    A/C on vacation?

    Sure he is on vacation but I'll shoot him an email. I think he said it was about 170 on EBAY and just runs off the two 24VAC wires. The streaming video was clear enough for me to recognize a family member of his walking up to the door with a bag of groceries.

    ECOBEE T-Stats are pretty user friendly. One of my security techs did the install of one for a commercial customer of ours who renovated a house so some of their out of town clients had a convenient and cheap place to stay and he said it was a breeze. I am assuming you already have a security system but a co-worker installed a new doorbell on his house that has a motion sensor, camera and speaker. When someone comes up to it the darn thing sends a signal to his cell phone and he can see who it is and talk to him.

    Late season camping

    I use a 10x10 tent with Mr Heater Buddy and leave it on all night as my tent is vented and they are safe to use indoors. I leave it on the low setting and it keeps the tent about 20 to 30 degrees warmer than the ambient temp. I take my 5 pound grill bottle and use a long hose on it and it stays outside the tent. It will run for a month easy on that bottle using it just at night.

    Sold

    Are you interested in trading for a Russian SKS? I bought it in the early 90's and probably put under 100 rounds through it.

    Get a programmable t-stat or a stat that connects to the internet so you can pull it up on your phone and change the settings. They even make one that you can tie to your phone so that the setpoint changes when you are a mile away.

    load info?

    223 is pretty forgiving as far as powders go, H322, H335, Varget, W748 are great but I don't have any experience with TAC. I have not loaded for my AR just for a Thompson Contender 14" and it liked H322. This was a long time ago and I could buy it marked Military Surplus for $6 a pound retail.

    If you decide to go OEM Tousley Ford in Minnesota is the cheapest place in the US. A close second is Sunrise Ford in SoCal. Both places usually ship the same day. I just bought an ICP from Tousley on a Friday and had it on Monday.

    MUDBUGS!

    I've use a wire minnow trap with a can of cheap cat food in it. You just need to make the holes a little bigger. I use Zatarains Crab Boil, new potatoes, corn, onions and some mushrooms in it. Sausage if I have some but I just used of the last of it. I bring it back when I visit my brother in Louisiana a couple of times a year. It is good to keep them in fresh water so they purge.

    Right.. I also have had multiple defective termostats and radiator caps! brand new yet no workie. I have probably seen 3 or 4 new thermostats stick when brand new and I have only replaced maybe 5. I always test them on the stove before I put them in.

    confederate flag

    A co-worker and I were talking about the flag crap yesterday on the way back from a job walk and I told him that I bet I could go on Amazon and but a Nazi or ISIS flag. This morning there is a audio circulating on the Net of an exec from Amazon saying they were told to stop selling the flag by the Feds.

    Raising your own meat

    Neighbors grand kid spent time in tent city and worked in the kitchen. He told me the food came in packages marked not fit for human consumption, FWIT. This was about 12 years ago. I'm not a wild child but I'm no an angel either. Never served time but I won't hold spending time in jail or prison against anyone. Some people are just pure evil and a 22 behind the ear is all they deserve.

    Waitin' on Draw Results

    I remember sitting in an Elk Camp with a guy and his wife around 1987 or so and he told me he had put her in and she drew a tag and she was going to use a 257 or a 357 if she could get close enough. I think one of their relatives was a guide. Darnd if she didn't kill it with a 357 pistol later that year.

    Bitter/Sweet Fathers day

    Murph. I'm kinda an old softee and didn't want to open your post since I presumed it was about your own dad and my relationship with my brothers and sisters with our dad really wasn't really very nurturing as he was a loner and, well a heavy drinker. Being the oldest of five kids by the time I was about twelve I was pretty much the protector and some what of a father figure. Flash forward about 25 years, I met a wonderful woman and soon had a couple of kids in my late thirties about a year and a half apart. My daughter came first followed buy my son. We did everything together from the time they could walk. Camped, fished and hunted. In her senior year of high school, she fell for a kid whose parents were here illegally. Nice people, old school. They started dating and a couple of years later his parents has a b'day party for him at theis house and let the kids, all underage drink unsupervised. His mothers mindset was they will probably go somewhere and drink anyway so let them drink here. Well three months before she was going to turn 19 my child went into cardiac arrest from too much booze. I read all the police reports, filled out by the parents, boyfriend and her friends. Some of whom I had coached through Little League. Eight years later it still blows my mind. Tomorrow is her birthday and a day never passes that I don't think about her. Unbenownst to me my ex took her ashes to the Pacific and scattered them last year. Probably best I didn't go.
  24. Ole Grover has a guilty look to him. Glad he is safe and sound though.
