  1. Seriously, how many times are they going to say how much Derrick Henry weighs?

    CR Stock Watch

    I'm just sitting here watching CMI stock like "I just want to build my shop"
  3. I got the Belkin blue tooth adapter, (which was hardwired in via 3.5mm jack) and it was absolutely terrible. Returned them.

    Get ready to buy at the bottom!
  5. Man, seems like an old car for someone that has a lawyer and accountant on retainer.
  6. Cheerleaders. Ribbon Dancers.
  7. I agree with this. I really <3 my truck, and I would consider it a nice one even though its an 04. I love the space, I love being able to tow. etc etc. but I had to have my car (civic) in the shop for a week and I was so excited to get back into it. I know its not a speed machine but its just nice to drive something that is 'nimble'. The truck has nothing nimble about it. I was ready to get my DD back even though I really love the truck. Look in Texas, get a clean truck with some yrs on it for cheap, no rust. forgedaboutit Oh and with that long of a commute you'll really hate it once the fuel price goes back up. Then everyone will be trying to offload their truck and yours will be tough to sell. Please explain.
  8. look at sunbelt or grand rental station, somewhere like that. They rent trailers much cheaper than uhaul in past experience.
  9. I used to bitch about cable internet. Then I got satellite.
  10. I leave it on the curb or I take it to Advance Auto. Those guys tell me they buy pizza for the crew there with what they take in. So I just drop it of tell them its for the Pizza fund, they take care of me always.
  11. I don't really care about NFL. I understand why people hate the patriots but regardless of cheating Tom Brady is a great player, and the patriots always come ready to play. I think as a completely non-caring observer. a) 1.5 psi is not going to make a huge difference. The colts got trolled, even after the balls were corrected at halftime. b) Passing judgement that he should have felt the difference is a bit ridiculous IMO. c) This whole 'ermagherd punish them because they are role models'. People that play sports should never be role models. d) Again they are making huge assumptions with little to no proof. Slap them with a fine for improper 'quality control', but in the end this whole deflate the ball for an advantage (if it was truly intentional) shows they are cheaters and they can't do it anymore. Getting exposed is 75% of the punishment.

    Direct tv?

    If you do get direct TV I can give you my referral number and we each get $100 off our bill over 10 months. FYI.
  13. not sure where you guys are getting that Walmart is expensive but its $5 a tire for removing and putting on a new tire. (not including balancing or valve stem) straight did my trailer tires for $20
  14. Did not put a filter back on the end. AT least not till I get this figured out. There are adjustment screws but they require some special tool crap. Yeah should be right mix. 40:1
  15. Hey dudes, I'm a bit out of my element in 2-stroke small engines. My week wacker has been running pretty craptactulary for a while now. Last time I ran it end of the season last year I could barely keep it running. Started tearing into it a few weeks ago. Found some cracked fuel lines. So I thought I was all good. Replaced the lines. No fix. Tried Cleaning the carb out. No fix. Then i actually replaced the carb with one from ebay for $13. No Fix. The symptom it has now is I can start it 'ok'. It will run on the choke. I can even throttle on choke. But as soon as I take the choke off does not want to run. Heck i'll even have the throttle pegged with the choke on...then i'll flip the choke off while still holding the throttle pegged and it'll rev up for like a second then die completely. I did clean the contacts off on the spark plug with some sandpaper. Just to see if that was an issue. I don't want to buy a new one and keep putting money into it and end up getting a new one. Any thoughts?
  16. Not trying to say the dude wasn't wrong. But doesn't look like the car he turned into made any effort at an evasive maneuver. Seemed to have had a good chance a reacting and turning away to avoid it. Thoughts?
  17. Yeah I use a gorilla tongue lock, I also have a pin lock on it. I also plan to run a chain through the spokes between 2 wheels. Maybe even back to one of the trees. Not guaranteed but makes it harder. Also make note when you are hauling your trailer make sure to get a lock for the receiver pin. And to further my OCD, use a receiver that the ball is welded on (like the 3 ways). I needed a small drop hitch so I ended up using a regular thread on ball but I welded a big washer at the bottom of the threads. If not they could just pop the ball off and make way with your trailer and everything you have on it.
  18. for future reference, if you have room a nut splitter may have helped here.
  19. Natural History Museum and British Museum are two different things.
  20. Leave your passport at the hotel or whatever and just carry your driver's license and a photocopy of your passport. That way you can still get home if your wallet gets ganked.
  21. I just had a whole long thing typed out and my computer locked up. Sucks. So now you get the lame version. Food is going to suck and be expensive, be ready. The exception is a chicken parmesan in a little place about 5 hrs from London. Learn the Subway system its the fastest most cost effective way around. Surprised no one has mentioned Westminster Abby, St Paul's cathedral, London Eye (big ferris wheel) or the Natural History museum. In my opinion...must sees. For the love of god avoid the Tate Museum of modern art. Its all garbage. I have a spreadsheet of the stuff we did in 3 days with hours, price, location. We tried to locate the sites near by to save on travel time. We blitzed london. Our feet were so completely destroyed. Having done the tower of london last bring me nightmares of walking on cobblestone with destroyed feet. My work kept me focused in the North East of the country. So I checked out Whitby, Scarborough, Edinburgh, Holy Island, etc. One place I regret not going to was Isle of Skye, but its way up there. Skip the lake district, we have better stuff here. Don't bother with exchange houses. Just bring your ATM card and get cash. You'll know its legit and you don't lose anything to conversion, just the ATM fee. If your wife is a Harry Potter fan and you are in the Northeast, Alnwick castle is a must see. York is a good place for a full day of activity (see: york minster and train museum). Edinburgh was good fun. http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Fred%20Miranda%20Forum%20Entries/Berto%20Photography/UK%20Goodness/DSC_0697_edited-1.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Fred%20Miranda%20Forum%20Entries/Berto%20Photography/UK%20Goodness/DSC_0790_edited-1.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Fred%20Miranda%20Forum%20Entries/Berto%20Photography/UK%20Goodness/DSC_9695_edited-2.jpg http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Fred%20Miranda%20Forum%20Entries/Berto%20Photography/UK%20Goodness/DSC_0947_edited-1.jpg
  22. As previously said, they are probably completely clueless they are doing it. Talk to 'em let them know. Another good temporary solution may be to put up the flexible fiberglass poles plowers used to mark off parking lots. Stick them in just inside the curb. They may smash them but at least its a visual deterrent. These would be good to put up when you plant new grass to show what you're doing.
  23. I was thinking wood filler but didn't know if that'd be Ghetto. I'll work on that and paint them. Hopefully the paint deters other bugs. I know carpenter bees usually don't care what's on the wood, they'll eat through it. Yeah it's just a small roof, no second story.
  24. Came home the other day and saw pieces of wood all over the snow. Had a few holes where I had repaired some carpenter bee holes in the columns of my front porch. I had sprayed killer foam in there then sealed it up with caulk and then a wood plug. Looks like the larvae were still in there because this woodpecker went nuts. after the first day I saw it i thought he was done but I was wrong went to town again yesterday. What are my options for repair here? or am I looking a column replacement? http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c192/BertoBizkit/Miscelaneous/20150303_175119.jpg
