Darn. I paid 5.97 for the last 5 of that filter my Walmart had. Please tell me you bought all of them for $3.50.

In a few years, I’ll show you under the valve covers of my frontier VQ40 which I am running full synthetic at 5K OCI. In the meantime you can view my xterra which has always had either conventional or semi syn at 3750 OCI...

People always show this, but fail to mention wages were regularly increasing 8 to 10% a year. So sure, lock into a mortgage in 1979, and the next year it was 10% less comparatively to your salary. I also like that they stop at the peak in 1981, because that is when rates peaked. They declined...

What were you connecting to, and I assume there are adapters from anything to anything?

Who knows where any slang word comes from. Its not specific to oil filters. Its a slang term used for wholesaler or middleman - aka "jobber".

"jobber" means wholesaler or wholesale, so in this context its filters you would buy in bulk, usually cheap. I don't think anything you would get at a parts store or walmart would count. They do sell them on RA. I have put them in my cart but they always ship separate so I take them back out...

Thanks! First I need to figure out if I have PexA or Pex B. Not much of it sticking out of the wall.

I have a 10 year old house that is builder grade and I am certain the subs were all the cheapest available. Zero issues with the Pex. The joints I can see are plastic - with the compression type ring. I need to figure out how to repair these before i need to. Anyone know a a good tutorial?

When I was maybe 16 Dad threw a track on our little dozer in about 1 foot of water. Guess who got to put that one back on?

This is going to vary by each area of the region, by price point, etc. In my neighborhood I would say its likely fairly neutral. In other areas of the metro, some there is virtually no inventory, and other areas seem to be stacking up? If you do Twitter, go look up Amy Nixon...

Tax rates are fixed, and the levels are adjusted for inflation. So they’re spending debt - ie your children’s future income.

This I understand - but you probably shouldn't feel too bad. He probably has never been taught to handle change, because he never has had to. The restaurants customer base is likely 99% card, so the fact that one person knew how to was actually impressive. Many places in the cities will no...

Its an excellent practice. If you ever had to troubleshoot something your much better off without all that stuff.

Yep, been there done that. Its usually the opposite - you put something all back together and then find that one critical bolt you missed :(

You ordered a burger. The fellow was polite and respectful. He delivered the correct change with some help? Where is the failure in customer service?
