Has anyone heard of or looked into this new game coming out from Bungie? Sounds like alot of fun. They are calling it an Action Adventure game. No release date as yet. Just looking for something more involved than the COD series... the maps are all having the "I could play them with my eyes closed" feel.

Fun game with the first day troubles, the silencer does help alot. Kinda like the exploding paper airplane, maybe cuz it's new. RC XD appears to be one at a time... miss running three in a row. Runner gunners are hard to deal with in such tight maps. Did the midnite madness with my sil, had a good time playing til the following afternoon, tho the numbers were poor at the end. Fun game enjoying it.

Very sorry for your loss. Hard decision to make that's for sure. The good ones are never replaced. I hope you find one sooner rather than later. Don't second guess, when it's time it's time.

Water for me too. Some of that stuff seems a little scary to apply to any flesh you wish to eat. Just a thought.

Looks like a piece of grill brick to me????

I like maters

fishwidow; Do you ever have any problems with your tile floor? Have you had any of your windows crack? Some friends and neighbors have had their tempered thermopanes crack.... They think it's the heat, I think it's movement from their slabs, as the floors have cracked also. Good idea having no knots for the benches..... them knots sweat out sap for some time. Lots of good thoughts/ideas. I haven't decided on which way to go yet. Log style has it's appeal. I've got enought cedar logs to do this but I'm torn. I do need practice on my log scribing and notching but it's a waste compared to getting those logs sawn up. I would get alot more projects out of that wood by getting it sawn, that's for sure. Any how, lots of time for the dreaming/drawing stage.

My solution would be to dig up the line in the spring, replace the drain pipe and wrap with a heat tape (I know they say to never wind them... or use the metal ones), insulate with the pipe wrap and insulate again w/ 1 1/2" yellow styrene strips, bottom,sides and top. Back fill carefully and don't walk or drive over your line. I realize this don't help now. I have thawed sewer lines with hot salt water. Sorry for your troubles.

Ya the convience of have a sauna in the house is real nice. I used it daily..... had one in a place I was renting once. With a outdoor model it's too much of a pain to plumb water, at least up here, so the bucket brigade for water. Yes the door has to open out. Glad to hear that nobody has moisture problems with the indoor models. I've been trying to come up with a good idea to load a wood burner from the outside..... no matter how careful there ends up being ash or bark on the floor. I wish to have the pipe through the wall instead of the roof. So I'll probably be making my own stove. With all of this sauna talk, a good sweat would be nice. Standing outside in your own cloud of steam on a cold evening..... sure clears the head and relaxes the body.

That's the stuff!Anybody else out there? I prefer the wood heat as well. The heat recovery seems much faster. I have found that if you keep the coals down and have more flames, the heat/steam are more even. Not heard of any such wood.... interesting tho. I've helped build/design a few saunas, from cobbled up elcheapos to one that is in a "Minnetonka Mansion". The cheapest was made out of a large power company wire spool taken apart covered with slabs and wrapped in plastic. Have also made them stackwood style, log cabin style and framed. I'm planning on a free standing one myself, not sure on the design yet. Really like standing outside to cool off, much easier to do with no neighbors. One thing I'm going to avoid is having a cement floor, too much mass to heat up. With the sauna in the basement, did you plumb to your floor drain? Any moisture problems because of the sauna? Does anybody have electric light inside? Better end for now, if I get a cup of coffee, I'd end up going on all day.

Saunas are they way to go!! Very relaxing with the heat turning the muscles to mush. What does anybody use for heat/fuel? Stove? What are your saunas made out of? Kits? Where do you have your sauna? Basement, garage, free standing? What size is your sauna? I miss having one, I hope to add that to the project list. Would like to hear others thoughts and ideas.

The old saying "Locks just keep the honest men honest", unfortunately holds a little water (or ice??). If someone is determined they will get in. I've kept my shack simple and rather plain jane as not to draw alot of attention, tho it's warm and comfy. I too, leave nothing inside and just latch the door from the outside. Inside I do have a sign that reads.... "Are you going to notice the little red dot when you step out the door?" Works for me.

My buddy uses silicone spray on his. He also brings his inside and sets it up to dry/thaw out after each use.

Awesome auger as everyone has said. The only draw back to me has been the re-sharpening of the blades. Just a little expensive.... 30/ set and new ones at 50.

You must mean Snowshoe Grog.............. equal parts brandy and peppermint schnapps. Had a uncle that enjoyed a little too much the night before (in deer camp, many moons ago). He must have been a little "groggy" yet, as he fell out of his deer stand and brused a couple ribs. That beverage never made it to camp again.

Got out of the sauna to another treat....... what a display!!

44 and counting. Young enough to.......and old enough to ahhh, what were we talking about again?

You'll use it if you have it and and wonder "what if?", if you don't. I have the dual beam. Good luck on your choice [This message has been edited by nunzio (edited 09-23-2004).]

I was very happy that the Vikings were able to break-in their new stadium for them! Why, yes I do DISlike the Pack. [This message has been edited by nunzio (edited 09-15-2004).]

Dave; It took awhile for me to get an answer from the DNR. Dan Wood; Thats what I was told.... that it's against the law and the law would need to be changed to allow a passenger. I had several comments to the effect that no law enforcement would give a ticket for allowing a handicapped passenger..... I just wanted to be legal about it and not play on sympathies or worry about someone having a bad day.
