So the Raiders played overseas the other day. It seams that they took the boat home. Apparently they had to because they couldn't get anywhere in the air or on the ground! P.S. This should cheer Raider up! FFI - Aka Matt Crum

Now that there is downright good!

Sorry I've got to disagree, I didn't think that it was even remotely entertaining. Extra tacky in that 9 out of 10 seemed to be fishing with Zebco's and bobbers.

Why mess with it? They are not supposed to be selling you a noisy reel and it is not your job to solve their quality problem. I have a prev series Curado that is very noisy during the cast. I sent it to Shimano for warranty and it came back with the same noise that I sent it in with. I'd mark it somehow and would have Cabela's provide a new one.

Even if you don't use it you should plan on at least $30 / day for food. Undoubtedly you will probably be eating some with your hosts. . As part of that you you should offer to chip in on the food bill. If they refuse so be it. At least one night you ought to buy either a meal out for the family or have pizzas brought in. If your schedule requires you to be eating at an airport take into account that airports are expensive, even to eat a sandwich. You can save a few bucks at the airport on porter check in / checked baggage tips. Small airports don't always have them but bigger airports do. You can go to the porter out on the curb or you can walk past them and go walk 40ft beyond them right to the ticket counter yourself and do the same thing. No offense to anyone but using the porter and tipping them $5 -$10 is one of the silliest things I've heard of. You hand them money to give you your ticket and give them your bags. They take your bags 40ft away to the same spot that you would have put your bags yourself. Beyond that set a budget for entertainment, gas help etc.

Real men don't eat Nutella! Banish him to Siberia with the rest. Just razzin ya FFI

This is the American way and the only way.

I need one as well. I've gone to my local lake from the bank several times. I've been meaning to go to my 1hr away honey hole with the boat but ever since the tornado hit I just haven't had the zest to do it. No big deal, mainly just busy. I'll get there it will just take a while yet.

I say put out a bunch of Taco Bell, sleep in and follow the droppings in the morning = problem solved!

So out of couriosity just what does a bicep look like? Lol

I thought for sure that most people on this forum would rip it. Just goes to show you that can you learn something new every day.

Although maybe good advice I think that some might be jumping to conclusions. To do it right you probably really need to know about your soil. A hint might be what you can grow. Most tomatoes are acidic. I'm not sure about the plants themselves but maybe your soil has something that is causing a problem. Around here ag offices will test your soil ph level for free (I've never actually done it). I believe that you can also buy inexpensive test kits at garden centers or poss hardware chains. Pulling off the testing might be easier said than done. As some said, Miracle grow might be an easy fix but with your soil being so far out of whack what you are adding via the Miracle Grow might have a higher concentration in it of what your soil already has too much of(?) Once you figure out what your soil really needs then you just hand rake in whatever supplement your soil needs. I cannot remember what all is available and what does what but several inexpensive additives are sold in typical garden centers. I know that blood meal is one additive (not sure whether it raises or lowers PH), lime is another I cannot remember the others. They are often sold in bags like top soil. Let us know how you come out. FFI

P.s. I checked online and they have the combo but most appear to be soft. This was more like a lightly padded backboard. I think that would force better contact with the muscles. Then again a soft one would potentially have more surface contact so which is better is Tbd.

If you can find a heating pad that also has built in vibration I have found that to be the ticket. My grandmother had one and one time I went from crawling on my knees to playing basketball in an hour. (Yes I was a LOT younger then!) lol I was always going to have her write me in for that in her will but never got around to it. If I could find one now I'd probably buy one for peace of mind. When I have checked before all they had was heated ones. That was some time ago and before the internet's current state of prominence.

Quote of the year [quote name="K_Mac" post="1535074" timestamp="1401139829" Raider; being normal is not something you're ever going to achieve.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to put this thread behind us.

McDonalds old school (the originals) greasy French fries. (From the 60's)

I'm not positive but I think that their is still a Spudnuts in Galesburg IL. When I lived in the QC's their was a Spudnuts there 20yrs ago or so.

If you are going to invest in protection you could probably protect the entire house for less than the $300. The appliance warranties might or might not have so many loopholes and or deductibles that they are not practical?

Charcoal all the way. I had it until the tornado took it away. When we went to replace it we couldn't find one that looked decent. The new ones are butt ugly. The wife was involved or it might have been a different decision. I think that the gas grill is sort of a pain to clean on those burner covers. When you are about to run out of charcoal you know in advance, tank gas not so much. If I had a gas choice I'd go with natural gas. Steaks, burgers, chicken, dogs they're all good.

Good comeback (laugh)

No Raul that was back in Early March.

On this theme... People with fancier boats tend to name them. As I have fallen out my boat twice I'm thinking of naming it. "Man overboard" I'm also going to paint a little life jacket next to it! It is a combination of my prowess for falling in and as it is on a beat up ol john boat sort of sarcasm to the fancy folks.

Btw some great advice Sam.

So the question is when the go to kick you off the social site will the send a ladle wielding person to do it in person?
