As mtobey said, thank you for the thoughts and prayers and call to action to get things accomplished in the area. And I would have to say that I have never really realized that there were groups/organizations around beyond the ones normally heard about in national news. While my experience of floodi...

I highly recommend the AO Safety Worktunes hearing protectors. AM/FM radio built in, digital tuning, and you can connect an mp-3 player if you wish. Great for ear protection in the shop or mowing the yard. Plus they are comfortable! BPR when i was working at lowes, in the tools/hardware dept we act...

I was looking at a fancy little wall cabinet that's rated for this purpose, but the 4 gallon unit cost around $300... After some of the other purchases that have been made and other...
