Walmart online was selling the Weishi 10000 on sale so I figured why not? Playing around here are my results: 31mm Rolex Datejust 2001 (recently serviced) - Flat = +2s/d; Vertical = +0s/d; Upside Down = +1s/d; Beat Error = 0ms 36mm Rolex Datejust 1987 (serviced 3 years ago) - Flat = +4s/d...

More high speed highway miles this OCI and the engine hums at about 3,000 rpm at 80mph. Comments welcome. Previous sample was Amazon Basic 0W-40.

Some time ago I posted about wanting to get a nice watch for myself. I'm certainly not an aficionado but I have been reading and watching a lot of content about watches in the last year or so. I've always really liked the Tudor Black Bay but I really preferred the 5-link "Jubilee" bracelet and...

This HF Predator 9500 has about 50 hours on it and runs like a top when it runs. The last time I started it up, it started without issue and after about 20 seconds started bogging, it shut off and gas started leaking from it. The video shows the gas leaking from the carburetor where it meets the...

I religiously rotate my tires every 5k miles and check pressures. Yet, for the three vehicles I own (Tundra, RX350, Soul) and many in the past (Volvo XC60 R-Design tires were dead by 15K miles), the OEM tires do not make it past 25k or 30K miles before needing to be replaced. They wear evenly...

I have a 4-ton ducted heat pump that runs year around. It has two returns sized at 14x14 and 14x30. I'm using 4" MERV 11 filters changed at 30 days/720 hours of run time. I just changed them and while they certainly have some dust and the new filters make less noise than the old, they don't look...

Here is my local Jeep/Ram dealer. Multiple vehicles over $100k. I make a really great living but I flat-out refuse to spend this kind of coin on a vehicle for any reason. This dealership also has ONE Wagoneer for $75k and the other two Grand Wagoneers are +$100k. This is Wustah...a "blue-collar...

I have a family member who wants to buy a Honda CRV hybrid which let me to watching a bit of Youtube about the vehicle. I have paid little attention to eCVTs and was clueless that these are "belt less" CVTs. I would imagine these are much more durable than a belt CVT? What's the consensus on...

I think I've posted this in bits and pieces here and there on BITOG but as I'm about to fund my wife's backdoor Roth entirely with money generated by credit card rewards, I thought I'd share. Disclaimers: -I never pay interest charges and everything is paid off monthly. -I never buy things I...

As the title says there are currently 17 TSBs for the 2022-23 Toyota Tundra. I own a previous generation Tundra but like to keep up with the new releases for future consideration. For a company known for their reliability and a truck that had a pretty good reliability record, is this best we get...

I have in general been very happy with Fidelity - my current accounts there are a cash management account, brokerage account x 2, HSA, 529 x 3, and individual Roth IRAs for my wife and me. Since my 401k is not there I'm not a seven-figure client at Fidelity yet but I easily could be in the...

Nothing remarkable to report about how the vehicle was used over this OCI other than this does get short tripped and the oil was cold when I did the change.

Changed the FF at 1,000 miles and so this only has 4,000 miles on it. I plan to do 5K OCIs. This is Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 but it has Mobil 1 EP 5W30 in it now. I figure the FS 0W40 seems to be on the low side of a 0W40 and usually ends up a 5W30 anyway so I gave it a try. This oil was cold when I did...

Lots of hour plus long idling this time and some light towing of about 1500 lbs.

I suspect this won't last long and I sincerely hope this can be kept apolitical because if this article isn't relevant to this forum then what is? This news is counter to what many believe and while I suspect it will not change many people's minds and there will likely and predictably be attacks...

Decided to go to Universal in Florida with the family. Drove down from Worcester, MA to Darien, CT to drop the dog off at my MIL’s. Flew Delta out of JFK and was forced to gate check my suitcase due to a full flight. Ok, fine. Get onboard and I’m in the emergency exit row so nice! Tons of space...

A shot in the dark but I'm always amazed by the diversity of backgrounds here on BITOG. I'm trying to import an MS Access database file into Excel and I get the following error: "The operating system is not properly configured to run this application". Importing Text/CSV works fine. I can...

I felt great yesterday. I even remarked to my wife around 11am how great I felt. A little sore from the gym on Saturday, nothing crazy and I just hit a new PR. Yesterday, I sat down around 1PM to finish some spreadsheet homework for an Excel class I'm taking and by 1:30PM my entire body hurt so...

I currently have three watches. One was a wedding gift, one was bequeathed to me, and one I purchased. Lately, and I don't know why, I've had an itch I just may need to scratch, and I want to buy myself a really nice watch. 1. 41mm Tag Heuer Link WT5110 Automatic from around 2000. This was a...

Just finished serving a one-week ban for profanity. Fine, that's life. I'm not interested in any of your opinions about the use of profanity - I'm 44, a good/moral/ethical person, do my part to make the world a better place, I have the mouth of a trucker and I'm not looking for a daddy figure to...
