I saw you thinking about how to boat that whale!

I don’t even know where is best to post this lately but after the SC leak and its impending inevitable aftermath, ongoing voter disenfranchisement,...

New installment of "What's Steve been fishing for?" - Garro.

$35/day from Home Depot..I call it the “more time for bike riding” power washer, as these things are awesome. You do need a 3,000+ psi power washer...

Just going for a bike ride in Ukraine...

looks like the kind of thing I would make. Andy

I live 10 miles north of the clock tower.

What time was showing on the clock tower?

Seen on my way to Starbucks this morning.

Hmm, the vertical run would go through 2-3' of unheated attic before the roof. Going horizontal would keep it heated right to the exterior wall.

Scoping out olive orchards in Florence Italy.

The current crop of adult bees start dying off in July. We'll see a bee flying around like it is drunk and "bumbling" into flowers and falling over...

Onward ! - Garro.

Very docile, the males are aggressive in flight but I don’t think they can even sting. They’ll knock one another to the ground and it’s funny to...

What Jorn said. And due to the softness, they really love cedar. Years ago, I lived in a home with huge cedar columns. They flanked the front pouch...

Those are most likely carpenter bees. Depending on how far they are from your house, they are more likely to be boring nest tunnels into your house...

OK, if that's the case where are the romantic interests? I only see the bees in front of the trees unless the ones I can see are interested in the...

It’s a mating ritual and not unique to bees. A lot of guys here on this forum also spend a lot of energy with no obvious return….

Shortest distance, least temperature contrast if you can make it work unless with horizontal the push is such that it is in there without any time to...

“Don’t call me Shirley.”

"Can you fly this plane?" from "Zero Hour" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWI3JZvvbI4

Who needs flying lessons? ...

What Brian says. If you do horizontal, there should be a calculation for the blower for length/diameter of pipe and vertical/horizontal travel. If...

Imo if not concerned with the visual of the vent go with the vertical. A roof vent is easily flashed by any competent tradesman.

I have not, I've got a Waypoint which is similar in so many ways and has a few things I prefer over the Rockwall (hollow grind and washers) so I...

It's a presently unresolved issue, and it may yet take a while to get satisfactory conclusion from it. The recycling of EV batteries is rather...

My wife is in Tbilisi, Georgia right now. I sent her this joke yesterday. She has a group of colleagues in Georgia from a previous firm and from...

Reviving this oldie for a quick question. We're finally (finally!) getting the hood installed that we planned on pre-Covid. The kitchen has...

I saw that. The photo of the bent over box is about the same orientation as mine was in. I realize now that photo above is not how I found it - I...

My son has completed all his classes and finals. Two weeks from today he graduates from the Naval Academy and becomes a Marine Second Lieutenant. I'm...

Where I live, we've gone from a few chargers at the Carl's Jr next to I-40 to chargers in most grocery store parking lots which makes sense. My...

Only apply to people living in suburbs / country and/or in the USA. If you live in a city in most areas without dedicated parking space, charging...

For further review of Roberts' record, or that of any of the SCJs, there are some good infographics here... ...

Jorn, That's a shame. It's too late for the dead ones, but could you put the nesting box on a tree/branch that's too small for the bears to...

My brother informed me yesterday that VW now owns the Scout brand and are thinking of rebooting the SUV with an electric one soonish. Kinda cool.

Any updates from East Hampton? This thread has been such a treat!

I'm talking about a possible tactic for broaching a topic that is potentially going to meet with significant opposition by creating a firestorm when...

I'm thinking that most women don't care that much about the tone of the ruling, compared to the substance. If someone says "You no longer have...

Yes, as I said before re: my wife's assessment with which I agree - I would not be surprised if this leak came as purposeful shock to the system,...

For me this ^^^ and cost & recycling impact of battery replacement (which last I heard is still an issue) are the main concerns with electric.

Sebago Lake in Maine is a favorite of mine. Easy to do a trip that can take in the White Mountains, Sebago Lake and Portland ME to give you your...

Dustin, Those pens are cool and all but I'm curious as to why there's no domestic hot water serving the P-10 lavatory - adjacent to Toilet 1125. And...

A Putin joke, moderately OT but somewhat relevant. Putin dies and goes to hell. After a while he’s given a day off for good behavior. So he...

Don't forget Roberts wrote the opinion in Shelby County vs. Holder, finding the preclearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional...

Calling the Chief Justice a moderate is a simplification, for it's essentially categorizing him on the basis of his decision for a particular case. ...

I have some faith in the Chief Justice to handle this situation. He hasn't been the conservative that many expected, much of his work in SCOTUS shows...
