    Prep Time!!!!

    Ah sheeze Phil....I leave ya for a couple of hours trying my best to do my fair share for the bottom line of the medical establishment and here ya are leapfrogging me ;) Gotta say, the CT scan was pretty interesting. I've never even seen a picture of the machine so it was indeed an experience...

    Prep Time!!!!

    Mmmmmm, this stuff is finger lickin' awful!!! Just chugging my last jug of gastrografin & lemonade before heading down to get nuked. Had to drink one, three hours prior and the second an hour before. Actually, not that bad. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Mort (off on a new adventure)

    Prep Time!!!!

    Glad the first part went OK....so what's with this stuff? You trying to stimulate the entire medical profession all on your own? Tell ya what....I'm going to do my part so you can slow it up a little. I've got to hit the CT machine tomorrow AM and drink the bug juice instead of coffee so I'm...

    2/17/09 Are you ready?

    Ah, only in America can you be "really, really" poor and be concerned about the trivialities of receiving a television broadcast. Having electrical service to run the danged thing (and probably indoor plumbing too) are pretty high end items for some of the worlds really poor people. (I assume...

    Building my first house and am already planning on moving out…

    JMO, but only having a 15% cushion (or less...spit happens) and draining ready cash to $10K would scare the beegeebers outa me at this time. It doesn't appear that any job is safe and a three to six month cash cushion would seem prudent. Since you're already into the project I assume there's...

    Let's raise a toast for Repeal Day 2008!

    And here I thought it was a movement to repeal 2008. I'd vote for a "do-over" on this puppy:) Mort

    How to Properly Wash a Car.

    Swirls are not his problem (well, not the one he's asking about anyway)...where did that come in? Mort

    Automaker Loan - For or against?

    Don't forget to throw in the insurance industry too....AIG is up to close to $150B and counting and they don't "make" anything (well, except maybe a mess);) It's a worldwide race to the bottom...I hope we don't win. Mort

    How to Properly Wash a Car.

    I'm a believer in using the least aggressive product first when it comes to paint correction. Twere me, I'd try a paint cleaner (assuming the car is clean and the surface is smooth or been clayed) on one of the rear doors first. Meguairs makes a decent mild paint cleaner (Deep Crystal) that's...

    Firearms discussion - hardware only, no politics

    Which one? :D Old Mort was a man of many disguises. It depended on the arms being used. S&W Scofields, Colt SAA, 44 Russians, Colt Open Tops, Colt 1860 Army's and Ruger Vaqueros each has/had their own getup (and leather with appropriate type of rifle and scattergun). Best picture was one...

    Firearms discussion - hardware only, no politics

    I can't recall all the nuances, but no pistol grip, bayonet lug (like anybody has been stabbed with one recently), flash surpressor and a ten round magazine is maximum for any firearm (except lever rifles...go figure). Basically, a mini-14 or M1A is the choice. If you own higher capacity...

    How to Properly Wash a Car.

    Just an additional thought, but you might want to consider a grit guard (or two) for your bucket(s). They really help to prevent unintended contamination of your wash mitt(s). Mort

    Firearms discussion - hardware only, no politics

    If you want a preview of what new Federal legislation may look like, go to the California DOJ web site. Evil black rifles need not apply. Handhelds are limited to what passes safety tests. Speaking of increasing prices, I got involed in CAS (cowboy action shooting) a few years ago and most...

    need some input on svs please.

    OK, I'll join the lovefest;) I never realized what "boomy" bass was until I replace my Klipsh sub with an SVS PC Ultra. Mort

    Help requested - Differences between Panasonic plasmas?

    If you are near a Costco, it's worth a look. Prices should be comparable (or less) plus their return policy is much better. IIRC, Costco will also double the manufacturers warranty (to two years on the Panny). We went from a 27" tube to a 42" PDP about five years ago and the difference was...

    Thankful?

    Well, first off, I'm thankful that the election is over....and hopeful that the next one doesn't start until at least January.;) Taking my lovely bride of 35 years, daughter, son-in-law and two grandkids out to a local winery/resort for dinner on the 27th. A little sad that my parents won't...

    OMG!! Everybody wants to be bailed out!

    Some might even call it fascism....semantics;) What's seen (media reported) is just the surface. The busy little beavers at the Fed have put the Treasury Department to shame in the numbers department. But hey....nothin's worth nothin' if it ain't free:D Mort

    More Bailouts?

    GM is going to have to do some serious downsizing in order to survive. Handing them a wad of cash is just going to prolong the agony. The Buick and Pontiac nameplates are probably going to be history. Even with some spare change and a little time, it's not going to end well if nobody is...
