I've owned a pellet stove for over a decade - no fuss, no muss - just drop a bag of pellets in the hopper, and turn it on.
I too split dozens of cords of wood for my folks as a young lad - I kind of enjoyed it.

Re: VW TDI owners - VW Management puckering up a bit...
My buyout option would be around $13.5k for our 09 wagon - not too bad considering we bought it for $11k two years ago..... I also read that VW will pay an additional 30% if your loan value is above the buyout payment. We have two cars under one note - I'm going to try to separate the vehicles into ...

Re: Buying cell phones w/o a contract recommedation!
Thanks for the recommendation - however, ATT and Tmobile aren't an option where I live.
I've actually been quite happy with pageplus, which uses Verizon towers.
Looks like a nicely specced phone at a great price, though.

Re: VW TDI owners - VW Management puckering up a bit...
This isn't like a faulty part - GM ignition, airbags, what have you. This is a willful circumvention of the rules. I'm not expecting a buyback - much too costly. I've read there may be a simple $20 fix to the computer. The problem, as stated above, is the change in fuel economy and torque - obviousl...

I honestly don't expect any kind of compensation over this situation - the litigation will drag out for a long time and with the mileage I rack up on vehicles, I'll probably have sold it before anything comes of it. It's a great engine, though. With the six speed dsg tranny, it's extremely fun to dr...

Re: VW TDI owners - VW Management puckering up a bit...
I've really liked the idea of clean burning diesel passenger cars. One of the nicest sales-guy "business" cars I've ever used was a Mercedes diesel sedan. It wasn't quick, but it rolled on the highway, was quiet, and got nearly 700 miles to the tank. The engine was pretty bullet proof, using dual t...

Have hazy headlight lenses? I've got just the thing....
My buddy at work noticed my hazed lenses on my headlights this morning, and said wanna see a neat trick? He took out a can of 'off' - the insect repellent - sprayed it on a rag, and basically wiped all of the oxidation off the damn thing. Pretty sweet. Not sure how long it will last, but I can alway...

So glad I waited for the price to drop from $60 to $14, but I suppose that's pretty much like all video games - the lose their value over time pretty qui...
