That's the one, Bill In Utah. Thank you for the reassurance on my choice and also for the very important warning to be safe! When I was in the store handling the gun, the only thing I checked was the "feel" of the cylinder after I swung it out (quality machining IMO)- even though it was indeed...

Even though this thread is a bit dated it is nonetheless relevant. For some odd reason we never had handguns in our family... and I had a hankerin' recently to purchase one. So, after a fair amount of research I decided on a Ruger GP100, .357 Remington Magnum, 4" barrel, stainless steel. I...

I've posted this before, but many years ago I had a beagle with a mange problem. I tried all sorts of stuff but the ONE thing that consistently worked was kerosene. Rubbed it on about once or twice a week and it cleared it up. No kidding.

The only time a Honda should be using THAT much oil is when the mileage can be best described in scientific notation. Yeah, as others have said, replace the PCV valve. I'm a big fan of Auto-Rx myself as I saw a reduction in oil usage in my '95 Civic (but it only used a pint every 4,000 miles...

Well, for some odd reason I feel compelled to throw in my two cents' worth- Apparently some folks have been using MMO along with ARX which produces MARXMO. And it is known that ARX likes oil without esters in them; however, MMO has oil of wintergreen (methyl salicylate) in it which in fact is...

I would most certainly use ACD in my '95 Civic if it enjoyed the 10W side of the coin but for now she still likes HDD 5W-30. I do use ACD in my four-stroke cycle OPE and I, too, have totally positive things to say about it. If/when the Civic ever loosens up I'll probably run ACD in it...

This is a really, really tough question since I was born in 1960 and I like most of the songs from the '60s. I suppose (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction is right up there at the top, it was still popular when I was in kindergarten and whenever they play it I still find myself jammin' to it! Another...

IIRC Frank changed the instructions last year for simplification only- apparently, some folks had trouble figuring out how many ounces their vehicle required. The two oz./quart or 1:16 ratio is still valid, I believe they call out such for the real big toys such as semis...

I still use LC20 at about 1.5 ounces per 1,000 miles in the oil (AMSOIL HDD) with about seven ounces total thrown in when I change the oil. I also use FP3000 (now FP-Plus) at about two ounces per fillup in my '95 Civic. I do know the LC20 is great at keeping my oil from darkening so quickly...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgZH-BI30Zs One of my all-time favorites. IIRC the manufacturer of the trays sued DuPont over their usage in this commercial...

Orange, lemon, cherry and lime, fudge, tutti-frutti and a grape that's fine! (showin' my age by knowing that song)

I use an electric razor (Norelco) for the rest of my face the vast majority of the time except some regular, minor trimming with a Sensor Excel blade. I've been thinking of getting a REAL razor and using it for special occasions, of course with some practice and styptic pencils...

I really hate to see these lubrication problems with such a unique engine; IMO the Mazda rotary (Wankel) engine is one of the most fun powerplants ever put in a vehicle! Way back in the mid-70's a friend of mine bought a used Mazda and let me drive it. I distinctly remember watching the...

A good hammer and saw, lots of lumber, nails, concrete and shingles- garages ALWAYS need expanding! On a slightly more serious note, my essentials are: - good sets of SAE and foreign wrenches, including the stubby ones; - good sets of SAE and foreign sockets, along with a quality fine-toothed...

It's been a very long time since I was a custodian but we used to use Johnson's Complete wax for the floors, I can't recall which sealer we used underneath the wax- one thing I distinctly remember is making sure the wax build-up and dirt were totally removed, especially around the edges/mop...

I used to run about a pint to a quart of MMO on occasion in my old Slant Six engines and it certainly did not hurt them; whether it helped in the crankcase, maybe some... It definitely helped in the gas tank!

Here's a long shot but not an impossibility- Let's say the web server in question has somehow been compromised and- in an attempt to multiply the worm, trojan, etc.- decides to block a random user (me) from accessing the particular site UNLESS I drop my shields, so to speak... Fairly...

Yep, it's a no-go with the ENTER key as well... It is really puzzling to say the least!!
