Thanks Mike. I feel alot better.


Last time I painted one and it was windy I had alot of stuff that was orange. It washed right off, but I can wait.

Glad you got your dolly done. I may have found a plow for my Chevy, 8', but everyone tells me there is not that much difference between a 7 1/2' and a 8'.

Good morning Steve and Mike.

Does anybody have any suggestions for a Smart phone for a Verizon plan? My current feature phone display gave up the ghost and I'm looking into replacing it. I'm interested in getting a Smart Phone now. Perhaps even a mobile hotspot.

Is Droid worth the price increase? Or, is a Blackberry still pretty darn useful?

Hope your feeling better today Lee! It is actually about 3 hrs 3min drive up there! LOL

Must be at least a 3 hr 33 min drive for Troy, LOL
Sounds like that dolly should be strong enough! Sorry only a 3hr 3min drive! LOL

That would be correct Lee! I believe that would be a difference of about 6" but what do you think? It shouldn't be hard it is divisable by 3.....

Good morning Eric! I have verizon and a Blackberry. When the phone works correctly it does pretty good. But I have been having trouble lately and wish I would have went with the Droid. I know Dave had the Blackberry and switched to the Droid and he loves it and says it is faster on the net also.

My water heater plug is 1 1/8", I believe if it is a water heater with electric option it is 1 1/8", if it is not optional electric it is 7/8".

That must be 3 hr 33 minute drive for you to Pine City Troy?

I hope the wind dies dwon. I want to paint my tractor, my shed is not that air tight.
Not...mine is gas/electric. maybe the gallon size makes a difference? Mine is 6 gallons I believe. Are yours 8 or 10 gallon maybe?

I would say about 3" on each side...

Thanks guys. I'm leaning toward that. My phone died 9 days before I'm upgrade eligible. If I wait, it'll save me $50. Ideally, I wouldn't have to sign on for any additional commitment. But, I think you must go certified pre-owned for that.

I bet if you go in and talk with someone they will let you upgrade. One of our two phones was a month away from upgrade and the let us upgrade without paying extra.
