    A question regarding patents

    Many many years ago I purchased a software package that was in CD disk form called patent ease. It was written for a much earlier version of Windows but it runs on Windows 10.

    I did drain and fills on the cvt (again), and this time also did the rear differential of my 2016 Honda CR-V yesterday. I even sprayed PB Blaster on the rear dif drain and fill bolts about 2 weeks ago. The drain was a real ☆○# to break loose to say the least. I had to use a 27 inch pipe on a 1/2...

    I learned something today about charging a vehicles AC system

    I learned something today about charging a vehicles AC system. I knew to bleed air out of all of the hoses for the manifold set before connecting up to the car. But I was unaware that oil from the car's system would travel up into the high pressure hose while it was connected to the car. When...

    I'm using magicJack now for our landline and I noticed that our small answering machine doesn't work right anymore because apparently there's some kind of a electrical noise on the telephone line now with MagicJack being the provider. No big deal because I really don't need that answering...

    Tis the season when the battery shelf at Wallmart is out of the common sizes.

    I was at the local Wallmart and noticed that the battery shelves are low of stock and out of the MAXX in 51R and 24F. The fall cold snap must have brought many no starts, and a lot of batteries being replaced.

    The hidden differences in Heavy Duty Serpentine belt length can be a royal pain sometimes.

    I upgraded the alternator in my 2016 Honda CR-V EX with 2.4 L gasoline engine to an Apex 200 Amp at idle and 350 maximum at a somewhat higher engine RPM. This high output alternator comes with a smaller pulley on it so it spins faster to aid it it being able to make more current, and one of the...
