    How to not get spyware with MS Windows (usually).

    Motivation Spyware/Adware/Malware is really about one thing. Money. We as consumers are constantly having our habits studied by marketing types so they can sell us more stuff. So what are these things doing on my computer? Essentially this: 1. Monitoring the web sites you go to. 2. Sending...

    Michael Richards racist rant?

    I saw the video clip. I looks pretty condemning, but doesn't show what happened before or after. Anyone heard the whole story?

    Blisters in gelcoat

    I'm assuming I'm using the correct term. I have quite a few areas on the bottom of my hull that are cracked like a spiderweb. Some sanding reveals that the gelcoat has come "unstuck" from the fiberglass in these areas. I have sanded a few of these off feathering back to where the gelcoat is...

    Favorite Firearm?

    I have a Ruger 10/22 that I've had since I was 7 years old. I am 37 now. I've owned it longer than anything else I have. It's been the demise of many a target and squirrel over the years and is still reliable . That's mine. What's yours?

    Your voting expierence today.

    It was raining. It wasn't crowded, but my precinct never is. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes which is usually the case. We had 8 Diebold machines and all of them were in service. I have no way of knowing if my vote will be counted correctly or at all, but there were no problems with the...

    Electronic Voting

    I thought I'd bring this up BEFORE the election. It's my understanding that electronic voting machines provide no mechanism for a proper audit or recount. The voter has no way of knowing that what he/she cast is what really counted. Does this concern you?

    Jelly Rolls

    Does anyone remember these? They used to be sold in the grocery store near the bread. I think they came in on the bread truck. I think there were 3 or 4 in a pack ( |@@@| ) and a little smaller than a fist. I'm not talking about those crappy ones Little Debbie sells. It might have said Jelly...

    I recently serviced the water pump on my outboard. It's the first time I've done it on this one. For those that have worked on a few Chryslers, this is one that has the threaded coupler w/jam nut that connects the 2 halves of the shift rod. You have to take the 2 cover half's off the exhaust leg...

    Glenn Beck and Al Sharpton

    Hey did anyone catch that show last night? I heard Glenn talking about it on his radio show so I Tivo'd it. Admittedly, I don't know if Al Sharpton practices what he preached on that show but I was kinda impressed with him. I figured he'd make a fool out of himself (nobody wins an arguement with...

    Would a cloned human have a soul?

    First and foremost I am against the cloning of humans. But, sooner or later (if they already haven't in some secret laboratory somewhere) it's going to happen. Will he/she have a soul? Could he/she have faith in God. Could he/she go to heaven? Could he/she children go to heaven? Would they...

    What happened to my impeller?

    I recently replaced the impeller on my '69 33HP Ski-Twin. It's been pumping water like a champ in the bucket until now. I was idling it and it stopped pumping while I was watching. I pulled the L/U today to see what the problem was. The rubber impeller has seperated from the keyed brass part...

    Epoxy / Poly compatibility

    It's discussed a lot here about how well one bonds to the other. I read an interesting article about it (sorry I don't have a link) the other day. In a nutshell it went something like this... Within a certain window of time poly binds to poly or epoxy binds to epoxy at the molecular level...

    Painting Trailer

    I'll be sandblasting and painting the trailer that came with my project boat. I was thinking about brushing it down with Ospho before painting. I'll be using it in fresh water only. Any suggestions or better ideas?
