    Went shopping for Turkey yesterday. Fail.

    Aldi has Butterball Turkey on sale .87 cent/lb and Bone in Turkey Breast (kirkland) for $1.59/lb. I think those are very fair prices. I planned on filling my freezer with both.. but neither were in my store. There are a couple of other Aldis within easy driving distance...and you cant call the...

    New 'muck' boot review.

    I needed a new pair of boots for outdoors.. something easy to get on and off, kept my feet dry and warm.. and didnt feel like 30lb frankenstein boots. I also didnt want a pair of $20 cheapos that lasted a month and hurt my feet. I also did not want to pay $200 for a pair of boots bought online...

    2012 Ford Fusion- 2 year review

    I always try to keep a 30mpg car for a daily driver and commuter. After owning a Honda Fit for 2 years i just couldnt deal with all the shortcomings and sacrifices it took to maintain 32mpg. Small/noisy/lack of power/strange tire size/small brakes etc etc. I liked the 2012 Ford Fusion because...

    I listen to talk radio while im driving and i hear alot of ads on ruffgreens and dinovite etc. I love my dogs but i just cant wrap my head around much of anything that makes sense in the dog food world. If my dogs were allowed to be themselves without my help, i think they would hunt small...

    Do you ever see 80s or 90s American cars on the road?

    I saw 2 this week worth mentioning. A late 1980s Monte Carlo SS driven by a guy in his 50s with the T-Top open driving thru town. Theres no way this guy didnt think that the car was a chick magnet. She looked waxed and the the white letter tires were armor alled. I would bet the farm that...

    Basic used pickup?
