    Anyone in here a guru on printers?

    I have an HP 3755 printer connected to a desktop running windows 7. The printer is printing everything in landscape, and there is no option provided to change it to portrait. It also appears to be printing documents at 200-300% size, as the font comes out so big that only 1/2 to 2/3 of the...

    It's time for the motorcycle insurance shuffle

    For three years in a row now, my motorcycle insurance premiums have gone up come policy renewal time. The reason given is always the same; rates have increased in your area due to inflation, and the resulting higher cost of replacement parts, labor, and everything else associated with vehicle...

    8th gen Civic or 9th Gen Corolla?

    Considering the age (19 Years), and mileage (438,XXX) of my current Corolla, I've started the replacement trek, and I've narrowed my choices to these two. This car still runs and drives fine, so I'm in no hurry to replace it. Probably the worst I'll have to deal with is no AC this coming summer...

    OSU at MI

    Way to go Blue! Excellent game by two very good teams. I love watching games like this, back and forth, until one team eventually triumphs. I'm glad it was MI. Threepeat baby!

    Is the use of plastic on new vehicles out of control?

    New vehicles seem to be produced with more and more plastics. The entire front end, rear end, under the hood, the bottom side, interiors, are just plastered with plastics. Vehicles have become mostly "throwaways". I changed the oil in my daughter's VW Tiguan a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed...

    What happened to the cab forward designed sedans?

    This was an excellent design; it provided more interior and trunk space than non-cab forward designs. I had a '98 Dodge Intrepid with this design, and I couldn't get over how roomy that car was. The '06-'11 Civic sedans were also designed this way, but for some reason, this design isn't utilized...

    Insane motel room prices

    The cost of motel rooms has gone beyond ridiculous. It's gotten to where you can't even get a flee infested dump for less than $200 a night. This is one area where prices have gone up far beyond the inflation rate. WTH is driving these insane price increases? My wife and I love to travel, but...

    CFB rankings - the joke continues...

    The rankings were GA #1, MI #2,and OSU #3...OSU beats Penn St. (a mediocre beating, mind you), and they get moved up to #1. ............ Nobody can tell me that OSU isn't constantly over ranked, because they are...No way they should be ranked #1...............!

    Electric lawn mowers

    I took the blade off of my mower today, I have a guy sharpen the blade for me when it needs it. He also runs a small engine repair shop. He said he is going to have more business than he can handle because gas powered lawn mowers are going away. Several lawn mower companies have already...

    Does anyone here have the new Corolla Cross?

    How do you like it? I like the idea of a hatchback Corolla. I wonder why it took Toyota so long to offer one?

    I think the ol' Corolla is on her last legs...

    With 437K miles on her, she runs fine, but other things are starting go. My AC went out about a month ago, and the fix requires the dash to be removed, which would be way too expensive to do on a car this old. The cruise control is also starting go, it only works intermittently. I'm looking at...

    So who stops getting paid if/when the gov shuts down?

    I'm not trying to illicit political posts, so please don't post any. Since all of my pension income comes from the federal gov, it would be nice to know whether or not my pensions will stop. I get a military pension, civil service pension, VA disability, and SS. Will any, or all of these stop?

    No more Yellowstone

    There will be no season 6 of Yellowstone because crybaby Costner doesn't want to do the show anymore. (edit - MOD) Him leaving all of this very popular show's viewers hanging like this is inexcusable. I for one refuse to spend one more dime to watch anything he's in from here on. I hope his...

    Have you been to the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days?

    I haven't been to one yet, but it looks really cool. If you like old bikes, and I do, this seems like the place to go. I'm still waiting for them to set a date for next year's event, I'm going!

    Change your brake fluid

    I never thought changing out your brake fluid would make such a big difference in the feel of your brakes. The rear brake pedal on my 2018 Gold Wing had gotten really spongy feeling, and I actually had to push the pedal down quite far just to get the brake to engage. After the fluid change the...

    Cruise control works sometimes, sometimes not

    The cruise control in my '04 Corolla has started not working occasionally. When it's not working, I will set it at a certain speed, it holds the speed for a few seconds, then the car slows down. Whether it works or not seems to be tied in with the ignition somehow, as when it's not working, the...

    What's better for storage - Sta-Bil or seafoam?

    I've been storing my bikes over the winter with Sta-Bil, but some people say they like seafoam better. The name "seafoam" sounds corrosive...Lol!
