    Mower Safety while cleaning mower deck

    If you cut the grass only when it's suitably dry, the underside of the deck stays clean. If you do anything under the deck of a walk behind, like sharpen the blade with a Dremel, as I do, or drain the oil, you'd be wise to remove the plug wire. Just good practice.

    Tell me why not to buy a 2025 Nissan Altima

    Interesting what you learn when you ask. He told me that they had been talking about a minivan. That kinda changes the situation. I will keep the HAH and look for a decent used minivan for him to share the cost of with me. I've always liked the Mazda 5, so I'm asking him whether a micro-minivan...

    Post your Gas Mileage : Calculated

    HAH, 621 miles, 11.8 gallons, so 52.6 mpg. About half highway with plenty of AC use, so not bad.

    Tell me why not to buy a 2025 Nissan Altima

    AWD is nice here during the winter, but having recently retired I no longer need to set out into lousy conditions first thing in the morning and if we do get a really major snow event, we do have the Forester. I myself have never had an AWD commuter (the Forester is wife's) and only occasionally...

    Tell me why not to buy a 2025 Nissan Altima

    I'm working the Honda angle as well. The Mazda 6 is long gone. It would otherwise be a good option.

    Tell me why not to buy a 2025 Nissan Altima

    We've owned six of them, so you're kinda preachin' to the choir.

    Tell me why not to buy a 2025 Nissan Altima

    Life changes and I find myself in a position where I need to sell my HAH to my older son. I guess I don't really need to, but he is two years into a mortgage on his house, has just given us our second grandson (February) and is working full time at decent wages and also going to nursing school...

    TiGeo has a new knee

    Screaming Trees huh? I knew there was a reason I thought you were okay. Nearly lost you. Anyway, I wish you a quick and full recovery. It does sound like you are well on the way. Best wishes!

    Another electric car almost out of power.

    Failure to plan is a plan to fail. True for both ICE and EV cars.

    Favorite Travel Discount Sites

    I find kayak very useful in searching for flights and it will usually take you to the airline's site for whatever you decide to book. Booking.com is good for hotels. Booking directly is fine when looking for a room in the US but does not work so well when trying to book a hotel in a foreign land...

    Israel claims to have destroyed two Iranian F-14s on the ground

    I think that all Israel has accomplished is to cement Iran's determination to develop nuclear weapons. They're already very close. What the world needs now is another potentially unpredictable regime to have nukes at its disposal. Let's also consider that the attack on Iran may be an effort to...

    Israel claims to have destroyed two Iranian F-14s on the ground

    How do you figure that Iran started it?

    Israel claims to have destroyed two Iranian F-14s on the ground

    Iran is a good bit away from Israel. If they shared a border, I doubt that Israel would be playing this game. It was Israel who attacked Iran, after all. I hope that this doesn't explode into a wider regional conflict, one which would inevitably draw our country in.

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    You get instant experts around every tragic event. Here's an example from X: @Winsleydale No. The LE slats are deployed therefore the flaps are as well. This is an automatic linkage. The flaps are set at Take-Off. Hard to see from the angle but they are...if slats are out (easy to see) then...

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    Clickbait title. There is nothing new under the sun. The type had been in service for too long in too many examples with too many carriers for there to be a heretofore unseen gotcha.

    What are you eating right now?

    A somewhat plebeian dinner consisting of tomato sauce, eggplant and onions with chicken thighs, all braised in the same pan, with a nice Argentine Chard. A quick and easy meal that should be very good. Wife loves eggplant and I like it too.
