Seems this occurs with annoying frequency. The politicos reconvene on the 25th of April, after their two week Easter break. They have til the 29th to fix a problem...... The government will "shutdown", due to funding issues. Well, we know what that means. Closing public access to national...

Find a safe harbor and secure the vessel! Batten all hatches! The Southeast is having some major storming right now. Not a time to be on the road.

Driving back from the National Forest outdoor range today, I was low on gas. Stopped at a station close to the range, only one out here for miles. Didn't see this last time I used it, months ago. The pumps now have a video display using an online channel! Had some content, mostly video ads, but...

Don't forget to set your clocks forward an hour tonight!

Weather_dot_com has snow and ice warnings, due to Winter Storm Helena. Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina are under storm warnings. Even here in North Florida, we are expecting 26F. Saturday night, and about the same Sunday night. Be careful out there!

And a very rough time in the Deep South. We had heavy rain storms, and tornadoes. A few deaths in southern Georgia, and South Carolina. It came in angry bands of ugly yellow and red blobs, on the weather radar map. I'd hate to have been in a van during this storm. Makes me appreciate having...

The Mythbusters TV series has ended, and just ran a huge "marathon run" of all episodes, the whole fifteen years worth. One thing they showed at one point was a "little black book" that Adam and Jamey use a lot. "Pocket Ref" by Thomas J. Glover. It's a little pocket sized manual of all manner...

Been a very dry early autumn here in the Deep South, no rain for a couple months. Dirt roads had gotten very dry and dusty. Today and tomorrow are very rainy. Had some rain one day last week too. Hard rain, angry red and yellow blobs on the weather maps. How are things going elsewhere?

I have been trying to find some new apps for my cell phone.  First thing I notice is, the Google App Store is GONE......   Did they discontinue it, or can my phone (admittedly getting long in the tooth now) simply not able to connect? I did a Google Search for phone app stores other than the...

http://eoscell.com/ They advertise "Nationwide 4G LTE" service.  Saw them mentioned on another forum, but they were asking too, with no real info yet. Wondering how they stack up?

Found this website that discusses the different types of AA/AAA rechargeable batteries used for small devices.  What devices each is best for, relative MAH ratings, ease of charging, how long they last, etc.  Good info to have if you use the small rechargeables...

Hope any Texas members are weathering this storm okay.  Tropical Storm Bill has made landfall near Galveston, Texas.  Evacuation orders are in effect down there.  Look like a bad one.
