Happy Valentine's Day! Wifey bought me a six pack of Payday candy bars. Last thing I need but they are a guilty pleasure. I bought some difficult 1000 piece puzzles for her. She and several of her friends are big into puzzling. At least it keeps her off the street. :p Had to go to the...

I still have fluorescents in my shop. Your photos are tilting the scale in favor of replacing those darn fluorescents. I need more light and even though I am cheap I think it is time to be able to see again. I have two gooseneck lamps that I use LED bulbs in and the pure white light is really...

That sounds like our skeeters. They are so big that they sexually assault the Canada geese.

Gotta love when blunt force trauma is properly applied to the unwanted.

You all have heard that you learn something new everyday. I learned yesterday that there is an insect in the scorpion family called a vinegaroon. Vinegaroons are weird looking creatures who spray a foul smelling acidic liquid when they are threatened. I have to say they are nightmarish in...

When I bought my Bug-a-salt I also bought a bag of their expensive ammo. I misread the ad when I placed the order and spent $12 for a pound of their special salt. Of course, it will last me forever as I have barely made a dent in it. It is more coarse than table salt but not as coarse as rock...

On another source it was mentioned that birds, mice, rats and other small animals had ropes, twine etc. around their necks and then they were positioned on miniature catapults. I will leave the rest up to your imagination. I have never tortured any animals. I have used a magnifying glass to...

I love words and the more archaic they are the more I find them interesting. Years ago I used to spanghew the shot put and discus. Now I can barely spanghew my pillow. The etymology and origin of this word is pretty terrific or perhaps I should say horrific. It originated to describe a method...

It was nippy yesterday so I decided to bake some apples for me and the missus. Couldn't be simpler! Cored the apple and scooped out a bit of the flesh to create a cavity and then stuffed it with a mixture of chopped pecans, brown sugar, raisins (regular and golden) cinnamon, nutmeg, melted...

I believe it is playing Canon Variations. I don't recognize the tune but that isn't saying much since I have a long history of not listening to music.

I was given another adult puzzle kit for Christmas. These puzzle kits are laser cut sheets of thin plywood that when punched out and assembled form a three dimensional object. In this case the puzzle is in the form of a grand piano and contains a music box. This is an overall view of the...

It has been a roller coaster here this week with regards to the temperature swings. One day the high is in the 40's and the next day it is near 70. We have had high winds and thunderstorms with heavy rain. If you like changes in the weather this week has been for you. Not much going on...I...

Everything is possible with a bigger hammer.

Excellent!

Do you guys realize how accurate you have to be to hit a pigeon on the fly with a baseball? That said, this reminds me of something that happened many years ago. One of my friends and I were out shooting my bow in a big open field. We were playing lawn darts with a bow and arrow. The big...

As someone who does not begin to qualify as a melomaniac and also knows how to burn himself with a soldering iron I think it best that I not become involved in this project. I did see one part of the design that needs improvement by adding a disgronificator to enhance the tongue touch experience.

The presence of an "n" or lack thereof makes all the difference to the meaning of this story..:p:ROFLMAO:

Well, the dadgum tree rats around here steal the tomatoes out of my garden as soon as they begin to turn red. We have a split rail cedar fence that goes completely around our backyard and the tree rats will hop along the top rail from post to post until they get next to the deck which abuts our...

My aunt and uncle had a cottage at the beach for many years. They usually closed it up Thanksgiving weekend. Once they failed to close the damper on the fireplace which was in the den which was an addition to the the house. They did close the door from the main house to the den. A squirrel...

I have looked and I cannot find its volition. Come to think of it I don't know what a volition looks like. :confused:
