    Brake Cleaner Substitutes?

    I just use carb cleaner usually. The brake cleaner whether the chloro or other cancer causer still leaves a film behind. I'm using files and wire brushes on the bracket anyway.

    What troublesome invasive weed do you have in your area?

    The Nimblewill is getting out of hand and as I am told it only gets worse. The last two summers have been quite dry so it suppresses the good grass and the Nimblewill thrives. Bit the bullet and ordered 32oz of Mesotrione aka Tenacity. Still will have to deal with what sprouts from seed and I...

    Yes I know that, tell the eBay seller. But they are usually reliable, more so than FedEx.

    7-Eleven Plans to Close 444 Stores in U.S., Canada

    I just noticed a 7/11 was recently torn down and in a rather affluent area. Circle K right across the street though. They are pretty big here along with Speedway and Casey's. Circle K took over the Phillips 66 stations here south of Chicago.

    I've never heard of burying the propane tank around here in Illinois. Do they popup out of the ground in floods?

    Propane tank telemetry system

    My company sets prices in July for the year unless you are on call fill. At the time I switched they offered a free tank and install. Only use one 500 gal tank a year and get it at the summer fill lowest price. Since 2012 the price has ranged from $.85 to 1.99. This year was $1.59.

    Package delivered? NEVER Arrived

    They scan all tracking packages at the post office when it arrives and when it goes out for delivery. I've never had any issues with bad tracking numbers. I do get aggravated by sellers saying item has shipped and give you a label created tracking number but you can't get updates from USPS...

    What holding strength is lost when removing and reinstalling wood bolts?

    A little antifreeze squirted in the holes will soak into the wood and swell it a little. Also a good preservative. It's been so dry here lately all my big hammers heads are getting loose. So I'm getting a bucket to soak them in.

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    I worked for a company that had a fleet of trucks. Their headquarters was in Florida but the production was in Illinois. They always would fill the trucks washer tanks up with the +32F washer fluid and it was a mess. No way to thaw it out when it's below 0F. We use to give them a squirt...

    Replacing garage door springs

    I originally had a wooden sectional door. Replaced it with an aluminum one. A lot lighter. But I kept the old springs. That was a mistake as it tore up the hanging rail alignment and when one broke, busted the 2x4 that it was hanging from. Tore it all apart and couple years go and shored it...

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    BS big time. Not talking about wind chill. Wind chill is the added cooling effect from evaporating water. Talking about heat going to cold and wind accelerating that. Air molecules carrying away the heat just like a furnace or AC and a blower.
