If you are looking at adding storage, check out Unraid. I'm running Pihole and Wireguard, and a Minecraft server for my kids. It works well, and the support community is good.

Yeah - I think this is the plan. I am over-thinking it. Thanks for talking me down out of the tree guys.

Some banks forward "subscriptions" to future cards as a convenience to users. Great, unless the card is stolen. The bank can shut this link from the stolen card - but you may have to ask. Also - a newish scam is for the bad actor to load stolen card info into a digital wallet (Apple or...

Yeah - I gotta fix it, but just can't figure out how to do it. Off to youtube probably while I wait for another quote. It's on a concrete pad (like a big paver). I can't figure out how to get under and lift. The pad doesn't look that thick - and I could see me breaking it, or the refrigerant...

I called them - quoted $625 to level it out plus the "dispatch" charge for today. It's about an inch to the left. As Lubener point out above it is starting to pull on the refrigerant lines, so I probably need to do something before summer. I have to check the paperwork - they said it's a one...

About a 2 years ago, I had a new furnace and outdoor unit installed. The outdoor unit is now out of level. (The new unit is larger than the old, so they laid down runner/crusher type stone underneath.) Is 2 years too long for this to be handled at no cost to me, or a discounted price? (This...

Yes - I had the bracket installed under recall. There is some underbody rust, but not all that much. I have also driven many cars equipped with Plus Pop - not intentionally. There is a touch of rust starting on the back tailgate. Not visible yet, but slowly progressing. This made me laugh -...

Thanks all. I think I'm going to call my local dealer and see what a Road Force balance will run me. They have decent prices on parts, and I need to make a parts run anyway. Last question - anyone have experience with Walmart doing TPMS replacements? The batteries on the senders have been...

Thanks. Not sure who around here has a machine, other than a dealer. When I lived in DC, crazy Pat Goss used to scream about how great Road Force Balancing was. (He had a call radio show that was a trip, where he plugged his shop constantly). Long break in won't work unfortunately - this...

Huh - probably user error on my part. I'm basically in Harrisburg 17025. I'll check again. Still seeing over $140. I guess I didn't realize prices flexed by region.

Thanks everybody - all good comments. Current tires are Nokian Entyre C/S (225/65R17). They have felt out of balance since new, and are loud, even though it's not a truck tire. I replaced all four struts - and it got worse. (Now crappy tires, with cheap struts). A CRV isn't exactly a 911...

Anyone recommend a good mid-range tire a Honda grocery getter? Currently running Nokian's which are worse than OEM Goodyear trash GM used in the early 90's. I'm only only looking to keep this about another year (2 max). I don't want to spend Michelin money - but want something quiet, and...

I had a heat pump installed a few years back and it made a big difference, but the floor is still cold in January / Feb.

Thanks...appreciate it.

Quick pic of what I'm talking about. (Not to scale obviously).
