Gripe of the moment. Answering machines without a skip forward button. I still have a landline. So still use a machine with it. Got a cellphone this year, when they said I could transfer the old family home number over to it. But every time I use the cellphone, I'm always pissed off at it when...

Many years ago, I lost the dipstick for my truck. To this day, I don't remember why the F-word I even laid it down, instead of just slipping it back into the tube. 🤨 A few years later I was replacing the radiator and found the dipstick. It was laying in the lower support bracket for the...

Was in the grocery store earlier tonight. I noticed the buggies have gotten a lot smaller than they were, oh say ten years ago or so. Bad knee days, so I was riding the electric buggy. I've noticed the baskets on them have gotten larger. I had $145 of stuff in the E-buggy basket and yet...

1978 xt500e sitting at the home place. I'm original owner. Other parts of life took over and the bike was left with corn-gas in it. Pin holes in the bottom of that gorgeous aluminum tank. Supertrap exhaust on it and I left the stock exhaust in the shed and damn mice nested in the muffler and...

I had a Matco guy that never answered calls or Registered letters (sent to Matco office) after I had a burglary. We (insurance co and I) couldn't read his hand writing on most of the receipts and Insurance co needed that info to make a payout. The ins co spent a little over a year on things...

With those type "Knocker", I always hand tightened it firmly against the flywheel first. Now back it off about an eighth of a turn. You basically just want to feel the threads have some free play in them again. Now I preferred a smaller hammer, say 8oz or so. What your after is a fast sharp...

I just went back to Ebay and tried, again, to get a useful answer about the amount that would be due at delivery. I put three crates in my shopping cart and went all the way up to ready to click the "Buy Now" button. I did not make the purchase though. It just puts this message across the top...

I hope you've been practicing doing things left handed. Do the DRs point this issue out to people nowdays? My Sis had been through it, so thankfully she warned me about it, before I had mine done.

Would be nice to see some solid information. I was looking at plastic crates (milk crate types) on Ebay last night. Ebay search page said it was a U.S seller. But when I clicked that actual listing, you got that tariff warning and a mention that the product was sourced/located in multiple...

In all seriousness for moment. How are you folks viewing your photos before posting? I have had some photo utilities that would auto-rotate an image, based on some info from the camera. But only when you pulled it up in that viewing program. The software that came with my Canon point & shoot...

How do we know that critter aint just a hybrid with some mountain goat in it? https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&hs=IAx&channel=fs&udm=2&q=mountain+goat+on+steep+cliff

Already got Briggs carburetor diaphragms, old style points & condensers and ignition coils on the shelf. Now will I need to double up on my assorted spare spark plugs?

There was a carburetor with a small passage on the metering side of the body. Danged if I can recall which one though. For whatever reason, many people seemed to be just overlooking that little hole and were having troubles with the carbs. To me it it was no different than making sure you had...

A death in the family can leave a lot of things like that behind. Take a look through Craigslist ads and the estate sales and then the free sections. The free section will often have a few photos of the things that didn't go at the estate sales.

You'uns hear that dripping noise? :stick: That's muh heart a bleeding for all y'all vertical video posters with cell phones.
