Was in the middle of a project yesterday, and the chainsaw died. Decided I was not going to mess with a 10 year old Poulan, which was purchased in an emergency, when the previous chain saw died under similar circumstances. Decided to shut down for the day and do some homework on hopefully a...

It has been a messy few days. Spectrum internet went out. Since we stream, that also meant no TV. Mrs. Tdbo unhappy. Guess how that goes. Three techs told me that it was their issue, and we needed a tech out to the house. We finally got internet and TV because I took a trial out on a T Mobile...

I have been changing oil in cars for 45 years, and today was a first. I'm trying to go through this in my mind to figure out how to avoid this happening again. Changed the oil on the Ranger in my signature. Drained it like I always do, then went to remove the filter that was on it. It was a...

Earlier in the year, we cut the cable and changed internet providers. We transitioned to streaming as well. We have a good signal on the first floor including the front of the house, furthest from the router. I discovered when I installed a new TV in our exercise room downstairs (in the front of...

Since we cut the cable and went to streaming, we have not had a TV in the exercise room. Getting rid of the cable made the very nice 19" Zenith CRT that is in the room a relic. Did not want to spend a bundle for a TV to watch while I was slogging on the treadmill, so was looking for something on...

Had a link on my e-mail from Cars.com this morning. So I thought that for excrement and giggles, I would do a search of used cars for < than 4K. Ran across this "Gem:" https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/3a335732-f9b4-44dd-bc9f-7e85697256d9/ It is a 2001 Chevrolet Prism "Base" with 144K on it...

For starters, I am somewhat technologically challenged. I have a problem that I can't figure out the answer to. Have a Sharp Aquos LC-60LE550U TV that until yesterday was hooked up to a Tivo and a Vizio soundbar. Got rid of the cable, and are streaming with a Amazon Fire and YouTube TV...

Our cable company just got sold. Wow! cable sold out to Breezeline in Ohio. Have already had situation with their "Customer Service," which in this case is a true oxymoron. They refused to honor the deal that I got from Wow! The interactions that I had with them have led me to believe that the...

These will be for the Mustang in my signature. The tires that are presently on it have less than 20K on them. The problem is that they are 14 years old( the originals.) Started out by consulting with the dealer where I bought the car new. The SA presented me with several options. Since the tires...

I have really delayed putting new tires on the Accord, because I really wanted to get more wear out of the Pirelli's that are on it now. The issue is not treadwear, but the amount of noise they produce (along with a multitude of cracks in the rubber.) I held off to see what deals DTD would have...

I have always hated pressure washing my concrete patio because after I am done with it, generally it and I look worse for the wear because of splashback. I was in a store one day and became aware of pressure washer surface cleaners. The one they had was $79.88. Came home, got on amazon and saw a...

This concerns the '12 Accord in my signature. Last filled car this past Saturday. Car has has 2 or 3 short trips since. Today, put about 40 miles on car and was heading home. Odometer and trip odometer disappeared on dash and are replaced with message "Check Gas Cap." Pulled over and checked...

I had never purchased one until March 16th last year. The only experience that I had ever had with one was that one came with a used Chrysler convertible that I owned years ago. The one that I bought replaced a 10 year old Autocraft Gold that bit the dust shortly after getting the Mustang out in...

First time owner. Looking for best bet to secure up to two pistols. What does everyone use?

I'll start out this thread by saying that I am basically the polar opposite of tech savvy. So need to get advice, expressed simply. I have a Sharp Aquos 60" flatscreen with a Vizio soundbar. Wanted to watch programming not accessible via cable. Tired of watching it on the screen of my thinkpad...

Need to get some for the new Pilot, because the dealer only provided two, and four are needed to keep everything from rattling non stop. What are the best ones to get, and where is the best place to get them? Is there even such a thing anymore as a quality license plate bolt? I ask this because...

Looking to purchase a set of front floor liners for the new Pilot we purchased on Wednesday (details in new car thread.) Both are priced within $20 of each other. I put a set of Weathertechs in the Accord and have been happy with them. Those familiar with the Husky. What are the...

The fleet in the household is getting up in years. Our newest vehicle is 8 years old with over 100K. I'm looking at replacing the 2006 in the fleet with a new vehicle. Nothing wrong with it, no rust, not beaten up, it is ready to roll over 80K. However, it is 14 years old. Since it is what Mrs...

This will probably vary upon region. I took a ride, and went in the Bucyrus, Ohio Walmart. Went down the battery aisle, and was looking at their selections. Every battery that was a Johnson Control, had a thick to moderate layer of dust on them. Every battery that was new and shiny, from the...

The AAP Gold in the Accord was at 51 months. Last weekend (somewhat cold) would not turn using the remote start and struggled to start the vehicle with the key. It was tested 3x within the last couple of months: once @ a dealer that claimed it was bad, and I had it checked 2x at two different...
