10 before 10, 5 after 5.

What did Dean Martin say when he saw an eel?

Where exactly is Oil Creek?

As a newly-55 year old beer lover, I have to say that these are wonderful times we are living in. As mentioned earlier, Pennsylvania alone has a bunch of top-notch microbrewers: Stoudt (a...

This interests me because I'm in the midst of losing 20# over 1 year. I use some software that sets my calorie level, and I scrupulously log everything I eat, plus my exercise.

A rule of thumb...

Yep. Been using Sno-Seal for a long, long time. I rub it on and heat it up with a hair dryer.

§908 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code makes it an offense to make, repair, sell, or otherwise deal in, use, or possess any "offensive weapon." "Offensive weapon" is defined as " Any [long list of...

Dumb question: Is it pronounced like the French, "mow-PAN"? Always wondered.

That's been my experience. I grew up assuming all 2,167 miles were like the Port Clinton to Palmerton.

You are a wise man. How many people ignore advice like that and end up hurting themselves, or worse?

I'm not a hammock zealot like some, but twice now I've been hanging in one, in a hellacious thunderstorm, raining coming at me in near-horizontal sheets, just waiting to get wet because I know that...

90+ and muggy today in Central Pa. At least we had a real spring for a change. Got an invite to canoe the Swattie. Really ought to do some house painting. Hmmm.

Lotta rats, mice, and vermin in Fenway. Hawk heaven.

Getting across the creek will be easy, even on a bike. It narrows upstream.

Amateur hour, like New Year's Eve.

Belated Sláinte to everyone.

Whatever works and keeps you motivated is fine. However, these two exercises require free weights (barbells), which many people will not have. Plus, both have to be done with correct form or you...
