    Gasoline dye

    Can you lightly sand the surface to remove the oxidation if UV has clouded the view? Treat it like a headlight restoration but without the fine grit.

    Looking for network help on my 2 computers

    it is possible the notebook either has a setting blocking the reply to ping or a built in firewall blocking the reply to ping. Another possibility is that when the notebook joined the network you told the notebook (assuming Wi-Fi on the notebook at least) that it was a public network which can...

    Help figuring out the year of John Deere B

    or the not so nice: build a man a fire and he will be warm for a while. Set a man on fire and he will be warm the rest of his life.

    Shop Wiring

    I believe the THHN wire is the preferred wire for conduit. But if you already have Romex, I would use 3/4" or 1" for the 10g wire with plenty of lube. Hopefully, you can break it down into shorter runs. Romex is not as slick as THHN.

    powered hand soap.

    We used to use powdered Tide in a bowl by the sink. It did not take much and the granular soap really added to the scrubbing action. Can you even get powdered Tide any longer?

    Can I test trailer brakes with battery

    Yes, you can test it with a battery. To test if the magnets are working, you can test them with a magnetic compass. With the magnets energized, you should be able to pass a compass near the wheel, and as you move forward and aft, the needle should point a little above the hub toward the front of...

    USPS Rant Update

    I think the USPS does not do itself any favors regarding naming their distribution center like they are a local post office. I had a parcel that came from California via DHL. It was destined to enter the USPS in Austell, GA, and then it was reported at my post office. It was reported at a post...

    2014 ford 150 problem

    Doing a quick YouTube search you will find several videos regarding your problem. One guy suggests that the solder joints may need to be heated to let the solder reflow in the joints. The only other option seems to be to buy a new or rebuilt ACM (audio control module). If you go with the...

    Forum Wish List

    Quite a few old posts have been revived (and are now seen by all; those who used classic view did not see them unless they went back several pages or more). On other boards, I have seen a thread closing timer with the intent of closing posts that have had no activity for a set number of days...

    Ethernet for Win8 and WinXP

    Another option if you have internet access is to sign up for cloud storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft One. etc. Then, you can have the files on both computers and even share files via a link to allow others to see and use the files. For example, I share my recipes on Google Drive with...

    Pic of my electrical connections I carry in my truck.

    I use these with a little dielectric grease added inside. They are a bit up there in price and are designed for certain wire sizes but they seem to work well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B382F6CQ?ref ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th 1
