A general rule of thumb.....Plug in the items with the greatest starting wattage first. Then plug in the next greedy device. You need to have enough power available to start #2 or #3 without going over the max surge watts. At some point you will find there isn't enough available power to start anoth...

Tector, My first thought is that this rates right up there with running a generator in the garage. Just not a good idea. NONETHELESS, there is a certain curiosity and a certain attractiveness to the idea. Without seeing it, I would guess the atrium is close to 8X8 or maybe 6X6. The question is how a...

Science, whatever that is, is messy. The search for "truth" should not be confused with the constant challenge of what is known. DaVinci, when he wasn't painting the Mona Lisa, considered the possibilities of flight. The development of the internal combustion engine made it possible a coup...

Simple truth is that if you really like the jeep and the body is in good shape a remanufactured tranny is cheap compared to a replacement vehicle. Even if the cost of repair is close to the possible retail value of the vehicle, you know what you have. The thought that xyz repair is too much doesn't ...

Silly me, I should know better but I had just walked out of a Publix after buying a measuring bowl. Somehow the connection between knives on display in Publix and the realities of the law escaped me for a second. There is a sort of innocence in seeing frying pans, bowls and knives all together. But,...

Just read the article about a family suing Publix because they sold a kitchen knife to a 17 year old who used it as a weapon. Let's see now. If we sue every sports store that ever sold a Louisville slugger that was used to hit someone are they also guilty of selling deadly weapons? I always thought ...

Oh my gosh. Went away for a spell and look what happens. So, by now you are home. Hope not too uncomfortable. take care....good luck...we need the resident curmudgeon.

I dragged out the old lead sled and went to the range yesterday to sight in a scoped model 37 Ithaca with a rifled barrel. I was real pleased to get to the point that rounds actually touched at 50 yards. Then I lifted it out and fired by holding it as if in a field position and just resting my hand ...

Rifled choke tubes work just fine with sabots. Truthfully there is not a lot of advantage if using sluggers. Actually it has been my experience that the soft lead will tend to "clog" the rifling, especially in fully rifled barrels. It is a chore to scrub the barrel after you put a bunch of...

Renewed CWP. It was amazingly fast and easy. I was reluctant to trust the mail or the electronic world to put this in place and then wait days or weeks to see if everything is OK or did I forget to cross a "T". I went in person in Broward County. I don't think the entire thing took but twe...
