There's lots of stuff around if you're willing to head east. As mentioned, Coal Creek, Royal Blue, Windrock... There's also lots of gravel/unimproved roads in the Tellico/Citico areas, Nantahala and Chattahoochee National Forests. There's Prentice Cooper just north of Chattanooga. There's the Catoosa WMA area north of Crossville and there's an area I can't remember the name of south of Crossville. The only thing I can think of closer to you is Land Between the Lakes.

Wow. I too read most all his books when I was a kid. Several of them more than once. RIP.

btw... good pun on the thread title. ;)

This. Use quality foil tape. Shockingly, one of the worst possible uses for duct tape is on duct work. If you're working on the dryer vent, clean it out as best you can. Dryer ducts should be rigid metal pipe. Small sections of the flexible metal stuff are ok to fit odd joints, but don't use it for the full length. DO NOT use that nylon crap they sell at the box stores. As you well know, lint is an excellent fire starter. You might be surprised to learn how many houses are destroyed by fires caused by blocked or incorrectly installed dryer ducts. Once it starts burning, it gets real hot real fast and it very difficult to extinguish before it gets out of hand. As for other such problems, google and youtube are your friend for instructions. Ebay is your friend for parts. Dryers are pretty simple. Just be wary of sharp edges when you get things apart. It's almost impossible to not cut yourself while fiddling with all that sheet metal. Edit... and yes, UNPLUG IT! Getting hit with 220 VAC isn't a great deal of fun, AMHIK...

This isn't so much about what I'm listening to, but how... A week or so ago, I happened across an old mp3 player I bought for my wife probably 10 years ago. She used it for a year or so, then quit and it's been sitting since. For whatever reason, my garage is a black hole for radio waves and the radio I've got will only pick up 1 station that I like. The radio in the garage has an RCA auxillary input, so I had the bright idea to load up the mp3 player with my preferred music and plug it in. No staticy radio reception, no listening to the same 4 songs by the same 20 or so artists on endless loop. After much consternation, I finally coaxed my new PC to talk to the win XP era mp3 player. It literally took being plugged in for 2 days for the player to gain enough juice to turn on and function. When it finally did get charged, I was surprised that it worked just fine and had retained all the songs in it memory, which was encouraging. I removed her music, loaded it up with mine, and viola! Worked like a charm. I spent most of the day sunday working in the garage building a shelf and servicing the brakes on the wife's minivan. It was nice that my only source of frustration was two galled studs courtesy of the idiots at the tire store, rather than having heard the same Skynrd song 3 times before lunch.

Electricity is pretty cheap here. Supplement with a wood burning stove and you'll be in the sweet spot.

Ok trickynicky, where's that pic? You know which one...

Sadly, I bet few people get that pun.

Just goes to show that most criminals really are cowards. At the first sign of opposition, they scatter like roaches when the light comes on.

I have a cousin and her family who lived in Chesley, near Owen Sound for many years. Beautiful country around there. LOTS of snow in the winter!

I'm a rider and I can't imagine this happening. I too would've mashed a few bikes and gotten the hell outa dodge. Heading into the city was stupid, but getting cornered and attacked like that... it would've been ugly. This illustrates a couple points... 1) Mob mentality takes over real fast, and 2) When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

We're headed to Edisto Island shortly. Never been there before, but have been around the Charleston area several times. We love good seafood, any suggestions on where to find some? Bear in mind that we have 2 "very active" young'uns who aren't known for their ability to sit still long enough to endure a meal at a 4-star type restaurant. Any other suggestions of things to do or places to go (or not do/go) are appreciated.

Cool. Not sure if we'll make it, but I'll keep it in mind.

Email I received from Senator Corker Friday

I got the same letter too. At least the intern that wrote the program that generates the auto-response did it correctly. -
Compression fittings are normally used on the line that runs from the hot water line to the kitchen sink over to the dishwasher. That line can be copper, plastic, or could be a braided hose. You'd use compression fittings on the copper or plastic but you may need an adapter if its a braided hose, depending on what kind of fittings are on it.

Question for legal eagles or someone who has experienced something like this.

Depends on who wrote the will. If done by a thoughtful attorney and properly notarized and such, it'd be pretty air tight. If done by a hack and not notarized, could easily be fought in court by the family. -
Welcome! As a person who's spent a significant amount of time in the Auburn Hills, Rochester Hills, and Sterling Heights areas, I think you'll find Knoxville to be a noticeable improvement. As for the snow thing... Yanks always tell us that they know how to drive in the snow. Then we pull them out of the ditch. ;) We don't get snow, we get ice. And it's flat in MI, there's hardly a flat spot here. Having done both, driving in the snow in MI is completely different from here.

What he said.... if it's kept in the garage, the tires will last much longer. Using stuff like Armor All protectant will also help prevent the sun's UV radiation from breaking down the rubber. When they start to develop surface cracks and dry rot, its time to think about replacement them regardless of tread wear. I'm in the market for some new trailer tires for that exact reason.

Interesting that this article is from 3 years ago. And more interesting (to me at least) that's written by David Feherty (the golf announcer) whom I thoroughly enjoy listening to. -
Sorry if I sound like as smart arse, but I'm completely serious. Buy 1 box of whatever variety you can find, where ever you can find it. Try them and see which works best. Some may not cycle, some may have terrible groups, some may be really dirty, ... Then again, you may not notice much difference in any of them. There's only 1 way to find out.

That's a darn big knife. I've always though the kukri style knives just look mean. Nice tomahawk too. Wish I could find time to make such things.
