I recall reading that somehow Zappa became very popular in Communist Czechoslovakia. They worked hard to smuggle his music into the Eastern Bloc. Vaclav Havel invited Zappa to visit Praque in 1990.
Thank you for the reference.
Yeah, the smog engines were pretty bad. They took very good V8 engines and choked them with low compression, EGR valves, retarded valve timing and restrictive...
As I said, it forced people to pay a lot more money for their vehicles. The higher sale price also forces people to pay more sales tax, more registration fees and higher insurance premiums. That's a...
I often hear people who are against government requirements say we should let the free market implement new technologies as it always has. But that's a fallacy. I can think of several things we have...
I was under the impression jewelry markup is more like 1000%. But's that's a unique situation. Only recently is the worldwide De Beers diamond cartel starting to lose their grip.
As for wood, I...
Seems to me the landscaping industry will simply have to adapt. When we complain the current battery technology won't work, what we're saying is it won't work for the current way we plant and...
There is endless drama surrounding fences between houses. When I lived in Virginia, my next door neighbor had an older, wooden picket fence which was built on his side of the property line. The owner...
Saw that movie at the drive-in with my family. My dad was a desert racer in SoCal back then and he was familiar with some of the people in the movie. I remember seeing Malcom Smith's motorcycle shop...
That makes sense. Thanks.
Interestingly, back in 2008 it seemed like everyone swore by Timberwolf. Seems the perceptions have changed.
Great idea!
Thanks. Yeah, the Resaw King looks way cool, but I just bought an outdoor pizza oven and can't spend $200 right now. Although, if it's a really good blade, I think it would be worthwhile. (Everyone...
Bike looked like this, but mine was blue.
I had a Monkey Ward's bicycle with a banana seat and "Mickey Mouse" handlebars. My brother and I used to make jumps and play Evel Knievel. We would also ride our bikes off the loading ramps at the...
"Summer lovin', had me bla-ast!"
Great, thanks for the ear worm...
This has been my experience as well. Pawn shops, flea markets, Craigslist, FB Marketplace: Lots of people selling used stuff at full retail prices. Still don't understand it.
Thanks. I will check it out.
Does the "3" mean 3 TPI?
Welcome, Chris!
Your Grizzly is what's known as a "Contractor Saw". It's a good starter saw which should serve you well. I used a Craftsman Contractor Saw for many years. Recently I upgraded to a...
Back in 2008 I bought a Grizzly G0513X2 band saw. (Bear Head wheels!) Shortly thereafter I ordered a resaw blade from Timberwolf. Then my power tools were put away for about 8 years while I restored...
The stereotype is only men over 80 use cherry. I actually like it. It works really well for shadow boxes.
Well, sure cherry is now expensive. The only "inexpensive" wood I've seen lately is...
Very good advice. Most any vet who was on active duty and received an honerable discharge can get VA health care. Of course, as Patty pointed out, the level of care varies greatly.
OK, major misunderstanding on my part. Again, so sorry. I assumed my Dad's hearing aids were free because for years he refused to pay money to buy them. Anyway...
- Yes, my dad has a Medicare...
I'm sorry for suggesting something bogus. I'm not on Medicare and I don't know the details. I do know my Dad is on Medicare and he recently got hearing aids. I will talk with him tonight and get the...
Major bummer. I'm sorry your local VA is so awful.
