    Happy Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving to you all! No matter what your situation, be sure to be thankful and look for the "silver lining" in today and tomorrow. I think everyone has reason to smile and something to give "thanks" for. :) Ed

    Windshield rock chip, replace or repair.

    In my personal experience, if the chip is larger than a quarter, it can't even be filled. Ed

His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest...

    Light bulbs for hydroponic gardening?

    I have found some great videos online for creating your own hydroponic garden towers. Unfortunately, they don't discuss what type of lighting that might work well and help your plants flourish.

    K&N efficiency now stated as 98% 30 microns

    Porsche A40 approvals (05/23): Ravenol VST 5W-40 a solid option?

    ..."HPL makes oils that are better than the so called Approvals."... I'm not being argumentative. I'm sure HPL makes good products but what proof do you have of your claim? Ed
