ironbut Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 Wow, I've never owned either of those classics! Goes to show that there's still plenty of vinyl jewels out there. You just have to know which rocks to look under! Quote
shellylh Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Tim put a bunch of coffee grounds down the garbage disposal tonight and we got a big clog in our kitchen sink. Fun. After checking the trap and plunging (forgetting about the hose to the dishwasher... duh) was unsuccessful, I went to the internet and found out about backing soda and vinegar. That seems to have fixed everything (at least for now). Also, hubby is going out of town tomorrow morning which leaves me to deal with the problem if it continues. Sigh. Quote
agile_one Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Shelly ... if you need further help with your drains, ask Al for Vlad The Impaler's number. Quote
Augsburger Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Shelly, try pouring a big pot of boiling water slowly down the drain, sometimes dish soap and food residue combines in a greasy sludge which will collect at a joint and form an obstacle. Quote
Absorbine_Sr Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Shelly ... if you need further help with your drains, ask Al for Vlad The Impaler's number. Vlad kicks ass and should be on everyone's speed dial for clogs of all kinds. Quote

Dreadhead Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Filled out our taxes on TurboTax but have not submitted yet because I'm waiting on some information. Barring some horrific error on my part we'll get a nice nest egg to cover the 20% pay cut I'll receive if sequestration happens. Edited February 10, 2013 by Dreadhead Quote
shellylh Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 ImageUploadedByTapatalk1360530488.205611.jpgMade this for my birthday: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2008/08/chocolate-peanut-butter-cake/ Happy early birthday. That looks very yummy. It should go well with whiskey. Shelly, try pouring a big pot of boiling water slowly down the drain, sometimes dish soap and food residue combines in a greasy sludge which will collect at a joint and form an obstacle. This is what I did (after using the baking soda and vinegar). After doing BS+V and boiling hot water twice, it starting draining again! I ran the dishwasher today and everything was fine. So I think I am ok. Still going to go out and buy a snake today (for the future). I don't know why we don't already own one. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Because they're like snow blowers and generators -- you hardly ever need them. For people like me, they have cheap little plastic disposable $1.99 jobs. I wish I could find them (I had a couple from when I had long hair), as I have a sink that doesn't drain quickly enough for my liking since I moved. Quote
MexicanDragon Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 It was a couple days ago, but I was asked to be on the local Mensa Scholarship committee. I get to pour through a bunch of essays to help decide which smart (ass) little kid gets some cash for learnin' and whatnot. Hope there is some interesting reading in there. **BRENT** Quote
Dreadhead Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 Cool Brent. Sounds interesting. Quote
tyrion Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Shoot these today for first time: Second target at 7 yards; Quote
morphsci Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Posted February 16, 2013 Noice! Damn, I need to get out to the range. Quote
boomana Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Noice! Damn, I need to get out to the range. X2. I've been sick. Visiting mom has been sick. Have roof problems. Been working too much. Blech. Quote
tyrion Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Vicki, sorry to hear about you being sick, the roof and work. Didn't you have your roof down not long ago? Finished skeet shooting for first time. First round, shot lefty because I thought it felt more comfortable, hit one or two. Second round shot righty and hot 7 or 8. I had a lot of fun and think there may be a shot gun in my future. Quote
raffy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Noice! Damn, I need to get out to the range. X2. I've been sick. Visiting mom has been sick. Have roof problems. Been working too much. Blech. Blech indeed Vicki. I've been sick too and working a little too much for my taste. Hopefully I'll feel decent enough to ride in some capacity tomorrow. And Mike, I need to go the the range too, haven't shot a gun since I sold you my Sig. Still have the Kahr and the HK though. Quote
tyrion Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Next time I'm up by you we can go to Gander Mountain and shoot or next time you are down here. A new range is opening called Nexus Shooting not far from the house and they are building quite a facility. Quote

Need to get the guns set up for the competition season. Quote
tyrion Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Jeff, what kind of competition are you doing? Waiting for Grace Potter and the Nocturnals to take the stage. Quote
