    Pistol sale - need cash

    I had an expensive spring and need some cash to cover the bills since OT was cancelled, so I'm putting a few pistols up on the block. If you're a Kansas resident with no legal impediment to you owning a firearm, I can do a face to face sale -- sales to anyone else will have to go through an FFL...

    snow day!

    snow day today - governor called off all non-essential state employees in and around Topeka, so no commute today. :D that means I get to use the tractor to dig out the driveway, build a sled hill, etc... and justify my heavy oilskin coat!

    simple H1N1 precautions

    got this in an email, but it makes enough sense I'm sharing the core concepts. (left out the "forward to" and other references) The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in...

    The Staffordshire Hoard

    For history buffs: In July, in Staffordshire England, a guy with a metal detector found a Viking (OK, more likely Saxon) burial hoard that puts the Sutton-Hoo find to shame in a farmer's field. If British treasure laws are found to apply (rather than plain old salvage law, I suspect), the hoard...

    HR 2749 "Food Safety" act

    As of the time of this email, there has not been a vote. Please contact your congressman. se.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml this is a bit scary -- $1000 license (annual fee) plus $500 per site per year, just to be able to handle food items commercially, with no provision for small...

    honeywell wind generator?

    If this is a real product and actually comes out when predicted at the price point being proposed, it could be a good deal. Even if it's not real at the moment, it's a good idea and i may have to think on it some, as the engineering doesn't look that tough...

    AWS is weird stuff

    Picked up a used Craftsman 43" all wheel steer mower a couple weekends ago. Toasted the belt in 5 minutes. Took it to my ex-landlord as he spends a couple months a year fixing mowers and he found out when they put the new belt on before selling it to me, they forgot to reset the tension...

    free trip to eurpoe

    A young blond woman from St. Louis was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the Mississippi River . She went down to the levee and was about to leap into the frigid water when Mike saw her teetering on the edge of the water, crying. He took pity on her and said...

    new beer time: Leinenkugels Bock

    yup - it's got that quintessinal bockishness to it. flavorful without a strong hoppy bitterness to the back edge. a bit more body than Shiner Bock, but not too heavy or sweet. so, all in all a really horrible beer - you're much better off drinking that watered down silver bullet nastiness...

    emergency lighting

    at the office we have hard wired emergency lighting for power outages - but it's not cheap. Just got an email from Lee Valley tools (woodworking supplies) and they have a unit that plugs into the wall and has a run time of 20-40 hours for a reasonble price...

    so this is the second thing I see this morning when I get up... (and no hangover!) seems like a good way to start the year.
