I say that too, until I leave my little subdivision and enter the land of no HOA where one guy has every car he's ever owned on his lawn and the next guy couldn't be bothered to take his old dryer to the dump so it sits out front next to the old water heater that has dandelions growing out of...

The Crutchfield suggestion is good. I haven't done anything to my van yet because OCD won't let me live with loosing some of the functionality of my steering wheel controls and dashboard integration of my current OEM radio. That's an issue with some installs.

I have an old (5-7 years ago, maybe 600 mb) external HD that has stopped spinning. There're some photos on there I'd like to recover. I figure since the drive motor failed, this might not be possible. Any recommendations on how I might proceed or companies that do this work? I've googled some...

Only the Brave (2017) - IMDb 8.5/10 A good retelling of the events from the summer of 2013.

The Cure for Wellness-Truly the dumbest fucking movie I have ever seen. Gold-Pretty entertaining with a good twist at the end. McConaughey did an amazing job transforming into the lead character. His acting and a good story make for good time at the movies.

Just saw 'Florence Foster Jenkins'. Funniest movie I've seen in years. I'm not a fan of Meyrl Streep but after watching this, I can see why so many people are. She is amazing. Her singing, dancing, facial expressions couldn't have been better. I rate this movie 9.5/10, because it's not my...

How do you settle on ride height without a motor in it? Other than that, very nice.

How about pitchin' woo?

Happy Fourth

Can you get to the meter? The meter has a very sensitive indicator on it that moves with the slightest flow of water. Mark its location with a sharpie, make sure you turn off everything and then check it again in an hour. See if it has moved.

You can pick up a brad nailer for under $30. You'll need a compressor of course, but both of those are great things to have around the house.

If the eyebolts were shorter they'd be less inclined to bend. Also, upper clamp is on backwards. Probably won't matter but if things start to loosen up check there first. Remember, "Don't saddle a dead horse." Job looks great, though, and using that wire really keeps the view open.

There are several reasons for the junction of walls and ceilings and beams to crack. Since only a cosmetic repair was attempted, that is, the crack was painted over, it's impossible to tell whether this happened a long time ago when the house was built or recently like every year. You might...

So long, Wilbur

I had a cat that hated everyone but my wife and I. He attacked everyone and we had to lock him in a room or the garage when guests came over. He bloodied the first guy, my brother, pretty good before we figured out he couldn't be around other folks. It was impressive to watch in a cat/prey sort...

I'm sorry for you. It ain't easy.

The city has an easement on your property. Look through your docs and see if it's mentioned. If it is and you didn't notice it, shame on you. If you can't find any mention of it and you want the manhole lowered and the city says "...sure for $5000 we'll lower it.", get an attorney to write a...

There are enough disclaimers on the title search documents that gets them off the hook for any mistakes they might have made. There's usually no recourse for their incompetence.

If the city has access to it, it should have been spelled out to you when you purchased the property. That's what you paid the title company to do.

I think a lot of this thought that says don't warm up your car is a result of environmental concerns and CAFE regulations. An idling car gets zero mpg and spews out CO for no apparent reason, or so the argument goes. From an engineering point of view, warming up an engine makes sense but not...

On Oct. 17, 1989, God moved my house. It was only a couple of feet but he broke damn near everything in it and it was a bitch to put it back where it belonged.

RIP Merle.

My first copy of Windows

They installed 11 or so of them on a 5 mile stretch of road where I live. The problem is it's the tourist capital of AZ and 90% of the drivers on the road are old tourists who act like they've never seen a round-about and are really timid about entering one. A blast of the horn gets 'em in gear...

Drive with your horn. Use it a lot. Make 'em jump in their seats.

What are you going to do with the info it gives you? For instance, if it tells you your fridge uses x amount of electricity, so what. You can't go without one and you probably already know a new fridge is more efficient that an old one so what have you really learned? You probably will be...

I'm tickled I don't have your job.

It's Phoenix. Why would you want a lawn?

About that patio. You can cover it with pavers very easily. Don't use the thick 3-4" driveway ones, just some around 1-2" thick. Use thinset to hold the perimeter ones on, let the center ones float and sweep sand between the joints. You could also do the sides the same way but I would probably...

RIP Nancy

You guys make horrible Mexicans. The Weed Eater, Weed Wacker The Trimmer

A real man would know a weed eater and a trimmer are two different tools.

Gas-Stihl, but don't buy it at a Lowes or HD. Get it at a dealer that specializes in outdoor tools. They'll have a better selection, a more knowledgeable staff and repair facilities. That said, I own a cheap-ass corded electric because I cut 2 or 3 tree limbs a year and electric chainsaws always...

Back in the day, I know I'm old, there were 3 lane highways. The one I remember while growing up was Hwy 101 in CA near San Jose before it became a major freeway. This Hwy was mostly 1 lane in either direction but for a 5 mile stretch near what was the Ampex headquarters it became 3 lanes. The...

Although everyone does it, where I live in AZ, I think the cop is correct. That center lane is for left turns only and using it to make a right turn so as to merge into traffic is illegal.

Is there an app that will let an iphone 5s see a HD that I have connected to my router? I have all my photos and docs there and I'd like to move things back and forth. The HD is accessible to all my other PCs (Windows) in the house.

I think I wore through side B of that album back in the day.
