makes a battery powered coffee maker so they should have branded this as DeWalt and had it take a power tool battery.

    Did you ever notice...

    ...That you can tell how big a bump or dip in the road is by how big the oil stain is after it? Also related to that is tire marks from spread axle trailers especially if being on the brakes is common. Been up since midnight and drove about 400 miles so lots of odd stuff to think about.

    Cistern questions

    So my house was built in 1970. It has had rural water probably since the late 80s or early 90s. I have used the cistern for water to settle the dirt from the septic system install when we bought the house in 2012. The cistern is two round concrete tanks with a three foot wide access above ground...

    Brake rattle

    Brakes on my suburban were getting thin and rust creeping on the friction surface to the point where I noticed the rear brakes doing more work. They have had a rattle for 20000 miles now but nothing looked out of place or felt loose so I figured it was pads rattling. Not so munch…. Previous...
