I'm sorry Brendan, but I gotta scratch my head over folks that take pictures in public restrooms.

The ice is to keep the place from smelling like pi$$, of course. All the high-end clubs do that -- you musta been partying in a fancy joint. lol...
I'm at the airport hopefully to catch a flight out 4 hours early...

Just did a Google search:
Black & Decker (the corporation) is distinct from "Black & Decker" the brand; the latter is used by more than one corporation. In particular, "Black & Decker"-branded household products in the Americas (but outside of Brazil) are marketed by a division of Applica, a Florida-based corporation much smaller than Black & Decker Corporation.
The Black & Decker Corporation markets its name under various brands:
DeWalt Power Tools
Porter Cable
Delta Machinery
Kwikset
Baldwin
Weiser Lock
Price Pfister
Emhart Teknologies
Oldham Blades
Black and Decker Firestorm

When I was y'alls average age I thought I was too damn tough for anything to actually ever hurt me. I would either kill myself drag racing or on some dumb construction accident because I was taking a short cut that would make me lots of money or kill me. I never thought smoking might ever be a factor in my life that might actually harm me. If you happen to be a smoker quit now or are talking to your children about how stupid it is, point this link out to them, or print it like I did.

DeWalt is owned by Black and Decker, IMO a company that manufactures nothing but junk for the most part. It is a shame they had to buy a company like DeWalt that was well known for quality. Skil is owned by Bosch, a quality company, but the quality of Skil has gone way down since the 60's and 70's. My only remaing Skilsaw was made in 1965 and is irreplaceable as far as I'm concerned. My boy will end up with that. I have never heard the term "screw drive" so can't answer that question. Sorry.

Do you think that glucosamine/chondrotin really works? I keep getting on and off that stuff. Can't decide if it does any good or is just a waste of money.
I can see it now. Joe riding around in the back of a Verizon van asking "Can you hear me now?",and me following the van yelling into my CB.
I can understand it. I've done google searches on things before and ended up with links to FTE. My wife was searching for info about the new F150's and forwarded me links to FTE articles. I think Ken is more worried about the google search than our won internal search. It does seem to make sense moving the closed O/T's into the general forum, but I'm not sure if that part of the forum is filtered from a google search or if it would still get hits.
Oh, and congrats on the grand baby old man.

when I saw the Dr last month he said I am doing well enough to just use the advair...so only $57 a month
Y'all tell me, does this fall in the good, or bad luck category? I took the Vdub which was very low on gas to Costco to fill up for 1.54, just as I am pulling out after putting 13.904 gallons in a 14 gallon tank the attendant pounds on my rear body 1/4 telling me I have a flat tire. Well the tire dept. was only 100 yards away, but all they will do is put the spare on for me. So I just left it there and had my landlady come get me. They will not repair tires not purchased from them, but will put my spare on for free. Hope it has air in it, or will at least hold air. Now I will take the towbar and the PSD and pick it up.

If it's anything like Sam's here, then I agree, they should have fixed it for you if you're a member.

I agree, they were going to change it for free. But they would not even loan me their floor jack and it's in the 40's here and I ain't going to spend very much time outside anyway. The tire has been cut completely around on the inside, by what I am clueless, but if it was not done by the chassis, it must be a road hazard. Right?

You're very welcome, Mark. You've become a great friend here and I'll be damned if something like this is going to prevent me from meeting you someday. Even if I have to convince Lisa come down from IA and we drive our happy asses out to see you...I'm gonna have to meet up with you somehow.
Well guys, got back from Black Magic Diesel. Front brakes were shot, so I went ahead and had him do those since we had it up on the lift. Tranny passed inspection with flying colors. Used fluid had not one speck of metal in it.
Also, we discovered the source of my front end clunk. Bad balljoint on Driver's side...
Pooey.
