Daughter lives too far away for me to actually help with an oil change. She brings her Kia Telluride into JiffyLube and they say they don't stock the needed oil filter. Suggests she pick one up and come back. Now how "Jiffy" is that? So of course she asks me to order her one on Amazon. (She...

I asked for lime for my lawn and the sales lady with orange apron told me the polarized lime was on a shelf in the covered area. I am excited to spread the polarized lime on my lawn. But unsure what will happen if the dirt is polarized in the opposite direction?

A local gas station redid their gas tanks and gas pumps. They now have non ethanol gas. It comes from it's own gas nozzle and was 89 octane. But $4.69 per gallon. In Delaware.

I got a quote of $20K for OC architectural shingles. Two story, 2500 sq foot house. Roof is somewhat complex. 35.5 sq of shingles (say RoofScope) I signed up for RoofScope as a roofing contractor so I could get the same info on a report as a contractor giving me a quote. It costs $39 for a...

New water heater has NPT pipe nipples to attach hot & cold. All the flex and corrugated lines at HD and Lowes ars straight thread female (with gasket) at each end. Looked for some type of adapter female NPT to make straight thread. Could not find one. Asked. No luck. What am I missing.

So I got 4 cap screws to take off to remove this bow thruster motor. You see one at 11 o'clock. There is one at 5 o'clock I cannot see, can only feel. It's under the relay. The swing of the Allen wrench hits the hull. Aside from a shorter 6 mm Allen wrench what else can I try? There is...

It's officially boating season tomorrow as forklift service starts at rack storage marina. Let the repairs begin.

Say I found a $50K dollar bill in a parking lot and wanted to trade from my 2015 Ford F250 PSD 4WD to a low mileage 2022 or 2023. Mine has 150K miles. Besides less miles what would I get? Safety features? As I get older some safety features may become more important. Some cars have...

Besides Xcelite, who else makes nut drivers that have many sizes by the 32nd?

Can one do auto paint decontamination on top of ceramic coating or PowerLock+. What about clay bar? So my pickup had PowerLock+ applied last fall and Crosstrek had a 18 month ceramic coating applied. What do I ask the detainer to do this spring? Can on do auto paint decontamination on top of...

My new hybrid water heater should be delivered in a few days. It will go in the garage. While I would like to put a pan under it before I install it, I have not figured out how to lift a 300 lb unit and put in a pan. Trying to slide it on would flatten it. Next question is the flex lines to...

A reminder that when you see forsythia in full bloom the soil temp is around 55F and time for pre-emergent herbicide to prevent crab grass. Obviously north of me will be latter than here in Sussex County Delaware. Dimension ( Dithlopyr) and Barricade (Prodiamine) are the best. Forget the...

I have gotten the Wireguard VPN to work with my Unifi router when my Windows laptop was at home and the Unifi network was at church. I could PING devices on the Unifi network from my Windows laptop at home. But the real user will be an iMac user at their house. They cannot seem to get it to...

The church has one professional quality TV camera about 75' from the production booth. The others are closer. Currently they use HDMI extenders and CAT5E cable. The CAT5E does not pass at 1000Mb but does at 100Mb. So bad cable or connectors. And should be CAT5E. I am told the better way is...

Ladies and gentlemen - start your engines

My neighbor had his property lines surveyed last fall. Now he is telling me two planting beds extend about 1 foot onto his property. They have been this way for 10 or 15 years before either of us moved here. He wants me to remove the rock border on one and the dirt and mulch on both. I have...

Most people know a meter is about a yard but did you know: Since 1983, the metre has been officially defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second. New knowledge to this 70 year old brain to store. But how to bring the...

So with Bilstein shocks that are guaranteed for life how does one handle things when the shock wears out? Pickup has 160K and I am pretty sure the front two have a least 100K miles. When they no longer perform satisfactory how does one handle the guarantee? Pull the worn out shock, send it to...
