Cool stuff!

Hey wow, long time no see!

We have to go through the pain...in order to do better for ourselves as a country and regain some self sufficiency (which is sorely...sorely needed).

Most people knew this was not a 1 month fix, nor a 3 month fix, nor even a 6 month fix. It's like trying to steer a battleship running full speed ...

Yeah with uBlock being disco'd from Chrome....I did shift to uBlock Lite...but like Easto said above....watching YouTube videos...uBlock Lite only blocks the ad video....so you get to stare at a black screen for the length of the video.

So I tried Ghostery...and it does not do that, you click a ...

Hey I recall your name! Yeah I don't do much "forum haunting" anymore. I still do IT work, opened a branch office down in south west Florida (in Englewood, live up in Venice). Our main office is up in CT....I had been coming down here a lot over the past 20 years and made the full time move last ...

Wow I remember that website from way back in the day!

Poppin' in...way way late. Thanks All!

Yup PA..with all the shenanigans they'll play with the votes....will delay things as they can slide in more shifting ballots.

Yeah, and Helene poured a lot of water on FL (as well as states more north)....that saturated the ground, that was already still fairly saturated from Debbie...so when Milton came through, water had nowhere to go but UP. Rivers swelled...heck, up by Homosassa/Crystal River/Dunnelon/Inverness/etc ...

Yeah for sure when it comes time to buy, I'll be studying flood zones closely. Elevation, etc. Already dealt with that back up in CT...having a house "right on the water" there.
Anyways..update, we moved to Venice...inland Venice a bit, near where Jacaranda meets East Venice Ave...by that rotary ...

Happy Birthday!

Property damage was high.
The town of Englewood looks like Hiroshima or Nagasaki must have looked at the end of WWII.
The once beautiful barrier islands of Boca Grand, Manasota, Don Pedro, Casey...absolute and total destruction. The waters...already having a few boat wrecks still in the water from ...

Hurricane Helene flooded 2x of our 3x buildings on our lot. Our lot is 8' above sea level. Helene covered it in just short of 2' of swamp/brackish water. We have a big pond in our back yard, with 6x alligators, that connects to a creek which hits the intercoastal behind Don Pedro Island...by Stump ...

You can just send money....your 401k, your black unmarked van, and unused inflatable sheep!

Faust Can't Fly!!!

Hey Scott, been a minute...lol..or a heck of a lot more.

...and...not too long ago, had a conversation with someone ..remembering the "discwasher" system. :)

Ubiquiti...I've deployed a few hundred of their networks, we started using Ubiquiti products back when Unifi was mostly ...

Yup, it has been too long. We gotta catch up. This fall we'll be making trips up north to go to some of the springs...we love kayaking springs such as Rainbow River.
Or if you're down this way.... :) My office is right on Placida Rd, in a little professional center complex called Sea Foam Village ...

After years of a lot of back 'n forth between CT and FL....about 2 months ago wife and I put our house for sale in CT and drove down to south west Florida to call it home!
Our second kid flew the coop last summer...she's 21 and in her own apartment, full time job, her own new car, doing well. So ...

Thanks All!

Faust Can't Fly!

Haven't heard a peep from him in a long time, hope all is well!

Meggie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope it's a good one!

I'm not seeing any neutral (independent...non-.GOV biased sites)..that report we made more in 2022 than in 2020.
Go to 5 year view here...and there's a noticable dip 'tween '20 and '21

We need to make more oil, make America self sustaining.

In 2020...America made more oil than America consumed.
We produced 18.4 million barrels per day, and we consumed 18.12 million barrels. We imported 7.86 million barrels per day back then too.

Today, around shoreline CT....regular peewater unleaded is in the high 3.80's/low 3.90's.
Our premium is approaching 5, I think I saw a gas station or two above 5...but most are still just below it.
My F-150 truck, the 5.0 Coyote V8 in her is flex fuel capable, and when it's > 60 cents cheaper it's ...

Gonna be a hunned bucks to fill up the pickup again....

...
At one point in time I received a package from Amazon with a different name, but my address on it. Couldn't find the person on my street, or my area at all. Tried to contact Amazon to no avail. Talked to the Amazon driver when he was around about a way to return a package and he said there is ...

and in the blink of an eye, she got her drivers license today. :)

Oh my gosh..how time flies. I remember meeting you well before this event, and...remember you posting this thread...

Oh to see the little ones grow up...ever so quickly. Not many years ago I was taking my daughter out for her ...

There are certain foods that....buying organic is well worth it, makes a difference. And there are certain foods where ...."organic" doesn't make much of an actual difference.
Milk...is one where it does make a difference. Dairy cows for conventional milk are injected with growth hormones and ...

My wife uses it in her "bullet coffee". Has used it for a few years, sorta slowed down with in more recently as she's gone full carnivore.

As far as the Crystal River area and north of there for living - it's very different scene than down south, much more rural with a southern feel, farms and small towns.

Kinda what we liked about it up there last year...
So this year, we're spending 1x month down in Englewood (1x block away from ...

Isn't it tracking through Tampa and up to JAX?

Looks to be dead on for "the nature coast". The Eye likely to lock onto Cedar Key...and pass over it. Quite north of Tampa/St Pete area.

The Nature Coast is...sorta what looks like the arm pit of FL if you picture an arm sticking out to be the ...

Reminds me of this...

Penzoil 0w-20 will be the same "viscosity" as any other brand 0w-20.
When reading oil weights, the first number is the viscosity when it's cold (the W came out to stand for winter). The second number is the viscosity of the oil when up to engine temp.

So if you had Castrol or Quaker State 0w-20 ...

I use the "MyPhone" app to tie my phone in with my laptop and desktop. It connects via wireless. This way I can "text from my computer, both receive, and send" through my phone...very handy.
Also a handy app to grab pics from the phone, although I also just use photos.google.com once I take a pic ...

I do best with low heat, that would be 180*F on the Duxtop induction cooktop.
I bought an 8" Duxtop SS fry pan that's quite nice, but all my SS pans get the same result if I start with some butter and use low heat.
I can fry eggs flawlessly this way.

Yup, stay away from non-stick....you can cook ...

Wife and I went to a "carnivore way of eating" a bit over a years ago.
Literally....just what comes from animals...meat/fat/dairy/eggs.

Mequiar's is my "go to" wax.
Tried this, that, and the other...always seem to go back to Mequiar's.
I think the best testimonial for me was my boat, which we just sold, but for the past 5 years we've lived on our boat for much of the 6 warm months up here at the marina.
And, fiberglass....being out ...

Very interesting. I have lots of chicken bones frozen, ready to make new bone broth. I'll make some more soon.
Is taking gelatin also a good thing? I drink a lot of beef and chicken soup.

So how long do you invert for, and at what angle?

Yeah, good quality natural bone broth is great for you ...
