  1. Well today just about every one of those buttons still exists on a touch screen - not sure which is better
  2. No one has suggested "The Great Escape"? McQueen, Garner, Bronson, Coburn, Pleasance, McCallum and Attenborough at least deserves a place at the table. I still like Mad Mad Mad World only because most of the stars were comedians.
  3. And we are getting closer - paint is done. Just for reference it's a 1962 MGA MkII. And nope I am not doing the body work. It's up in a specialty garage in Michigan. I did body work on my first MGA in 80's as a poor student. I wasn't very good at it and didn't like doing it. Not a good combo
  4. No idea why but Mom had BCBS Federal which must have been golden. In 4 years at nursing home she took ambulance to hospital probably 6-7 times. Never saw bill. Never saw a bill for anything from the hospital either.
  5. Long story but you can - just not like it was in 80's. IIRC the issue is not using tritium - it was disposing of the dial ten years later. To avoid dealing hazardous waste a lot of manufacturers went to Luminova. One or two still do tritium with tubes which I guess you can dispose of.
  6. Anyone know what Bulova is using for luminescence? Looks like aged Tritium but that really isn't an option these days. The website did not say
  7. and that is getting more difficult on new cars. My Lexus has somehow integrated the emergency brake into the maintenance system so you need a Lexus computer to disengage it during a brake job
  8. My potato is 14" laptop with 1920
  9. Featured products sidebar is still grabbing about 25% of my laptop screen.
  10. well they also had Lemon twist with the Mod Top. That was out there also. A good friend in high school had a Cuda with it. He raised all sort of mess in it - like it couldn't be identified. Probably was only one yellow Cuda with that roof in the entire state.
  11. I know the 60's were full of crazy stuff but a Panther Pink car just doesn't do it for me.
  12. over/under 5 million. I'll take over
  13. Rocking the early 90's IBM classic keyboard. have a couple from Austin IBM surplus store. They go for a lot on the bay. Easily the best keyboard I have ever used.
  14. I am following your logic but here goes.. I absoutely have outdoor rated cords. I can't see anything drawing that many amps. The splitter will have a single line going to the refrig. The second line off the splitter goes to my cable modem, router etc. Thats is it for the splitter. The TV and any other stuff uses the two standard 3 prong ports. That still leaves me a thrid unused connection off the splitter. What condition would cause more than 20A?
  15. I think what i wanted got over complicated. By splitting the 30 amp I just meant two lines - not 15/15. This actually did it perfectly and 3 ways https://www.homedepot.com/p/Voltec-Generator-Adapter-04-00215/206699604 Tested over the weekend. Ran refridg on one line, washer on another and some small stuff on third line. No issues. Only issue was the instructions - I hate the "idiot proof" instructions that are drawings with no words. A picture of a funnel means to put oil in etc. Only thing I would improve would be a power guage to show how much power is being used. No idea if I was pulling 1000 watts or 2000. Pretty sure it wasn't more than that with only a few items but would like to know
  16. How do get to the point of actually typing. Every website I seem to go to has a slightly delayed pop up that stops you from entering anything until you close it - Sign in Google, 10% off for allowing emails etc.
  17. Fortunately Huntsville, Al is not on ERCOT's grid. I am not planning for 10 days but want to keep the TV and refrig working for 1-2. I can't do anything thru the breaker box. I am in a historic/older neighborhood and my breaker box is early 1970's. Perfectly legal but wiring anything into it will probably require a new box. I priced that out at 10 grand a couple of years ago because I still have a few older circuits that don't meet new codes.
  18. yeah i want more cords going into the house. The thought is to split the 30 amp two ways - one to refrig and one for microwave/coffee maker. That leaves 2 other cords for lights, computers etc
  19. Unless someone talks me out of it - this is on sale for 699.00 in store at Costco. https://www.costco.com/firman-3200w-running--4000w-peak-dual-fuel-inverter-generator.product.100843922.html Another question - I need some sort of cable/gender bender etc to allow me to attach 110 volt cords to the generator's RV port. Any recommendations here?
  20. Looking to get one for power outages. The inverter (not inverted :)) have dropped enough to look at. Not trying to do the whole house - just refrigerator and various electronics. Inverters are supposed to be better for electronics. Looking for opinions on around 4000 watt. Sams has a nice Champion dual fuel for under 500 bucks. If you have a traditional generator can you add an inline UPS to help prevent damage to phone/computers etc.
  21. Before I moved back I swore I would not buy anything that came thru Gulf States again. I waited and got my 01 4Runner without too much junk (vin etching on windows for the win) but it just wasn't worth my effort to get a truck after a ccouple of episodes
  22. I don't have any date to support this but guessing that any future trade in of those will be limited.
  23. It's been said before but here goes - Callaway preowned is your best friend here. Reasonable prices and lots of sales plus trade in down the line
