Don't dehydrate yourself whatever you do as you cut back. Stay hydrated above all else, even if it isn't super convenient. "Can't drink when I'm not thirsty" is a nuts, get serious... You don't want a kidney stone, trust me.

Through 09 at least the SRX is not the same as the Acadia/Traverse/Enclave and Satun Outlook... Different chassis altogether, and the Saturn Aura is 4 door midsize car. SRX up to 09 were RWD or AWD, and rode on a version of the CTS/STS platform.

Out of those 3 I would go with the Jayco, as the other 2 are not very well known or standout makers. For a starter camper though, any would likely be fine. Out of all the campers we had growing up, the Jaycos always seemed to be the best in terms of quality/ durability. Parents seemed to get a new one every few years. Generally they upgraded every time though, not because of issues or being dissatisfied. They are currently considering upgrading from their 33' tow behind Jayco to a 35'+ fifth wheel. Not having at least one slide will be noticeable though, and I don't think any of those 3 have them. The older you go the less common slides will be and this will be especially true of the lighter weight models. For a unit without slides, be mindful of the number and size of windows, as they really do help the camper feel less tight and cramped. Everybody says "we will be camping we won't be inside that much", but there are always rainy days when you will appreciate being able to hang out inside and not feel like you're super confined. When checking out any camper, have the owner/ dealer open up the awning for you to prove that its in good working condition. They are easily broken if you're not clear on how they operate, and they are not cheap to replace. Also critical to enjoying hot summer days with family without cooking . Good luck!

I've been told before that the glass you're using and the sensor in your camera are the limiting factors beyond everything else.

True. Perhaps tylenol for a week, instead of more caffeine.

My Grandpa did plaster/stucco for 30 years, and he was very impressed with the work these guys did on some recent work for my parents: http://www.jvpstucco.com/

REALLY sucks man. In terms of Corvette structure, how likely is that to be repairable? Also wanted to add, my dad was rear ended in his Accord this past Tuesday, also with an open coffee. He says the coffee stains EVERYWHERE are way worse than the rear bumper lol.

Don't have a used, and I'm not sure the fence itself is very "removable". Collars obviously could be. If you end up having one installed, go with DogWatch, not invisible fence. Dogwatch is way cheaper, and the system is identical. I also know the guy who reps DogWatch in Columbus, and he will take care of you and ensure that your dog is trained, understands the boundaries, etc. Good people to work with.

Sold tonight! Will it was nice to meet you, thanks. Mods can lock/delete

I use "euro" style methods, as they are a popular game fish over there, THE most popular in fact. My general method is a flavored rubber/foam bait ( cut about the size of a corn kernal ) or even actual corn, though canned whole corn does not stay on very well. The key is to use a "hair rig" and small hooks, believe it or not. I also chum, or at the very least pack a chum-type mix around my sinker, so it breaks down on the bottom, creating an attractant pile. Chum usually consists of a grain/fiber and a flavor of some kind, mixed in ratios that allow it to pack, but break down in the water..... It almost gets to be a damn science lol.

I'd be very interested, thanks for the invite.

I've always been a big shore fisherman, but this past winter I got a fishing kayak. I've not even had it on the water yet, but I'm hoping to get more into that this year. I'm planning to hit up Griggs, Hoover, and some of the coves at Buckeye and Alum. It's still a ways out, but I'll be interested in how the river ends up after the "Scioto Greenways" project too. Removing the low-head dams will narrow the river (which is already obvious), but will increase flow, and I understand they are creating deeper pools in several areas that should eventually become good habitat. In the meantime, I still really enjoy carp fishing from shore and have spent a lot of time on that over the past few years. There are several group fishing events scheduled all over Ohio for weekends starting in April, and going through October for anybody who might want to check it out. Everybody thinks you're a dumbass when talk about carp fishing, but they are a TON of fun. Unless you're eating what you catch, the fight is what it's all about anyway right? For example: Decent common carp (cowan lake) http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Fishing/DSCF2881.jpg Smaller grass carp (ohio river) http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Fishing/DSC_0531.jpg Large Common carp (40lb 10oz) - caught inside 270 - biggest I've personally seen out of Ohio http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/DSC_0100-1.jpg

Buelligan has dibs right now. If he changes his mind I'll follow up with everybody else who's interested.

