I have a Weber that is 10 plus years old. Cast iron grates, Porcelain hood. It is the smaller 3 burner model. We use it pretty much all summer and some in the winter also. I put new burners in it this spring even though the old ones worked but were burning uneven. $35 on Amazon. It was...
They are nuts. I also pay more for service fee than for gas most of the year. I am with Center Point energy. All that insulation and other upgrades and I still pay more, but they tell us we age getting a real bargain on the gas we use.
The neighbor man would burn thistles with a torch. He would re torch them every time it looked like they were trying to come back. the next year they were gone. He was a Polish immigrant who grew a lot of food using all natural methods. I asked him about weed killer, and he basically...
I pay the morning after the tax bill come in the mail. The assessors and treasurers offices are empty and the clerks look startled to see anyone coming through the door.
Our insurance went up 40%, and we have never had a claim of any type. My insurance guy sells several brands and what I had was still the cheapest. I talked to other brand offices, and they were still more.
One salesman explained that I am not insuring a $250K house anymore, I am insuring a...
Last April my property tax went up a lot and I asked that the assessment be reviewed. As of last year we are both over 65. An occasional drainage district fee is not applicable this year. It really worked! My taxes went down! Six whole dollars.
To celebrate, I stopped by Dairy Queen and...
I spent a summer working for a drywall firm in the 70's. It was pretty often another tradesman on a job would ask for one of our empty mud buckets for a bio break. Everyone carried paper in their trucks. They were metal buckets back then. The tradesmen might leave scrap from their work all...
They know it is almost impossible to NOT make a numerical profit because the last three years of inflation. Stuff that you could buy all day long for $350 just ten years ago is $700-800. When you sell your item for $800 and you go to buy something else, you are going to spend $800-900 for...
I am probably a bit older. I have Grand kids in college. Sadly, it looks like 1/4th my kids generation and the majority of my grandkids generation have responded to the NEA indoctrination. I fear that the generation that will be born 10 years from now will be growing up under a fascist...
Try the same load in another brand of brass. If the primers look good, I agree with 55 Fairlane, some brass has alloy problems and switching brass brands clears up the problems. Being a bolt action, gas or timing issues do not apply.
in jail, if there is a beef between some people, no one intervenes, they stay out of it, no matter how inhumane the action is. Getting involved means you want to be next.
It is a sad state of affairs that people have accepted living jail etiquette in their own neighborhoods.
I have some silver. I like the idea that it is going up. I hate the reality that it is not going up, but all my hard earnings that are in dollars are losing buying power every day.
It is sad to look at a statement of how much I "made" on 4.85% return CD's and realize that I really lost...
While this is true, even the dem party has been overtaken by globalists that are willing to kill people to remove personal freedoms and national sovereignty
That will be Monday the 22nd. Pretty significant event in both world history and Biblical prophecy. I think things are going to get interesting, real fast.
We have to keep in mind, both Egypt and Jordan had authority over the Gaza strip Palestinians. In addition, they had a similar religion/culture. Both of them keep their distance from them. I'll bet there is a reason why they are on the side of the family that does not get invited for summer...
I am one of those people who was generally not afraid of switching jobs. I had even positioned myself to quit a career and take a 50% pay cut to break into a new field. I retired from another field early so I could go into a field I felt called as my destiny. I took additional education...
Because of caring for elderly relatives some geriatric / med supply catalogs still come to the house. Among the usual trusses, bunion cream, wheeled walkers and the usual things you think of for aged people, there are some pages with various "equipment" to help those functions. Old people...
