You could try what those sissy Jeepers do and spray the bottom of the deck with J&J baby oil. Gotta admit it smells nice.

Probably closer to 107 years ago.

I have an Arris SB6141 cable modem and an ASUS RT-AC68U router in my living room. All this works very well. Now my internet provider has increased my speed from 200Mbps to 600Mbps for less money and they recommend I upgrade my modem to take advantage of the increased speed. I have purchased an...

That would be Bryce.

I bought this a few years ago. It has never failed and I'm kinda lax with the cleaning schedule, that is, I don't do it as often as they recommend. I make 2 "lungos" after dinner everyday and have done so from the day we bought it. I use a stand alone frother instead of the steam wand because...

Got hearing aids yesterday. The technology is amazing, but still. Two years ago it was new teeth. This year it's new ears. Sigh.

It's good to see you also have to have all the screws lined up. I wouldn't have it any other way and to those that don't understand this, well, I feel bad for you.

Robin? Male and female American Robin.

Calm down. It's exercise. Perhaps you've heard of it.

I'll probably regret showing a picture of the Pickleball court I painted on my driveway. We (my wife and I) used to walk down to the tennis courts and then covid happened and "two weeks to flatten the curve" became months of not being allowed to play anymore so I did some research and discovered...

That's what I was referencing in my post. In Idaho, putting that trolling motor on your boat makes it motorized and you must register it for around $30/year, not a big deal. Right now, my boat is not required to be registered. I just have to buy a $7 'invasive species sticker'. I still might do...

I had a 30lb Minn Kota on another boat I used to own but the alternative to that was rowing which I was never coordinated enough to do. I've thought about putting one on this boat but it quadruples the registration cost from $7 to over $30 and adds additional weight and complexity to what is...

The weather finally turned, and we had the chance to go yachting today. This is a pedal boat. If you want to go from point a to point b quickly, pick something else, anything really, including swimming. These boats have got to be the most inefficient way to travel ever invented. That's probably...

I'll let you know. I haven't been out yet. Weather here's been awful. Cold, windy and stormy. Today it hailed with high winds. Maybe next week 'cuz the forecast for the rest of this week is not looking good. Yay, Idaho.

It's amazing that what we see there is a snapshot back in time 2030 years, a time before the birth of Christ and that object may not even be there today.

I owned a Craftsman 10" radial arm saw in the 80s and 90s. I bought it for working around the house and other projects instead of a table saw. At the time it was marketed as superior to the table saw because of its design and versatility and I didn't know any better. All sorts of accessories...

I haven't bought a pair of shoes that needed tying in years. Fuck that and I've got a shoe horn that's 18" long, too.

Perfect. That’s the look I was going for.

I live a mile or two from a lake/reservoir that you can boat and fish in. It's not the most interesting or scenic lake I've ever seen, but it's close by and large and it's fun to get out on the water when the days get hot. I have some kayaks and we've taken them out a couple of times but I...

My wife makes bread. It makes the house smell wonderful and it's really, really good.

Oh boy! Keep us posted.

We'd like to have some cake to celebrate, but we can't find the knife.

Still do And this one, too.

Didn't have one growing up. Parents weren't outdoorsy but we bought one after my daughter was born and did a lot of camping while she was growing up. Calaveras Big Trees State Park circa 1996 Yellowstone, circa 2006

My dad met my mom in Italy at the end of the war. As much as I wanted to know about WWII, they never said a word to me about it. All I know is that he signed up days after Pearl Harbor and retired from the military 20 years later. My grandmother who came from Italy to live with us in the early...

Lieutenant Commander Lou Conter, Last Survivor of the USS Arizona, Passes Away Aged 102

You don't need a Porsche to drive 15mph behind a motorhome up Hwy 1 in CA.

The Ladykillers (2004) ⭐ 6.2 | Comedy, Crime, Thriller 9/10 I'd forgotten how funny this movie until I watched again yesterday. It's a Coen bros. film and for reasons I don't understand, it doesn't get the respect it deserves. It's a dark comedy, but heavy on the comedy.

I have the Orbit b-Hyve. Had it for about 4-5 years. Works well and the app is always being improved. Can't say it's better or worse than any other but when I was part-timing at Lowes and selling them, regardless of the brand, the biggest issue people had was installing them where the wifi...

Yeah, because goin' out drinking on a backyard engineered bike with no mufflers, no speedometer and no turn signals (illegal everywhere I've ridden a motorcycle) is a great idea.

I gave her a good Gruen. Actually, nothing yet. I’ll have to think about that.

I dropped my shaving bowl into the sink two weeks ago and broke it beyond repair. I'd been stirring up lather in that thing for years and years every day, because as we all know, a gentleman shaves every day. I had others that I was now using including a scuttle that keeps the lather warm but...

I could see using that for about 90% of what I use a car for.

Not exactly sure what it is they are selling but in my attic, I bought some very heavy-duty reinforced aluminum foil that I stapled to the rafters. It took a bunch of this foil to go from the attic floor to the attic peak and along the length of the roof. I did what I would consider a very good...

I saw this today. A bit silly towards the end, but I still liked it. I couldn't keep my eyes off Bryce Howard's chest in that low-cut dress. Outstanding.

Sorry man, this little can is iconic.

I remember years ago when BMW came out with the station wagon version of the Z3 thinking that’s the only BMW the wife of that poor sap driving it would let him buy.

I feel the same way about Porsche Cayennes.

Just like apples. One a day keeps the doctor away.
