    How do you lube your revolvers?

    Well, are you talking about a single action or a double? Or do you have one of those semi-automatic- cop-killer-bullet-shootin' revolvers that the media tells us about?

    Marine Sta-Lube Boat Trailer and 4x4 Wheel Bearing Grease

    I bought 2 tubes of this after reading the articles Bob posted about greases. I'm still impressed at how much of the real information on this site came from Bob Winters after all this time.

    TV & radio wiping out regional dialects and accents?

    My grandfather flew a B-17 out of Rattlesden England in WW2. He told me that when his crew was initially assembled they actually had a hard time understanding each other. Someone from Brooklyn NY would need a while to decipher just what an Alabaman was trying to say. Regional accents were...

    Question about minor accidents and insurance rates

    How do I add intermittent wipers to 98 Frontier?

    Yep, it only has 2 speed wipers. Low and High. I bought a new control switch w/ intermittent and adjustable delay for the steering column thinking it was the switch that told the motor when to operate. It fit perfectly but the wipers still operate in 2 speed mode. Is there a relay that needs...
