re: People with experience installing screens on a patio
Posted by ElVick on 11/9/23 at 8:13 pm
I just did a porch and used screen tight hardware from lowes . Each opening was 13'x7' and I was able to get it tight. I didn't want to obscure my views and so far it's holding. A couple of storms with good winds and big temp swings and it's still holding fine. ...

re: Would You Drive This? 1991 Mitsubishi Montero LS 4×4
Posted by ElVick on 2/2/23 at 9:26 pm
Buddy of mine had one when he was stationed in Misawa back in the day. It was a fun vehicle but like everyone has said it was very top heavy and dangerous in the snow up there. We looked into what it would take to have it shipped back when he left but it just wasn't worth the trouble. Today I would ...
re: Is Youtube the best alternate to Cable
Posted by ElVick on 10/11/22 at 10:39 pm
I switched from DirecTV 18 months ago and I have been happy, however they have been starting to go up every year. The other thing I didn't figure into my planning was we have kids and grandparents that keep tv's on all day and they managed use all the data that Cox allocates for our Gigablast servic...

I went back to a Cummins never had problems with them before and only time will tell going...
Dude got on the fish today.

Proud dad here. I'd rather bait hooks and get fish off hooks then catch them myself. Seeing the excitement in his eyes is better than anything.

We see eye to eye on that. We could shut this down in a week but our populous cannot stomach what it would take to do it. War is hell and should be the last resort....

Posted by ElVick on 2/24/22 at 11:48 pm
I agree with you I would hate to see this thing get drawn out. My worry having spent 20 years serving in uniform is US getting involved in this situation. If we are going to fight then lets do it but I have learned that war is just for making the rich more money on the backs of the middle and lower ...

Not in your or my perspective, but for Putin this is. This is a valuable resourse that left and he cannot bring Russia/former USSR back into power without. This is about the economic resources and the ability to build a buffer around modern Russia....

I have read up on this and Ukraine was a founding member of the USSR along with Russia. Mortal enemies joined forces to take on the rest of the free world under communism. I agree with your stance that we should stay out of it and I also am for a free Ukraine....

Posted by ElVick on 2/24/22 at 11:03 pm
Yes in modern history Ukraine has not been part of todays Russia. They were however a founding member of the USSR. My point is Putin is attempting to bring the former Soviet States back under one umbrella. The same thing would happen if a US state tried to leave our union. ...

What was the USSR and how is that not equivalent? Im not calling names but they were a state under Russian control for 60+ years. The Soviet Union fell and they were unable to hold their union together. Now Putin is attempting to collect what he sees as rogue states. I think Ukraine should be free a...
