    Cashiers/Monitors at Self Checkouts in Grocery Stores.

    Dang, this happened to me yesterday. The attendant ran over and said she had to verify my age. When I asked why, she said it was because I was buying carbureator cleaner. I asked "how old do you have to be to clean a carburator?" and she said 18. I then asked her "how old do you have to be...

    Anyone know when paperboys ceased to exist?

    Back in the early 1950's my older brother and I sold newspapers on a busy street corner. On the red light we would walk past the cars yelling "paper, paper." We earned 1.33 cents for each paper we sold. We would be out there in heat, rain, sleet or snow for about three hours every evening and...

    Squirrelly Handling after New Rear Tires

    We had this "squirrelly" condition on our 1997 Lexus LS400. New tires and alignment didn't help. The new tires on the rear quickly wore down to the cord/belts. A check of the rear suspension components showed that they were worn out. Replacing the rear control arms, drag links and sway bar...

    Anyone still use bar soap?

    I prefer a bar of soap but don't like using it when the bar wears down to a thin sliver. When the bar wears down to about 1/3 it's original size, I simply stick it to a new bar and keep on trucking.

    Third Stove in 4 years

    This DCS was I stalled in 2004 so it's now 20 years old. So far, it works great. The two stage burners allow for super low temperature simmering. It can melt butter and chocolate on a paper plate.

    World Electricity Production by Source

    I think your numbers are incorrect. From 4.86 to 8.05 is an increase of 3.19. This is an increase of .8 times, not 1.66.

    What grease gun do you use?

    I have this 5 gallon can I bought 40 or 50 years ago. It looks a lot newer than your vintage can. I had to stop using it because the galvanized coating on the inside started to flake off.

    What level of generator do I need?

    My house is 3200+ sqft. with two 3 ton heat pumps and two 50 gallon water heaters. We've been using this 5,550 watt generator for 20 years. It can supply enough power to keep us comfortable for several days. The longest continuous run was 5 days after hurricane Dennis. It won't run the heat...

    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Thanks. I have 25 of them and wish I had the kind you have. I need the cans to haul gas for my boats and tractors. One boat holds 90 gallons. The fill port is on a flat deck area so I put a large funnel in it and tilt 3 cans in the funnel an let them drain.

    Name a car you will never buy again.

    1968 Volkswagon Square back. Undepowered. Leaked water when it rained so bad you were soaked from the knees down. No heat. No a/c. No ventilation. Ended up with a blown engine at 80,000 miles. But it was cute and had a nice paint job.

    2022-2023 Toyota Tundra Recall - 98,600 vehicles for engine stall/failure issue

    Okay. If the accountants at GM are telling the engineers what to do, I agree, it's a problem.

    2022-2023 Toyota Tundra Recall - 98,600 vehicles for engine stall/failure issue

    Manufacturing and quality control is not in the perview of the so called "beancounters." They can tell the engineers and management what it costs to hot tank a block but they don't decide whether to do it or not.

    2022-2023 Toyota Tundra Recall - 98,600 vehicles for engine stall/failure issue

    It's a matter of the engineers and their bosses telling their bosses what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear. The so called "bean counters" come in after the sh** happens and tell them how much they screwed up. In the news just today, Toyota management apologized for lying...

    Zero turn experiences?

    Most people love their zero turns. In most cases they are stepping up to a larger, more powerful mower so mowing times should be reduced. I mowed 1 1/2 acres with a Hustler 54" zero turn for a while and then got a John Deere X590 with a 54" deck. To me it seems the John Deere X590 is so much...
