Then maybe my "attitude" is because 1) all reporters desire to scare the crap out of their audiences (does that give them viewer points?) and 2) everything I build is usually over-engineered. I learned my lesson with fences here because I did not know how abusive cows can be to all manner of hardware, but now that I do know, all projects from here on will be designed to restrain an elephant. When I do roofing, I don't use 1/2" screws, but 1-1.5 inchers with a washer. Why take chances? I would rather go 10-12 years between repairs than to have to climb up there and rescrew things every six months. And considering the outrageous prices contractors charge to build a house (especially in places like NY), I would think they would be built to last through all manner of conditions (wind/rain/snow/quakes).
Here in South Dakota, all pipes outside are eight feet below the surface (must be well below the frost line). That's the only way to guarantee we have running water in the barns during winter.

Wow! We sold a doublewide in Orygun on three acres with a single garage -- not even an expensive area -- for twice what we paid for 10 acres here with house (about 80 years old), detached double garage, huge shop, homestead cabin, chicken coop, and barn. Were you looking on the eastern side of the state? I have heard stuff is more expensive east of the Missouri River. Of course, we are a zillion miles from anywhere out here, but it fits us.Four years ago we wanted to move to SD.
No shit for our budget we couldn't swing a second hand double wide.
So we bought in NY for about a third of SD prices.

true......but unless they are northern transplants, southerners can't drive in that stuff. Like Andria said, especially ICE. Huge freeze in Galveston after Hurricane Alicia. News guy from Houston came down to film folks driving over the causeway which from Galveston first went up hill, then down hill on the other side. After about the 4th car slammed into him down there, he decided it wasn't worth filming!But up here when it snows over 7 trillion combined horse power of snow removal equipment fire up. They don't have that.
sorry, I did forget you were sick......... but if you wuz that dang sick you wouldn't wanna eat, much less eat chinese food which you probably have to go out and get. lolI get a whackin when I have man flu, that's just mean x

Oh I kinda understand. I lived in Ohio for about 15 years, and was there during the blizzard of 1978!What you don't understand is nobody can drive in that without chains.
Even four wheel drive is as useful as tits on a boar hog on ice.
We have giant salt trucks with chains that melt the ice and rot our trucks out in 5 years.

Sounds yummy!! what's an ickle meal?Delivered to the door and you have to feed a cold
A bit less tonight though.
Crab Claws
King prawn curry and fried rice.
Ickle meal
You got a new toy and didn't tell us????Have I told you about the OBS Engine today ? It's goooooood
I forgot the I-90 corridor is also expensive. Of course, we wouldn't live in/near Rapid City fer nuthin.In the area anywhere Wall/Rapid City for use thank you.
4WD can get ya going on ice, but it is totally useless for stopping, which, even here, lots of folk don't seem to understand. The vast majority of vehicles I see in the ditches in winter are 4WD pickups and out-of-state tiny SUVs (honda/toyota types).What you don't understand is nobody can drive in that without chains.

Nope. Just means ya don't live next door. The "fast cars" are only on the roads here in summer. Even though we have excellent road cleaning crews, ain't no one dumb enough to drive a tire-squealer here in winter.Does that mean the invite is cancelled
lol don't think any of us would be caught dead up there in the winter, cuz iffn it wuz winter..........we'd prolly be dead! I think with a honkin RV, the only tire squealin will be done with the RC cars! heheheNope. Just means ya don't live next door. The "fast cars" are only on the roads here in summer. Even though we have excellent road cleaning crews, ain't no one dumb enough to drive a tire-squealer here in winter.
Dang! I almost forgot Rixy was bringin' his toys. Yo @Rixsta ! Does Emmy like your RC toys too? I gotta remember to put Stoneville Road on the itinerary.the only tire squealin will be done with the RC cars!

So do I, but the Hamilton/Stevensville/Missoula area (where I once lived) was waaayyyy too spendy for our budget, so we found a "depressed area" -- now when we finally decide to move our buns to a more comfortable climate, we'll play hell selling this place for what we paid. Profit? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ...My wife prefers Montana.
LittleSounds yummy!! what's an ickle meal?
I'm not sure, I'd say so, doesn't everyone like to drive an RC car at speeds of 70mph / 112kph. In fact the toys Emily plays with may even go faster than that.Dang!

I was in Lima Ohio during that blizzard.Oh I kinda understand. I lived in Ohio for about 15 years, and was there during the blizzard of 1978!

Night Y'all
Yeah!I am in shock! I just received the most awesome birthday present from a very good friend at ECF. I'm off to go play with my new toys. They're nothing like the fancy stuff here but still awesome for me! Laters y'all! Have a great rest of the day/night!
We drive on icy roads without chains on a regular basis here in the northern Indiana snowbelt.What you don't understand is nobody can drive in that without chains.

Bite me!Have I told you about the OBS Engine today ? It's goooooood
Your willie does more than 70 mph? Wow!In fact the toys Emily plays with may even go faster than that.
I never heard of one of those exceeding 70 mph... dayum!
Never took a trip to the lovehoney website then. You should, there's even toys for you there.I never heard of one of those exceeding 70 mph... dayum!
I understand that they work by having an off-center weight on a tiny motor. Would it be easier to just measure the RPM of the motor at full battery charge and multiply by the diameter of the weight?If one measured the distance traveled with each vibration and multiplied times the vibrations per hour....
Kind of a distance to orgasm standard?
think we could get a grant to do that study?
Not in the least interested in toys. For me, it's the real thing or nothing.Never took a trip to the lovehoney website then. You should, there's even toys for you there.

The industrial grade mains driven ones have an open pole transformer type of vibratory mechanism and vibrate at 60 hz or 50 in England I suppose.I understand that they work by having on off-center weight on a tiny motor.

Assuming said vibratory mechanism had a distance of travel of 1/2" side to side and made one full cycle (back then forth) at 60 Hz (cycles per second), that would be 1 inch full swing per cycle or 60 inches total per second or 3,600 inches per minute or 216,000 inches per hour, which translates into 18,000 feet per hour or only 3.4090909 miles per hour, so this plastic toy has a speed of 3.4 mph and Rixy said she has a toy that exceeds 70 mph, so Mr. Plastic is not the answer. How many guesses are for a RC drone instead?The industrial grade mains driven ones have an open pole transformer type of vibratory mechanism and vibrate at 60 hz or 50 in England I suppose.

Morning.Morning
Good, that means you won't be talking about the OBS Engine and trying to convince me I need to buy it.
I get to try a lot of juice every week but this one has me excited, just from smell alone this one is going to be rather special I think..
I'll be rippin on this later and give you my thoughts.
y'all tawk funny!Little
small world. I was in Dayton.I was in Lima Ohio during that blizzard.
oh kewl!I have a story to tell you guys! There's 1 thread at ECF that I will never give up unless I am banished of course but I play in the rules there. It's just a bunch of friends that met in the mini Clouper contest thread. Kad's there and Atcha was for a few minutes. Anyway, one of my buddies met a new member in the new member thread and invited the guy over to our thread. The guy is from NC and lives in the same county that I do! Isn't that some coincidence???
dats not kewl! glad it is over the sink, but that's awful hun. Hope you can get it fixed quickly.Raining like hell here! The roof in my kitchen has sprung a leak. Good thing it's over the sink.
Hmm, I will be using that tank to test the juice in, might get a little mention, we shall see lolGood, that means you won't be talking about the OBS Engine and trying to convince me I need to buy it.
Morning!
Afternoon darlin........I'm doin pretty good! How's your cold?@Debadoo, afternoon x x How are you today..?
Worse but I had to get that work done today, you know when you keep looking at it, well it got me down so I made the effort and I'm glad I did.Afternoon darlin........I'm doin pretty good! How's your cold?
