But if he puts a rail on it - they will ban it is 17 states and the ATF will classify it as a destructive device.

Me and some friends built a smoker out of cinder blocks that we found in the woods. Threw some ribs on it for a few hours and had a solid dinner that night. One of the best spring breaks I had.

No microwave, no problem

So you crave late night kasekrainer but dont want all the fat/carb load just before sleep. You wake up in the morning and realize the Europeans are not fond of placing microwave in every hotel rooms. Cold kasekrainer is not that appetizing, so what to do?

Quick review of conduction and convection and alles klar!
You use the resealable walnut bag to keep the wurst in while running sclading hot water in the sink.

Hmmmmm lecker!

Not redneck. Not SF.

But apparently if you keep a couple of these in your vehicle you can give a stranded motorist a jump.

Waiting for another company out of Tucson for, hopefully, next week. The Kohler only had 416 hours on it and most of that was the weekly exercise and weekly half hour to pump water.

Can't recommend the Kohler 8RESV generator.

We have a Kohler 14KW model, and other than battery related issues, and occasional helpers pushing buttons, it has been very reliable.

That's why I was specific with the model number. Apparently, they were trying to go to a more verticle look to mimic an A/C unit and they didn't get it right, yet. The repair guys that are next in line have dealt with this before and say that they have a permanent fix. We'll see.

So my brother bought a 2002 Toyota 4 runner for my nephew, he didn't notice until the other day it doesn't have an antenna. (can't even remember the last time a car had one!) Since the radio seems to be working just fine he wanted to cover it somehow, to keep out rain dirt etc.

He used a steel casing from a 7.62 x 39 round and coated the bottom with some leak seal to create a quasi gasket. (dipped and dried a few times)

Voila!

If that thing was a fired case, it is going to rust like you wouldn't believe.

Just my .02, as always, YMMV.
