    How much per hour should I charge to fix A/C?

    AC jobs at home after work and on weekends. I'm thinking $100 per hour is more than fair. Pep boys and Firestone are nearly double that here and who knows who is doing the job.

    Quiet morning in the desert

    Not for everyone I guess. Sitting in a hammock in my front yard. Absolutely peaceful. No harleys or sirens to be heard. Watching baby quail run by. Ravens circling up above. Have not seen any snakes this morning.

    Overpriced truck; '97 F-350.

    This ran across my feed today. Looks to be a nice truck, big tires and lift but 300000 miles. Normal pricing in other places or is the seller dreaming?

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    Wife called me as I was leaving work and asked me to pick up dinner she had ordered. Went to the place and the lot is very empty. The 5 or so stalls in front of the restaurant are for "Clean air vehicles". There is a red Tesla in one of the spots and 2 or 3 other cars parked farther out I...

    I think 15w-40 in my jeep was a mistake

    Seems many people rave about how well 15w40 does in the 4.0 jeep engine. Mine was due for a change last week so I put 15w40 in it. I can sure feel a difference. It's very sluggish now. You wouldn't think going from a 10w30 to a 15w40 would be noticeable but I sure can feel it.

    Is this a phone line or electric?

The other driver didn't want to file a claim but demanded $500 instead which my wife sent him electronically. I just...

    The FJ has mobil1 high milage oil in it. The olm comes on every 5k. It came on yesterday. I can't use my oil change spot as it's blocked at the moment. The girls have to put about 120 miles on it Friday in desert heat. I really don't want to lay in the dirt/ rocks to drain the oil. I'm...

    video; snake our scared house sitter.

    We went on an overnight stay. Left the cousins boyfriend in charge of our animals. Remember I'm out in the desert. He's a good kid but more of a city kid. He went to get ice out of our ice maker on our back porch and saw a 5+ ft long harmless gopher snake.

    Who wears a hat?

    I like hats but they overheat my head. Was very hot where we were today and my head was hot so I bought a hat hoping to stay cooler but all that did was collect my sweat and give me greasy hat hair. What's the trick?

    K&N #152 oil filter fail.

    Picked up 2 of these a few months back when advanced auto had everything on clearance. Went to pull this one out of the box and it crumbled in my hand. The paper is very brittle. The 2nd one I pulled out of the box seemed brittle too but I didn't push on it too hard as I had to use it.
