From the "for what it's worth" file: The reserve handle pouch on my Handbury is in-line with the chest strap. Looks like that handle pouch is below the strap. Count me as another vote for Wonderhog. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Brother! Yep, not fat (excessively), not "unhealthy" but still taking a handful twice a day. It started with a thyroid replacement (seems we caught it just in time), then after a heart attack I find out heart disease, specifically high cholesterol, killed most all of the males on my mother's side of the family. I'm 55, could probably pass for 40, 6 foot 2 (a tick under 2 meters) & 210 lbs (a tick over 95 kilos). A word of warning: If you haven't already realized it, travel just took on a whole new & aggravating dimension. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Wait, I'm the dishwasher... I'm ready. Both snow blowers are in the garage ready to rock. Just uncovered the satellite dish. Had to go through knee-deep snow to do it. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Ever see any of these? http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=video+catnip&search_type=&aq=f I just had a 2-month-old kitten roaring around here like the floor was afire. He took great delight in jumping on my short stack of Parachutist magazines, skidding/scattering them around... Repeatedly. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Root canals are pretty much painless procedures. I think someone said the worst part was the first shots. That's what my two were: The worst part was the shots to get started. The rest of the procedure was easy enough. There were no issues with temporary caps either except to stay away from sticky foods/candies. Don't think they will feel "funny" or anything, either. If they're done correctly, after a couple days you'll feel perfectly normal, & when the permanent cap is attached (provided it fits correctly) you shouldn't notice any difference. Worst part of my first root canal was the specialist, both hands in my mouth, the drill going, looking at his assistant while giving her instructions. Made sure my regular dentist knew how unhappy I was about that, & that I wouldn't go back to that specialist again. Second was done by my dentist's partner, just as painless as before. Full recovery in a couple days, just as before. Now, wisdom teeth... That's another matter. First one came out while in "the service" so it was a fairly painful procedure with little in the way of pain meds afterward. The other 3 came out about 5 years later. The procedure was less painful, but breaking the one impacted tooth out was "interesting." I didn't follow the after surgery procedures very well & ended up with a "dry socket." All I'll say about that is this: FOLLOW DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER!!!!!!! If you think an abscess or a cavity hurts... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I was taught by my father, who did that for a living, then later sold plumbing supplies. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Nick is an old OLD friend that's been a tarbender in DC since the early 70's. I think he's been in the Sheridan for the last 20 years or so. I imagine he'd be a bit surprised if someone walked up to him & said, "Mr. Dave from Trenton says you're a putz." When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

T/H, those are cast iron pipe & fittings. It is not welded, those joints are packed with oakum & then filled with lead, AKA "a lead joint." This style waste pipe was commonly used up to the 1970's when PVC & later ABS plastics took over. To drop that flange, I'd cut the iron pipe on the horizontal run & use a rubber coupling to connect the iron to PVC (google "fernco coupling").

If you grew up in & around NYC, you should remember Sonny Fox & WONDERAMA on Sunday mornings (WNEW channel 5). Back in the "early days" Sunday mornings were dead air or religious programming, then along came Sonny Fox & kids programming from 7AM until noon!! It didn't take long before they were cut back to a 2 hour show... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

"Some men are Baptists, others Catholics -- my father was an Oldsmobile man." Discovered Shepherd on the radio in 1966 (WOR in NYC) & listened off & on until 1973.

Yea, but... I'm old too, so we can commiserate about, "...those damn kids & that damn noise they call music" along with the ever-popular, "I remember when that cost..." You know, now that I think about it, this may not be such a great idea. We could just end up complaining & forget what we were supposed to be doing.
