    Why do LEOs look the other way when chicks flash their tittays during Mardi Gras?

    I have seen Mardi Gras LEO's (?) on TV, and they said that a quick bewb flash would be ignored as long as she wasn't causing a crowd to gather. If a crowd gathers and impedes the flow of pedestrians, it becomes a disturbance, and the flashing female may be cited. On the other hand, as soon as a...

    Anyone been in a car crash where the airbag deploys?

    We got hit in the passenger side front wheel area. I was driving. I remember the sound of crunching/breaking plastic (from the dash buckling). I don't remember the airbag impacting my face, but I lost several seconds of time after it happened. When I became alert again, my biggest fear was that...

    Stage 1 of Thanksgiving Turkey preparation has begun

    That's the first I have heard of soaking the wood in coffee/tea. What kind of smoker? I use a WSM, but haven't been brave enough to throw a whole turkey on yet.....

    Pool owners, how much chlorine do you use?

    Mostly this, but I keep mine at 1-3 ppm (I use a "Pool Frog" chlorinator with the mineral pack, but I use the 3" pucks instead of the frog cartridges). The temperature and amount of usage will also affect the chlorine levels. Get yourself a good kit and learn how to read it, don't be "pool...

    Home DIY/Fixit: Help me fix this piece of pipe, or tell me what to do.

    I agree here, be careful of the quick fixes. Using those adapters will give you 4 opportunities for leaking at the seals. If someone cranked down too hard on the spigot, I suspect that those fittings might fail. YMMV. Edit: I just realized that whatever equipment that the ground wire was going...

    Home DIY/Fixit: Help me fix this piece of pipe, or tell me what to do.

    Looks like you can't simply "sweat" that back together. The pipe is broken at the point between the 2 - 90 degree joints. At minimum, you will need a short piece of pipe (looks like 3/4" diameter, but measure it before you go to the store), 2 - 90 degree joints, and 2 - inline couplings to fix...

    Charcoal vs. propane **With Poll**

    KT, I would choose charcoal 99% of the time, for the flavor. But for that remaining 1%, since you are cooking on a condo patio, I would pick a gas grill for safety and convenience. Besides, as Wheezer said, you could add some chips in a smoke box for additional flavor with a gas grill...

    So I want to smoke some meat tomorrow, recipes?

    Easiest: Boston Butt (easiest cut to smoke, very forgiving of temp swings in the smoker.). Some salt and pepper, a little garlic and onion powder. A small amount of hickory or apple wood for smoke, you pick. That's it, nothing else needed. Smoke at 225 - 250 until the meat reaches at least 190...

    i want to start smoking

    For a great smoker, search Craigslist for a 18" Weber Smoky Mountain (WSM). They can sometimes be found in good shape for $100 or less, but you better be fast!. These are arguably the best "bullet" type smoker available. If you choose to get a new Brinkmann, you can make it work, but expect some...

    Anyone else do any kayak fishing?

    Hey Chaotic42, Check out the forums here: Kayak Fishing Stuff for lots of information. I've been freshwater kayak fishing (when I get a chance) for about a year now. I started with a sit-in-kayak, but quickly realized that a sit-on-top was a much better platform for fishing. I currently...
