  1. A+ for design, but how does it sound?
  2. Watched Milo rescue what we assume was a waterlogged field mouse of some sort. We just happened to wander into Stretch's garden and Milo miraculously spotted what he first thought was a mole, in a PVC drain pipe. He was barely able to keep his head above water. No telling how long he was trapped in that pipe. Assuming he fell in while looking for a drink. Milo was able to grasp him with some kitchen tongs Stretch grabbed. He set him in a bushy area to hopefully regain his strength and resume his/her field mouse duties.
  3. Greg, it's common knowledge that the Yeti prefers fermented Yak milk. However, the Sasquatch is a lover of Red wines, preferably with truffles and fiddleback ferns on the side.
  4. No fairies envolved except the one eating. Brisket at Stretch's.
  5. It's too much friction. Your chances of burning up the motor are high. It turns out that there are some speed bore auger bits...
  6. I'm almost completely battery powered these days, but I keep a big corded drill for some tasks. Mostly mixing grout and such, but also for boring holes. This is the one I own. It's around $215. You could do as many people do... Buy one at Home Depot, be careful with the packaging, use the drill, box it back up and return it. Tell them it didn't work well for what you need.
  7. Jeff is absolutely right. An auger bit will not only drill better and faster, but it will be more efficient for the driver as well. However, an impact driver will not work with a standard auger bit, and I don't think they make a speed bore connection on an auger bit. But IMO a drill is the better tool for that job. An impact is great for many tasks, but drilling is better left to a drill.
  8. I remember thinking as a kid that the Countach must be really aerodynamic, only to find out later it was a brick, by today's standards anyway. 0.42
  9. I'm very happy to see that your house is LGBTQ positive. Fly the flag!
  10. It's pretty damned good!
  11. That's what happens when you let a 7 year old design a truck.
  12. Agreed. I'm so tired of Grey and Silver. The dream edition has a Eureka Gold that's kind of nice. I wasn't very enamored with the styling when I first saw it, but it's growing on me. Even if it does remind me of a modern Oldsmobile. I also did not like the styling of the Mercedes EQS, but after seeing one up close, it's much better in person. Both have a 0.2 drag coefficient. Crazy good.
  13. Mmmm, salmon! As for me... Simplicity. Croissant, apple and Swiss cheese.
  14. RIP Ray.
  15. Agreed, they are the best. Milo and I bought a few dozen when there. Believe it or not, Anchorage has a decent selection of bagel bakeries, though not as good as an NYC bagel, a pretty decent second place. South Texas was a bagel desert. But more doughnuts than can be believed.
  16. I'd forgotten about this case. I was in Texas, going to college when it happened. But for me it was overshadowed by what was known as the Matamoros murders. Four students from the same college I went to went missing. Later their bodies were found in Matamoros, Mexico. That border town was about 1/4 mile from my college, and students regularly went across. The story gets pretty gruesome and involves Santaria practices.
  17. I've just never thought of chocolate moose as anything special. I'm more of a custard man.
  18. I call that the Kardashian conundrum.
  19. That's an interesting design for sure. Those designs generally tend to look unfinished from the side or back view, and the Valchromat would go a long way to correcting that.
  20. I don't know how it glues up. I believe it is compressed with epoxy, so it may need to be glued together with epoxy. But then it's just a matter of clear coating, or no coat for a flat finish.
  21. While I do prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate, I do prefer European milk chocolate. Usually Lindt. I'm not a fan of local Ghirardelli at all.
  22. Have a phenomenal day! I know that it's your day, but if you could possibly film yourself being injured, it'd really make it a special day for everyone.
  23. Must resist the sexual inuindos in that statement. Having great difficulty!
  24. I will volunteer to do a long term test/review for you, should you choose to purchase and have sent to me.
