    Gas Prices 1947

    I can remember back in the early 1960's, when I was in junior high and high school, I paid 25 to 30 cents for regular gas. They would have gas wars and the price would get down to 15 to 20 cents a gallon. They brought out unleaded gas at that time and no one would buy it - they could not give...

    tire advice needed

    If you are changing the tires on the ground because they are old, just remember the spare is just as old even though it has not been on the ground (have you checked the air in your spare). The spare may be considered "just the get home tire", but consider that you may be in the middle of the...

    tire advice needed

    Carlisle tires seem to have more to them than comparable other brands. Compare the specs. I have had good luck with them on my utility trailer, and Carlisle came stock on my EZLoader trailer. My 5th wheel camper came with GoodYear Marathon tire. So far they are working okay. What ever you...

    Raising trailer tongue higher than standard jack

    I had a similar problem with a boat I had many years ago. I found the solution when the tongue broke. Come to find out, the boat was too far forward on the trailer. I moved the boat back about a foot on the trailer, and that solved a whole bunch of problems. Tongue weight was better, bumper...

    The hyperlinks work for me. Firefox is my default browser and the link works fine with it. I copied the link to Internet Explorer and it works there also. Try re-starting your computer and see if that helps.

    bow thrusters

    Here is the company URL for Sideshift http://www.sideshift.com/. I like the idea of their retrofit bow thruster bolting to the rake of the bow rather that being on the bottom.

    police at my house

    The cops won't show up for property crimes? That sounds like a law suite waiting to happen.

    My Stupid BlackBerry and Advice Sought on Android Phones!

    People I know who have iPhones love them, even though they cannot use them half the time because of the lousy AT&T coverage. If that rumor is true about Verizon selling iPhones soon, why not buy a used/refurbished cell phone in the interim. Just Google "used cell phones" and you will find lots...

    disc brake binding - only in reverse direction

    It is kind of hard to say what is wrong without taking it apart. Usually, the problem I see is the caliper binding - not moving from side-to-side. Usually they can be cleaned and lubricated. You are talking about binding when backing up. That sounds like one of the bolts for the caliper has...

    File Under "Lessons Learned"

    In the Navy we tested several lubricates and we found Break Free CLP to be the best. All the corrosion/rust we used to experience all but went away. I have used it for many years on all my guns, locks, hinges and anything else that needs lubrication with great results. For padlocks, Master...

    Boat Letter Size

    It depends upon where you want to put the name. You can get an idea of how different size letters will work by using your work processor. Set the orientation of the paper to landscape. Set the margins to 0 (zero). Then type the name. Then select the name and change the font size. 72 point...

    Wrap-around all-round light?

    The 135/225 NAV lights will not satisfy the 360 anchor light requirement. I remember seeing a description of a 360 light that wrapped around the mast of a sail boat. I thought it odd, but sail boats have different lighting requirements depending upon whether they are running under sail or...
