  1. I read that there were 13 firetrucks for Lanai, Molokai & Maui islands....the tiny island that I live on has that many.
  2. Before I moved up here 2.5 years ago from SoCal I researched the 'darkness' issue...turns out there is more annual light here due to the very long summer days. Wife and I totally love it here. Some of the locals have condos on the east side to escape the gloom, but the grayness is fine with us. We live on an island, and the wind/clouds are part of the charm. The wind knocking down trees, and the trees knocking out the power, not so much. Generac and a 500 gallon propane tank solved that issue.
  3. JFC! Can you guys take the discussion/agrument of the merits of past presidents to a different thread. For three days I've opened this thread to find your ongoing pissing match. 'I don't want to derail this thread' put here's a couple of hundred words of derailment....
  4. What's your interest in Whidbey?
  5. That was a pretty quick build.
  6. Weather @ Laguna Seca was great....thick fog cleared to blue sky as the IMSA race started. The miata race was started in fog so thick you couldn't see the cars on the course, much less the flag stations. We were amazed that race was run. Interesting that there were more spectators at the track on Saturday then raceday. The JDC Porsche prototype was delivered to the team on Tuesday, it first turned it's wheels at the Friday afternoon practice. As one JDC crewman said "it's cheaper to enter the race than rent a course for a shakedown". They did an impressive job just finishing the race. Laguna is a great place, but now it's a 1,000 mile drive for me, not the 300 it's been for decades. Back in August for Rennsport.
  7. Boulder Mountain Lodge is a nice place to lay your head down.
  8. For someone who has made numerous commercials, you don't seem to be very observant about what was happening on set. The 1st Assistant Director runs the set. Executive directors have nothing to do with on-set operations. Same goes for the talent.
  9. It was reported earlier that the weapon held live ammo. Failure to check the weapon is negligent, having live ammo on a set is criminal.
  10. Perfect example of 'Ignorance is Bliss'
  11. Wait for ordered Sub-Zero is currently 12 - 14 months. I'd go larger on the columns...both of ours are 36". It's nice to have the huge freezer, especially living on an island.
  12. Alps....there are large cities everywhere, there is only one Swiss Alps.
  13. Well, there's cheap, and then there's stupid cheap.
  14. Late 60's VW automatic stick shift beetle - 3 speed that you had to shift, BUT......the clutch engaged when you touched the shift knob. My right knee was guilty of some serious over revs. This POS was definitely offset by the 351 ci bronco with the 4 speed, rear locker, 8 shocks and roll cage.
  15. Costco is having a $500 off sale on their 22Kw generac gennys the 6th thru the 10th.
  16. The ironworks face is the 'artisan' upgrade, no? We've bought that to upgrade our unit after we move it. Yeah, that's a lot for a gas unit.
  17. No. It came with the 22 year old house that we bought 2 years ago, so the $6k figure I posted was rather deceiving. I was referring to replacement cost. We're actually going to move it to the next wall over so that it doesn't block our view of the ocean. I don't know where the PNW architects learned their trade, but they've got some interesting ideas...
  18. You might find this hard to believe, but the 911's ride has improved in the last 37 years...
  19. I've got a Fireplace X 36 elite and I love it...about $6K new. As noted above, turn on the HVAC fan and the whole house is warm. The windstorms here provide me with a continuous source of firewood.
  20. What it excels at is being a high speed Grand Tourer. It only makes sense owning one if you live in Germany. If it was a track car it would have a roll bar.
  21. If you are serious about tracking your car, and good enough to go fast, you've got to put a rollbar and harness in to protect you from serious crash. This definitely compromises the usability of said vehicle. Putting or not putting crap into the bed of your truck has no effect on your comfort in the cab.
  22. otisdog replied to TexasEd's topic in Hobbies
    It is. It's also a sponge that doesn't hold screws well, much less in a vibrating environment.
  23. Looks great! You're going to appreciate the extra 26". Which dealer?
