  1. I suppose the hitchhiking germs from the bed of your S-10 is just a bonus, right?
  2. An interesting sidenote: Spirit came into existence when Boeing Military was pulled out of Wichita.
  3. Good luck, Bruin. I’m sending all the mojo I can spare your way.
  4. I'm not a polished woodworker with lots of equipment but I am involved with a machine shop and equipment for metal working. Always get the next size bigger if you have the floor space and $$$ to do so.

    Musta been a bad bitch.
  6. County opened N/S road last night but it has drifted shut already. -2 and 25 mph winds. Doesn’t compare to @Burt but it’s about as bad as it ever gets here.
  7. Yeah, but didn't you hear? There are 3 1/2 million people affected by this alert! 3 1/2 MILLION!!
  8. How’s you make it through the blizzard? You likely had much higher winds than we had. I saw reports from GC of 60+mph.
  9. My tenant just opened my lane with his skidsteer. It’s nice to be able to get out but I kinda liked being locked in. There was one drift where the lane drops down to the garage that was probably 4’ deep. I’ve been here 30 years and it’s the first time I’ve seen that. Lord knows we need moisture but I like it better when it’s rain. I forget, Kenny, you in western Kansas, Colorado or Nebraska?
  10. We will be about 10 degrees warmer. Come on down.
  11. How’s it going up your way. We had our second 10”er overnight but this one has wind. Gusts to 40mph. My lane is drifted shut and the power has been off since 5:00am. We have the generator keeping the furnace running but I only have 5 gallons of reserve gas. Evergy says we’ll get power back today but we’ll see. Worst case, I’ll have to have a buddy bring me some fuel. Power is still on in town.
  12. That means "who gutted the chicken?" for you non-French speakers.
  13. I almost posted this video of Echoes. Of the many that are on Youtube, this is the best.
  14. What happens to bad rainbows? they go to prism. but it’s a light sentence.
  15. Not my enemy. It beats shitting in the shower
  16. We spent last week in Santa Fe doing a combo Thanksgiving/Christmas with our kids. We stayed at the Inn of the Governors and every room had artwork from the same artist in it. I'm not sure what we did to deserve the "Padre molesting a monkey with a feather" room, but that's what we were given.
  17. Lower pressure is generally how we know it's time to replace the filter. It goes along fine until one day it is noticeably down. A quick trip to the basement and all is right in the world again.
  18. These are the shit for removing that shit smell. The hardest part of installation is removing the passive anode from the tank. It's like they weld those things in.
  19. Yes, it's still going. Still a pretty good place to eat or so I've been told. I haven't been in there in a couple years so I can't speak to its quality nowadays. Not too surprising to see the picture of the sports bar on a Friday. I'm sure it's a different story on a Saturday and especially so on a Sunday. Folks love their Chiefs around here and those that don't, love their Cowboys.
  20. That would probably be better but the WHF cost less than $75 and I installed it myself. The wife can change filters by herself and with her stiff fingers from RA that's no small thing. We are on our 2nd unit in 30 years and we get a years worth of filters for under $100 when we buy in bulk. It is a really simple system that does a great job.
  21. Doodah Diner for breakfast. Fizzburger for lunch and Chester’s for a good steak dinner. the Wichita Aviation Museum by McConnell AFB is good and the B-29 “Doc” has a hangar out at the airport. OldTown has a number of bars and eating places and the Museum of World Treasures. It’s a wide ranging display of local collectors stuff. Everything from Egyptology to Civil War to fossils and geology. The Delano district west of the river has several good places to eat and drink. The All Indian Center is worth a look and at nightfall they light the torch of “The Keeper Of The Plains” statue at the confluence of the Little Arkansas and Arkansas rivers. That should give you enough places to google and explore. If you have any specific questions, I’ll answer what I can. It’s not a complete wasteland, we get by.
  22. I have a Culligan whole house filter on my well system. It has cylindrical canisters that I change every month. It is used mostly to trap sediment that gets pumped to the house and does a good job of that. The filters are mud coated when removed. I still have a full range of Culligan tanks that follow this filter to get sulphur and other minerals out of the water before it is sent to the softener. The water is unusable without all of this in my case. YMMV.

  24. Pretty good show. My kids were born during the Yankees playoff series in ‘76 and ‘78 (fuck the Yankees) so I spent equal time laughing and crying during the show. It brought back a ton of memories.
