  1. here's the part I don't understand, My CAR has Adaptive Cruise Control, plus Collision Avoidance systems where my car will automatically apply the break if I don't, it will automatically correct me if I start veering off the road, etc... WHY AREN'T SEMI TRUCKS REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS??? My car is 6 years old and does this and it works flawlessly... simple things like this as well as that guy staying off his damn phone could have possibly saved this families life as well as my counsin's (on my wife's side) who was hit by a semi truck driver when he fell asleep behind the wheel and drove off the road and struck my cousin while he was operating heavy machinery on 71 north bound. We have all this technology yet it's not required to be used.
  2. send me your contact info and I will pass it on to my mother. She live in Pataskala.
  3. The reviews that I read on lowes site I never experienced from my end. I just didn't like it making the GFCI breaker pop. Anyone not using a GFCI breaker should be fine. In all honestly, I look at it as insurance in case your power goes out, you have something that can pump water out and alert you of a power outage. Most of the negative reviews people either didn't install it right and got air lock, or complained that the backup pump wasn't super strong... ummm it's a backup just in case your power goes out, it's not going to be as strong as the normal pump, but it served me faithfully
  4. No, this one... http://www.lowes.com/pd/Basement-Watchdog-0-33-HP-Plastic-Submersible-Sump-Pump/1164273 it's the dual pump setup. Only thing needed is a battery. It comes with everything else besides some pipe fittings if you need to adjust your pipes.
  5. BullyDog backup sump pump. Works fine if plugged into a normal outlet, if plugged into a GFCI outlet, it will pop the outlet breaker. less than a year old - $100
  6. I would have to say that they would considering it's only a couple months old. I will try to get more specifics for you.
  7. Ashley Furniture electric dual reclining couch - $500 OBO - SOLD Less than 3 months old. My mother purchased it for her new house and then it wouldn't fit through the basement doorway. She paid over $800 for it 3 months ago http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/imagejpeg_1_zps47tozpko.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/imagejpeg_2_zpsoaaez05r.jpg Barbie Electric car - $50 it's a 6 volt car, my daughter out grew it.... http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/20160628_213542_zpsurlxoubb.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/20160628_213535_zpsep7c4j8b.jpg Go Kart - $250 OBO fits my fat ass just fine... it's a little dirty but it starts and runs just fine. It's a blast to ride on. I've taken it through the grass many times. I'm just fat so it's not as fun as it once was but I can still fit on it and drive it. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/20160628_201153_zpsdz4sc4dt.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/20160628_201146_zpskp7qvd1v.jpg Schwinn Bike - SOLD It's been very rarely used, my mom thought she would ride it and has bad balance so she bought the adult equivalent of a bike with training wheels and it's just sat.http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/mom1_zpsh20qimuf.jpg Dual black leather headrests with DVD players in them - $100 http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/headrest3_zps60dhca4c.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/headrest2_zpsxou0m53e.jpg http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/headrest_zpswhqhjkgx.jpg I had them in my maxima, but never installed them when I bought my SHO.

  8. I take all my exhaust work to Mad Hatter... I get they aren't an approved vendor here, but have done excellent work and are way better priced than anyone else.

    wouldn't that be some shit if she marries him? Although, it's not unheard of for royalty to marry their blood back in old times.

    I can't get over how many characters they killed off last night... I would say that it was a good episode... I couldn't help but yell, "Get it girl!" when Cerci started to torture that "shame" bitch... bitch had it coming.
  15. Not a viable option as important stuff is used all the time and the randomness of the issue... we have already unplugged everything that we can. Remember my entire house is electric and it's not easy to leave fridges, stoves, etc... just unplugged... and remember these are high ticket items.
  16. so 2 days of raining and not a single flicker or anything out of the ordinary... They replaced the transformer earlier this week, so I have no way of knowing if the transformer was the actual problem. Now the question is, do I remove the neutral wire and see if it happens again or just bite the bullet and get it dug out now.

    I read an article that they didn't have the budget for him and the giant, so it was up to either having Ghost or the giant and they chose the giant.... there's no hidden plot twist, it just came down to budget and time.
  18. it's actually leaning more towards the transformer was overheating... Voltage Recorder was showing that we were pulling significantly more voltage than the 15kw transformer that I had could handle. They installed a new one 25kw transformer yesterday and no more flickering lights. It's supposed to rain pretty good tonight, so I guess we'll see how that turns out... might not want to toot your horn just yet :-)
  19. duck tour is fun, freedom trail, Also, go visit cheers... their nacho's are freaking awesome!
  20. Electric company came out today and replaced my transformer. Said that the Voltage Recorder showed that I was pulling more power than the transformer could handle. We haven't had an breaker pops or electrical "burn-ups" since putting the neutral wire in, BUT we had had some light "brown out" type of scenarios a few times in the past few days... We also haven't had any rain either though so I'm not really sure if it's the neutral wire or if it's both or what's really going on.
  21. I have a 20volt brushless DeWalt impact and honestly, I don't like it as much... it just spins too fast and strips a lot of screws... believe it or not, my 20volt black and decker impact is the best impact that I've had.
  22. just gonna leave this here.... a good watch..
  23. http://www.criminaljusticedegreehub.com/violent-crime-us-abroad/ read towards the bottom of the article.... or just do a quick google search... people argue both ways... mostly saying that the definition of violent crimes are defined differently in the UK than the US, but one thing is made blindingly obvious... people still find ways to hurt people regardless of what tool they have.... Time to stop blaming the tool. How about people who are on the FBI watch list, don't allow them to purchase a firearm.. that's something I can get behind. What I cannot and will not get behind is taking that right away from the 99.99999999999999999999999999999% of people who would use a firearm properly and should be allowed to purchase a tank if they want to as long as they are found to be mentally sound, a US citizen, and NOT ON AN FBI WATCH LIST. Seems pretty simple to me
  24. Still waiting on it to rain... we've had a little sprinkle but that's about it. Electric has seemed to work fine since running the neutral wire, but without a good rain we don't know if this solves the problem or if there's another issue going on.
