    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    This the one we're talking about? "The lightweight superinsulator for warmth and protection. Made of same materials developed for NASA/Apollo space missions. Reflects and retains up to 90% of radiated body heat. Compact, durable, flexible even in sub-freezing temperature. Windproof...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    Wow, that looks perfect. Good size, grommets all the way around, sturdy yet still looks light-weight. You da man.

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    I'm sure when she's officially nominated, Pandora's box will open and we'll see what a collectivist and anti-Constitutionalist she is. Until then, we can only speculate based on what we see. My cousin Johnny always wanted to go to the quarry and jump off some of the rockpiles. But then again...

    A Question for Van Drivers?

    When I started in a van, I was surprised at how less fatiguing it is, how much more alert and comfortable I was after a long drive as opposed to a TT or ST. Does your van have reclining seats? I've never had to resort to that, but mine do recline fully. I'd do it if I had to. As far as...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    Well, I would think shower curtain because it's plasticized. I would think it would be better at separating one area from another. If you hold up a section of blanket, even a thick one, between you and a fan, you can still feel some breeze. If you do the same with a shower curtain, the breeze...

    two ideas for better cooling of the CV

    And it doesn't, uh, "walk off" on its own, that is to say, with a little help? I'm surprised. Yeah, no question having it on the outside would be more efficient at keeping heat out.

    Well, I dunno. I don't know anything about photoshop, and the built-in photo editing app in Windoze no longer has a sharpening function. If there's a way to do it, I don't know about it. I just don't know anything about photo editing. I stumbled on the way to lighten in pretty much by accident.

    Prepare for the I-75 crawl

    You can re-live those times. Just try to drive into Chicago the day before Thanksgiving.

    Would A Real Socialist Privatize NASA?

    This is starting to sound like his health care program. Make/keep it private, on the surface, but regulate it so heavily that no profit can be made and it won't work, then conclude that capitalism doesn't work and nationalize it. Sounds like a plan, doesn't it?

    Buicks vs CMV's

    Hmmm...I do believe somebody has cut to the heart of the matter.

    Sneaking a lesbian onto the Supreme Court

    Somebody above made a good point in regard to this, namely, that homosexuality is, whether you're pro- or con, a deviant preference. And perhaps that someone who is a deviant might have rather heterodox views on the Constitution and rule of law. So that's the potential problem there. Well...

    So what do you do to secure it from blowing away or being stolen? Does it wrap around the door posts and then you close the doors on it?

    Found a way to brighten it, but it's still pretty fuzzy. So still looking for a way to sharpen it.

    My avatar is barely visible. Too dark. Anyone know a way someone who's never done anything with graphics can lighten it and maybe sharpen it? I know of photoshop, of course, but the tutorials I've read sound seriously complicated. I've searched for a built-in program in Windows but haven't...

    Goodbye Obama, Hello Ron Paul

    I'm not familiar with everybody you listed, but Bachman, Gingrich, and Palin are RINO neocons, and iirc, so is Haley Barbour. In other words, no change.

    Good riddance to Justice Stevens

    Remember, conservative is a relative term. Those "conservatives" you mention, well, most of them anyway, are to the left of what we'd have called left just a few decades ago. JFK was to the right of people we consider on the right end of the spectrum today, yet, at the time, he was seen as a...

    Ideas, anyone?

    I have yet to haul a 55 gal drum, but I've been thinking about how I'd do it. Thing is, I don't have E-track; I just have the built-in securement that comes standard in a Chevy Express. So I was thinking of using 3 straps, each one hooked on one end, wrapped around the drum in the middle, and...

    Texas cops and trucks

    It's Wrong (capital W) for any government agent or employee to stop anyone, anytime, under any circumstances absent probable cause. No car, truck, boat, pedestrian, someone on horseback, etc. can be stopped without probable cause. Of course, it happens all the time and will continue. But...
