    Napa Gold Use it or return it?

    @rubberchicken - Note that I said "Round Trip". Because it was the closest Napa shop and I wanted to try a Napa Gold Air filter. @NHGUY - Yep, as I said, seemed surprised that it happened & that the counter guy wasn't date code aware. Otherwise they seemed uninterested. Thanks everyone for...

    Napa Gold Use it or return it?

    See, being some little bit hot under the collar, I guess I was hoping you all would say, "RETURN IT"! But since you're going to be all logical and dispassionate about it, ok. I'll use it. Oh, and thanks for the feedback! :-) Larry

    Napa Gold Use it or return it?

    I drove 25 miles round trip today to pick up a Napa Gold air filter. When the counter guy put the filter on the counter I looked it over because the box looked old. I asked him if there was a date code on it and he said, "No". I took it out and saw "021415BH1 Made in Mexico" stamped on the...

    Password App

    Bitwarden I started with LastPass about 9 years ago and had to dump it a couple of years ago. I tried a half dozen others before I hit on Bitwarden. It's open source and free but there is a pro version for $10.00 a year. I don't need the Pro version, and most won't, but I liked it so much...

What were the issues that caused you to take it to a shop? What were the "knuckleheads" supposed to do? What did they tell you they did? What...

    Help setting up Laptops for my teen Daughters

    Setting up a computer is one of my favorite things! 1. Make yourself an admin if you wish, there's no real need unless you think you'll need access someday and the kids won't give you their password! :-) 2. No, McAfee is not "that" bad. Maybe not the best, but better than it used to be...

    Norton Security-5 User Free to good home

    While back I bought a copy of Norton Security Deluxe 5 user, submitted the rebate, and then before I got the rebate decided to use something else. Just found the Norton in my software drawer and started to toss it, but thought, "Nah, somebody wants this". P.M. me with your email address and...

    What stealerships actually do!

    Sure, the dealerships deserve a lot of the bashing they get. But please, let's give credit where it's due! The politicians pass these laws. Why? Greed mostly. They want the sales tax revenue AND they want the political donations. It's called Crony Capitalism. It warps and dirties everything it...

    Grease for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

    I said in the initial post that it was 14 years old, but that was a guess. I later found the invoice which shows I had bought it as a refurb in early 2003, so to me it was almost 13 years old, and probably 14 years from manufacture.

    Grease for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

    I'd be happy to share some bread with you Kira! What I did not do before reassembling was clean and re-lube the planetary gear. Turns out that there was just a tiny amount of separated oil in the bottom cover plate of the planetary gear, but it was enough to leak out when the shaft was...

    Grease for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

    Since my last post I've done over a dozen batches of bread dough with this mixer. Even with a double batch of whole wheat flour, (7 cups of flour), and including a half cup of honey, so it's a quite sticky dough, the motor gets only barely warm after mixing and then kneading on speed 2 for 10...

    Robert's Rules of Order is the definitive guide on such questions. I used to have a copy but can't find it. However, it appears that there is an online version, (what ISN'T there an online version of?!?), you might consult. Robert's Rules of Order Online

    Grease for Kitchenaid Stand Mixer

    The first 6 pics are of the inside of the gear housing cover and the gear assembly the way I found them when I removed the housing cover. In the 5th and 6th pics you can see some pockets of separated oil. There was more on the other side, not to mention all the oil that had already leaked down...
