    Charity

    my wife and I give 10-12% of our income to charity every year (I am a senior exec at a fortune 500) plus donating clothes, as well as adopting a family in need. We also have $2,500 to an acquaintance of my wife so she would have $$ to pay a retainer to her lawyer for a divorce from her a**hole...

    Pistol caliber question

    I have a number of handguns, but the answer to your question is what you will use it for. A .357 is a nice choice for just defending the home. If you want to get a CCW, look at a 9mm, like a glock or a cz75.

    Now this is some funny stuff...

    I would give them all airfare home. . . . compliments of the Crown. Oh wait, that's right, they left a war zone. How about a life vest and the raft you came in on, all patched up and polished. Here ya go. Buh-bye

    UOA - Castrol Synblend 10w30 (7,343 miles)

    DIRK: From what we can see, this Castrol blend did just as good a job as the previous Pennzoil platinum. Actually, iron (from steel parts) is reading a little lower than before -- this level is more on par with what we were seeing back in 2012 and 2013. Not that the 25 ppm from the previous fill...

    so I am running the synblend in the Yukon with the M1 filter that I left on from the prior oil change. I have 6,800 miles on the synblend currently. OLM is at 18%. I am debating whether to keep it in and run down to about 5% or change it out. I have not had to add any oil so far. The oil I got...

    It's 1999: are you worried about Y2K?

    Worked for a major car company then - I spent the night from 8 pm to 8 am in the "bunker" b/c for some reason, they believed a lawyer needed to be around for the apocalypse. Ended up going outside at 12:30 to smoke a cigar and contemplate divorce from my first wife.

    Basement flooded. Why?

    Get a water back up sump. Works on water pressure and you don't have to worry about power failure. I got one b/c I travel a lot and I know my wife would ignore the alarm on the main sump
