Lived in MS until graduated from college. Worked in Chattanooga for 15 years then followed the work to West KY. Now retired and would love to go somewhere with less hostile weather but the kids and grandkids are in the area so probably here for good.

Those quantum discussion are at such an elementary level I'm not even going to comment. I will just let MolaKule continue with the explanations.

Liquid cottage cheese.

I just bought a set of 41-162's from ORielys to replace the OEM 41-110s in my 2010 Yukon. They do look a little different. The best information I could find on the number change was that the originals were made by Denso and the new ones are made by NGK or vice versa. GM supposedly changed the...

Sherwin Williams Ca$hmere low lustre. Easy to apply, great finish. Very durable and washable, Worth every penny. I haven't done any painting since the pandemic shortages but SW used to have 30% off weekends from time to time. They advertise well in advance so you can make your plans to...

My son has a 2013 Cadillac SRX with a 3.6 engine. I warned him when he bought it (45K miles) about the timing chain issues and the need to religiously change the oil every 5K. He has run it over 200K miles with nothing but tire store and quick lube 5w30 oil changes.

Looks like it has reached the point that if your really care about your engine you are going to need to buy a filter cutter and do a pathology report on each filter taken off.

True story. My father-in-law deeded his house and his commercial property to my wife and her brother with a life estate deed when they were 10-12 years old. They never knew anything about it. Fast forward 40 years and my inlaws are broke and no longer able to handle their business so my...

If a visual check for abraded or pinched wires doesn't turn up anything, you can go the intellectual route by downloading the owners manual with the wiring diagram off Scag.com. Manuals are available by model and serial numbers under the Resources tab. The wiring diagrams will be toward the...

I worked a whole 2 days as a lawnmower mechanic the summer after my freshman year at college. My uncle's relative had a lawnmower shop that was desperately needing a mechanic and I been tinkering with engines and mechanical stuff since I was big enough to adjust a crescent wrench so it seemed...

86 - 02 Honda Accords. Maybe some years before that. Don't know.

Knobs and sliders replaced with buttons and screens. Sigh

And then there is my buddy that wrecked his somewhat under 200K Silverado 4.8 just leaving the parking lot after work. A valve spring broke.

I had an 01 Yukon with the 5.3 that developed increasingly louder cold engine knocking noises until we traded at 215K. I tried multiple brands of 5W30, dino and synthetic, and even 10W30. Nothing made any difference in the noise that I could tell. We sent it to it's next owner running great once...

As an amateur farmer and horticulturalist since about age 10, I can tell you that each plant has a preferred level of light for growing and anything different impairs their growth and productivity. The big food crops like corn, beans, tomatoes are full sun crops and unless they get close to that...

Each rod plus the spacing occupies 10.5 mm. The last rod would not include a space and would take up 2.5 mm of your rectangle, therefore there are 327.5 mm to be occupied by the rod /space groups. 327.5/10.5 = 31.19 rod/space groups, plus the end rod makes 32 rods total. If you are just trying...

Anything 2 years older and in worse condition than what I am driving.

I've read that the maximum theoretical efficiency of silicon solar panels is about 33%. The limitation has something to do with a level of physics beyond my comprehension.

That was a really good deal. The OEM originals of the carbs I replaced were all in the $50-60 range. The best Amazon deal I got was a new chinese carb with the same logo cast into the side as the original, new fuel line, fuel filter, and paper air filter for about $25. Jacks wanted almost that...
