I didn't see it either until I tilted the LCD. That's kinda weird.

Never even got the boat in the water, all the boat launches were filled. At least we have the grill to play with.

Got the boat hooked to the truck and will be leaving as soon as the wife gets the cooler filled. Grilling when we get home.

New Orleans is below sea level. It doesn't seem logical to build a city below sea level. It should be filled with water and turned into a water park.

I can speak personally on foreclosures but I’ve never been through one myself. A very good friend kept refinancing his house to buy things he really didn’t need. I’m not going to tell anyone how to live but really, who needs three new Harley Davisons when the house is in dire need of repairs. He got so far in the hole and couldn’t pay the bills. Now he has no house and no motorcycles. Person across the street lost his house. Even when he and his wife were having trouble with the bills they still went out and bought a new Jeep and a Lexus. What’s more important, what you drive or having a home? I’ve always drove 100 dollar beaters as daily drivers up until last year. Bought a new SUV for the wife and I took her Altima the day after she drove it into the back of a cube van. Drove cheap cars and paid heavy on my house loan. I’m down to just 6 thousand on a 12 year old house. If I can do it I’m sure anyone can. Do you think the government should bail out these people about to lose their home? I don’t. People have to start taking responsibility for their own actions and not rely on the government. Buying a new house is a huge responsibility. Why on Earth would someone buy new cars or motorcycles when they can’t pay rent?

Opps, sorry. Got John and Mitt mixed up there for a second. Being from Taxachusetts I should know better. Guess it was too early in the morning.

This is good for a laugh or two. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YUTdsU3f2U

Here's a couple pictures of Mitt.

I've got a tough problem. Does anyone know how to remove masking tape that's been on the exterior of aluminum windows for a few years? I've tried Goof Off but that will not even make a dent in it. Any ideas out there?

My brother is a fireman in our city as are many of my friends. They just love to blast the truck's horns when the go past my house at 3:00am Jerks! :)

You made the right move Beth. The doctor can't do anything with a broken toe except tape it to the next toe. My wife was talking to her father via internet video thing. He's a doctor in Bulgaria and told us there's nothing that can be done. I thought he might tell his daughter that I had to lay on the couch for several weeks while she waits on my every order. Wishful thinking I guess.

Yeah Jason, those chemical burns are nasty. You're right about HD 80. Works great on removing stain. paint, and skin.

Hugh, don’t what to say except our prayer are with her. My wife’s mother went through a similar experience at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor accident. No Joke. We still keep her in our prayers.

Got up in the morning and felt that warm squishing feeling between my toes. Yup, the little dog left something for me on the floor. Being angry and disgusted I tried to limp my way to the downstairs’ bathroom to wash off my foot. While trying to do that I slammed my left foot into the door jam breaking my left toe and putting me out of work a few days.

I was using a backpack chemical sprayer to remove a stubborn stain on a house when the tip became clogged. I removed the tip and thought I’d just run some water through it from the powerwasher’s gun. The washer was off but I had forgotten to release the pressure from it. When I pulled the trigger to let the water gently flow through the tip of the chemical sprayer, well, you know what happened. Blew a hole right through my finger. Top of the finger was just gone. I could see the sun through my finger tip. The top of the finger grew back but still, 10 years later, I have no feeling at the tip or the left side of my index finger.

Or death.

Well, I thiught it was funny. Guess I'm a little simple :)

Finally, my favorite.

This one's got a great point too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzFOOcEQtP0

Aside from the awful singing, what's wrong with this video.

Is your home okay?

Interesting article Reminds me of my wife telling me what it was like going to school in a Communist country (Bulgaria). One of her required courses in school was target shooting. Yup, real guns and real bullets. She was one of the top shooters in her class.

Justice When I first moved to a dirtbag town in Ohio (Stenbenville) for collage I rented the first floor of a duplex. Several times I was broken into. The intruder always cane into the same window about three feet off the ground of a side window. I used a hot glue gun and glued double edged razor blades on the underside of the interior window sill. The next time the thief opened the window and used the sill to pull himself up into my house he had a serious problem. There was a finger tip on my carpet. Never once did I have a problem after that. That was justice. These days I'd probally get sued for that by the ACLU.

Later tonight I'll tell you how I blew a hole through my index finger with a powerwasher, if I can stay awake that long. Racles Flat concert tonight.

I’m glad I could be your entertainment center this morning J. I’ll have to type out the air conditioner story tonight. Brent, the car is my British Spitfire. Lots of fun to drive and a trophy or two at the car shows. The company has been out of business for quite a while and the car is 33 years old. I bought it 9 years ago as a total basket case and spent 2 years restoring it and I truly don’t want to know how much money was spent. Getting to your destination is not always guaranteed. Two days ago it stranded my a few miles from home but it was an easy fix, just a clogged fuel filter. It does like mechanical attention, usually minor tinkering.
