The most important thing about a gun safe is to keep kids and snooping adults from having access to guns, ammo and other important things.

Your engine is not a 2 stroke. It is a 4 stroke. A 2 stroke does not have push rods or valves with valve stems. A dirty engine will cause an engine to overheat. Since the valve guides on a Briggs and Stratton engine are pressed into the head, overheating will cause them to move back out of...

I bought this HP12C 40 years ago to calculate ROI, discounted cash flows, mortgage payments, etc.. I could calculate almost anything on it. In later years I used it to calculate lump sum retirement payouts. A great calculator and it still works today.

Yes. Pounding on the threaded end of the axle is definitely a "no no." If the axle nut won't thread back on, you will have to file off the damaged threads on the end of the axle and get a die to dress up the threads. Also get yourself a new nut and be extremely careful not to cross thread the...

I had a similar problem with a 27 year old Lexus LS400. I hung the axle and hub between two saw horses and filled the cupped area in the hub around the axle with penetrating oil. After a day or so, I saw the oil was soaking in. After another day or so of adding penetrating oil, I.was able to...

I've never painted my brake calipers and don't understand the purpose of doing so. My RCF came with orange colored calipers so I guess some people would like a different color.

Two years ago I had a 20 year old R22 heatpump go out. I had quotes to replace it with a Bosch inverter from $14,000 up to $20,000 so i decided to replace whole thing myself. I spent $2,000 and bought the best gauges, torches, pumps, etc. that you can buy (Fieldpiece and Yellow Jacket mostly)...

I use an engine hoist similar to this:

We went to Montecatini Terme in Italy last Spring and found this little restaurant with room for about 15 people. The owner/chef was a 90 year old lady who prepared us a wonderful meal. No pictures of the food but here's a couple pictures of the chef:

I would think a lot would depend on which restaurants you go to.

This is a very misleading article. Many people are changing jobs for various reasons and have a number of 401K's. Also many people have a substantial amount of their retirement funds in IRA's and brokerage accounts. Also, many people open and contribute to accounts for their non-working or...

Glad to hear you solved your problem. If this occurs again, note that there is a slot in each the wheel and the axle. A key inserts between the axle and wheel. You can tap the exposed end of the key with a small punch to get it to move. This will give you a place to introduce some penetrating...

I have 4 NOCO Genius 2 chargers. One I bought in April went dead like GON's. Doesn't light up or charge. They have a 3 year warranty but the return policy is a pain. My experience was that I had to spend over an hour with the "chat" people. They require the serial number and proof of...

My experience is that appliances don't die, they just need to be repaired from time to time. My 20 year old Fisher Paykel washer has "died" twice. Once it needed a water pump which cost $100.00 and just recently it needed a cold water inlet valve which cost $35.00. My brother, on the other...

Carry a pile of road maps.

I quit going to Walgreens about a year ago. I thought it was just the store I was going to. Long lines, then told it would take a while so come back to pick it up later. Windows would be closed and employees would be on computers or shuffling papers instead of waiting on customers. It just...

I like to make my own fries. While hamburgers are good, I prefer steak with my fries.

I did what many here have suggested. I replaced a couple of regular width breakers with thin breakers. This gave me room to install the 50 amp 240v breaker from the generator inlet just below the main breaker. This kind of setup should be easy to install on your panel provided there is a...
