    Radiator went bad,took it one step further!

    Radiator crapped out on my Grand Cherokee so after pulling most of the front end to get to the radiator the 4.0 engine was staring me in the face. So I decided to pull the motor and replace it too. Long story,short story the Jeep had almost zero oil pressure when I bought it so I bought a...

    Kel tec p32

    Looking for small pocket pistol. Must be small and tame and the kel tec .32 looks appealing. Anyone have this gun? Was first interested in a SCCY CBX2 but 9mm might be a bit snappy for one hand use.

    Bleachbit

    Anybody use this? any opinions? I have it ( did not even know it was on my computer!) but have never used it until now....been playing around with it. Seems good for permanently shredding files. I'm keeping politics out of it.

    %&%# EPA fuel tank

    Filled up new 6 gallon portable gas tank for pontoon. When I came back 5 hours later the tank looked like a basketball and all of 5 gallons of gas were in the lake! Good job EPA.....instead of venting a small amount of vapor I dumped >5gallons into lake.

    HiPoint pistols

    I know, the gun snobs are going to crucify me but I bought a Hi Point C9 9 mm pistol and actually like it. This is for home defense only, I use a DOA pocket gun for CC. Took the gun to the range,,,,,200 rounds without a single failure and dead accurate. Has anyone had experience with this pistol?

    Lithium battery jump start for auto

    Was in wally world today and noticed the everstart battery jump start box was on sale for $9.95. This thing weighs about 8 oz and delivers 400 amps. I was skeptical but for 10 bucks I bought one. Tried it on lawn tractor without battery connected and it turned over faster than if it had the...

    Phoenix HP22

    I guess I am obsessed with pocket 22 pistols. Last one I bought was a Taurus 22PLY and I like it b/c it is double action and it will fire without it being cocked....I do not really like carrying a pistol in condition one mode. That being said I have become intrigued with the phoenix HP22...

    Taurus PLY22 pistol

    Anyone have a Taurus polymer 22 handgun? I bought one b/c it looked intriguing and looks similar to a Berreta. I wanted something small enough not to not print through my pocket. After test firing about a hundred rounds of various ammo with no FTF or FTE I am impressed with this mouse gun.

    Yamaha not running on all 3 cylinders

    91 85hp yamaha sounds like it is only hitting on 2 cylinders. When I first start out on the water it tries to run on all 3 for a second or two then drops back to 2 and stays that way the rest of the day. I ran it this way all last summer but want to fix before the season starts again. I was...

    Windows 8.1

    Got new all-in-one computer with windows 8.1 and I absolutely hate this os. IMO windows xp was the best os ever, simple and clean. Also hate all the free trial software. Solved all these issues by installing a ubuntu linux os.

    New kitchen faucet, low and slow flow

    Could someone explain the logic of a flow restrictor in a kitchen faucet? I just replaced mine with a high end brand and wife complained about low flow. I found out it had a 1.8 GPM flow limiter. To satisfy the wife I drilled out the orifice but how does this nonsense supposed to save water...

    Mosin Nagant rifle

    Just bought a Russian 70 year old Mosin 7.62x54 and finally got a chance to go to the range today and try it out. Man, what a blast, this thing is sweet and fun to shoot. This is my first experience with any kind of military surplus weapon so I had my doubts about it being a useful rifle or...
