    My restored M1 Garand. Pics

    Some of you may have know but my Rifle was flooded back in Katrina. It's been sitting in a bag of oil for awhile and sent it off to DGR in January. I got it back a couple weeks ago and it was an amazing transformation. This is what was sent to DGR: And this is what he sent back...

    Place to "invest" emergency money?

    I've got some emergency money just sitting in a savings account earing really bad interest rate (.5%). Was wanting to find a place to put it that it earns more interest but be able to still get to it easily if I need it. What are some good options where I can keep it to earn more interest...

    Do not use a duffel bag for your carry detail kit...

    I had a bottle of dressing break in my kit today and it covered everything in my kit and soaked through the bag too. Arghh... Washing all my towels now and all my bottles, extension cord, and some other tools have a nice coat of dressing on them. Glad it was the dressing and not something...

    The $3 Car Wash v. Self-Serve Car Washes

    This is for those dedicated Autopians who live in apartments that you can't wash your car at. If I can do this on a F-150, then it should be easy to pull it off on a car. Whenever I mention I go to a self-serve car wash my friend will always say, "It costs me $10 to wash my car." Now, I...

    Pads for Hand Polishing

    I haven't done this in awhile as I've been using DeWalt Orbital but I'm wanting some nice applicator pads for hand polishing. I know the buffer is quicker but when I work on my own truck I like to enjoy the time... I'll save the buffer for the customer's vehicles. I've gotten some pads from...

    Cooking at Higher altitudes

    Well, I'm use to cooking down here at 6 feet below sea level but I'm going on a trip to colorado for a family reunion. They know I cook and I'm probably going to be having to do some meals. Mostly just for my close family (5-9 people) but maybe one or two dinners of 40 people. It's suppose to be...

    Need ideas... constant water drips

    Some of you may have seen my thread about my new truck. I've got the flareside bed on this truck and it has the tie downs on the outside of the bed and they constantly drop water after I wash my truck (2nd time so far and I've had it four days :D ). I've tried blowing them out with my air...

    Truck Bedcovers

    Having a heck of a time getting good opinions on bedcovers. I have a 05 f-150 reg cab flareside and I'm not sure what bedcover I want to go with. My main thing is when it's sealed up and I hit hard rain or wash the truck I don't want it to leak that badly. Having a locking bedcover isn't...

    Didn't total my truck but fixed it... Did a good job. Before & After pics

    Well. Here's what it looked like at the scene of the accident a couple weeks ago.... Took a lot of damage as you can see but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what they had done to it. And here is what they did with it. Did a good job I feel. :grinno: :p...

    Totaled the truck

    Added Pics! Was on the interstate and was changing lanes to get to my exit. I looked right and when I looked left the car in my lane was on his brakes hard and about 10ft from me... my thought was, "****, I'm going too fast. I'm going to hit it." Afterwards he said someone cut him off and he...

    Minors

    I was just wonder how valuable are minors? I'm going to be getting a minor in Chemistry as part of my degree but I can also get a minor in Math and a minor in Environmental Engineering pretty easily. Math would be the addition of four more courses (Calc III and two 3k level courses and...

    Speed Reading

    Anyone here ever done or know anything about these courses? I remember when I was in High School taking an ACT prep course some kid in there and his brother went away to one of the two week long ones. They both finished the reading section of that test like 10 mins before everyone else and...

    Napster To-go

    Anyone use this or Napster? I got a free mp3 player and a year free of Napster (actually more like 7 months) and it's currently only $5 to upgrade to Napster to-go so I did. I'm really thinking this might be the future of music. Stealing music off the internet is great but I rarely get 300...

    Vac finally gave out...

    My wet/dry vac finally gave out today... Has been making a funny noise for a couple weeks and today it started to have a really funny, burning smell coming out of it. Almost 3 years of service I think is pretty good though. It was only a 3.5hp and now it's time to upgrade. What size vac do...

    Poorboy's EX-P

    With my last order from Poorboy I ended up getting a quart of his EX-P since I've heard so much about it. I have to say, it's one of the easiest waxes to buff off that I have EVER used. It's simply amazing. For those who have used P21S or S100, it's even easier than those waxes! So far I've...
