Talked to insurance company. My homeowners does not cover appliances without a special rider. It would have covered any water damage caused by the ruptured pipes put there was none because we had shut off the main and the only water in the pipes was the ice that burst them. Thawed them...

I was gifted an Ochsenkopf axe by a lumberjack for helping his mother out during and after a blizzard in New York State in 1977. Now that was an axe! After having it for over 20 years I had that and 2 chainsaws locked in my pickup after clearing a lot and a thief smashed out the back window of...

Consider yourself lucky. I lost my 50ish year old furnace a couple of years ago during a polar vortex. Was unrepairable and was 3 days till a new unit was installed and running in -0 weather. My gas fireplace and space heaters were not enough to keep my pipes and water heater from freezing...

Me too...

I decided to purchase a "quality" self propelled mower back in 2014 to replace all the Lawn King Walmart specials that were lasting a season maybe 2 and piling up in my garage. I went to Lowes and settled on a Husqvarna. They had 2 with same features but one cost $100 more, when I asked why it...

Had a Savage Stevens 320 with interchangeable barrels. Not real good with fit and finish but shot okay. Biggest factor was it was inexpensive. Traded it and a couple hundred bucks for a motorcycle which also was not real good with fit and finish but rode okay. Que sera sera...

Now he has the the perfect campfire story. Grampa, Grampa how did you lose your eye. Ahhhh, let me tell ya all about the guy that thought he was gonna rob your Grampa...

Let the word smithing begin... A clip is a metal device used to load ammunition into a magazine. They're usually shaped to hold cartridges in a row and are pushed into a magazine by hand to load it. A magazine, in turn, is a spring loaded device or holding area on a firearm that feeds rounds...

It's a play right out of the NY State play book. They enact a restriction that they know can't hold muster. Lawsuit gets filed to repeal the restriction (in this case the Mental Health Exam). So now its NYS law and by the time it gets through the legal system and is repealed it will take a...

I was just in the mindset of an argument that doesn't end in a physical conflict is just another one of them daily annoyances but not something worthy of calling the law. I see your point, if you are armed the rules change. In my state, unholstered at the low 45 could get you charged with...

I liked the beer and company WHEN they were an American Company. They were really big in supporting the troops and the common blue collar man and were sincere with it. They knew who buttered their bread and they showed their gratitude to them. After InBev (a Belguim Company) acquired them in...

I have nothing against the LGBTQ+IEIEO community. What I do have something against is companies trying to cram their queerness down everyones throat like its a normal lifestyle. It may now be a mainstream lifestyle but its not normal. Can't understand what these companies are doing. I owned a...

Same here. I bought a heavily discounted electric chain saw; a 40 volt 12" Black and Decker on a whim as a backup, with store and military discount it was 65% off and was too tempting not to buy. It really surprised me. Battery lasts twice as long as I thought it would (about 2.5 - 3 hours of...

My days of wood burning are over. My last 2 houses each had 2 fireplaces. In my current house, one has been converted to gas and I'm putting an electric insert in the other. Mostly just used for ambiance during the holidays anyways, Although the gas one did come in handy heating my house...

In a heartbeat...

I have 2 sons, one is like me and can fix anything with an engine. The other knows how to put gas and oil in one. That other one had a '95 Snapper Hydrostatic Gear Drive lawn tractor that his wife's father gave to him. He used it for a couple of years and asked me how to get rid of it because...

As a teen I landed a job as caretaker of the 2 cemetaries in our village. Lots of mowing and edging and when I wasn't doing that, I was tossing bales...

Speaking to a friend who's a LEO he recommended against OC except in the rural areas of the state where most of the local ranchers OC where its a common sight. Problem being that the Police are required to respond to every call and when you OC in the more populated areas every Karen in the area...

I used to carry .38 special on occassion years ago, now I sometimes carry a .22 in a ankle holster as a backup.

Exactly, I was just showing how asinine the law in some state (mine included) is. We went to Constitutional Carry that is effective 1 September. When they rewrite the rules to go with the Constitutional Carry, perhaps there will be some common sense in them.
