    Weekend in Gatlinburg TN.

    Just returned from a weekend trip to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday and we traveled to Gatlinburg TN. We had been there a few times before, the last being about 10 years ago (just before the fires) when we went to her high school reunion in nearby Morristown. For some reason, it seemed way...

    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Don't feel bad, I missed it too. This is so typical of videos shown of incidents where there is not much information and folks draw a conclusion to fit how they feel about things (personal biases) with police, motorcyclists, society in general, etc. Three sides to every story and until all the...

    Hedge trimmer recommendations

    Whatever you get, clean after each use with this stuff. It's excellent and keeps the tool cutting at peak efficiency. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Trend-Tool-And-Bit-Cleaner-18-0-Fl-Oz-532-Ml/150487777

    Hedge trimmer recommendations

    That Makita looks decent enough, especially if you're not doing commercial duty style trimming. Plus you have the batteries already. I stepped up from probably the same B&D trimmer you had to a 22" Husqvarna 2 years ago and haven't looked back. The 22" really made a huge difference in reach and...

    Eyesore or just deal with it?

    Had similar situation here with a couple of folks that complained about a Nativity scene the city put up at city hall (public, city run building) one year. The complainant used the separation of church and state as the basis for having it taken down. Once it hit the media, the owner of the...

    Change the engine air filter and then leave it alone?

    Check it or leave it alone. Depends on how curious you are and if the unknown will eat at you if you don't. Either way, the car will most likely live a long life, quite possibly with another owner.

    What's the difference between these Supertech oils?

    The "Advanced" is for folks of higher intellect. And BITOGers. The "regular" full synthetic is for cheap BITOGers 😁.

    DIY alignment (f. toe only) successful!

    I do my own toe also. I have a 4' level that have some plastic set-offs attached to the edge. Put the set-offs on the wheels and make marks on the garage floor in front and back. Measure and if any difference, make the adjustments on the tie rod ends. I do all of my cars and have branched out to...

    Wife using rolling seat around planting beds - is that allowed?

    Got my wife this one a couple years ago. She loves it, and leaves my stuff in the garage alone 😁. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wakeman-Large-Yoga-Mat-6-x4-8mm-Thick-Non-Slip-Wide-Exercise-Mat-Blue/142044155?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

    Waffle houses weird ordering language

    I used to eat at the WH close by a couple times a month when we first got to town, especially when certain cooks and waitresses were working. Can't go to either of the 2 we have now because the food/service/cleanliness of the places has become so bad. Plus, at some point or another, have...

    How long before wax/seal new paint?

    Brand new cars most likely have the paint baked after application, greatly speeding up cure time and making paint very durable. Aftermarket collision centers are usually applying water-based paints nowadays and cure times are very fast.

    Main seal seepage

    Obviously, the best fix is to replace the seal. However, if it's a small seepage, you can prolong it for quite a while, maybe for the time you own it, with HM oil or an additive. I have tried a couple oils and additives myself in various cars (mine and other's) and the best ones were Valvoline...
