    Good morning!!!!

    We contributed a bag of chips and a jar of salsa to the National Tortilla Day office party šŸ˜šŸ‘ last night I stuffed pieces of steel wool in and filled the void with foam. I haven bought steel wool in about a dozen years — DAMN but the pads have shrunk!!! Later (indeterminate ly but possibly...

    Good morning!!!!

    It doesn’t take much for my filter to get ā€œpartially dirtyā€ here in the Smoky Mountains - we have three pollen seasons and I primarily use the truck on rough, dusty roads in the woods. if I clean my filter in March, it is turning yellowish green with pollen within a week if I use the truck...

    We are thinking of changing cellphone providers and the intended provider’s current smartphone offering is an iPhone 14. now then, Mrs is not exactly anā€technophobeā€œ, but she and technology are *not exactly* on friendly terms. . . When I got her Moro-Z, she hated it, and after almost two...

    Good morning!!!!

    The biggest sensor problem we have with the F150 is the Tire Pressure Sensor units in the tires! I wash/oil my filter twice a year, it seems to do the job. But I am only putting about 3000 miles a year on the truck, so it is getting cleaned every 1500 miles or so, which probably makes a big...

    My existence is full of aberrations. People wonder why I often exclaim ā€œBORING IS GOOD!ā€. I would like some ā€œnormalā€ boring problems. . . 🤪

    Starlink

    I only have the new-style StarLink router, but no additional network extenders etc. my iPad works fine, no interruptions, it really pisses off my wife. . . The printer (HP8160) drops off the network occasionally and I have to manually reconnect it, too. Also, our RoKu is working fine (THANK...

    Good morning!!!!

    When we got our F150 new back in 2016, one of the first things I did was order a K&N filter/intake system, which replaced the factory intake pipe with a more efficiently designed piece and a washable filter. It was good for about 1.5 MPG improvement (I did a 3-month baseline and I keep a...

    Some weird stuff has been happening on our StarLink network. Mainly with my wife’s devices (Samsung tablet and MotoZ phone). The devices connect to the network but have no internet access. If I throw the devices into Airplane mode, then enable WiFi, then take it off Airplane, they work. . ...

    Our local sheriff posts arrest to Facebook. But even without that, the constant stream of strange vehicles for short visits (as short as 30 seconds) at all hours is a good clue. . . Not to mention several visits by multiple LE vehicles several times, and regular visits by CPS and Probation. . .

    Horrible Fright wrenches are just what you need for those weird, obstructed applications where you need to heat it up with the torch and bend it in a vise in order to sneak it into some spot that someone with an engineering degree decided would be a perfectly logical place to put a nut/bolt/stud...

    Higgins was known for the landing craft, but also built other vessels, up to small freighters. There were several PT builders - just a bit a ways from where I lived was Electric Lighter Company in Bayonne, NJ. PT109 was built there. The boatyard succumbed to the CondoCommandos about two decades...

    A friend of ours has HughesNet. They usually run at about 0.9mbps, which is even worse than the crappy DSL we just got rid of. Meanwhile: And this is with the Starlink ā€œBest Effortā€ - not even the full service. If the HughesNet is sufficient for your needs, save the money.
