Yes, electric. Trying to decide if the barrel sauna or traditional flat is a better option, I guess it just comes down to aesthetic preference.

Outdoor Home Sauna

Posted by HBomb on 9/22/25 at 10:52 am
Unfortunately my gym does not have a sauna, so I’m considering purchasing one. Does anyone here have one? Or know of any good brands or ones to stay away from?

Seems you can use your HSA to buy one, which seems like a pretty good deal.
I’ve always left mine open in Dallas. Only time I ever close is if there is a winter storm

My wife and I went once in Interlaken, prior to kids. It was awesome and a massive rush. Don’t have much desire to do it again though.

Granfors bruk if you don’t mind spending the extra. I have their splitting maul and it’s great

Traveling from Montreal to Quebec

Posted by HBomb on 5/15/25 at 2:54 pm
Hello, does anyone have experience with taking a train from Montreal to Quebec City? In a few weeks ’ll be leaving a bachelor party in Montreal and meeting my family in Quebec for the start of our summer vacation.

I’m thinking business class on a train will give me a few hours to do some soul searching and rejuvenate for my family. Any input is appreciated.
I think you can remove the bracing no problem

Well, not saying you’re wrong, but a live oak is actually a white oak
If it’s already on the ground buy yourself an echo Timberwolf, cut it in pieces and place on curb for bulk trash.

Composite deck cleaner

Posted by HBomb on 3/2/25 at 11:29 am
Does anyone have a good composite deck cleaner? I was using Corte clean with pretty good results but appears they may be out of business.

I have a pretty large deck and with typical mildew spots. I’ve used 30 second cleaner in the past and it seems to change the color so trying to avoid any bleach based options. Also heard it makes it more susceptible for mildew to return.

Really wishing I had gone 100% pvc.
Just look at the bill from the lab, it will say how your insurance covered the charges from the labs ordered. This is a very normal situation. There a million different policies out there that pay differently.

I have a 98 Z71 that has a parasitic battery drain. I installed a remote battery disconnect and problem solved.

Also have this pass lock issue where the security doesn’t let me start it sometimes until I do a 10 minute reset, but that’s another issue with an old truck
My wife decided we needed an organic turkey($65), “because you don’t know where the others come from.”

re: Front license plates

I got pulled over one time in Tyler, Tx for speeding. He checked for my front license plate, which I do not have. He asked if I had ever been told that I needed, to which I replied no, and he said good answer. He gave me a warning and sent me on my way.

I spoke with one of my neighbors who is a retired Dallas pd about the front license plate. He said it’s just another reason they can pull you over, but other than that not really anything.

Nice, thank you. I’ll check them out

Quebec Black Bear Hunt

Posted by HBomb on 8/25/24 at 7:12 pm
Has anyone on the board done a black bear hunt in Quebec Canada? One of my buddies is planning on having his bachelor party in Montreal next year and we are thinking about a few of us going early and getting in a hunt. Considering either spring or fall.

Seems there are lots of outfitters. Just wondering if anyone had any good experiences and if there are dos or don'ts. TIA

I bought a pair of xtra tuff after I went to Alaska and saw everyone wearing them. Super comfortable and long lasting
Check out mosquito sniper. It’s a pump sprayer system that you hook up with a gas blower. I have a backyard full of bamboo and trees and this thing is super effective. Spray everything
That’s awesome. I have some creek property in northwest Arkansas that I’ve been scouring to find an arrowhead. There’s literally millions of rocks everywhere, so I’m not sure if I’d even notice one if it was in front of my face
