    Is this wear from the tire pressure being low?

    I vote for pressure, I keep mine at 40 PSI and the outer edges wear fine. When both outer edges (On both front tires) wear at the same rate it is pressure, not alignment.

    Extended Drain Oils

    Fuel dilution is a real issue with the GDI engines, I have a new Hyundai 1/6L Turbo Hyrbid, already went on record with the dealer on increasing oil levels around 2500 miles the level gets really noticeable.

    I broke the gas water heater

    Not the same but I have a tankless that I have descaled every year for the past 5, will never know if it makes a difference but not a difficult job. I never did flush a tank water heater when I had them.

    Do you use a reminder sticker when you do your own oil change?

    I use printed labels ( I print myself) and tape them to the valve cover or nearby plastic, everthing from oil changes to air filters, to coolant changes, transmission fluid etc. Lots of labels on my 2013 Elantra. When a tech opens my hood he should be able to see when items were done last.

    Home - Preventive Maintenance

    Add descale the tankless hot water heater to the list. I do mine every year, easy enough . I just finished spray foaming around house where the siding meets the foundation, there is a gap under the siding and mice and bugs can get into crawl space via the gaps. Messy job. Once and done though.

    Careers.....Boomers vs Millennias

    A boomer. What I think changed is the gradual turn to no loyalty from the employer. It used to be a company was great if it had slow steady growth, a solid workforce etc. That changed to how can I beat next quarters profit prediction. The stockholders are very much to blame for the need to out...

    Residing a house and window/door trim

    Hardi board in lieu vinyl would be my recommendation, Yes, wrap all wood around windows, you want maintenance free. Repair all the dry rot etc before the wrapping.

    recent weed eater buyers-- i need one

    my 25 year old Stihl gave up this year, no one could find parts so I went the electric route with an EGo 650. Love it, no more gas/oil no more spark arrestor issues, no plugs more than enough power and battery lasts me a month before recharging. Blower and mower, when they go will be electric as...

    anyone started trying to save gas?

    Americans, it appears that once we fill the tank we don't care about how we drive, over the speed limit, jackrabbit starts, hard braking not anticipaitng lights etc. We complain about prices but do nothing to up the mpg. In many ways we deserve what we get!

    Son just got license, Wow! $1300 a year insurance increase, liability only...

    Look into their own separate policy. Some companies will issue them and if comparable, it elimates you from rate increase due to his driving and also some liability. If on your policy it leaves you wide open for lawsuits IMO

    Is BITOG an endangered species?

    currently using an electric trimmer and blower, so much easier than a gas model and they do the job. My second vehicle (when I change) will be electric, just cannot beat them for around town driving. Rename BITOG to BITVG
