    Is it just me?

    For a fairly long time now I have been experiencing an issue with the comment section. If I add a comment to and thread and click on the post, it takes forever, and I now know that is no big deal and simply move on. But I have also noticed that for any reason I move from posting the comment...

    Harbor Freight Floor Sand Blast cabinet

    I just bought one of Harbor Freight's floor size sand blaster cabinets. I bought it because they had one of their "Three Day Sales" and I got it cheap. Cheaper then their usual 20% off specials. So I had to buy it. However, I see there are lots of mods and suggestions for building it with...

    A spring time heads up

    Just giving you all a little spring time heads up. Today I was mowing some leaves and such to mulch them up. It was just outside my shop. Well as I mow leaves I go forwards and then reverse to let the mower pick up again. While as I backed up one time there was a four foot copper head snake...

    Grease guns

    I guess this as good forum as any to ask this question. I am sure most everybody has used a grease gun at least once in their lives. However, since most home shop grease guns rarely get used much, they hang around until needed. So I have a great question. What do you do when the grease flows...

    Calling all ammo reloaders

    I have been seeing and reading a new way to clean fired empty brass for reloading. And I looked at lots of tumblers that a lot of folks built. So only having a mere small tumbler from years ago that I used to clean brass cases, I decided to make a new larger machine. Well I did and here is that...

    Carb cleaning ?

    I realize there are tons of topics about how someone cleaned their carb(s) up for boats, vehicles and such. But I was researching different methods people used to really clean carbs to like brand new again. Some use typical carb cleaners while others use acid or base type cleaners. So I am...

    Advertisment on top of Page

    Is it only my computer or are others having an advertisement at the very top of the screen for a Honda OB engine? It takes up the page to the point that you have to scroll down to get to any threads to read. Is it just my setup or what? :help: :noidea:

    Attic Cleaning Anyone?

    Since the fall temps finally hit our area, I had a brilliant idea. I would go up in our attic and get rid of some things. Well I did just that. I was amazed at how much "Stuff" was shoved up in the attic. Obviously I did have a lot of good stuff up there, but equally some crappy things as well...

    Smoke Detectors, which one?

    I am sure everybody has heard about changing your smoke detector batteries when you changed your clocks in the areas dealing with Daylight Saving Time. Well I see now that new versions are hitting the market with the Lithium Ion 10 year batteries. And since I have a hosh posh of different types...

    What phone would you buy & why?

    I guess I have to make a decision to remove our landline and go strictly cell phones now, or in the very near future. I have been fighting it for some time. But since we rarely get a legit landline call anymore, why pay a monthly payment? IDK. So, my question is what smart phone would you buy...

    Yellow Jackets

    I made a great find a couple days ago. I was walking in the back yard and luckily I spotted a yellow jacket nest before they spotted me. And that was the great part about my find. I am all to familiar with those %$#@& things. I had a go around one day when I pushed a push mower over a nest. And...

    Lost tools?

    I just have to post this to see if anybody else is having issues with lost tools? No, not tools that have gone bad, but tools that don't come home again. In the last month or so, I have lost at least five tools that has been with me for decades. And I can even remember using them their last time...

    Question about posting comments

    I am not sure if others have seen or are affected by this, but seems random when I go to post a comment, I get one of two options. If I misspell a word, and that IS a given every time with me, I either get a correction suggestion drop down menu, OR I get nothing but a copy and print drop down...

    Torgue Convertor questions?

    Has anybody ever had a torque converter go bad in their vehicle? And if so, what were the symptoms? I am thinking I may have a lockup torque converter going bad but haven't convinced myself yet. I need other people's experiences to make that assumption. It has 175,000 miles on the '98 Blazer 4.3...

    Hummingbirds, no not the fish locator type

    We have some hummingbirds around our place. I am not talking about one or two, but 50 to 100 birds or even more. We have been feeding hummingbirds for about a decade now and every year we get covered up with them, especially closer to fall when they seem to feed up for their migration journey...

    Interesting spark plug info

    I was watching some YouTube videos a few days ago and saw this video concerning spark plugs. And one thing caught my eye and I had to try it for myself. Seems you can easily make a resistive spark plug a non-resistive plug quite easily. I figured hearing that, it was some goofy idea and never...

    Air Compressor issues

    Recently I've noticed that is seems my shop air compressor is taking a lot longer to pump up. Even small pneumatic air tools that use to run with few cycling, is now making the compressor run constantly. And the tools are not running with any real power as well. So I was thinking what could be...

    Computer Questions for those that know

    Okay, I will confess up front. I am in no way any computer expert and I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night either. But I do have a few questions before buying a new laptop. First off, how can you tell if your computer is the problem, or the router/modem (one unit), or actual cable link...
