A while back I got involved with a high school girl group wanting to do a charity wash. We agreed to sell my tokenotes at face value and then split the money 50/50. Long story short…never got a dime and was out 500 tokenotes. This left a lasting impression and I never tried a charity wash again.
You can’t get any more accurate than this!
If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!
If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat...
Thought for the day....In the 80's we had Reagan in office. We also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have Obama in office and we have no Hope and no Cash.
Here are 3 videos that came out today. With a little luck the well will be contained (no leak) in a few days and killed by the end of the month.

Not long ago I got a call that my auto treadle had damaged the ground effects on her new Acura TL. By the time I got there, her husband was there and working at fixing the displaced plastic parts. I got out my trusty ruler and measured the height of the treadle, guide rails and the plastic...
The quick lube I used to use told me same thing…no money in doing oil changes. The original owner sold out and the new owners have turned it into a repair shop.
The US claims jurisdiction up to 200 miles from our coast. They also collect royalties in the neighborhood of 20% from the operators.

Looks like BP shortcuts added up to one big disaster...one ‘Aw-Sh*t’ wiped out all previous ‘At-A-Boys’.

You’re right. The Horizon had completed the drilling of the well and was in the process of abandoning the well for the near term. If there is a nearby facility (5 miles or so) which could produce the oil, a completion rig (cheaper) would be brought in to run the inner tubing and install a...
Go with Randy on this one. He knows more than the average smuck when it comes to electronics.
Sorry Randy…in no way did I mean to compare you to a smuck…it just came out that way. :D
My RCA remote works from about 15’ away except for when I get direct sun on the face of the meter box. When this happens I usually have to stand where I block the sun and point the remote directly at the LED5 from only an inch away. Since you now have the code, I would investigate the remote...
When I first switched from the $40 Dixmor remote to the $10 RCA remote I had to search for the code just as MEP described. The instructions on how to search are on the inside of the battery cover.
PM me and I’ll share the 3 digit code that works on my LED5’s

Why drill in 5,000’ of water? It is all about the ROI. Major oil companies will spend their exploration dollars where they can expect to get the greatest return.
The easy oil in this country has been found. Shallow water wells in the gulf have been exploited since the 40’s. As the...
