It has become exceedingly obvious that my mother should not pilot a vehicle anymore. She's always been a car person. Wants to go out 3 or more times a day, even when there is no reason to go out, just to get out of the house. I told her she could no longer drive, and she ignored me. Angered...

I've been tasked for giving my sisters 2005 honda CR-V a 'once over' whatever that means, to her. 200k miles. I did 2 drain and fills with Honda DW-1 two Xmas's ago on it, and an oil change with a Fram ultra and Pennzoil platinum 5w-20. She had bought new Centric brake pads for it without...

My old Samsung S4 mini is soon to no longer be supported by my carrier, Ting. I had some other Samsung phones from my dad that I used as mp3 players, or accellerometer or Lux or Db apps, which technically are supported, when I plugged in the IMEI number, and having ordered a new Sim card. But...

This Home is in SW Florida. The fireplace below never burns wood anymore, not for 20+ years, only propane, and it rarely gets used. I've no experience with roofing, or chimneys. A damp spot further developed on the interior ceiling after a tropical storm this year, just downhill from the...

Late 80's mopar. I replaced my crappy super loose reman'd Steering gear with a Redhead Steering Gear, eating the core charge. $$$! Lucas PS stop leak had been inside my otherwise problem free quiet PS pump, for years. Very effective, for years, no leaks, and I'd even forgotten the pump once...
