Whoops, I went with the "wrong" countertop material, actually dolomite. After looking at endless quartz slabs they looked too fake.

Only if set up correctly and inspected on occasion. 99% of people never check them and they become useless

Because they are guaranteed to fail before the water heater. It's code in most places so you're stuck with installing one if a pro does the job

I suddenly become very religious when a bolt is stuck or breaks

Best of luck. Laid off after 25 years? That really stinks. Just start applying to places and see what happens. Applying at all dealerships, parts stores and related auto places in your area. Be picky later

Just get a low cost 5w30 synthetic like Supertech or Kirkland for both and change every 6months

They work fine. Nothing special. I usually wait until they go on sale

Basically 1.21 gigawatts? Didn't work out so well for the last guy

Agreed, I have old Snap On standard wrenches for that. Can't give them up

Bluepoint with the switching lever for metric. Don't have any sae. Almost never use them

Ran Shell Rotella in my Cbr600 F4i. Sold it with almost 30k miles. Never any engine trouble.

That's what I've had for years. It hasn't been beat yet by more companies and brokers than I can remember. They paused new policies in California though

In California, I pay about $3300 a year for 4 cars with liability. 3 drivers including my 18yr old son. No accidents or tickets. I have shopped around multiple times with multiple companies and tried bundling with home insurance which is also a rip off.

In the old days, maybe never. Now? I have had some fail within a year. Some test fine on the bench but fail under load