I could probably do that. PM inbound sir.

It is an acorn lug, yes, so a tapered base facing the hub. If i recall all ram 2500/3500 axles are lug centric, even your old dana. And my studs are 9/16-18 that's true.

Will I'm assuming you want it all, tires too? If not Steve we can figure something out.

They are 8 lug, forged, and manufactured by Alcoa. They are a 17 x 8 wheel, and are a direct fit on 2500-3500 Dodge Ram Trucks from 2003-2014, and I think even the older cummins trucks but I'm not 100% sure. You don't see these wheels very often, and being forged Alcoas, they are somewhat highly sought after. I bought these a while back from a guy out of Utah, and I've noticed that the clearcoat on one of the 4 is different. They all 4 clean up the same and look identical, but without a coat of wax or sealant the one wheel waterspots quicker and just generally gets dirty more quickly. Full disclosure, just being honest. Never really bothered me I just keep them clean. Only reason I'm selling is because I jumped on a deal for 2014 factory 18s + tires. Tires are two matching pairs of E-rated 245/70/17 (standard 2wd 3/4 ton size). Two are the original Michelins (52k), and two are BFGoodrich (~40k). Tires are in good shape, with good even wear and a lot of tread left, and two are original to my 2007 truck. I'd do $400 for just wheels, or $500 for wheels + tires. I need them gone, and would prefer not to seperate. Center caps included, and I can provide lugnuts if necessary. I'll even deliver inside/near 270. Thanks

I feel like matching faded 25 year old paint isn't super basic. Also, race car, as noted above.

This in most cases does not make a difference.... so many guys say this.

Surefire has a lifetime warranty on their lights right? I only have one surefire light myself, and quite a few other "midrange" lights, no experience with Nebo stuff though. The one thing you want out of a gun mount light is the ability to take recoil. Dual springs are almost a requirement, otherwise the battery acts as a damaging piston inside the light and will fail. II guess if they're cheap enough who cares though.

That sounds pricey, but sure. I'll ask because I'm honestly interested in what a home might cost. Don't buy the lowes or home depot brand. Buy Philips or Cree, and maybe sylvania though they don't have a ton of LED stuff yet. The utilitech and hdx stuff is generally junk. Feit electric anything I've bought tends to be junk. Leds are longer lasting, dimmable (all the new ones are) and are instant-on full brightness (no warmup time). They are also much more durable than CFL's, and are capable of producing a nearly infinite range of color temperatures (warm to cool white). People frequently bitch about non-incandescent bulbs because the color bugs them or it isn't as pleasant.

I work for a large company that does large commercial building controls. We have the capability to control/monitor about any device really. We have our own "energy solutions" division that will evaluate the energy use of a particular site, propose a plan to save energy through operational changes and some equipment improvements, and then guarantee those savings and ROI over several years following project completion. Cool thing is, if those guarantees fall short, the customer gets a check. As part of these projects it's becoming increasingly popular to "sub-meter" individual buildings, tenants, pieces of equipment, etc. over recent years to see what is actually using what. It's pretty common to totalize all the data and output summaries to a person in charge daily/weekly/monthly/whatever. Some customers will actually ask that we display this data live in their lobbies, or near the front desk or something to help people better relate to their personal consumption. I also see more and more cracking down on old ladies with a fan, a space heater, and 3 desk lamps in their cubicle. As for residential, I saw LED bulbs mentioned somewhere above, and I've had great luck with the CREE led bulbs sold through home depot. They come in an incandescent identical "warm white", and a purer white but not blue "daylight" color temperature. So far they are only available up to 60w incandescent standard I think, and 65w incandescent flood. Go get some

Just to avoid confusion, I don't believe any post 2007 U.S.- sold diesel vehicle will not easily run on biodiesel, at least not with the emissions intact.
