    The Double Big Mac....

    Totally worth it over the regular Big Mac. The portions of meat vs bread is right. I´ve noticed something since the PANDEMIC. It seems the bread is the same, or increasing, and the middle goodies are shrinking. The Original Big Mac has too much bread vs meat and condiments. The BK Whopper...

    hauling cargo in trucks with tailgate down?

    I´ve always done it in the past, wood, ATV´s where there is not enough room in the bed, so the tailgate drops. Now my mechanic guru is telling me that is a BAD thing, that I should get solid folding metal bars to replace the tailgate cable straps, the cables were NOT meant to be loaded...

    Mower decks- sealed or serviceable spindles?

    Guy at the mower shop was touting sealed spindles as the way to go. I´ve always thought sealed spindles were junk. All my old mowers from the late 90´s all have grease fittings, and I always blow out the seals by using too much grease. So have sealed spindles really improved to the point where...

Again, I know what is banned, I just need a quick list of what I CAN purchase new, so sad.

    Is there a chart somewhere showing the companies under the FIRST BRANDS umbrella? Like for example, Fram is listed on their site, but Champ labs is not, it is called Luber Finer? Are they running independent companies or is FRAM running Luber Finer? ....I also see they acquired Carter, now I...
