    handguns

    Sounds a lot like Alabama fighting rules. One of those rules allows for a well placed kick in the package, which allows you to mop up the floor with your opponent at your leisure while he is doubled over with pain. :eek:

    HD TV Question..

    Stephen, Call up the cable company or go by their office with your digital box in hand and swap it out for a digital HD box. The regular cable digital boxes just decode the standard definition digital signals on the cable. You need a digital HD cable box and appropriate video/audio cables...

    Changing the oil on 6.0

    Cost of Motorcraft oil filter and 14 quarts of Shell Rotella = $50 Cost of new 6.0 crate engine without installation = $13,850 Like the mechanic in the Fram commercials says "You can pay me now, or pay me later!" Oil is cheap insurance on a diesel. Changing oil on your 6.0 should be like...

    Excursion & Dualie 4 Sale at local dealer.

    Don't you just hate it when your dealer rat finks you to Ford as evidenced by the OASIS report citing the lift kit and the other goodies? All the better to deny a warranty claim later, I guess. :rant

    Put in a chip, now I have crap radio reception?

    Wire leads - the power wires that lead from the programmer to the fuse box. Chokes - a fancy name for a filter made by wrapping the wire leads around an iron form, essentially creating a trap for all of the garbage that is being produced by the programmer. Radio Shack carries the iron forms...

    Will this setup Work?

    You can be a member of this forum, GET THE SAME ARTICLE (last time I looked it was still in the WiKi) and not have to be a member of eBay. Basically, the person who posted the COPYRIGHTED article STOLE it. But since I never charged for it, and never wanted to, I have no cause for damages. Still...

    Christmas came early for Mrs. Powerboatr

    My wife is getting a diesel truck. A dually Sprinter conversion. Too bad it's for her business. Even worse, it says 'Dodge' on the side.:censored: When it is delivered, I'm ripping off everything that even remotely says 'Dodge' and putting the Mercedes-Benz grill and insignia back on the...

    Joke of the day

    A man walked into a Florida bar with his alligator and asked the bartender, "Do you serve lawyers here?" "Sure do," replied the bartender. "Good," said the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for my 'gator.":eek:

    Joke of the day

    The Readers Digest version of California history In 1850 California became a state. Back then, the state had no electricity, no money, there were gun fights in the middle of the streets, and almost everyone spoke Spanish. So it was just like California today. Only back then the women had...

    Nice holiday layout

    Thank goodness it was a change in the forum format. I was going nuts there for a minute. I thought IE7 was hiccupping again. Yes, I am using the home office WINDOWS VISTA (ugh!) machine instead of one of my trusty Macs. I'm trying to get the hang of this Vista OS, I am finding that out of the...

    Will this setup Work?

    Found that write up on eBay? Interesting. It's word for word a copy I wrote for this very forum two years ago. If he wants to charge you money for it, I'll give it to you free. Takes all kinds. :rant

    May The NFL Network rot in He**

    Digital Satellite FTA receivers are grand things. I have three. I like to watch things like the Apple closed circuit broadcasts, Times Square at New Years without listening to Bryan Seacrest, network backhauls, NASA, Chinese TV, heck, I'll watch anything when I'm bored.

    Hello all, I'm back

    Yes, I am a rich man. A somewhat proud man who was embarrassed by his reversal of fortune. I shouldn't have been. My true friends let me know that they were in my corner. I count all of you in that number. Thanks again for all of your support, your prayers, and good thoughts. They definitely...

    Man, I swear, you can't get ahead!!!

    It could be worse, TG. You could be living here on the Gulf Coast, and been the victim of a Category 3 or higher. You should have seen my house after Hurricane Opal. I was missing entire sections of roof. But as it has been said, bad luck comes in threes... I think you're safe for now...

    Hello all, I'm back

    After a crazy four months, things have sorted themselves out to the point where I didn't have to sell the Beast and my RV to meet my father's estate expenses. The advice I got from several of you to get a good attorney at my side was invaluable. To make a long story short, my father's...

    Thanks all, it has been grand.

    Thanks, guys. I really mean it. Here's the problem in a nutshell. One problem is the bank. Dad died intestate, leaving a small amount of money in the bank. It would cost twice as much to get the money out by going through probate as would be recovered. The only differences in the data...

    Thanks all, it has been grand.

    Like all good things, my membership at SDD must now come to an end. As you are aware, my father's passing last October left quite a legal and financial mess. It has gotten to the point where I must do a serious liquidation of assets in order to settle affairs. So this week, the Beast, the RV...

    A/C Freon Questions

    Do the fix right and convert it to R-134. Chances are the R-12 has leaked out from dried out o-rings that will need to be replaced when R-134 is introduced into the system. Yes, the system must be evacuated to vacuum and then flushed with alcohol, new seals installed, and then pressure tested...
