    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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.

    If you need to cut the sheetrock to see where the valve connects to the plumbing, that's a good excuse to buy an oscillating multi-tool. The kerf that thing makes is so fine, you can just put the piece you cut out back in with a dab of caulk, paint the seam, vacuum up the dust and you're done...

    I can't say I've ever seen this plumbing piece you're talking about. I've seen backflow preventers on sewer lines in the ground or on hose bibs, but never under the sink. It kinda makes sense, but when something goes wrong, backflow up through a shower or toilet or sink happens now and then.

    I remember sitting in one or two of those courses with my wife after we bought our first microwave at Friedman's Microwave in the early 80s. That thing set us back several hundred dollars. I'm old.

    I think to understand the greatness of the Polaroid process you would have had to have been older than a kid when the cameras were a thing. Naked pictures of your wife/girlfriend were out of reach to most people unless you had a darkroom or unless you were OK with the kid doing the processing at...
