It's time for this thread again! Our home will be paid off in about 6 years. There's plenty of equity, and I really want to stick it to our municipal power supplier, who seem to love increasing rate when times are tough but never backing them off when things get better. So. Home equity to...

Looks like they picked right up where they left off. Sucks when your shiny new toy comes out of the box with broken/missing pieces. Bum's 2 HRs was fun though. Still excited for the season :Party

My buddy just picked up a FJ Cruiser and wants to take it out off the pavement. I was thinking Hollister Hills would probably be the best bet. You can camp there, but I imagine there's no shooting allowed. I'd also like to fish. Most of my outdoor recreation happens in the Sierras so I don't...

Saw this come up on Facebook: Seems legit...

Not to hijack the other thread about being handy around the house, I decided to start a new one to specifically deal with what the collective brain thinks about tools necessary for home upkeep and basic projects. Here's my list, but it may have unnecessary items, or is likely missing items. I...

Looking to change things up a bit. I have a card through my bank that I use for all expenses and pay off. About every year or so I can redeem points for about $1500 before they expire. But I want to travel more and it seems like travel rewards are the best bang for your buck. But there are...

Well, I guess you can all thank me for fixing the drought. About this time last year we made plans and put a deposit down to have our wedding later this month in the Sacramento Delta area. El Niño had turned out to be a little bitch and La Niña usually follows, so we felt pretty safe in booking...

I recently rented a 2017 Suburban and really liked the infotainment system. I want to bring my '05 Tahoe a bit into the present with a modern system. What's a good one? I'm satisfied with the sound quality so I don't care about speakers. We wouldn't need to keep the 6-disc changer either...

Well it sucks but I just don't get around to riding as much any more. I left the Bay Area and stopped commuting on the moto when I caught myself falling asleep on the freeway after work. Any fun roads are an hour away so riding just isn't as fun as when hwy 9 and all the fun roads I wanted were...

Mine is lacking. Use this thread to ask for stuff you can't find. I'm looking for a Mad TV (I think) spoof of those adorable Coke polar bear commercials where the bear knocks the head off (a seal or penguin) and drinks it's blood, and shares it with its adorable cub. My skills seem to be...

Well, I cleared the leaves and gunk out of the gutters but I can't get the crap that is stuck in the downspouts and the water drains pretty slowly. I tried a leaf blower from both ends and running the hose down but there isn't enough pressure. Mini snake didn't work. Would one of those...

So I'm hooked on that show Forged in Fire and now all I can think about is hammering out my own sick blades. I figure rather than spending upward of a grand and pissing off my neighbors and burning my house down, I'd look into professional guidance. Lo and behold, you can get exactly that at The...

Well, BARF? What's good for you? No need to be humble with your brags. Here's a thread where you can freely air your spotless laundry. There's a lot to gripe about but let's take some time to share what we like about life. Me, I'm planning a wedding, have a good secure job and am still free to...

Went out to my car after work and saw a cherry new Interceptor tipped over in moto parking. No idea whose it is. I didn't right it, as I wanted the owner to know what happened and file an accurate insurance claim if needed. Would you have stood it up? Sorry if I screwed up. Didn't see any...

Well I think it's time to end my 15-year patronage of my bank. I was bummed when the free checking went away, but it never affected me since I was always above the minimum balance. Then the free checks went away. Not a huge deal because I hardly ever write a check. Now not only is my ATM fee...

Well, the title says it all. My dad's always got a million projects going on at any time. The last few years he's transitioned from muscle cars to old motos. Most of his projects are bikes he and his buddies rode back in his day. I'll share pics and stories in this thread. I got a chance to...

Anyone else getting excited? Our party put in for X12, X9A, and D6. Got skunked last year, but I'm always optimistic. This will be my first year without my Tacoma. That thing was so perfect for getting deep into the woods. I have a Tahoe now. Hope it's not too big, and I hope I wont miss the...

A "juicer" that makes no mess! How thrilling! The Juicero uses pouches like a Keurig machine and it presses the ingredients through a filter into your glass. Unlike Keurig, they were wise enough to make it only function with wifi and the barcode scanner. Third party pouch? Sorry, Charlie. No...

Holy shit. I love this shit. I went to Tahoe for my first real vacation in years and took a beginners' lesson at Sierra at Tahoe. By the end of the day I was shredding the fuck out of the bunny slope :laughing. Didn't fall once. My confidence was great. Now I see why people go so nuts for that...

Here we go! Opening day is here at last! I know there are a few Giants fans here. Looking forward to cheering and bitching with you in this thread.
