I'm thinking I'd like a .45lc/acp for Christmas. I am very happy with my GP100 .357, so I'd like to stay in the Ruger family. With my GP I shoot single action 90% of the time, so the Blackhawk wouldn't bother me in that respect. On the plus side for the BH is the 5.5 barrel length. On the...

It's about time to change the oil in our 2000 Taurus 3.0 OHV with 180k on the clock. It burned about 1 quart in the last 6k miles using Mobil 1 5W30. I'm trying use up the older oil in my stash and the VWB has been sitting there for about 3 years. It's a gallon jug so I'll have to add a quart...

Approximately 2 years ago AAP had both on sale, so I put a pair of the Trico on my Taurus and a pair of the Rain-X on the wife's DD. Although we have a rainy season (lots of rain this past spring) here in SW GA, conditions are pretty easy on blades. Although both are expensive, they work well -...

The previous two times I bought tires I got them online and had them mounted and balanced at local shops. The first time was in late 2008 and I used a local used tire shop and the cost was around $50. In early 2011 I used a local service station that really was a 2 person mom & pop operation...

Didn't want to hijack joaks' thread on Publix, so I'll start a new one. Anyone have a horror story about their first time backing a trailer? I had to pull a small U-Haul trailer (smallest they had) with my 78 Camaro. Shouldn't be a problem I thought. I went to U-Haul and they installed a...

I went out Thursday morning and the passenger rear looked a 'little' low, but not dangerous, so I went about running my errands for the day. Friday morning, it looked the same and I decide it was a good time/opportunity to take the car to the shop down the road and have the tires rotated (not...

specifically I am looking at Google Nexus 10 (32 GB) and the iPad3 (32 GB). Is the iPad worth the extra $100? I only need WiFi and plan to use it for browsing, email, the occasional movie /video, and editing docs while on the go. It seems like all of the other tablets have some major fault...

I've been doing one year OCIs on my wife's 01 Grand Marquis (4.6) and my 00 Taurus (3.0 OHV) DD. She puts ~7000/year with mostly back roads and highway miles. I've been running Mobil 5000 5W30 with a PureOne filter. On my Taurus, I put ~2600/year with light traffic city driving. It's 10 miles...

"Skyfall was #1 at the box office and did $88 million over the weekend, a record for the James Bond franchise. Of course, Bond fights terrorists and sleeps with a lot of women. Critics like it, and David Petraeus says it is relatable."

My fil found this stuck in a corner in his garage. He can't remember much about it. Anyone ever seen one like it? It has a compartment on the bottom that looks like it used batteries, so not ancient, just old, haha.

Didn't want to hijack the other grill question thread... My BIL prefers charcoal to do his BBQ, but he doesn't really BBQ, he grills. Burgers, chicken, and steak mostly. Nothing that goes on a low heat for hours. I prefer gas to do my grilling. Tastes the same to me and a lot less mess. What...

I'm thinking of buying a 2004 LS V8. It has ~95k miles. I've read various Lincoln forums and see some upset owners, but that happens with any make/model. I don't mind regular maintenance costs, but cannot afford to have a car in the shop every month. Any of you have good experiences with the...

What are your preferences for baked apples? My mother always used Granny Smith, but I think I want to try something else. My favorite apple to eat raw is a cold crisp Gala. Anyone ever used Galas for baked apples?

I just tonight noticed this function - quite fun. Am I really this out of things or did Google not promote this new feature?

My wife needs to fill out several PDF forms for her internship, but they are not in an editable format. The forms are several of many in a field handbook - not individual forms on the school web site. The handbook is in PDF, but no fields open when you download and open the document. We only...

I saw Bean & Noodle soup served at a place on the show Triple D and thought I would try it. Only beans in the house were red kidney (Navy used in the show), so I used those and wide egg noodles. 1/2 chicken stock and 1/2 milk with salt, pepper, and garlic for the base, cooked the beans until al...

Currently running a Brisbane 2.2GHz 64 X2 4200+ - a guy at work says he thinks I can run a socket AM3 CPU if I flash the bios. Can someone confirm? What's the fastest I can upgrade to? ASUS site not real helpful, so far.

The Segate drive in the Compaq I bought just over 1 year ago is giving the error. The drive has not caused any data loss or even crashed - but I continue to get the warning at boot up. I have several questions, as I weigh my options. 1) I bought a new 1 TB Samsung to replace the drive, but the...

I have a 360/1.2 drive and a stack of floppies - no idea what exactly is on them, but I would like to find out. Does anyone make an adapter of some sort? If not, what are my options?
