re: Yosemite?

Posted by Diablo on 10/20/22 at 10:53 pm
You can do Yosemite and Sequoia in the same day, but it is better to hike up to some falls in Yosemite. I would make it two days. Head up to Tahoe the next day. You can fly in or out of Reno from Tahoe. Honestly, you could take a week in Northern Ca and not get to everything....

re: Help planning a golf trip to Scotland

Haversham and Baker is a golf travel agency. They have access to all courses, even St Andrews, with confirmed tee times. They can make your hotel reservations (bed and breakfasts) near the courses, and have drivers for you, van or bus. If you want to play Royal Dornouch (great course), it is a long ...

re: Kelly v Napier

Both have a proven record, one closer to the top than the other. LSU made the right choice for now. Circumstances dictate different choices. Every team passed on Brady, at least 6 times. He was picked in the 7th round. I’m sure every mother team wished they could have turned back the clock....

re: Tell me about Pinehurst

Posted by Diablo on 9/29/21 at 1:08 pm
I’ve been several times. Enjoyed each time. It’s a bucket list place for golfers. I don’t know if they still have it, but The Pinecrest Inn has a dining room and a bar. Some late nights, after the dining room was vacated, the bar patrons (all golfers) would but up a dollar each and attempt to chip b...

Only a very controlled kiln climate can limit the cracking. Your solution is to fill cracks with epoxy. ...
Nothing like an insomniac night, and wake up at 2 am to The Open Championship on for a 5-6 hour broadcast....
The one negative about Bandon.....it takes a whole day of flights to get there, unless you have a private jet....
I e been to Scotland/Ireland 2 times, 2 weeks each time. Recommend the same, if you want to play all the top courses. Otherwise, you’ll be planning another trip. In North America, highly recommend Pinehurst, Bandon (golfers only), Wisconsin, BC (Lake Okanagan), Banff area, Nova Scotia and Prince Ed...

re: Concrete Saw

Posted by Diablo on 3/26/20 at 7:33 pm
How deep is the concrete? A rental with a good blade, and water cooling the blade can make the job easy, if you make a guide along the cut line. Use some 2x4s or 6s to act as your straight line....
If the thermostat or sensor isn’t positioned correctly, it may be getting a false reading, allowing the compressor to run longer that it should. Removing the door cover may have contributed to this. The engineering for refrigerators are just so that any altering can have such an effect. I’d put a th...
Disrespect is the greatest motivator. The team in the locker room is a better team ranked #4, than ranked #1. The hunter is more dangerous than the hunted...

re: Scotland Golf Vacation

It rained sideways, one day. We had two groups. 1st group was making the turn on #10 at Old Head in Ireland. The caddies with the group coming down #9 asked our caddies WTF we were doing, keeping on playing. Our caddies replied, “Ficking Americans!” Old Head is Pebble Beach on steroids. Dramatic hol...

If you want a “no worry” trip, where everything is taken care of, try Perry Golf. I used them twice. Depending on the size of your group, they will pick you up at the airport (van, bus, etc.) and take you to each course and hotel. They can take care of your flights and connections also. They are fir...
Yes, but Yosemite has limited access, except for summer months (because of snow). 3 days in Yosemite. Tahoe is about a two hour drive to get there. Ride around the lake takes one hour. Small villages and towns nearby are neat to tour. Go into Nevada and see Carson City....Truckee on the north shore....

re: Dryer is running too hot, why?

Posted by Diablo on 10/11/19 at 2:38 pm
Thermostat is keeping the heating element/gas on. It regulates the temp. Even if you had a clog, it would just stop heating sooner....
I stand corrected. What’s your point......the difference was 45?...
That is my point. They look for such minute, insignificant points. Does anyone remember where the Tigers ranked on Sept 29, 2007 or, Sept, 29, 2003? What matters is where they stand on Dec 1st, not now. Don’t worry about who is ahead of them. If they win, all is taken care of....
English majors to the front! You’re a hero....
Knew keyboard whiz’s would show up. Hope you covered the spread, anyway....
I’ve seen the Tigers demolish Archie Manning 63-0. I’ve seen them come within 2 minutes of defeated USC and their invincible team, 50 years ago. What I can’t stand is these keyboard maniacs who think they know everything about college football. The season is five weeks old. LSU has been undefeated n...
