I guess once water goes through the powerhouse it’s just gone for good. Who knew?

Well, if it wasn't gone for good they'd call it a rain "cycle" or something like that...

Lowes is starting to carry more types of LED lighting including 60 watt bulb (14W) replacements. I bought one for 25 bucks and promptly dropped it on the concrete floor and broke it when replacing the 60 watt bulb in my garage. I wonder how long it will take me to recoup my costs?

“Leaving outside lights on is a cheap and effective crime prevention measure. “

So were small caliber bullets when they were affordable. I still think they have less environmental impact, even if they are made of lead.

“Yeah Hobart is the budget div of Miller.
My B-I-L used to be a sales rep for them.

For amateurs it’s fine.”

Yep, it’s nice when the factory tech reps will get on a forum over the weekend and tell you how to fix a possible problem in a 10 year old machine for $5. worth of parts that you can buy over the internet. I don’t know what your BIL’s experience was, but I haven’t heard anything but compliments about their customer service.

MY B-I-L got fired for expense acct fraud (well deserved based on some of his boasting previously).

I lost my connection.

Well I don’t feel like blaring all my lights like everyone else so I’m gonna go make a tire fire in the backyard ;-)

As long as i’m paying for it i’ll use all the electricity I want to and that’s probably double what i need to live.

I hate switching lights and TVs on and off as I move about the house and our computers are on 24/7!!

Spring comes when it feels like it.

Not really; as "spring" has a set definition - the time of year between the vernal equinox and the longest day of the year.

TEMPERATURE has nothing to do with it.


Note that the above is for the Northern hemisphere.

"Spring" starts 6 months later in Australia.


(Just because fags what their shacking up to be included into the Marriage DEFINITION; IT AIN'T GONNA happen.)

I’m not fooled. Half the people on this site tell me that China is actually a backwards, Third World, country - yep, that they do. These pictures are OBVIOUSLY Photoshopped.

Maybe you’re the one who was sent to explain to us western Washingtonians why summer begins on July 5th up here. Would you be she?
