Several members have suggested that folks may not realize they are posting to old threads and so after some thought we have added a warning of sorts to let members know that they are about to respond to an old thread. Here's the way it works:

You will see an old thread warning at the bottom of the reply editor if the thread has not been posted to in 145 days. You can still post, but will need to check a box affirming that you know it's an old thread before your post will load. Some folks might rather start a new thread instead and this will serve to remind them that this might be a better option.

I must have NOT checked the box.

So, I guess I can now be unpeaved.

Folks north of the Mason-Dixon making smart remarks about southerners.

Funny how the mind wanders when one is doing such a boring job on a Saturday.

find me a can of LEFT handed wax

Easy. It's on the same shelf as the left-handed smoke shifters, 50-yard coils of shoreline and the cans of relative bearing grease!

Drill, yes, I too use a drill. It is quiet. Rattling impact gun, really? They are heard across the campground.

My drill has a torque cut out, so it rattles when it cuts out, unless I've cranked it up tight so it doesn't release. Might sound like an impact gun to the uninformed when it releases. If you use the same torque setting, it lets you put the same amount of support on each jack, too. You can't really do that tightening them by hand.

It doesn't bother me any when others use them. It's a short rat-a-tat-tat for a second or so. Four times and they're done.

You would be shocked by the people in the Deep South that don't even know the true story of the Mason Dixon line.

I thought it was the civil war till I got into the region. My 90 year old grandmother was amazed when I told her the true story or meaning. It was not taught to us. We always thought Tennessee or Kentucky. Maybe Missouri. I will leave it at that.

Clue us in......wasn't it about where if certain people reached it, they were free?

Google. A bit of a disappointment.

Goes back to the 1700's

[Oaklevel]

Wikipedia.......

The Mason–Dixon line, also called Mason's and Dixon's line, was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute involving Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware in Colonial America. It is still a demarcation line among four U.S. states, forming part of the borders of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (originally part of Virginia). It represents the cultural border between the Southern United States and the Northern United States.

Not the origin of the Mason Dixon line. It was actually related to territory dispute between states in the late 1700's. Here is the story in Wikipedia
