3600 rpm will give you 60 hertz. Most of these run a little fast , like you said, perhaps 3750, to account for the rpm dropping during a load.

My kid plays football in south Florida. He is diabetic so we WANT some glucose/sugar in his drinks. Good old Gatorade powder mixed with cold water works for us. He will usually drink water. Then have a sip of Gatorade. And alternate them. It helps for his condition.

No need for an almost $300 battery. I’d replace it under warranty if it still has a warranty or just swap it out for an $79 Walmart special. And yeah the battery cable needs replaced. Drown the battery post in dielectric grease and much less likely to have that kind of corrosion in the future.

Maybe a loss of translation. Probably meant something else. I’ve never heard of oil described as gentle.

If your car is that sensitive to oil pressure and oil flow, I would absolutely only use an OEM oil filter from now on.

Ford makes a heck of a police vehicle. They are durable and can beat on them and they just keep going and going. My county tried Hybrid Ford Explorers for fuel savings and they found out the fuel savings just were not there. Maintenance and repair cost went up big time with the Hybrids so that...

Generator maintenance day. These are my backup units and just sit on the garage shelf most of the time. 1) Wen 4000 watt generator (backup, never used) Out- 5 year old SuperTech SAE30 with 3 hours run time In- SuperTech SAE30 2) Champion 2000 watt inverter generator #1 Out- Delo 15W40 with...

I call them thermoscreams. Loud abnoxious pads. Hate them. Never had good luck with them personally.

My current mower is a Toro Timecutter 42 inch zero turn. I have one acre yard. They sell at Lowe’s for $3000-$3500 or so. I got mine used with 40 hours for about $1600. Stole it. They are fun to use. Easy to learn. I don’t think an old guy would have any issues learning how to drive it. It will...

eBay almost always sides with the buyers. If one part of the listing says free returns, then I would go with that.

Call 3-5 electricians and have them come give you some quotes. They also will give you an idea of what needs done and might have different ideas to get the job done than what you have come up with.

I buy the Amazon specials. They last 5-6 years. I just swapped out two of them last week. I quadrupled the size of one that had a tiny battery for much longer run times on my modem if the power goes out.

The trick for trimmer line is to store it in water. It’s hydroscopic and MUCH more durable and less brittle if it soaks in water.

I have two Echo trimmers. I bought a Milwaukee M18 battery trimmer a year ago and the Echo trimmers just sit. I prefer the battery powered trimmer. My lot is four lots, so it’s about an acre. Battery is the way to go. True story- Hurricane Ian, cat4/5, ripped all the tops off the oak trees and...

Google omeprazole and you’ll probably never take another one. I will admit that it does a good job with heartburn. I use over stuff now…
