    Maggie’s Water Test kit question

    The filter light on your fridge is triggered by how much water went through it since the last time the light was reset. It doesn't detect contaminents. Our water is from our own well, and I have it tested twice a year. Some people recommend quarterly testing. There is a water lab nearby and...

    Maggie’s Harvest Moon Friday 13th

    I saw it from a mountaintop, and we pointed big antennas at it to try to contact Europeans by bouncing our signal off it. Terristreal noise foiled us, but the view was awesome.

    Watch Dorian Eat a Jeep - LIVE

    There was a beach in Wildwood, NJ where you could drive in the non summer months. A friend went for a weekend with his wife's brand new '84 Bronco II. I got a call at 0530 on Sunday to bail him out of jail. He drove the Bronco on the beach and got stuck. The tide was rising and it was obvious...

    Maggie’s What guns have you purchased due to a movie, TV show or other

    I grew up with the Sean Connery James Bond. I finally bought a PPK about 15 years ago. The guys I bought it from always have tables at the local gun shows, and still call me "The Double Naught Spy" whenever they see me.

    Maggie’s For you Apollo 11 geeks... it's like Christmas!

    I watched the moon landing at my girlfriend's birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. It was a few weeks before I was to ship off to Navy boot camp. It was a good party, with a swimming pool and dancing in a room that had a strobe light her dad made. It was a piece of plywood with a hole in it...

    Maggie’s Any trip advice for Fl Keys?

    Key Largo has good diving for those who are starting out, but avoid the "cattle boats". Take a look at Quiescence Diving Services. I haven't been down there for a while, and I'm sure there are other similar outfits, but these guys have been there a long time and have a good reputation in the...

    I was in the ER when they brought him in. He was already gone. He had been drinking heavily in a college town bar beforehand. He put his Porsche 911 into a tree at 130+ MPH.

    The Navy is using an Xbox controller for the photonics masts in Virginia Class submarines. It replaced a $30,000 joystick controller.

    I tried that site, and found I am owed some money. I checked it out with the state involved, and it is indeed legit. They said I'll have it within 30 days.

    As a newbie SN on an SSN in the yard, I was assigned to help and run errands for a MM2 who was rebuilding a pump (I was one of the few on the boat who had a Navy drivers license.) He sent me to the pump shop for a can of relative bearing grease, They sent me to the compressor shop, and they...
