    The Montana cowboy

    A cowboy was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

    Santa is a Woman

    I hate to be the one to defy sacred myth, but I believe Santa Claus is a woman. Think about it: Christmas is a big, organized, warm, fuzzy, nurturing, social deal, and I have a tough time believing a guy (and a "straight' guy at that!) could possibly pull it all off! For starters, the vast...

Engine did not start, oil was clean, compression was OK, gas was cruddy, the guy was sure that it was gummed up over the summer, and knocked $50- off for the carb repair costs. Cleaned the carb well, hit the...

    Propane BBQ o-ring size

    My propane BBQ still has the "old" style fitting on the supply hose. I've always been good about changing the o-ring, so never bothered changing to the newer style as the old one still fits the tanks. I've always just gone into a hardware store and bought a pack of the o-rings labelled for...

    Any upholstery Gurus ?

    I have a couple of 25+ year old lazee-Boy recliner/rockers at the cottage. The upholstery is...well...25+ years old, and pretty grungy. Over the years I have had to take the chairs apart a time or 2 to adjust or repair mechanisms. Once the chair is apart, the upholstery removal and replacement...
