Nothing says 70's quite like Armorall and sliding all the way across the bench seat in your 66 Chevy half ton in a moderate speed turn At least I think it was Armorall, that was a long time ago

Every vehicle I have owned for the last 15 plus years has had a second set of studded winter tires and wheels and yeah, the winter tires are always directional. With the exception of one set of Pirellis (I think) on my TT, I don't remember any summer tires being directional. Up here a tire...

The older boy worked at Home Depot designing kitchens and such and said their inventory system was an absolute joke. It didn't update in real time as sales were made and even big ticket kitchen appliances, cabinets, sinks, etc couldn't be counted on to actually be there so he had to physically...

Still raining so outside detailing is a no go Vacuumed the front floor and mats if the Lexus, dusted the dash and console, and wiped the seats down with ADS Pilot and a Scrub Ninja followed by a dry MF towel, wiped the dash and console and doors with Pilot on the terry flip side of the Ninja...

Under a severe weather advisory for flooding through Monday due to heavy rains in the high country north of us Our house will be fine but the road into our area might get dicey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No reason to say never mind I welcome intelligent discussion, although I am frequently unarmed in any battle of wits The net-metering here in our area is apparently a VERY equitable situation for all involved I guess the fact that here, in both my old house and the new house, I belong to an...

I can see your point of view and admit it’s one of those “no easy answers” situations I watched a news report a year or so back and they were talking about how the Nevada utility companies had put a stranglehold on solar and bankrupted several solar companies that were making huge inroads into...

Although there are always dissenting points of view, I am not sure how else to look at it, other than politics and greed I will acknowledge that so many systems could affect their bottom line but when a company is barging diesel across the Pacific Ocean to run antiquated power plants and charge...

Hawaii was pretty much the same as you described, although the politics were probably even more crooked. The one single utility company simply said we aren't allowing any more backfeed period, and just shut off new applications on a specific date. People who had applied prior to the cutoff date...

There is nothing wrong with trying to simplify and consolidate efforts If it’s my personal stuff and I have all the time in the world I don’t mind 2 steps, or even 3 if you are chasing perfection But most people see a well executed one step and a nice LSP and just flip out anyway They will...

Thanks I used to use quite a bit of 3D One and Speed but haven’t bought any since moving back to Alaska I’m liking NV Precision and Finesse the last couple of years I’m really enjoying the Griots Boss cremes as well I think their middle of the line Correcting Compound is a good one step...

I had to look that up What is the wife’s vehicle? Just curious about paint “type” you are working on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is interesting, solar has become more mainstream in Alaska; however, people don't use batteries here They just let the solar chug along and run the house if it can and more importantly, back feed to the utility where they "bank it" and take it off your usage in the winter Nobody is...

I agree As I use my mitts from the mitt bucket they go into the laundry bucket and when the mitt bucket is empty and the laundry bucket is full, the drying aid towels go into the now empty mitt bucket to soak in whatever soap water is left If I’ve used Megs HCW or something I will add a splash...
