    Need advice-again

    Cash isn't worthless, but in inflationary times, cash sitting idle loses purchasing power. Never fall in love with something that can't love you back. A car is a good example of something that can't love you back. Some cars can appreciate in value, but a 1993 or a 2019 car will not appreciate...

    Go buy a lottery ticket. The upside is that the 50-hour service will be at 144 hours. :)

    Need advice-again

    Sell the 2019 before the market drops like a stone as soon as the chips become plentiful and the showrooms are again full of new cars.

    Dumping landline phone service?

    If I dumped our landlines (2), we would be without the ability to call police or fire departments. The closes cell tower is in the next state about 4 miles away, and service is horrible once the leaves are on the trees. Winter isn't too bad, but even then, if you need to call for assistance on...

    BX2818A Hydraulic Rotation Kit

    Might anyone have a copy of the installation and parts diagram for the BX2818A hydraulic rotation kit? I searched Messicks website and couldn't find the parts diagram for this particular model, but they have the parts diagrams for a lot of other models.

    Daily Chuckle

    Having already downed a few power drinks, she turned around, faced me, looked me straight in the eye and said, "Listen here. I will screw anybody, anytime, anywhere, their place, my place, in the car, front door, back door, on the ground, standing up, sitting down, naked or with clothes on...It...

    Where do I check/add gear oil to my L2195A Snowblower?

    There is a hole above the chain, so you can dribble some oil onto the chain using that hole if you have a steady hand. I use the styrofoam trays that they pack meat on after my wife washes them, to catch the excess oil, and then pour it back into the jug. There is a vent at the top of the...

    42 years ago today, January 2nd 1980

    Lyme disease is carried by the small deer tick, and even though it is cold in many places, the ticks are still active anytime the temperatures are above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The tick is so small that you rarely ever see it on the dog, especially long-haired dogs. All of my dogs wore flea and...

    Snowblower gearbox oil replacement

    I see that many of you are disregarding the fact that the gearboxes of snowblowers use brass gears, and GL 5 isn't good for the brass. Don't want to believe me, then read this and then decide for yourself if you want to risk damaging your gearbox. If you don't want to read the whole page, then...

    Snowblower gearbox oil replacement

    You need a GL4 gear oil since the GL5 gear oil is known to attack the yellow metals, more commonly known as brass. GL4 is safe for brass. If you have an older car with a brass synchronizer you would be aware of this.

    Tractor bucket thumb

    This is mine, about 16 or 18 years ago I installed it on my BX22. The company that made this is no longer making tractor implements. It wouldn't be difficult to make one if you can weld. The nice thing is that you can remove it when you don't need it by pulling 2 pins and disconnecting the 2...

    what oil would you use???

    I have found the Valvoline in both quarts and gallon jugs at NAPA in the 5W40 a couple of weeks ago. I just googled it and Advanced Auto has the best price at $16.99 a gallon...

    Household Appliance Maintenance: Share Your Successes and Failures

    After I wrote this, my wife told me that the dryer still wasn't drying, and I called and scheduled a 4 visit of the repairman. This time we got one that had previously been here and he diagnosed the problem and ordered more parts that were installed by another repairman. They don't have any...
