    Fridge trouble

    Ahh... maybe turn up the tempature of the fridge may help? I dont mean to 50 degrees but set it at a temp that will keep food say 34 degrees. I simply mean that if you have it set on such a low temp and it is humid out, you will get the frost that will melt when it turned off. In addition to...

    Battle of the bulbs

    Mercury is only one component that we should be concerned about. The issues surrounding the debate are no brainer for the “Global Warming†crowd, the reduction of the carbon input by changing the bulb is the right thing to do. Mind you that there is actual proof of an electricity savings...

    Involved with Clinton for President? Be Careful...

    RE: Involved with Clinton for President? Be Carefu Exactly t-hawk. I am trying to find out why people think she is passive when they do a very good job of keeping disagreements quiet. When Powel left, he started to speak up but looking back, he didn't say much about his work or disagreeing...

    The union scam

    I heard about a week ago that the house is going to vote on the “Employee Free Choice Actâ€, which on the surface sounds like a good thing but regardless how you look at it, it is a very bad thing. I know how this all works and what laws are to followed, many times the union (UAW is really...

    Building a C-Unit

    I think that anyone who wants to build a C unit, look at Phil's. It is not for everyone, but it illustrates the different componets and how it fits together as a truck than many others that I have seen. The problem with having a C unit will be a saturation of the fleet with this size. But...
