  1. Guy I used to work with was usually really cautious- ex field geology type that would even wear steel toed shes when doing yard work. "Always" wore his glasses. Until one afternoon when he didn't . He onyl had 10 ft to weedwhack and had misplaced his glasses. Hit some mulch or twigs and a small chunk of wood hit him in the eye. Happened so fast he stumbled to the ground in pain. When he came to he reach up and could feel the liquid/gel leaking from his eye. Was super lucky and didnt' lose his eyesight. I think of him every time I am tempted to ignore the glasses for even a few moments
  2. We went 4 or so years ago. Good long weekend, not high up on my wife's place to visit again. We hadnt' realized that it had become such a destination for bridal parties. Broadway is kind of a zoo at night. But you can wander in and out of bars and find music to your liking. Even mid afternoon someone will be playing. Lots and lots to pick from. We heard one band that we liked enough that we followed them to the outskirts of town to hear them the next night. Rock and Roll museum was fun. Opryland was closed due to some sort of graduation- don't be like us and assume it's always open. We found the hot chicken at Bolton's -reported to be one of the local favorite- a little hole in the wall-to be almost unpalatable even in what was to be a milder version. I probably had more fun than the wife.
  3. I am having some recurrent issues today when I search. Not on every search, but on several
  4. You could try a plumbing supply house if you want to spend the time to track it down. If you have the cartridge number you might be able to track it down over the phone. No guarantee its not a proprietary gasket that they won't sell separately. For $11, I'd just replace the cartridge- with my luck I'd spend an hour plus to get to the supply shop, spend a couple of bucks on the gasket and the cartridge would fail in short order.
  5. In addition to what others have said, I'd say make sure you're wearing wicking underwear. On a hot day it's make a big difference , so probably would help if you are sweating post exercise.
  6. At this point you have tried the obvious stuff. You could get a manometer and try to figure out it out yourself, but you'll also need to sort out what the pressure is supposed to be coming into the house, what's it supposed to be at the stove, is it really a pressure issue, etc. I'd say it's worth the 200 bucks or whatever it will cost for a service call. I understand that there are some crappy contractors out there- try to get a referral. This doesn't sound that it is going to be that complicated to resolve by an expert.
  7. Much appreciated- The ones I had were urethane as well. I've order replacements- glad to hear that they are easy to replace
  8. I am not a gas expert, but I don't think it's necessarily that simple. The gas jet creates the venturi that sucks the air in. If the gas isn't flowing just right the air wont' get sucked in right and if the air passages are clogged, the mix may not be quite right. The central oblong burner on our 5 burner stove is pretty fussy- a little bit of dirt and it doesn't burn right. I'd start with a good cleaning. WRT why it changes when it gets hot, I expect the slight expansion might be changing the flow. just my 2 cents
  9. I figure this is the forum that likely has the most best expertise to point me in the right direction. I have a 9" craftsman bandsaw that my wife bought me for Christmas present 20+ years ago. Nothing special and not the 14" floor model I want when I get more space, but it has served me well over the years and been way more useful than I ever anticipated. Not what I would have picked, but it meet my needs. Well last night as I was helping my grandsons work on their pinewood derby cars, one of the tires exploded- just as the 10 year old was cutting his car. Thankfully safety glasses worked and all is good. I now need to get replacement tires for part # X08E. I see I can probably get some NOS, but they seem to be at a price premium over some aftermarket ones on the auction and river sites.. Any recommended sources or anything I should avoid. I've never replaced the tires, so not really sure if there is anything specific I need to look for?
  10. The Cars Candy-o was a memorable one.And the ones from old Yes albums were pretty cool also
  11. I haven't heard that vets don't like this. But yes, it's about hormones a development. Neutering or spaying early can lead to increased chance of displasia- I recall a study they did with Vislas, I am guessing they have done more since. I do lepto, distemper, rabies, and lyme but don't bother with kennel cough or influenza as we don't kennel the pup or take him to dog parks or other places he' s interact with a lot of other dogs
  12. There are so many folks that completely ignore the tons of signs that say to keep your distance, it's amazing that more idiots dont' get gored
  13. We visited Glacier/ Waterton probably 7 or 8 year ago. We went to a trailhead in Waterton and there was a news crew there. A mountain lion had attacked a teenage girl on the trail a few days earlier during the daylight. Very unusual. A couple of days later we were hiking through the huckleberry patch and I had to remind my wife that saving the $25 by only buying one can of bear spray probably wasn't the smartest decision....
  14. We typically try to go just after Labor Day- kids are in school and the parks are less crowded and the northern ones arent' yet too cold or shut down for winter. But your are right, sometimes it can get really crowded. Picking a favorite park would be tough fro me- all the ones we have visited are worthy of protection.
  15. Banff is on our list. I've heard nothing but good things. We considered it last year but waited too long to book and the available hotels were more than we wanted to spend= eg 300-400/night.
