    You Northies live very different lives. Then again, you find it strange our water heaters convert to water chillers for half the year. I always hate swapping the hot/cold labels on the faucets.

    Watch for post of my first lightshow. Car comes with the ability and some canned lightshows already in the car. I found an app that lets any bozo create their own and I score high on the bozo scale. Supposedly, you just give the app any music file and it will generate an "interesting" pattern...

    Usually not a believer of "When in Rome...", but ordered a yoke for our Tesla. I knew I would replace the bleak black round factory wheel that seemed out of place amid the white interior. So, why not try a yoke if replacing the wheel anyway? I know some owners have a hard time parallel parking...

    Completed my quest to get a veteran plate for our Tesla. Social media, MVD chat, phone and counter people ALL swore our Tesla could only have "Alternative Fuel" plates. You went to a state university, or don't beat your kids, or are a congressional Medal of Honor winner, etc, etc, tough luck...

    Garage EV charger. Took a while to find a reasonable quote to install. Seems electricians know all the incentives to install one and feel 90-150% of that should be theirs. ;) Involved replacing an unused ~40 AMP? 240 volt breaker for electric dryer with a 60 AMP 240 volt breaker for the...

    Depends on the crowd I'm around. With the Mustang, Cadillac, Jeep and classic car crowds, I inherited the Tesla with the provision I could not sell or give it away and must keep it registered and insured.

    Decided to try a Tesla. I'm not anti fossil fuel or anti CO2 but liked the idea of: No driving out of the way and waiting in line for gas. Just plug in charger at home. Sounds of silence when not enjoying the Mustang's roar. Literally thousands fewer moving parts to wonder when will...

    Microsoft will replace Windows 11's terrible Mail & Calendar apps with the new Outlook app in 2024

    How does this impact the Outlook program included in Microsoft 365? Please don't say that will go away.

    Thanks. Today I need to switch back to locking lug nuts. I had replaced 20 locking lug nuts off the factory wheels with the factory lug nuts before driving to Costco just to be nice to them but also so they didn't see those and use that as an excuse to enforce their no aftermarket wheels...

    I replaced wheels and tires on my Mustang. I really liked the look of the factory wheels but wanted a square setup I could rotate and significantly more tread width. I had Michlin PS4s's on the factory wheels but the new ones are 285 width front and back on 1/2" wider rear wheels and 1&1/2"...

    Nice pedestal and appliances. We like our vanilla white LGs. Since its a good idea to leave the washer open after use, I'm guessing the bowed window may want to lean on the door frame like ours. Doesn't seem to mar either though even if you don't put something soft between.

    That's awesome! I never understood why the pedestals cost that much, so I refused to buy any and pretended I'd rather use the appliances as a work bench. Still haven't figured a good way to mount a large vice on the dryer.

    Is it dangerous to ignore fate? Should I accept fate and stop trying to buy a Crimson Trace? First a "like new" from Amazon was an empty box for all practical purposes. I ordered a new one from Amazon. When I tried to insert the batteries, one was ejected every attempt. At least once it hit...

    Already sent back. I just made sure I talked to a person at Amazon to document it. And I recorded that call. Had to laugh when they tried to talk me into exchanging it for another "like new" one. SMH. Then I couldn't just drop it off at UPS because Crimson Trace come with Lithium batteries so...

    Couldn't find the thread of pictures of attempted purchases. I broke one of my rules which is never buy any electronics except brand new. I've bought new devices with intermittent problems that were returned. No doubt to be offered as open box, like new, etc. because it tested out okay or just...

    While assembling the garage cabinets (few posts back) I discovered a problem with a laser level I had. The bad news was I actually assumed the laser was aimed parallel to the level it was built into. The good news was I had never used the laser part. Was shopping for a level and one with a...
