We bought one of the Midea inverter Portable A/C units from Costco when our house A/C went out, it worked very well came with a adapter to vent it out the window, as a bonus was much quieter than expected.

I remember in 1978 my dad drove onto a ford lot and asked me to jump out and check the sticker price on a F150 Custom 4X4. When I hopped back in and and told him it was $10000 and some change I thought he was going to faint and he couldn't drive off fast enough. That equates to approximately...

I'm surprised by all of the people that state the trailer hitch is there to save them from rear end hits or has saved them from one, I've driven a full size truck for 43 years and even though i don't feel it, I must be awfully lucky for never having that problem and I live in the city with the...

Those don't look anything like the ones we were eating in 90-91, I believe back then the #4 was an omelet🤮

Around Memphis most of the fast food workers smell of Skunk Weed, the tables are dirty and its a roll of the dice on if you will get what you ordered, except for Chick Fil A. They always manage to be clean, polite and accurate, now if they can do it it stands to reason the others could too.

It's amazing how everyone has such a different experience, I've very rarely if ever had an issue at a Culvers but Freddies here just sucks. I ordered a single hamburger meal at Freddies one time, everything was good except there was no meat in the hamburger (where's the BEEF) All in how they are...

I used to like going there when I lived in Everett

We rented a cabin in Georgia just south east of Chattanooga and to my surprise there are scorpions there! I was alerted to this by the blood curdling screams of my wife and daughter while I was trying to take a shower.

I can guarantee you it is more than a software change, we have converted from an A5F (Airbus) to a D1F (Douglas) and there are many parts that need to be changed out and it takes a crew a few shifts to accomplish.

The engines on the MD11 are CF6-80C2D1F's and they are configured different between the wing and the tail, UPS may also have some with PW4462's. I think all of their 767's have CF6-80C2B6F's and the 747 is another variant, there is probably a way to convert them but I don't know how expensive it...

2 are back in service and have been operating for a little over a week now.

IOS can do this in a way, You can control the volume on or off on the side of the phone. In contacts every contact has an option for emergency bypass for a call or text, so you can set the call ringer to emergency bypass for your parents and even with the ringer turned off their call will ring...

I had a Ford dealer in my area do the same thing, show up for my appointment and they tell me the tech will not be able to look at it for at least 4 weeks. I say so I need to bring it back in 4 weeks, what good is an appointment? (the Seinfeld episode about taking the reservation pops into my...
