Goodbye T.Dub

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 22:54:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - This isn't really an opinion to recommend using, or not using TWA, since as of Wednesday, January 10, 2001, they will cease to exist. I am sorry to hear this news. I am sorry to read so many negative epinions of this company. When Howard Hughes (the...

Drinking sweet oats

Sun, 31 Dec 2000 01:21:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I have to admit, I don't normally drink oatmeal stout, or any stout for that matter. The last time I had an oatmeal stout, it was something Scottish and I can't recall the name. I do recall that it was fantastic, hearty and the perfect drink for a cold...

Nice smile.

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 23:40:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I have used two electronic toothbrushes. I used a Sonicare for about 18 months and have used the Braun 3D for the past 7 months. Both are good products, however, I feel the Braun is the better appliance.

The Sonicare, was larger and hard to...

Hughes Networks D4532 DIRECTV: Vast wasteland times xxx

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 00:25:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - We bought a directv system 8 months ago. Our cable company (Time Warner,) was going digital. The satellite companies were coming out of the wood work with deals to compete with the new digital format of T.W. Promises of deals that sounded spectacular...

My memory.

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 00:20:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I have had the Palm IIIx for almost a year. My wife bought it for me for Christmas last year. I told her I wanted an electronic organizer just to keep phone numbers and small notes. The Palm has become much more to me than an electronic phonebook. It is...

My kids drink vegetables.

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 02:18:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - My wife thinks I am a freak of some sort. If we decide to buy something like a small appliance for example, we can't just go to a store and buy it, no. I have to fire up the computer and collect reams of data on the products in order to pick the one I...

Nextel Mobile Phone Service in Kansas City: Must have improved.

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 23:57:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I just read the three previous opinions regarding Nextel service in and around the Kansas City area. From my experience, over 6,000 minutes since June, 2000. I, nor my company have really had any problems with coverage or sound quality.

We are...

Great taco pizza.

Sun, 17 Dec 2000 03:22:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Not a big pizza eater I. However, four out of my five children could eat it three times a day if allowed to do so. (my 5th child has no teeth yet.) At any rate, having five children, wife and I both work full time jobs. Kids activities after school,...

Not for Margaritas.

Sat, 16 Dec 2000 00:20:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - If you really like the taste of tequila, try Patron. Don't waste this excellent nectar in a margarita. I wouldn't recommend it for shooters either. If you want a margarita or to do shots, buy something a like montezuma or Cuervo. (I have to admit, I like...

My staple.

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 01:39:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I clearly recall my very first Tecate. It was mid July in 1984, I was a sophomore at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I had made friends with a uy named Alferdo Varella, a citizen of Jalisco, Mexico that was a premed student at MU. He had invited me...

Not worth the money.

Thu, 14 Dec 2000 23:45:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - The Bosch 3315K is a 12 volt "T" grip cordless drill. The "K" at the end of 3315 denotes "kit." Which means it comes with a plastic carry case, two batteries and a battery charger.

To begin with, it is light,...

As good as it gets.

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 23:49:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Metabo wins again. It is harder to find this brand than the other tools. It is worth the hunt. I am comparing this tool mainly with the Milwaukee Magnum, the DeWalt heavy duty, the Makita and the Bosch. The Metabo wins hands down. I use this drill mainly...

An excellent performer.

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 00:03:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I use this tool to drill holes in joists with timber abutting the joist. To drill in joists to run electrical cable through and for several other applications. When we add cantilevered decks to existing structures, we bolt the support beams to existing...

Worst tool I have ever owned.

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 22:50:44 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I bought this piece of junk at a home improvement store to finish a job because the tool crib had all of ours signed out for the week. I thought I would buy one of the less expensive models the store offered because all I really needed to do was cut 90...

Like buttuh

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 02:52:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Cuts like butter. Here I am again on the tool page. I write about what I know well. This Bosch is a winner in all categories. My main use for this saw is to cut sink openings in formica topped counter tops. This saw works. I tried a Skil, (Bosch's parent...

Not bad, not great.

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 00:47:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - The good: Bought new at a "fleet" dealer for under $10,000. F-150, auto OD, A/C, 4.6 Triton V-8, AM/FM, PS, PB. Long bed with full liner, tow pkg.

Has started every day, runs good. Roomy, good power, comfortable. Fairly reliable.
...

the best there is, period.

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 03:03:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Yes, it is a little more expensive than others. It is worth the higher cost. It is hard to find but worth the search. You need torque? It more than doubles, almost triples the highest rated "name" brands. The battery life is as good as anyone...

No equal

Sun, 10 Dec 2000 02:29:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - I realize that opinions are pretty much subjective, given the wants, needs and skil level of each person using a particular product or, similar products. I have used most every commercial saw made. Skil, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Craftsman etc. I personally use...

it works

Fri, 8 Dec 2000 01:59:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Not going to lie. It isn't a total replacement for an air nailer. However, it works just fine. What I have done with it and am still doing with it. I have framed room additions, and put down decking.

I have run at least 12,000 3 1/2"...

A yellow 500

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 02:52:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Riken - Make no mistake, the i700 is the i500 with a yellow faceplate and a piece of rubber wrapped around a small portion of the phone. Not that it is a bad product by any means. Nextel calls it "ruggedized." They claim that it meets military...
