    Got a question on American rules football ( NFL) . After a field goal or touch down on the kick off the ball get kicked threw the end zone resulting in a touch back . Why does the kicking team still runs into the end zone ?

    I've seen several with steel roofs and they look good in a dark green.

    Their brakes sometimes fail... I guess they think it makes them look good. If the weather is cold though it would help warm them up a bit.

    I think they are on special teams and not offense-so if there is no return, they have to get off the field anyway.

    Has anyone ever used a bagster bag? It is maybe 2 cubic yards of waste that waste management picks up. $130 for the pickup (with coupon). You can get more value with a dumpster rental but with the bagster, you can keep it around as long as you want. That is good for me because cleaning out the garage and basement takes a few tries.
    Just scheduled a pick up today. I think we have done one about every 1.5 years. Little pricy but overall good experience.

    My son used it on a bathroom remodel. It worked out well for him. The Home Depot stopped carrying them a few years back. I thought they were a great idea.

    I think they are the biggest con job out there for waste disposal. Most people don't understand that the pickup of the bagster costs so much. It seems that bagsters sit forever before they get picked up. I actually finally saw a bagster pick-up truck the other week. It's the first one I've ever seen. Which partially explains why bagsters sit around a while. Not enough trucks to pick them up, in addition to the high cost.


    A dumpster is a better value. But if it works for you, then that's all that matters. Our local trash service is a " if it fits, it ships" deal. I've smashed things to make them fit. After a couple weeks, it's all gone.

    Dark green or dark blue looks great on engineered log homes. The one I like in when I lived in Maine was the dark blue steel roof.

    I Google imaged that combo just now, some of them did look decent. Definitely pulls off green a lot better than shingles. Green shingles I do not like at all.

    Never heard of it.

    With ours we can put out large items and no extra charge. There are some exceptions, like hazardous waste. Tires also but every summer there are special dates and places where we can take them at no cost. Same thing with hazardous waste but only one place for that.

    The garage heat situation was undetermined last night. I set the thermostat to 58 and when I woke up it was 55....but there is a 3 degree dead band. So maybe it did fine...maybe it didn't. I'll try again tonight with the dead band removed.

    They have been pretty good about pickup and come within 5 days of the requested time. It did sit for a while while i filled it up but that is because of my slow azz. I don't have a bulk trash day in my area - I am pretty rural. Also, we only put out one bag of trash a week so regular trash is very inexpensive.

    I will be glad to get that bagster out of here... then I will have a free drive way to get a chip-drop delivery of logs. Yee-haw.

    I opened up a new checking account, my current credit union has a new online banking format for cell phones (they cater to university students), there are no sort or print options. I went to search, sort and print hotel and dining charges so I can get reimbursed. I finally found most of them by searching by hotel name etc., but I don't know the names of places the guys ate, you know? Then there is no print function, zero. Gal at bank told me to "print screen" each transaction. Umm, 'ain't nobody got time for that'.

    Cracked me up, I went from a youth oriented place to another that had a checking account option "50+" :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:
