    Best way to weatherproof white pine?

    I've been building a rifle rest bench out of scrap white pine I've got out in "Mantown" and I'm wondering what the best way is to treat it such that the weather doesn't destroy it too soon? I'm guessing that stain doesn't actually do much for you and water seal is the best you can get but if...

    Anyone bought anything from "Cummins Industrial Tools"?

    I just received a flyer that indicated that there will be a tool sale at the local (small town) fire department and it showed all kinds of shop and other tools. (parts washers, welders, etc.) The prices are really good but I'm leery about whether this is just one of the deals where a semi...

    Bombing's in London

    Woke up this morning and turned on the news and was shocked to see the bombings going on over there. I have to travel to England 3-4 times a year for work and I've been through that Kings Cross station maybe 100 times over the last 10 years. My prayers are with the families of those who...

    Anyone catch "Trucks" a couple of weeks ago?

    When he made biodiesel from fryer oil? I was really revved up to go buy that setup after watching the show. Then I saw the price . . :( I think the only way you could justify it is if somehow you got 6-10 guys together to split the cost and pass it around. I think between my wife, the...

    QuickAir3 or Viair 400P ?

    I just had to fix a flat tire on the X while the camper was hooked up and used the little itty bitty cheapo air compressor I had to air up the tire. It did the job, but I was really worried that it would burn out. (I was running it for 5 minutes, with 10 minutes to cool and it took me an hour...

    What speed are you towing at?

    I just got back from 2200 miles in 8 days and while I like to tow around 59mph it seems like it's much easier on the truck to run about 64mph. At 59 I have it shifting in/out of OD (unless I turn the OD off), and it seems like my EGT's get much higher on a hill. At 64mph it never leaves OD...

    Anyone found a good use for Compact Flash cards?

    I've found that I keep accumulating "smaller" compact flash cards as I upgrade the one's in the GPS, camera, etc. I wonder what to do with the old one's as I never seem to ever use them. (I bought the bigger one's because I didn't want to keep swapping) Any good compact flash charities? :)

    I think he did it, but I'd bet money he's not convicted of anything serious . . .just curious what your opinions are. Have a good one, Dave

    California Landslides

    Is it just me or does it piss you off that these people expect the federal government to declare them a disaster area and provide relief. They haven't been able to buy insurance for over 10 years (since the last mudslides). I just don't see that my tax dollars should go to bail them out...

    Diesel's only .85 here

    That's pence and per liter. :) (Stuck in England for 10 days so I've been wandering down and sniffing the tailpipes at the local filling station because I miss my truck. :) ) Have a good one, Dave

    What's a good price for Fuel Filters now?

    I am about to use my last fuel filter from the case I purchased from DIS about 3 years ago. What's a good price and where are you buying them? (I don't want any with a "cap" builtin. :) ) Have a good one, Dave

    So how long do I need to keep bank and credit card statements?

    I've been cleaning up my office and making the house more secure (in general). One of the "threats" I"m trying to avoid in the future is identity theft. While cleaning out my filing cabinet I realized that I have my Bank and Credit card statements for about the last 14 years. Is there any...
