    Why do hotels put comforters/duvets on beds... year around?

    Call me old fashioned, but I don't need a thick quilted comforter/duvet on my bed in the summer. Why do hotels do this, year around? It is summer.... it is completely unnecessary. All that I need is a lightweight blanket, at the most. Step one... untuck all of the sheets from underneath...

    Finding buried sprinkler system control box

    I can do that. My Dad is a retired Electrician and he would call me to jobsites to locate stuff for him. I worked with a guy who was a big follower of James Randi. Co-worker insisted that it was impossible for me to locate things underground. Well, OK. When I can walk across a piece of...

    Dad had a bright red 1966 Impala 2 door hardtop, that he bought new after he saw what the '67's looked like, LOL. First car I can remember him owning. Since he was married with 2 young kids, it wasn't fancy. Bright red, black interior, 283 V-8 engine, AM radio with a rear seat speaker...

    Just by looking at the pictures, I could smell the old woman perfume wafting from the interior... I'm well familiar with that era of Buick. Dad had a '99 Park Avenue and Grandma had a 1995 LeSabre that I helped her buy new.

    Dave’s Auto Center oil

    That's not wildly uncommon in that industry. Jasper requires oil changes every 3-4 months or 3,000-4,000 miles, whichever comes first. For both of the engines that Jasper had to warranty for me, neither had anything near what was an oil related problem.
