    Do you use a hitch mounted bike rack...

    ... that you would recommend? And that can clear the spare tire mounted to the back of a Jeep Wrangler? I have a 2" receiver hitch on my Jeep and I need something that will accommodate three bikes.... Two mountain and one that is a young girls 20" bike. Something that tilts is a plus but...

    Conan O'Brian w/ Brian Williams - Thur Night

    I finally got around to watching Thursday night's show and I have a dumb question for whoever might have caught that show.... Is Williams really that big of an ass or was it just shtick? At some point you'd expect his put downs to Conan and the show to subside but he was relentless and Conan...

    Help needed identifying this hawk

    ...at least I think hawk... red tailed hawk perhaps? Imagine your surprise when your 7 year old daughter yells out, "Daddy there's a huge eagle in the tree!" As I take a look out the window, my jaw about hit the floor. Down the stairs I fly and grab my digital camera. Slowly opening the front...

    Someone stole my saw...

    :angry: Just venting... Apparently when I left for work this morning I forgot to close the garage door. Didn't think much of it when I got home until I noticed on my workbench my miter saw is GONE! WTF! Man I am so pissed (at myself). I just bought it last fall to re-do the deck this summer...

    Where to aim a port

    Hi, I have what I am sure is an easy question. I am building a ported enclosure for my car but due to space limitations its going to be rather long and narrow. Can I use a PVC elbow so that the port opening is on the same side as the driver, or does this not matter? In other words can the...

    Looking for a little game someone posted...

    ...here several months ago. It's basically a little slider game where you are trying to move blocks of different sizes around to get one block in particular out a hole. Each level you go up increases the difficulty and amount of the moves you have to do to get that one block out. Thats the...

    Roof pitch question

    I have a 2 story colonial with a 7:12 pitch roof which I plan to have reshingled next year hopefully (complete tearoff). I know that since its second story roof that commands a higher labor cost for replacement, but is 7:12 considered a steep roof which will also increase the quote? Thanks...

    Does Tiger Woods 2004 have Live! support?

    I could have sworn earlier in the year it was mentioned that TW 2K4 would be Live enabled, but Xbox.com doesnt mention anything about it. I have been waiting forever for a golf game that supports Live. Kevin

    When is too late to lay sod?

    A summer yard project has gone into extra innings and has left me with timeline of Sept 6th as the earliest weekend I can lay sod.

    Get your Windows 2000/XP patched up

    I know this would be better categorized under the Computers Area, but seems important enough that an exception be made. The first major worm utilizing the RPC hole Microsoft brought to light on July 16th has reared up today infecting thousands of PC's already and I am sure it's going to get...

    Miter saw advice

    I've been in the market for a miter saw for some time now. I haven't really pulled the trigger yet since there are so many to choose from and the slider versions are so expensive. I happened to be strolling through Home Depot today and out of the corner of my eye I noticed this: It...

    Grettings, I've got a pair of BP2's and they've been on stands for a few years now and its time I get them mounted to the wall. I just checked with a stud finder today and found no stud in the area that they need to mounted... just drywall. Each speaker weighs 11 pounds according to their...

    Contemplating renting a power rake for the lawn

    Every year I pay my local lawn care company $50 to come out and aerate the lawn. While I'm sure it does a lawn good I can't get over the amount of dead grass I have embedded in the lawn and I even bag every mow. My local Home Depot rents power rakes and I was wondering what experiences others...

    Anyone else with frequent disconnects in Ghost Recon?

    I have a very XBOX friendly internet connection... Comcast PRO which means its 3.5mb download and 384k upload. It has its own public IP addy and all the connection tests via the XBOX come back good as far as UL/DL speeds and ping times. I cannot seem to stay connected to someone's game for...

    Comcast cable HD - how is the picture and channel changing speed?

    I am in SE Michigan and I am scheduled to get it later this month, but the wait feels like an eternity. I am curious as to what you think of the HD picture? It's probably not as good as something OTA, but would you consider it better than your best DVD picture? Also, as a digital cable...

    Netflix: are they OAR safe?

    Just want to make sure as I am filling in my rental queue that I am safe in that all the movies are widescreen. I didn't know if I should be looking at every movie's description to make sure it says enhanced for 16x9, or perhaps they've adopted a widescreen only policy. Thanks in advance. Kevin
