    Can I delete 50 gigs from my D partition, & merge it to my C partition?

    I got an external harddrive to keep my photos/music/docs. The first was 1TB. I unplugged it so many times the laptop did not recognize it. I could not get a new cord, so I got another; it is 2TB-WD Passport HHD. When Windows 10 came out Microsoft wanted me to do a backup every 30 days or so...

    I made an insurance policy spreadsheet

    Speaking about the "Frog" slowly boiling in a pot of warm-hot water; I lived in Colorado. A talkshow host was speaking about an insurance company-Sentry Ins out of WI. If you did not have a claim on your auto in 5 years, 50% discount. They sent a check for no claims; I would endorse it and...

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    I lived in a Condo in the Denver Metro area in 1983 and it was illegal to back in. A fine-HOA Rules. Reasoning was it put exhaust fumes against the buildings. People have their windows open in the summertime (no ac then).

    energy usage calculation for home cooling

    Since you want to sleep in a cold room, shut the bedroom door. Put this Inverter in your bedroom window (Midea 12,000BTU Smart Inverter U-shaped window unit #RMW12QW-B). A new one is around $500. Midea did a recall on sold units. Walmart is selling the "restored" units for $249, free...

    Slow leak on new installed tires

    I had this problem with Cooper Discovery 235/70/17 tires. I installed them October 2015. I had retired and my 2005 F150 sat in the driveway. In the Spring, I noticed one tire was low (right rear) about 20psi. I removed the wheel/tire and checked for a nail/stem with soapy water-nothing. I had...

    Valvoline 10w-40 and Rotella T4 15-w40 JASO MA / MA2

    I bought my 2012 Kawasaki ZX14r new. I used Kawasaki conventional 10w40 oil for a couple of changes. Then I read about Rotelli T4 and switched in 2015. My Bike shifts smoothly for about 3000 miles and then I change the oil, not the filter. Oil opinions have been beaten to death for 25+ years...

    My old LP's

    I still have my 45rpm's from high school (1965-69). I lived on a farm in Kansas. Dad finally installed a Radio on the Tractor so I could listen to AM stations. It was a fancy radio with a CB radio built-in. The CB radio's reach was about 8 miles. Dad could always contact me from the road-"Big...
