I'll start: Points and condenser on small engines under the 'impossible to remove' flywheel. gaah

I looked everywhere on the forum and can't find this silly topic. I yawn several times whenever I wake up, even from a nap. I had always been vocal until I found out that it irritates people :(. Then I found out you can control that part, and have been silent ever since. FIL would yawn so loud...

Ok, I've never been a 'solar' fan because we have mostly overcast days down here and it just doesn't work :(. DW bought a box of 16 of these for $32 for me to play with. I didn't have much hope for them, but I stuck them up anyway. Well low&behold, they charge fully on completely overcast...

I don't usually start a thread, but I looked everywhere and couldn't find one on this subject. We happily pitched our 2 rectangular ones with the 2 handles, that required 2 people to move when they are full, before we moved here. They were over 40 years old and they sukt:mad:. We are going to...

For me: 1. Being able to stay up as late, and wake up as late as I want, every day. 2. Being able to drink beer on weeknights.

I have always shaved with a disposable razor that costs 20¢ each. I get about 5 months out of each one. :thumbs: Thinking about getting an electric since I have ET. When you put a razor-sharp instrument, in a shaky hand, connected to a jerky arm, and put it to your face, sometimes it ain't...

My neurologist changed my prescription for essential tremors from propranolol ER 60mg to primidone 50mg with a stair-step plan starting with half a tablet per day going up to 2 tablets per day over a months time. I read up on it on WebMD and it's complicated. Any information/experience would be...

This is just for the people that hate fumbling with a flashlight when the power goes out. What you really want is a lightbulb that doesn't need electricity to work: DW's aunt discovered these and got us some. They are LED bulbs with a built-in backup battery. Here is one hanging from the...

In the beginning everyone had a vehicle to drive wherever they wanted; life was good. But if you wanted air-conditioning, all you could do was roll down the window while you drove. Along came R-12 FREON and vehicles had ice-cold A/C! Life was great. The system had a sight-glass on it and you...

Well, be glad you don't work in Alabama! https://the-daily-star.com/bessemer-al-funeral-home-employee-cremated-by-mistake-while-taking-a-nap/ Wow. All I can think about is how long 15 seconds is. ...And that was only until he couldn't scream any more. *Disclaimer: I worked with people like...

I searched everywhere and could not find a thread for brainteasers or brain games so here we are. I thought this one up just for preppers that do a lot of canning: You have no measuring cup. But you do have 2, clear-glass quart jars that have only the full mark on them that says "1 Quart" (4...

You may want to know this. Models LA125, LA105 (there may be more) look like this: The engine looks like this: They have a little secret. I was raised up in the old days when an engine started using oil, smoking, and fouling the sparkplug it meant there was a problem with the piston rings...

In preparation for our move to Louisiana in September I have been going thru some of my junk in the attic. I always seem to have a knack for collecting stuff that would become valuable years later. About 25 years ago I had over 13 video arcade machines. I kept lots of spare parts. I sold almost...

I couldn't find a suitable thread to glum this on, so here goes. Short story, my wife and I will be moving to LA (the good one) and I know reciprocity will allow my Alabama permit to be good down there. Are there any differences in getting a permit down there? Up here, you just hand them your...

GET THE DAMN SHINGLES SHOT!!!! I thought about it a few times the last couple years and farted around. Meh, it's just a skin condition, like getting poison-ivy. No big deal. WRONG! It ******* hurts! It hurts a LOT! It gets into your nerves. If I had to choose between it and the flu-shot, I'd...
