      Historic Plates on New cars?

      I saw something that caught my eye yesterday. A late model Toyota Camry ('17 or '18 I'm guessing) with a historic license plate on it. I thought the car had to be old to do that so I looked it up, and sure enough, it has to be at least 25 years old to register a historic plate... Am I missing...

      I officially hate insurance companies

      Friday night a lady swerved out of her lane to avoid a car that pulled out in front of her, side-swiping my wife. That car is the only car we have that can get the whole family around. The small-time insurance company out of Indy, Geneva Insurance, doesn't have any after-hours claims etc. The...

      Masonry Star Drills... anybody use them?

      How much work am I getting myself into? I need a hole somewhere around 1-3/4" through 4-6" reinforced concrete. I can get a 3/4" pilot hole no-problem (thanks to a friend with an SDS-Plus roto-hammer) but the bits to go to my size are very expensive for a single hole and he doesn't have them...

      Thoughts on anterless harvest numbers

      I've been pondering this over the last few weeks. Hopefully somebody more wise than me can help educate me, and anybody else wondering. Does (as opposed to bucks) tend to stay closer to their central territory/range. They don't venture as far as bucks, correct? In a county with high bag limits...

      The Skilled Labor Crisis

      I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I think I have a little insight into things that hopefully point toward a correction. These insights come from 2 different sources. For those that don't know, unemployment is low, jobs are up. We have a record number of people on welfare (many by...

      Tourniquets save lives

      Those in the military and those that have extensive medical training know TQs save lives. But many others don't. TQs can be used by anybody, there is no "medical training" required. You can learn to use one from a youtube video (even though I would recommend hands-on training). And there is very...

      Now that's a snake part V

      Let me set the stage for the nearly heart-attack I had: On my property there is an old abandoned limestone house in the woods; built in 1930. It's been 25 years since it's been occupied, it's in BAD shape. Unfortunately, due to a convoluted water well setup, the power for the well is fed from...

      Help a "non-vacationer" go somewhere tropical

      Ok, my wife loves tropical/beach vacations, I hate vacations in general. It's been a while since we've gone but I think it's time we do something for her. But I don't have a clue where to go, or what to do. She would love a cruise, but I've seen the news and don't care for a cut-rate cruise...

      Heard a fawn bleating today... something new for me

      I live in deer heaven (the middle of hundreds of acres of mixed pasture/grass & hardwoods), moved here last year. I've been an outdoorsman all my life but I've never had habitat that is as extraordinary as this at my disposal. Today I heard another first, a fawn bleating; it sounded as if it was...

      Any stock-makers or somebody with a stock duplicator local?

      Considering having a stock duplicated; I can supply the blank and do the inletting & finish work. I just need somebody to do the vast majority of the rough-shaping... I know I can send it off to have it done but most "internet stock makers" want a few hundred dollars just for the duplicator...

      Can somebody help me understand the nuances of IN property taxes

      Got my tax bill, it more than doubled from last year. I think I know why but I want to PM some details to somebody that can help me understand if this is right or not. Can anybody help me? A bit of information: the issue has to do with the purchase of a new house, we owned 2 houses when it...

      Recommendations for 22lr subs and supers BDC scope?

      I would really like a PFI RRE-22lr (BDC reticle with subs & sv yardages right on the reticle) but $300+ is a tough pill to swallow for a lowly rimfire scope... Anything similar out there? What about nice scopes with turret adjustments? What do you like about your 22 scope? ETA, next best is a...

      What should I do with some red (aromatic) cedar?

      1 log is large enough to mill, the other 3 aren't. I think I may have another one large enough to mill but its going to take some work to get it out of the woods. I don't know that I have any projects in mind to use it... but I'm not sure it's worth paying to have it milled just for a log or...

      Anybody finding Morels yet?

      I've been hearing of a few but not much chatter yet. I'm betting this weekend will be good for the southern part of the state. Anybody finding them?

      4th time this week I've flushed a covey of Quail

      At the new place I have a good 2/10th mile walk from the house to my shop. 4th time this week I've flushed a covey of Quail on the way to the shop. As a relative youngster I had never had the opportunity to even see Quail until recent years; I've definitely never hunted them. I look forward to...

      Thoughts on HB1200 (ATV Helmet law)

      Synopsis: Requires helmets for all people under 18 on ATV's. No exceptions as written. I'm all for being safe, and I'm all for everybody wearing helmets especially on ATV's DRIVEN BY those under 18... but as the law is written, if I'm just poking along in my yard at a snails-pace, with a load...

      Question: air sealing recessed lighting not accessible from above

      I have numerous recessed lights in my house that aren't accessible from above. Most of them have a frosted lens over them with a trim ring (uses normal bulb vs BR30). Is it acceptable to just seal the lens into the trim ring then seal the trim ring to the ceiling with a bit of foam gasket? The...

      Soliciting shower recommendations

      I will be doing a bathroom remodel sometime in the near future (within a year or so). Looking for something middle to high-end. No fiberglass or fiberglass-like pans or wall panels. Seriously considering solid surface (Corian etc). I know it will be more costly but it seems to be superior to...
