I cuurently have wired video cameras which display on a dedicated monitor inside my house. Looking to upgrade during Amazon Prime days which is coming up in a week. 1) I need a motion sensor floodlight camera for my back door. It needs to be bright. 2) A solar powered camera which I am going to...

The photo is not clear enough to show the 15/8, but it is cast into the white ceramic body.. I don't know if it is a fuse rating (15 amp or 8 amp) or whether it has nothing to do with the fuse link installed on the ceramic body. Which brings up the question - if not the fuse rating, how do you...

What can I do to make my front yard a bit more attractive? I am not into gardening and, being busy with work, have no time for it. Some sort of permeable paving? The tree sheds a lot and the paving should not interfere with sweeping up the yard.

Pipe wrenches have a self clinching action that really bites into the pipe when torque is applied. Channellocks sure don't and cannot be used to apply a lot of torque to pipe. Do the Cobras bite into the pipe as well as pipe wrenches?

I need a large one, 50 to 60L size, to carry tools. Must be hard case since I need security. I would like to mount it where the rear seat is now, so that it does not project out too much from the back of the bike. I could remove the rear seat. Is such a box available?

I hooked up a scope to check on the compression, health of the starter and the new battery and was surprised to find that the cold engine, at 5C ambient temperature, was cranking over at 420rpm, Wasn't expecting it to be this high, especially since the reason for checking was that I thought the...

For my 2015 CBR300R. The ten year old Yuasa YTX7L-BS wasn't able to crank the engine over well when I got the bike out of winter hibernation. I have a Midtronics PB200 Conductance tester and the Yuasa tested at 140 CCA when it was new. Both the Yuasa and the Mighty Max are rated at 100 CCA. The...

On a fuel injected gas engine? My Honda 300 motorcycle is not starting up now after it was last run in November. I will be replacing the ten year old battery. My question is more general. Low cranking rpm leads to compression loss past the rings but does that prevent the spark plug from...

I have little faith in politicians managing money wisely, so I finally took the plunge and bought this Royal Canadian Mint bar from Costco three weeks ago for C$4939. Todays price for the same bar is C$5066. At least the price is moving in the right direction. Price has to go up 12% for me to...

Whirlpool GW397LXUS06 120V plugs in on the right (red dot is L/line) and the four igniters on the four burners plug into the four QD terminals. Issue I am having is that no spark is generated at two of the four burners. The inside of this module is potted, so I cannot see what is inside but...

https://lowellcorp.com/products/pipe-wrench-head-adapter/ Like the one above but smaller, compact, able to get into tight spaces. One specific application would be getting the bonnet nut off Delta shower valves when the valve is recessed into the wall, preventing use of a usual pipe wrench.

This is on a 2006 Freightliner M2. Second pic shows 19 months old Roughrider Batteries supplied by Canadian Energy. https://www.cdnrg.com/products/batteries The Roughriders could not turn the engine over fast enough in cold weather. This truck needs good batteries for two reasons. It only has...

Instructions call for using 3-in-1 oil for lubricating the hinges. Plastic washers are used in the hinges and, as far as I can make out, 3-in-1 mineral oil is safe for plastic whereas spray on white grease could attack plastic...

Upon receiving a eTransfer and the accompanying email from the bank, I got this text message, shown below. I don't usually get this additional text with etransfers. Why this time? Did Interac send it? What is with the 100001 number?

Happened this morning. Visited a site and immediately afterwards got all these popups. So, I figure, easy, I will just restore my system So I did that, restored my system to two days ago, Dec 27, 1 pm, Windows Update. Did not help, I am still getting these popups. I have not clicked on any of...

Tried out Face ID for a few months and only because it is necessary for having my credit cards on my phone. It is too much of a hassle because it does not always recognize your face on the first try and you have to swipe up for a second try. My second hand is not always free to do the swiping. I...

The error messages started when I switched from Windows10 on my old PC to Windows11 on my new BeeLink mini PC. Printer is an old Brother MFC 7220. The printer resumes working after I run the troubleshooter for it. The troubleshooter will state that it could not identify the problem, but the...

Just noticed low coolant in surge tank. Truck had been in to a shop for exhaust manifold gasket replacement and they did drain out some coolant. Level was fine when I picked up the truck from the shop. a couple of weeks ago When I noticed the low coolant level I checked the cap and saw that the...
