Government sponsored, tax payer funded pork barrel gravy train is right on the money (or in stark reality, right on yours and mine money). Got my !!**#!#**!@!@#!!! property tax bill today. Only up $80 from last year. Probably 'cause my property lost value since then. I wouldn't mind taxes so much if...

Hi Doug and thank you for the clarification. I was unaware that the liners were coated, makes sense though. As far as proper care for this device goes, I never got a chance to see any operations manual. It was long gone by the time I started working at that station. Thank you / Tom

Whoa!! Didn't know that. Straight 8 in a bus... like pouring gas directly onto the road. Actually inline 8s are amongst my favourites, they are incredibly smooth. Went to Radio Netherlands shortwave station in Bonaire 16 years ago. All of their diesel generator power units were inline 8s (2 in use, ...

Hi Rudy, don't know when Doug will be able to get back to you on this. Since I have had experience with this device, I can answer your questions. The liners are paper (they have not changed in over 40 years) and they are to keep the bowl clean (Incinolet assumes that water is not available where the...

Maybe it's a straight 8 (shades of a '49 Buick Roadmonster), just kidding. The only diesels I have had experience with (besides my '76 Peugeot Frogmobile / Explode "O" Car) were generator types from my radio daze. Detroit 4-53, 2-71 (my favourite), 3-71, and a 4 cylinder Perkins (somewhat ...

Rudy, FYI on the AAAA cells. There are 6 of them in every common 9 volt transistor battery.

Oops! Rudy, I think you're right on the Maglight. The LED is 3 and not 1 watt. I do know that they make the lamps for 2, 3, or 4 cell flashlights. Also the LEDs will fit other makes of flashlights as long as the original bulb is the PR type (PR2, PR3, or PR6). Just make sure the LED is proper for th...

Hi Rudy, that's an interesting assortment of flashlights you have. My most recent purchase is a small unit made by a company called Garrity. It uses 3 AAA cells and performs 5 functions. Solid flashlight (single LED) high, medium, low, slow flash, and fast flash. All in that order. It also has 3 bat...

Hi Rudy, your CDs arrived earlier today, thank you. Please keep an eye open for an envelope I mailed in your direction yesterday.

Rudy... Thank You Thank You Thank You for using reusable tubs. Carin and I eat out a lot and use them ALL the time. Her motto is "just say no to styrofoam". Their work will not end with the CDs. Please bring on information about the flashlights as I am a hard-core light bulb collector (jus...

Hi Rudy, got your CD as well. Again, thank you / Tom

Hi Mark, that really blows. Pay TV service is a bad deal all the way around. I have found out that antennaweb information is not so hot either. One of my ex tenants called me from his new location with some television related questions. He now lives in Puyallup, Washington. He looked up information ...

Hi Rudy, the reason I got my first goose (Henri the gander) was for a cheap watchdog for our aviary yard. He has worked out very well for the last 13+ years. Gloria joined our family as a shelter rescue about 4 years ago. They will make a racket with the slightest disturbance day or night. Another p...

Rudy, the pictures are wonderful. Wild turkeys take a lot to earn your trust, and chasing doggies don't help at all. You did well with these photos.

Hi Rudy, the proper name for a group of turkeys is a rafter. Their young are called poults.
