AOL news message board. Topic: "Here's how often you should really change your oil" Oil Change IntervalClick here for the thrills and chills Comments that grabbed my attention: "Change the filter only.... every 5k when using full synthetic oil ( it never wears out)" "If your oil gets dirty...

Howdy, Used for years to assist buyers and sellers of used vehicles the Kelley Blue Book made the transition on-line where it can be readily used by the human herd. Along with that transition is the migration to the Web of "on-line graves." And here, for your viewing enjoyment, is the on-line...

Atop the cultural backwater of the Ozark Plateau. A Disgruntled Old Coot huddles within his hovel, a shanty on the edge of a small city, the 3rd largest in Missouri but a city that would be easily swallowed and disappear if located with the Bos-Wash metroplex or the LA basin. Unable to sleep...

For your visceral pleasure I, the Disgruntled Old Coot, with not much else to do, will present the herd with some random pics meant to convey absolutely nothing. As the norm... no cover charge; ever!!!!!!!! Mess with kitty you sidewinder and you will rile up the Young Coot...

Laziness led to avoiding scanning some of the ancient pics hiding in that box in the closet. But, the immense demand by a multitude of Web denizens prompted me, the Disgruntled Old Coot, star of neither stage nor screen, to implement the procedures leading to the wondrous visual delights below...

A last-minute court appeal temporarily delayed what is like the inevitable. I have many comments I would revel in revealing but shall refrain so as to shun sounding akin to the proverbial broken record. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/mexico/20070831-9999-1b31mextruck.html A small snippet...

Where to post this topic? Not all that critical I suppose. Shocks are near my tires so I chose this forum. Herd, Coot seeks opinions. When to get shocks and recommendations. Here's the vitals: 2004 Silverado 4x4, automatic tranny, long-bed, 4.8 V8, regular cab. No off-roading. Tires are the...

Horde, According to the teleprompter-reading babbling buffoon whose ugly mug is slathered across the TV thing..... yesterday, a day that is unlikely to live in infamy, withn one measly hour, 60 minutes, gas prices hereabouts soared like the peregine falcons.... Twenty-cents higher. Over 3...

Despite that super-keen title, this here post ain't one of them that politikal things y'all don't be liking hereabouts. Nope. HEY!!!!!!!!!! The shanty is getting a new, not used, store bought heater of water!!!!!! A natural gas type. Isn't that just grand!!! Waiting for a friend of Uncle to...

Just saw a TV advertisement with Dodge wanting you to buy a new vehicle. Their new powertrain warranty was mentioned along with...... heck, I forget, 70 or 72 month zero interest loan. Why would anybody take a chance on that long of a loan? If you need one that long is it likely it's more car...

Did a lot of searching but didn't find any definitive info. Yes.... MANY variables, overwhelming to a Coot mind-set. In a nutshell..... One person needing long-term shelter at the cheapest cost. Perhaps a tiny shanty in an area with real low property tax. Rent versus owning. A small RV in...

Livid in the shanty!!!!!!!!!! Where's this emoticon offering? It's missing from the emoticon herd. What's going on here? A definite case of:

Tornadoes, hurricanes, flood, famine, alien invasion, zombie attacks... a gamut of possible scenarios that one should be at least partially prepared for. Specifically seeking those who have used LED-type flashlights and/or those new-fangled wind-up radios that allow access to radio news while...

I belong to the CastleCops gang ( just a remitter of stuff ). Here is some info that may be handy. Related to the recent past query about e-mail greeting cards and other things. http://www.castlecops.com/p984172-Another_quot_Storm_quot_Wave.html You may wanna peek at other threads. Gotta be...

Large containers of beer served in a bar. Most often heard in my ears is the term "pitcher." In upper-state New York I noticed the term "schooner" was used for the exct same thing "pitcher" was used elsewhere. How about your backwards hole-in-the-wall area? What do you bumpkins term that large...

"love to see downtown shantyville or other areas of interest for the tourist in us all." A glutton for punishment!!!!!!!! A shanty. A small speck on a planet. A smaller speck dwells within the shanty. A miniscule cootish mote approximately half-way between the size of an electron and the Milky...

Awaiting the start of school when the telephone will be manned 5 times daily. Soon, very soon. But, until then, an active mind in a lethargic boyy sits staring at the monitor. Hmmmmm............. Hey!!!!!!!!!!! How about that guy I shared the duplex with for awhile back in the early college...

Someone a while back expressed interest in the non-homogenized aspect of the usually green growing things comprising what many term a “yard.” Well, never let it be said that a crotchety old Coot let the viewing audience down!!! Looky: Front yard next to the gravel driveway, the only gravel...
