I like them sauteed in butter.

Yeah, that's a solution. The heated (leather) steering wheel still felt mighty fine, though... Bob

I wonder how much that stuff costs. Probably not much. The whole AWP used to cost $400, and came with the LSD, heated seats, heated mirrors, and the windshield element. -juice
#2485 of 14566 I'm sure... by rsholland Nov 15, 2002 (12:02 pm)
at first, people laughed at heated seats, heated outside mirrors, etc.. So I'm not surprised the reluctance to accept a heated steering wheel. I think using it one time will convince most naysayers. Bob

What's next? Heated foot pedals? I drive bare foot some times. Laugh, but they already have power pedals, so it wouldn't take any more wiring! -juice
#2487 of 14566 I can't estimate... by rsholland Nov 15, 2002 (12:07 pm)
it was 2 trailer loads of leaves this morning to the landfill. Must have had a senior moment... Bob

Now I can't find that yard vac I was thinking of. It looked like a chipper/shredder on wheels. If I see it I'll let you know. -juice
#2489 of 14566 It was a MUST by ladywclass Nov 15, 2002 (1:56 pm)
for me I HAD to have the heated seats ... maybe it doesn't sound cold to some of you folks in Canada .. but my first winter here (from the tropical gulf coast of Texas to lake effect snow country) we had LOTS of mornings where I left with temps hovering around zero Fahrenheit or below with wind chills to the - 20's below ... I could brush off the snow, start the car, turn on the seats and take off without 'warming up' the car. By the time I got down the block the seats were warming up, and wasn't long til the heater kicked in ...but I can tell you the seats heat up MUCH faster than the 'heater' ... lol

Juice: Copper sulfate sprayed on the mushrooms. Kills the fungus. Also recommended for root rot. Leaves: They either blow into the neighbor's yard, or wait for the mulching mower next spring. If my son wants to earn a little extra cash, he grabs the rake I'd vote for the heated wheel. Don't wear gloves when I drive - too much of a sense of lack of control/grip. Cheers! Paul

G'day The bad news on the mushrooms is that adding more wood chips just gives more food for them. Typically the fungus is feeding on rotting wood of some sort well under the surface. The mushrroms themselves are just the fruiting bodies for the fungus. Dramatically altering the doil conditio under the mushrooms by say adding lime to increase the pH may reduce the problem but I have had no luck. Alternatively, you can dig the whole area over and remove whatever is providing the food source. Cheery thought though is that frequently the fungi are eating something eighteen inches underground. The alternative is to tell the kids to look for fairies under the mushrooms. Make sure they are edible though. You wouldn't want the kids to chomp on a hallucinegenic one or they may really find fairies. Cheers Graham
