Drewper, the American Cherry and the Black Walnut are equals (on average) as far as density and r-value. Black Walnut is a bit more durable / harder, but the same density. Our Western Fiddleback maple is also in the same range. The Myrtle is heavier, denser and lower r-value than the other...

This is off subject, but a reel (yes, I said reel) slot machine was a lot more fun, when there was a handle, and a mechanical buzz, and wheels spinnn- nnn- nning, and actual coins (or tokens) clanking into a noisy tray... Even if it wasn't your tray, that sound of a 'pay off' isn't the same when...

Madcap, what's the deal, remove the sponsons and fly like a non amphibious craft? Lighter weight, less drag, better performance? Strange...

Please remember the rules, "Topics concerning the cultivation of cannabis are not permitted." Of course we won't be able to use your photo either. Was trying to help with your Petunias... no need for details. ;) Happy 420th FC post. :party:

E_E that's a nice shot. Reminds me of the guard's chant in Wiz of Oz. Looks like Oldfart is ready for an early holiday season. Wonder how early we will see that season start this year? Wow, that engine is cool, they always fascinate me... Placetime, I saw something similar in Brookings, OR...

I'll consider one of those an entry... ;) BTW ( for others), that is not a standard PD issue aroma cup... just saying... we use a 1/2" copper fitting, less restriction of airflow... the larger cup (shown) will work fine... +++ Anybody notice 'brass screens' in the pic? Post #8966 . And WTF...

Yes Bcleez, that's an interesting breakdown... keeping in mind that 60K in 1930 was a fortune, 1980 not so much so... 21% (for rich man in those days) vs. 54% (for a middle class man in 1980).

The story behind the Gripper model: Back in 2005 I used a piece of Myrtle that was a bit too fat and not so easy for Pammy to grip so I used Dremmel tool to gouge out a finger recess... I've turned a few like this for folks with grip issues. Available only in Fiddle-back Maple. It's a $10...

I'm no Ludite. Well, maybe somedays.... So what I am trying to show is... what does it take to live a decent life? In US or anywhere... I can only use examples of what I have lived through. Maybe some reference to my Aunts and Uncles WW2, a few ideas of what my WW1 relatives lived through, a...

No offense... right back..

I don't mind that critique at all... Response in a minute. +++ I was born 1956 if you can't figure 1972 and 16 years old. So, I have no '50s nostalgia. +++ I know about working conditions in that era, you may read about them. That is why, I am trying in this thread, to expose the...

Wat says, "It only seem to hold true for the life essentials though..." and I agree 100% +/- a few points ( ;) ) ... But, I think that's the point of the 'Bread Standard'. Essentials for those that are at the point, where the cost of 'essentials' is critical. When the hippie called, 'cash...

I think that's why a loaf of white sandwich bread (16 oz.) is a good indicator, you can't really fudge much. maybe you can think of another indicator, but this is just used as an example. I agree, and for many years now I notice smaller portions in addition to cheaper ingredients in many...

Column 1 = year Column 2 = US Federal Minimum Wage Column 3 =1996 Dollars...adjusted for inflation using the CPI-U (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers). 1965 1.25 6.23 1993 4.25 4.61 1966 1.25 6.05 1994 4.25 4.50 1967 1.40 6.58 1995 4.25 4.38 1968 1.60...

Wow ! ! ! So glad everyone is OK... :cool:

Money is Funny... long ago known as 'Bread, man...' . :cool: I'm gonna give you $100 . . . (of course this is fiction, but the numbers remain the same, for the . ...) So you start with $100 or $1000 or whatever... Today they announced an increase in the market of 4%... after what ??? Just...

Has anybody considered a completely fractured candidate system. How about a combined run-off? Just asking why not? In line with today's trends... Eliminations... > > > any ideas? We have a crazy system today, why not go GONZO ? Stand on a crate and see what happens...

EDIT: ^^^ :lol: Maybe I have it backwards? :cool: Back to regular scheduled programing ... +++ Back to Roseanne, it has taken me about 10 hours to figure out this wasn't Rosie O' Donel (?) ... mental crossed wires... Anyway her (Roseanne's) comments are in line with her personality. Like...

Lwien, I think you are right on most counts. Hillary seems to be keeping a low profile through this downgrade, which is certainly an international situation. Russia and China and big (mid-East oil). She could well be positioning herself as an opponent to Obama, which would be fine with me, but...
