I could get in line behind that. In fact, I might make it a personal rule, though I am not often late.

This is what i was thinking. And then I thought maybe one could calibrate the thermometer at freezing point, then check it at boiling point, and at that point they would have a better idea of how accurate their thermometer actually was and adjust their usage accordingly (or discard it if it was bad enough!)

Interesting idea. It's not really necessary fior me, but I like the thought.

All you folks in San Diego, you should've just hung out here at LH!

I've also used layers and layers of newsprint. And I did this AROUND my bulbs, and they still grew up just fine. I did this over FULL ON LAWN (though I would say it's probably much better to remove the sod before planting a garden - my then-wife and I had already put in three flowerbeds, and it was late, and we were…

If they're not trying to recoup the cost of a piece of equipment anymore, then why haven't service prices gone down?

Shear stress? Nah, man, we're blowing into the sucka to achieve positive pressure and push that tomato-ey goodness out!

So keep your toothbrush in a few fingers of vodka. Keeps it sterile, and it's great for those nights when you might need a little help getting to sleep...

I want to know where Kevin Klein was in this Wild Wild West/MIB/Fresh Prince mashup!

That's awesome! I've heard sharpening the blades on a reel mower can be a real PITA, but you only have to do that, what, once per season? I've got plenty to do each season for mine...and I have a blade to sharpen/replace once per season, too!

In my area Sonic is offering 1/2 price drinks all day long.

Buy a cheap lawnmower that doesn't work from either criagslist or a pawn shop. My only caveat - pull the string, even if they have told you it doesn't work. If you get resistance, and if you hear the pop of the valves, chances are good you've got compression. If you've got that, it's either a fuel line issue or the…

Navel Jelly...heh...just don't shower for a few days, you'll find some navel jell...

You can easily make your "wrinkle-free" shirts and pants into "wrinkly" shirts and pants by overheating them. The poly will shrink just that tiny little bit and - boom - your pants are going to be almost impossible to get flat.

Ahhhh, yes, well, that IS something. I mean, I suppose it's not THAT statistically surprising, but it's still cool!
