  1. Just go through the accessories isle at Autozone and buy one of everything! I want to see the movie on the big screen again but the parking lot should be an interesting show.
  2. Milwaukee M18 seems to be the one to get from what I've heard. I'm still using old fashioned air.
  3. Doc is also planning to go in his Figaro, I'm sure we'll have all kinds of fun stories from this one!
  4. In a few weeks I'll be participating in the 2016 Big Sky Rally with Rally North America. This year the rally begins in Billings, MT and after five full days of navigating our way through the mountains ends up in Portland, OR. This year we are raising donations for Camp Sunshine, a camp that give children with life threatening diseases and their families an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors together. There is no cost to the families, all the costs are covered by donations through organizations like Rally North America. Any donations go directly to them and are tax deductible, we cover our own expenses. If you've read enough then Donate Now otherwise keep reading! Our Team: Team Impractical is a husband and wife team based out of Circleville, OH. The Big Sky Rally will be our 4th with Rally North America. In addition to the 1200 or so miles we'll cover during the rally our trip from Ohio and back will be 6300+ miles. About Rally North America: Rally North America is a scavenger hunt style (automotive) multi-state road rally event. The Rally North America is a not-for-profit organization and its events have generated over $500,000 for charity. Established in the winter of 2009 Rally North America is aimed at bringing automotive enthusiasts from all over the United States and Canada, together for the purpose of Auto rallying. Each rally organized by Rally North America carries a common idea, driving for a cause. Rally North America believes that by combining the love of the automotive lifestyle and a worthy charity organization, it is possible to do something “good” through the automotive hobby. About Camp Sunshine: We inspire hope in families affected by life-threatening childhood illness through our unique, supportive program at our beautiful campus on Maine’s Sebago Lake. When a child faces serious illness, the entire family is impacted. Camp Sunshine’s mission is to provide respite and support to each family member - children, siblings, and parents. Since its inception, Camp Sunshine has offered comfort, hope, and support to over 43,500 individuals from 48 states and 23 countries. Camp Sunshine is currently the only full-time facility in the nation whose sole purpose is to provide respite for the whole family. The families who come to Camp Sunshine have children diagnosed with cancer, hematologic conditions, renal disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and who have undergone solid organ transplantation. They attend illness-specific sessions of varying lengths where they have the opportunity to solidify and renew their relationships while meeting others facing similar challenges. Bereavement programming is also provided for families who have lost a child to the illnesses served at Camp. Recreational activities allow children and adults to relax and enjoy the simplicity and beauty of life along the pristine shores of Sebago Lake. Games and other events foster family involvement, encouraging joy and laughter. While at Camp Sunshine, each family stays in their own suite, equipped with two twin beds, bunk beds, a futon, full bathroom, microwave oven, and refrigerator. Mealtimes in our dining room are occasions for socializing and unwinding. The Camp Sunshine Program is free! All families are sponsored by generous individuals, civic groups, corporations, and foundations. (such as Rally North America) Donate: Help us send more kids with serious health issues and their families to camp Sunshine! We pay all of our own expenses. All donations go directly to Camp Sunshine and are tax deductible! Donations of any amount are welcome! Clicking the link below will take you to our team page on Camp Sunshine's website.

  5. I love when people assume that the NRA is funded by the gun manufacturers. We are talking about US based manufacturing of precision machined parts. Not exactly a combo that is raking in the dough hand over fist these days. Not to mention that there is a 10% excise tax on sales of completed firearms. The NRA has millions of PAYING members that all pony up at least $20 a year. Not to mention the fund raisers and donations they get from their own group of wealthy individuals.
  6. http://www.ohionsp.org/programs/oec This is the program I went though when I was on Ski Patrol. I know we had other people in our class that were not patrollers. It's pretty much the EMT-B course with a focus on emergencies that happen during outdoor recreation.
  7. Need a spot in the desert that you can do a 100 car wide drag race. Line up one from every year of each with the newest in the middle and each model descending to the left or right. Snap a pic from the air when the first car gets to the 1/4 mile. Then you'll have a really cool bar chart.
  8. If you ask my wife the story of the first time we met she will tell you about how she was impressed I managed to back my truck into a small space in one shot. So I back in because it gets chicks...
  9. Call the electric company back and have them come today. If the problem is on their side either they will waive the fee or you'll be making an insurance claim anyhow. Insurance should pay out for that fee since it will mitigate any further damage.

    Cc&c 6/4

    That's the other group. Always 9am at the Lennox, every week.
  11. I'm stuck with on call, at least I got a rainy weekend.
  12. I recognize that from The Wilds. We went on a tour where they fed those wild dogs, I would not want to fall in their pen.
  13. There were a couple funny moments but the show seemed like it was two hours long. Chris Evens was pretty much horrible at both in car and in the studio. Maybe they'll get it together in a couple seasons if they can last that long.
  14. The child stated his intentions enough that other people overheard it. Then he carried through. If he stated he was going to stick a fork in a light socket and his mother turned her back and left him with fork in hand then he electrocuted himself would we not blame her? I may not have kids but I know my 3.5yo nephew well enough that if he said he wanted to climb in with the gorillas I'd have him at 100% attention until we were well away from them.
  15. I've done a couple cars in the past. Side windows are not too bad, rear windows are the PITA. I'd prefer to pay someone since it's so cheap to have it done anymore
  16. Too soon junior! Here is a direct link to buy the tickets: http://www.fandango.com/amclennoxtowncenter24_aackf/theaterpage?date=6%2f22%2f2016
  17. It shows the point at which the human eye can no longer perceive an increase in resolution. It's not so much a "buying" guide as a "not over buying" guide.
  18. Mostly depends on the distance you are sitting from the TV if 4K will matter or not really: http://www.avsforum.com/content/type/61/id/41412/width/600/height/376
  19. It's hard to build one cheaper yourself anymore once you buy a copy of Windows. You are cheating yourself though if you don't plan for a Solid State Drive in your new system.
  20. The real question is what happened to break that? Dukes of Hazard jump?
  21. Yeah so the supercharged vert deal would probably be a little under $50k.
  22. Not going to make it under 40K with a vert even doing the install yourself. Dat vert tax...
  23. Dead people aren't reliable witnesses.
  24. You do look like an axe murderer...
