I’m a long time TurboTax user. Two years ago I had some things come down the pike & had a more unusual tax situation, yes divorce was part of it. With TurboTax I had a huge tax bill that I owed. I decided to go to a reputable tax prepared in town, 5 star reviews. They came out within $100s of my...

I have an ongoing trapping program in my shed, 4 traps. I just caught a mouse yesterday, after a month+ hiatus. I ramped it up a year ago when I started seeing them while getting stuff out.

My fridge makes strange noise after running, but it’s working fine, 30 years old. I plan to run it to failure.

Yeah, to many years they can get almost frozen in place. For most vehicles, near 75-80k is time for me, years factor in also.

1/2 ton Silverado, light towing at most. I shoot for 40.

Sorry didn’t read everything. Did the owner ever inspect their own tires then think about replacing? Did they have 70k miles? I think I could take most any tire and run it to failure. OBTW, years ago I ran some Wilderness AT tires, no problems.

I went on a 32 cal kick a year or so ago, bought 2. The first was a Taurus 327 on discount at Palmetto State, a little heavier than the UC. The next at nearly the same time was the S&W UC, 32 H&R mag. Since I’m a reloader, I set up for both. To me, full power 327 loads(in the Taurus) are a...

Informative thread, to those inclined. I just got in line with the dropping of the $200 tax stamp, no that wasn’t the pivotal reason for ordering. I’ve been on the fence for years. I’ve been around them some with others, never owned myself. I ordered a Nosler lightweight ‘can’ in 30 cal. My...

I did one yesterday, went well, but kinda cool in the garage, 40+ a little. I’ll check today, maybe use a hair dryer. Mine is low and between the driver & passenger, a slight smudge is livable. I didn’t want the chip to spread.

I was looking for plugs a while back, somewhat older Chevy truck. When I cross-referenced plugs, newer & better options came up. What I’m getting it, not sure it’s always best to blindly go with original, OEM plugs. Not that they would be a wrong or bad choice, I just like to check options first.

I have a Lennox Pulse, 1996 vintage, still going strong. I’ve had maintenance periodically over the years, often use the wood stove to supplement. Most things have been relatively minor, trying to keep it running as able.

Especially with AWD and then only a lower need for winter driving, I’d get better quality all season. I didn’t read everything, but I’m sure the ‘cross climate’ have been mentioned a bunch. What goes hand & hand with good tires is careful driving. That applies to any adverse conditions on...

Yeah those ‘cross climate would be a great choice, especially when not really needing dedicated Winter tires. Not sure who was first but now there are copycats out there.

Thanks, I’ll look into it.

I got a good deal on fleabay, 2 truck tires, $205 shipped one money. There are almost new with any tread wear, but kinda old. They spent their life as spares, under the bed, witness marks. They will be used until worn out.
