I've been using a synthetic chamois, the Absorber, for well over a decade now. Seemed to be the latest/greatest thing at the time. I've seen detailers on YT use these new towels and wondered if it was a gimmick. My neighbor is a detailer as uses them, so I asked. He said they work great and...

While reading @GON 's thread on house for sale in WY, I thought about where I used to live in MT and thought I'd peruse the RE there. Came upon a house that looked familiar, but couldn't place it...and then thought "no way!" Clicked on it and looked at the exterior pictures. Yup! That was it...

In my area: O'Reilly's, Pep Boys, Autozone, Napa. After getting unceremoniously booted out my hospitality career (our dept was laid off, then terminated due to a renovation and not brought back. Was there almost 25 years), I'm looking at these places as I have a great CS background and it's...

Just changed the oil (M1 0w40FS) in the '07 4R V8, been using it for years with no issues whatsoever, always had great UOAs. So, of course, I start thinking about things AFTER its done🤔. The truck is 18 years old, but only has ~86500 miles. It got me thinking about a comparable oil in the HM...

I play a few word games, daily for the most part. Gives my brain a little stretch. Any other good suggestions? 6 letter wordle Wordle Strands

Just got done replacing the kitchen faucet. I had replaced the one that came in the house which was an el cheapo with an American Standard. That one had a flaw and HD replaced it with the same about 10 years after that. Well that flaw must had still been in the new one because it did the same...

Due to a confrontation/encounter with a particular sky rat (aka: pigeon) in the chimney, a brainstorm to come up with a tool happened. Said bird scared the livin' bejeepers outta me as I was turning on the TV while a burrito was being nuked. It decided at this time to flap and thump in the...

I got an email from them for a deal of $50 for 250/25. Was $70 for 250/10. So I'm just warning everyone that some weird things might start happening in the world...humans rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats, living together! They also had another option of $65 for 1gb/100...

I've got Bilsteins on the 5.0 and lock nuts were provided for the three locations on top of the shock tower. Stock nuts were flange nuts and you can see there is a lot more contact area to the tower and they might be a tiny bit taller, too (can't remember), ie: more threads. I checked the...

For me, hands down Rush. Neil Peart was a master lyricist, extremely well read and some of his lines have made me rethink or adopt a new way of looking at things. Let alone the stories that are told.

The irrigation controller, an older Rainbird ISA 408, blew its fuse which I replaced. It blew again and according to the trouble shooting section in the manual, it points to 1)a short between "the" valve and timer (I think they meant "valves") or 2)a shorted solenoid on one of the valves. I...

I have a 22 year old Honda mower, HRT216SDA, with a GCV160 engine. A couple of weeks ago I got a little to overzealous with cleaning it (taking carb off) and when it was all back together, it would surge every two seconds. Started watching videos and got it back running this morning! These...

I brought my PC back from sleep this morning, everything normal (used all yesterday, no issues, too). Clicked on Google to start surfing and it froze. I waited a few minutes and the homepage was still frozen. Its done this a few times in the past and hitting the tower rest button solved the...

There are a few songs where I enjoy, after playing it through, going back to around the one minute mark and listening to the last minute again...and again. Sometimes I do it without listening to the whole song. Anyone else do this? Here are three "last minutes" which I have probably played the...

Has anyone had a substantial increase in spam calls the last three days? I've had over 50 since 7:15am on the 27th! Four already this morning. I would normally only get a few a day if I'm lucky with an occasional zero call day. I went through the numbers and there was only one that called twice...

Got home today and turned on the PC (was off, not asleep which was odd). The monitor didn't come on. I used it last night without a hint of anything wrong. Everything else attached to the strip did come on, though. Hit power button, unplugged cord and switched socket on the strip...nothing. Its...

Saw this today and was in tears! I set the video to start at 17:48 and it goes for about 25 seconds.

We have all thought about the best lead guitar solos, drum playing, etc., but what about a great bass performance? Here are two that I like:

Considering the amount of vehicles using ULV between Ford and GM, you'd think there would be more of a market. Motorcraft, Valvoline, Klondike (?), Ravenol (lower vis at 3.3 than the Ford 4.8) put out products. Other companies say ULV, but still are in the LV range, not ULV. Redline says there...

After a company has done a service for you, how do you feel about them asking for a "5 star review" instead of just a "review"? Recently I had a new A/C-gas pack installed (19 yo and the blower motor was going bad). A family owned business did a service a couple years ago and I felt like they'd...
