    Best pistol grip tactical shotgun <$1000

    I've had Remington Wingmaster 870 tactical for about thirty years and love it. It's a pistol grip with a folding stock.For home defense I use the pistol grip, but I used it many times with the folding stock for sporting clay matches. Slugs and the pistol grip are not fun. I use 3 shot for home...

    What would be the best way to send and receive Mp3 files of several gigs?

    Zip it into 3 groups, password protect it so google can't see what it is and upload 1 group at a time and delete when it's downloaded, Did this to transfer 50GB of manuals from home to work took two weeks.

    Hard Drive reliability over the long term

    Just a note. Every external LaCie hard drive I have looked at that failed was a seagate. I suspect that the drive may have been dropped. Every one had the inner area of the platter ground down by the read write heads. One was mine, I have torn apart five others from friends with the same...

    Program Uninstall

    The media creation tool has the stub loader for office embedded in it. Remove it from apps & features, reboot and install your copy of office. Installing it over the stub loader may leave the office shortcut in the tray. Clicking on it can really screw up the install. And sometime later the...

    E85 in non-flex fuel Ford Expy ~2013

    In the winter months most blenders drop the ethanol content to about 50%. E85 is very hard to start in colder temperatures. The engine should be fine, just try and run non-oxygenated fuel to quickly lower the ethanol content. It may set some engine codes than can cleared after the ethanol...

    What's better than a Crown Vic?

    They are cheaper to repair than many newer vehicles. I sold my 03 vic at 264k with the original tranny and it's still going strong. The guy I sold it to uses it every day, he is up near 300k now. 3 years ago I picked up an 09 with 105k on it. Needed a rack and pinion unit and two ball joints. It...

    I had a problem with a loan years ago, they wanted the same thing. I gave up arguing with them and setup a checking account at a different bank from my primary and had an auto transfer done five days before the loan was due to be paid. This worked for me until I got around to reporting them to...

    Heavy duty/ high power block heater for gm v8

    Also most block heaters are safe with remote start, as they turn off at a specific temperature rise to prevent the heaters from melting the insulation. I have them in all my vehicles and only use them below 20 degrees farenheit and use remote start with no problem.

    Heavy duty/ high power block heater for gm v8

    Keep in mind most block heaters are thermostaticaly controlled and only allow for a 60 to 70 degree temperature degree rise. The usual warm up to max output is 2 to 3 hours. Two block heaters will still cutoff at max output, but will bet at max heat twice as fast. Europe has a system that will...
