Funny story about a loaner car I got once....back in 1989/1990, I had just discharged from the Navy and bought a new Volkswagen Golf. Immediately upon driving off the lot it was apparent something was wrong with the car. I turned around and brought it back to the dealership. They provided me...
Speaking of dumb questions from the wife:
Prior to hanging the lights on the house for Christmas, I stretched each strand out on the lawn and tested them. All worked. I hung the lights and tested again after they were up. All worked. That night, when we went to look at the lights after it...
Still here and still concerned. I did some more poking around on line and found a way to manually disable the alarm by turning the key in the door twice to the right. There is no audible indication that the alarm is disabled, but it didn't go off last night (also, it wasn't as cold last night)...
What you eat, when you eat it, where you eat, why you eat it. None of that matters. Weight loss is a math problem, nothing more, nothing less. As long as you burn more calories in a over a given period of time than you consume, you will loose weight. It really is that easy.
If you eat 3500...
This happened again last night and for some reason, it only seems to happen in the wee hours of the morning. The alarm on my 2019 F250 will go off randomly. I say random, but there is one thing in common. It only happens when there are temperature changes or it gets cold out. Since I live in...
This is Mika, she is a German Shorthair Pointer, almost a year and a half old now. When not sleeping on the couch, she is either in the pool or chasing squirrels in the back yard. She is FAST. Caught her first squirrel yesterday.
My dad bought a VW Dasher diesel (a rabbit station wagon) back around 1980. That was his car, then it became my older sisters car, then it became mine. We drove the wheels off that thing. After 20+ years, the entire car essential disintegrated around a perfectly functioning drivetrain.
I have a 2019 VW Jetta that I bought as a relatively inexpensive commuter car. My commute to work is mostly country roads with only a few stop lights or stop signs. I drive between 45 and 55mph the whole way. It is 26 miles each way to work. The Jetta will average 50-55mpg on the drive (at...
I agree. I have a portable generator that is large enough to run the fridge, lights, and a roll around a/c unit (you may not need it in Canada, but it is a must-have in FL). I had an electrician install a plug that would allow the generator to run my well....showers are also a must in FL when...
The Plant City Strawberry Festival is each February. This is the quintessential small town fair. The main reason I go is the get the strawberry shortcake sold as a fundraiser by the local nuns.
Not too far from Miami you can get on Tamiami Trail (part of US41)which turns into a loooooooong straight two lane road that crosses the everglades. It may take you a while to get out to the boonies, but you will certainly be able to open up the Mustang and see what it can do out there. Beware...
If you have the time, take a road trip down the Florida Keys. The Overseas Highway is beautiful. Stop at Alabama Jacks on Card Sound Rd on your way down. A great dive bar with some local flavor. Jump Zone, an 80's movie with Wesley Snipes used Alabama Jack's as a film set. Also, stop at the...
In about a month, I will refill all of my fuel jugs in prep for hurricane season. I will have enough on hand to keep the generator running for about 2 weeks, this will power the house and my well. Plus a couple of jugs of diesel to keep my truck moving for a few weeks. I will also stockpile...
