I worked as a contractor for a guy once that was having serious cash flow problems. He delayed my paycheck, then the next check bounced. He was alternately apologetic and then threatening. I finally found out that on his last business trip (international) he had taken an $8000 draw from the...

I spent a little time poking around the web and found a bunch of information, pro and con about the book "The China Study". Interestingly, most of the "pro" information is anecdotal and non-professional. There is quite a bit of "con" from the medical community (here is an example: China Study...

Yes Apple does offer a laptop for less than a thousand bucks, but just barely. ($999). Apple doesn't really sell low-end machines, so the sub-$1000 notebook market is not on their radar. I'm not an Apple spokesperson and I don't work for them, etc...but they are all about the user experience...

2 Gerber's...the multiplier 600 and the suspension butterfly. I really like the 600 because I can deploy it one-handed, very quickly. Mine is several years old and lacks the spring action and general coolness of the newer one (the suspension butterfly), but it's a great go-to tool for general...

3 days in a row? Sounds like your coordinates are getting cross-fire!

I have a couple of playlists on Pandora that I play at work. I work on a project with lots of ex-military types, so one day, after a guy was looking over my shoulder at some other stuff I was doing for work, I realized that I should rename my "stoner" playlist....so I edited the name and added...

Hope it was a great one! Happy Birthday to Beth too!

Surfin', redneck style! A neighbor several doors down had a good sized oak tree taken down. They left these logs piled in his front yard and were supposed to come take them away. We asked him if we could have a couple for firewood and they said "Sure, take all you want.". They were so...

We had a trailer load of downed branches mostly from our yard, but a few from the neighbors on both sides. My wife offered to ride along and help with the unloading (I loaded it all). We actually went to the local transfer station. In case they don't have these where you live or you've never...

I wasn't sure if anybody would get the Cosby reference. Not much gets by you guys... Heard back from the roofer. He'll have somebody stop by this weekend and goop around the chimney. He was real nice about it and that should be that... A/C guy came out this morning...they suspect all the...

Those early Cosby comedy albums are pretty funny...I remember listening to them as a kid. Hurricane season lasts for 6 months starting June 1 ending in November. The last 3 months are usually the most exciting.

In case you were wondering how it's going in Central Florida. It's raining. And windy. I came home last night to a leaking roof, broken A/C and a stuck shop door. Just one of those days. I managed to get a bucket jammed in just the right spot in the attic and will call the roof guy today...

My cousins got scammed by the same "raising chinchillas for their pelts" scam. They had a couple of dozen of them in the basement in cages in the 1970's. I remember helping to feed them...and getting pee'd on....and the smell. I 2nd the rat recommendation. We've had a couple..they are dirt...

RIP brother. We still have a little stash of cigars from the big event in '07. The '26 Padron that Tom gave Merry is one of them. Merry has been saving it for a special occasion. Now it will mean that much more. Thanks for letting us know, Charlie.

Wow. That's really a bummer. Hope things work out. Next time I'm in town, I'll be sure and stop by....

It's a tough deal. My daughter and I buried one of our Golden's about 2 months ago and I still haven't been able to drive the lawnmower over the spot.... Cheers! To good friends, be they 2 or 4 legged!

Hey thanks! Just what I was looking for....

Hope it's a good one! Enjoy your birthday Lee.

I'm looking for the before and after picture of the house and the house with Santa...it was done a by one of the guys here for another brother's family to help convince the young ones that Santa was really there...I don't remember all the details, but I'm sure somebody does. I searched for it...

It's all about the peripherals and the software. If you have lots of gizmos that you connect to your computer (cell phone, mp3 players, camera, printer, gps, etc), then you'll probably be happier with one of the mainstream operating systems (windows or mac). Getting all those devices to play...
