    Mason Bees at work

    Put up a bee house for Mason and leafcutter bees last year. Harvested about 35 cocoons as many were destroyed by insects before I could harvest them. They are busy this year and I am pulling the tubes when filled so I can try to stop the insects getting to them. They are fun to watch and non...

    Domino's thoughts.....

    So growing up I used to eat a lot of Dominos pizza. They tasted good back then. They even had the 30 minute delivery guarantee and I scored free pizza a few times. However every time I try them again I am disappointed with how they taste. If I want cheap pizza I will go with a Little Caesars or...

    Snow blower chute spray

    I have a Toro 210R single stage snow blower. I just replaced the paddles, fuel filter and spark plug. I am waiting for a new scraper bar to install. I noticed while blowing that the blower wasn't throwing snow well and often clogged the chute. That is why I replaced the paddles. I also read...

    What is your Internet provider and speed?

    Curious as to what speed most here are using and who they go thru. Currently I have Xfinity 500 mps. Rates are going up so I am probably going to switch to Metronet fiber 1 gig or maybe try T-Mobile 5g again.

    Never had a garage or even a car port

    With over 60 years of living I have never had a garage or carport where I have lived. I have lived in a townhouse and my current house over those years. I bring this up because I am due for an oil change and am not thrilled on laying outside on the cold Michigan ground to change it. (Old age is...

    Giving Chinese tires a shot....Zenna Sport Line

    Decided to give these a shot. I often buy used tires and these are much more expensive than doing that. Supposed to be 60,000 mile tires. We shall see. So far they are quiet and appear to ride nicely. Hopefully they do ok in the winter. The one thing I am a little concerned about is the lack of...

    To Bidet or not Bidet, that is the question....

    Dangers of low viscosity oils a problem waiting to happen?

    With some oils getting into the 0w8- and 0w-16 ranges, doesn't this leave very little protection cushion if the oils suffer viscosity loss due to something like fuel in the oil? Could this reduced cushion of protection be made up by additives?

    DIY replacement of AWD coupler on my Hyundai Santa Fe

    Seems to be a common issue with these vehicles that they malfunction and need replacement. I ordered an aftermarket one from eBay for about 1/3 the cost of a Hyundai one.

    Trying Valvoline Restore and Protect in my Fusion but....

    Decided to try it in my Ford Fusion with the 2.5 and with a Frame Endurance filter. The oil is a reasonable price for sure if it works as advertised. I do have a question though. It says it can clean up to 100% of "deposits". A question I asked the company about sludge removal was basically...
