I second Conchy Joe's - very casual, onthe water, great food and service. Lived here for 30 years and never had a problem over there.

Several years ago lying in bed one evening, my wife tells me that she had an interesting day and forgot to tell me what happened. Seems like she put her purse and keys down on the seat next to our one-year old daughter, buckled her into her car seat and then proceeded to lock her in. My first...

I'm 6 miles away - any prize for the shortest? How about having attended all 6 DFs? Looking forward to being there again this year!

4000w generator seems like a lot (30+ amps at 120v). If you are going solo and don't plan on using more than one power tool at a time, you might be able to get by with a smaller generator like 2500w (20 amps) - enough to run a DA and shop vac at the same time. Would likely be smaller, lighter...

My wife has a 2006 Odyssey with almost 100K miles on it and is has been great for us. My advice is to treat all of the carpet areas with Scotchgard spray. The carpets are in almost new condition and stains clean up very easily including the 24 ounce Dr Pepper that sat overnight - "I forgot about...

Video looks great. I've used Pro Show Gold, but it cost a fair bit more than $3. By the way when using an elipsis to indicate a pause, it should be only 3 dots. You used them at the end of a heading and at the begining of the second line - both are correct, but I would pick one style...

A couple tips when using wire nuts: strip the wires about a 1/4" more than you need, use a pair of pliers to grab the loose ends of the copper and twist tightly, trim the twisted pair to length needed, and finally install the wire nut. Give the wire nut a good tug to make sure it is on there...

I found a citrus based latex paint remover at Home Depot that worked well on removing latex paint from carpet - whatever you use, make sure you test it somewhere first and warn the customer that the cure might be worse than the disease...

After watching me painstakingly clean a neglected minivan, my brother told me a story about when used to work for a buy-here pay-here car lot years ago. When cars would come in from auction they would often pressure wash the interior carpets in place, hit them with a shop vac, and then turn the...

As the saying goes - it depends... Married or Single? Sole Proprietor or Corporation? 30% is a good staring point, but let's dig into the numbers (I'm and engineer with an MBA and do taxes on the side every year, so numbers are my thing). Let's assume that you are a sole proprietor. Federal...

Class 2 on Sunday for me, please!

DO NOT park at the Cracker Barrel unless you are eating there. I'm a local and they have an annoying habit of towing cars that are parked there for any length of time. They are right on top of the interstate and got tired of folks using their parking lot as a park and ride for I-95 communters.

I have 6.3 miles to drive (just over the bridge in Palm City).

My experience is that streaking is caused by either dirt left behind, or not completely removing the cleaning solution. Step one for me when cleaning glass is to remove as much dirt as possible. I start with a wet 12"x12" terry cloth towel (more bite for cleaning) that is wrung as tight as...

I discovered Peet's in Publix about 18 months ago, it was on sale and thought, why not. I'm hooked, At work they buy bulk Folgers for the masses, so I ended up putting a 4-cup drip machine in my office for Peet's. My favorite is their Sumatra - stronger flavor but not bitter like Starbucks. One...

Amazing event indeed. I missed last year's event, but made the first 3. Back in 2005, there were about a dozen or so of us, Max ordered pizza and in his typical spirit of generousity, he wheeled out a cart a few times piled with products to try and told us to help ourselves. Fast forward to this...

I did a cross Florida trip from Stuart to Ft Myers about 120 miles a couple years ago and this was the result - one way. I hit a DIY wash wand once there and once I got back and able to clean up the remnants with a little mineral spirits after a thorough bucket wash.

I took my 2-week old black Cadillac CTS to have the balance and alignment checked and they did the courtesy wash for me without asking. I picked the car up in the late afternoon and as they brought my car around from the back my heart sank. Every square inch of the car was trashed. I immediately...

Missed last year's event (out of town), but made years 1, 2, and 3. I'm in this year - no commute problens for me as I'm only one exit north! All I need is a year-4 DF t-shirt to make my collection complete.

I'm over on the east coast of Florida, and this time last year a trip to Naples made my car look like this. I used a car wash pressure wand, then my normal wash routine, followed by claying and it was good as new. I have a separate piece of clay that I use just for bugs on my front bumper works...
