    Career change

    I’d commute , but it would need to be a bag of dough . I had a half hour run thirty yrs ago , it was often forty five and could become an hour . I was younger. Life is short . Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    So the National Posf has just put out an article the the two hundred million gun buy back has cost four hundred so far and the estimated cost of a little over twenty k per gun was grossly underestimated. Twelve hundred guns have been surrendered but none have been bought . The auditor general...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Makes sense they service mining , literal thousands of pieces go into shoring . Grading is a funny business , I’m a certified grader for hardwood veneer , ( and a commercial floor inspector but that’s a long story) , we employ a hardwood grader in our mill , that currently only processes...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Tamarack ( also known as larch) is used a lot for fence posts and pilings and common as railroad ties . The stuff from northern climes has been used for boat building for years so it has a decent weather resistance. I don’t know if it’s better than cedar , but cedar quality has declined a lot in...

    Natural gas BBQs

    i like the heat of propane but will never give up the convenience of NG . My lazy nature wins out. The weber patio 2 burner I saw at BBQ galore has an NG option. I bought new burner tubes, wave plates and stainless grills for my Broil King regal, $460 taxes in. New unit was $1200 so i'm ok...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    too far gone for a sand and shine fix. The upper deck is Trex so the lower now just looks even worse. Now I'm just debating in my head invisible clip system or the low end screw/plug system. Frame network is fine , so just deck boards at $ten bucks a ft for the not fancy Trex and $fifteen bucks...

    Portawalls

    some of the hotrod guys do it , Portawalls is but one brand . There are several "kits" online and Youtube vids to show how. It seen them at car shows and they look ok , but almost too white.

    Another idea , when you get close to buying visit a club or two and look at the bulletin board . Dozens of skeet/trap specific guns never leave the club , another member buys it . The really nice guns sell over a picnic table and never make it to the bulletin board . Sent from my iPhone using...

    My whole back yard , such as it is , is covered on the lower level of the backyard with pressure treated deck . It’s only about four hundred sq ft , but that’s eight hundred lineal ft of decking . It’s really looking tired and something needs done . In Trex it’s an eight thousand dollar problem...
