    Hey scotch/whisky drinkers...do you buy it and age it like wine drinkers do?

    I find the topic of scotch and whisky very interesting. I used to belong to a "wine of the month" club where I received two (2) bottles of wine every month. The idea was that you drank one of the bottles right away and just kept the other bottle to age and drink at a later time. Since aged...

    The epic USA road trip complete with bucket list

    Somewhere along the way, I have subscribed to Mobil 1 notifications. They sent me this e-mail titled "EPIC USA Road Trip Bucket List and Packing Guide". I've often wondered about some of the best places to visit and scenic roads to travel in the United States. I thought I'd pass this...

    This aftermarket LED brake light kit destroys Tacoma fuse block

    I like "The Car Care Nut" videos. I think they're usually very informative. I know lots of people swap out the OEM lights, bulbs, etc., but *I* personally think it's pretty risky given the complexity of modern car electrical systems. This 2023 Tacoma owner learned an expensive lesson. "AVOID...

    The older PulsTech XC100-P model

    I use one of the little NOCO GENIUS1 chargers (https://no.co/genius1), and mine measures 12.97 all of the time. The NOCO seems like a great little charger. My battery is the stock battery that came with my 2019 Toyota Tacoma when I bought the truck brand new. I have my XC100-P connected to my...

    Using OEM Parts on 9 year old vehicle 223k miles...

    I agree that some parts are better...but many are not. If one is willing to take the chance on the aftermarket part, that's an individual choice. I'm simply saying that you know, with 100% certainty, the OEM part will help the vehicle perform the way then engineers designed it to. There are...

    Tire recommendations in 205/75 R14 size for 1992 Toyota pickup?

    I haven't had experience with the exact tires you mention, but I have had experience with the Hankook brand and the Kumho brand. I had the Hankook brand on my former 2004 Toyota Tacoma (2WD) and the Kumho brand on my former 2005 Volvo S-40. I liked both brands of tires and would have no...

    Can you build a small-block V8 faster than a high school kid?

    I think before any awards are given, someone should require the students to prove the motor will actually start and run! :) Ed

    Using OEM Parts on 9 year old vehicle 223k miles...

    I'm "one of those people" that thinks if you want the vehicle to last and perform the way it was designed...you always use OEM parts if they're available. The OE has experienced what it's like if you use aftermarket parts. Ed

    Have you watched the Amazon Prime special "Guns - The Evolution of Firearms"?

    Have you watched the Amazon Prime special "Guns - The Evolution of Firearms"?

    I personally think it's really interesting. So far, there is no hint of political overtones at all. It's a great mix of firearm history and the impacting changes on American History. Ed

    Have you watched the Amazon Prime special "Guns - The Evolution of Firearms"?

    I've started watching this series and I'm on Episode 3 of 7, where they're talking about the Civil War.. If you're a history nerd as well as firearm nerd, this series is just chock full of fascinating stuff! One of the little tidbits I found interesting was how George Washington taught his...

    Suggestions before submitting my first oil sample to WearCheck?

    I will soon be submitting my first oil sample to any oil analysis service. In this case, I have chosen WearCheck. They quoted me a price of $42.50 for the basic analysis. For those of you who do regular oil analysis, I was wondering if there's anything above the basic testing that WearCheck...

    Excel MESS

    Another vote for LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/). I use it every day and it works seamlessly with Microsoft Excel, Word, etc., files. There's a small learning curve to figure out where the same options are hidden, but once you do you'll enjoy it and never look back. Ed
