Re: Recommendation for a good mechanical keypad? - Yesterday
Ya ain't gonna beat twelve bucks, might as well just go for it. I've got a couple of USB wired num keypads that were more costly back when. Nothing special, but they work. But for good, and mechanical, I've got a great, old, as in ADB old, wired keypad, buried somewhere (if I didn't give to Harbourmaster years ago, who bequeathed the stash to Pat before changing coasts).

Re: Anyone know if Costco price matches Microcenter? - Yesterday
QuoteSpeedy When visiting a Microcenter it’s best to not bring any form of payment. I tried that about 20 years ago, but then they had a good spiff, something like an extra $100 off for getting a Microcenter CC, and I ended up walking out w/ an iBook (CTO spec) and a "free after rebate" inkjet printer. Gotta try no form of payment or identification next time. ==by Buzz - Tips and Deals
Re: CFP Rankings out - Yesterday
I say let the mascots fight it out....... Dubs and Bevo probably wouldn't even fight each other, and Michigan doesn't have a mascot, so they'd have to use a real, wild wolverine, who would literally devour Big Al. After that, the wild wolverine would chow down down on Bevo, making him extremely unhappy. I suspect Bevo would concede after giving up a full meal to the ferocious Michigander.

Re: Do I need a smoker? - 5 days ago
Quoterich in distress You don’t mention what gas grill you have, but if it has enough grill space, you could smoke on it. Three burners would be dead easy. 2Bs on low, mid B would be where the food sits. If it doesn’t fit, 1B on mid, the rest for the bird, rotate at least once. Set a piece of wood over by the fire for smoke, or a foil pack with smoking chips. With either method, I’d tryby Buzz - Tips and Deals

Any college football pros here? What happened to last Iron Bowl TD? - 8 days ago
Alabama's last minute, come from behind TD was amazing enough, in and of itself, but after the ensuing kickoff, Auburn threw a pick-six as time expired. That took the final score to 33 - 24, since the teams left the field without attempting the PAT. Later yesterday all the networks showed the final as 27 - 24, and no mention was made of the pick-six. So what happened to the 'Tide's pick-six?by Buzz - Tips and Deals

If it's a serial numbered item, you're probably best off returning the proper item. Why take a needless risk?
