DirecTV now has RFD TV in their lineup. It's on 379. I knew Dish Network couldn't hold 'em back!

One of my friends has a house at the beach. A few times a year, he invites a couple of us to spend a long weekend and go flounder gigging and fishing. He has a 20 ft bow rider and a 14 ft jonboat that we use. He never charges us anything to stay. We have to force him to let us pay for food and...

Flounder Giggin\' Anyone? While at the coast 3 weeks ago, one of my friends gigged this flounder. It was at low tide around 2200 hours. It is 24" long and weighed about 6 lbs! It took 2 gigs to get him off the bottom and into the 5 gallon bucket. Well, he did't completely fit in the bucket...

Threshers\' Reunion Has anyone ever been to a threshers' reunion? This one is held around the 4th of July every year just northeast of Charlotte - west of Raleigh. http://www.threshers.com/farmpark/seotr_demo.html My father told me that his parent's and grandparents did things the...

I need one. It is for trim work and the ditchbank (30-50 degree slope). Thus, the light weight need. I know about oil starvation and all. I do not want self-propelled; too heavy. I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING BY MTD. Is Murray still made by Murray? Does Snapper make any? Thanks, Gary

I want to make some blade guards for jigs. Can plexiglass be cut with a jig saw? If so, which blade is best for a smooth cut? Any tricks to keep it from cracking? Thanks, Gary.

Has anyone here ever been polled about current events involving the USA or it's government? What topic(s)? What organization did the polling? I have never been polled by any company.

Well, it's official..... A new Powermatic 64 will be joining my shop on Saturday! Cast iron wings, extension table and mobile base. The Jet Supersaw ran a close second. Delta didn't figure in (in contractor's saws) because they were right-tilt. This saw has to last me for at least 6...

A friend of mine was at Lowes and found a model 733 DeWalt 12 1/2" planer. We've both been in the market for one. I know the 733 is a discontinued unit and I know the 734 and 735 are out, but I didn't quite wanna spend $380 - $500 on a planer just yet --- I'm cheap! Anyway, he calls me and asks...
