    Do you buy from McMaster Carr?

    I highly recommend McC for any type of hardware. Pricing is fair and delivery is amazing. I am in midMichigan and the warehouse is near Chicago and my orders are delivered the next day! Mike

    Hit another one!

    Well, I was about 4 miles from home this morning, on the way to my yearly "wellness check" when I smacked a deer. This makes #8 in my life-so far. I was in my winter beater (2008 T&C) and the plastic facia is busted up pretty good and I have a large dent in the drivers door. I do purchase...

    I'm gonna smell good tonight.

    I'm smoking 2 big pork butts and 2 whole chickens today, in the cold storage garage (it's raining). I'm hosting a "pot luck reunion" Saturday for my HS graduating classmates. 55 years. Making pulled pork and chicken salad. Mike

    Who's hungry?

    In between wiring today I managed to smoke 3 pork butts in 6 hours time. We'll cool and freeze 2 and finish the other one in the crock pot tomorrow night. Check out the smoke ring. Also had time to smoke hot dogs for lunch and I have baked beans in the smoker for tonight's meal. Mike

    Transportation of parts?

    When distance of delivery becomes too far for our members perhaps we could work out a chain delivery system among ourselves to assist others? Not a speedy service mind you, but an eventual delivery of desired parts. Kinda like buying from Amazon! A map of travel routes could be worked out so...

    Corn Feeder Stand

    The "what did you work on today other than your car" thread is too far back in the files so I thought I would start another, similar thread. I built a replacement stand for a friend that he picked up yesterday. The original Cabela's stand with feeder assy was backed into by a dozer and cobbled...

    Charitable donation.

    Today I gave a check to our local charitable foundation. I assumed I would be reimbursed with stimulus money. Who knows now? I wanted to help people with rent, food, clothing, etc.. Gave them $1,000.00. It still feels good. Mike

    Charging a 12 volt drill?

    Hi fellas, I have a older, good 12 volt Porter Cable drill kit (2 batteries-rebuilt) but, my charger died and I can't find another. Can I use a Battery Tender Junior to recharge my battery packs? I would rewire the old charger case to adapt the battery to the Tender. The OEM charger is rated 1.6...

    I don't want to be awake this late!

    The phone rang at 1:20 AM and woke me up. It was my youngest. He was in the hospital getting checked over after someone crossed the centerline and totaled his truck. He is OK but, I guess I'll be vehicle shopping with him today and Saturday. My wife wanted to retrieve him so I stayed home with...
