Well guys, sorry I posted to this. My avatar was from a 5-quart can of Jayhawk oil from about 1920. The cops on this site just took it. :confused:

All delivery companies are a joke...although UPS hasn't hurt me yet. Several months ago, I mailed three identical small packages by USPS to my three kids. One address was close to me (Kansas City), the other two were to Laredo, Texas and Phoenix. These packages were tracked and insured. The...

Let's see the college try to take mine. :LOL: This was an actual oil company about 100 years ago, long before KU would have thought their motto was big money. I have a 5-quart can of the stuff (before Walmart had the rights to 5-quart cans), a Jayhawk oil road map and a couple of their...

Yep. Over the weekend, I was in a Micro Center (computer store chain) because they emailed me a coupon for a free 128 G memory stick. I got the stick for free, but I bought a motherboard while I was in there. :cool: Many years ago, there was a local grocery chain that advertised Chase & Sanburn...

Lately, I've received some China-made filters from the "closeout" section of RockAuto. While I can't talk about the filtration of these filters, they have been some great looking filters, when viewing the paper media and the fact they've been using hole instead of louvers. Some other...

I saw Moody Blues in Dallas, must of been in the early '90s. Best Buy was advertising free tickets on the radio at a certain time at a certain store. I got there about 30 minutes early and the store was empty. I assumed I had heard it wrong. A few minutes before the event was to begin, suddenly...

Never a Windows update reminder. It's always different, usually (in the end run) Windows wanting money or something from me. I'll get the notifications shut off. Thanks, group. (y)

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Yea, I've got another computer running Ubuntu. Unfortunately, my wife has to use this one also. 🤷‍♂️

No, I seriously doubt that Techmakuloco would want to have any words with CKN. Think about it....:cautious: There's a local HVAC/plumbing/electrical shop that has a fleet of about 10 Ford pickups, all 10 year old or less. The boss has instructed them not to defeat the start/stop feature. On...

I've used some Purolator filters that I got from Menards by getting them with the Menards rebate checks. Are they free? No, but it's no cash out of my account, at least at the time of the transaction. Otherwise, I use other brands.

I've got a Windows desktop that's about a year old. I keep getting these "black box" reminders on the bottom right side. You can get rid of it by clicking "no thanks", but another one will always pop up later. Currently have a "Turn On Windows Backup" reminder on the screen. The reminders vary...

About 25 years ago, when there were all kinds of "snake oil" automotive products, I worked with a chemical engineer who was a big proponent of using Slick 50 in his car oil. This was about the time when Slick 50 had genuine PTFE in the ingredients. His theory was that the PTFE fused to the metal...

I'm going to go with the motto of "If you want it done right, do it yourself." The few times that I've used WalMart for tires have been regrettable, from overcharging to not having anybody able to drive in a car with a manual transmission. My last set of tires from Walmart got me out the door at...

That statement may or may not be true. The Motorcraft FL820 filters from a few years ago were prone to tears and just an overall poor assembly quality.

I've purchased tires a few times at Walmart and it seems that I get hosed each time. (My opinion, I guess) In the past, I've purchased some tires from them where I want them installed a few days later. Guess what? A few days later my tires were sold to somebody else and the replacements hadn't...

My church is waaaay out in the boonies where there is no access to high speed internet. About a year ago, they went with Starlink and it has done everything they have wanted. I think the box used to be ~$500, but I have seen specials where it dropped to under $200 and the monthly fee is about...

Just this morning, I saw an ad on TV for LG appliances and it said that LG was the most reliable appliance manufacturer in the industry. I got a big laugh out of that because I know better. I posted on this site awhile back about my SIL buying a $3K LG 'fridge and it died after 53 weeks with no...

My submersible pumps sits right at about 100 below the ground. 20 years ago, my pump cost about $350. About a year ago, I had mine replaced for about $1800. That included them sending 5 guys out to help me pull up the pump where the lines were full of water. They also replaced the wiring and the...

Just take a tin snips and finish opening it up. It won't take 20 seconds.

My daughter also lives in Phoenix, where Waymo has been in use for several years. Her experience has been mostly positive, but there have been a few glitches. What seems to be happening there is that other drives KNOW that the Waymo vehicle will yield to them. So the other drives will purposely...
