    Quick Rustoleum question

    I will be fixing up and painting my 15 year old utility trailer in the near future. I see a lot of people mention Rustoleum "Industrial" paint, but don't see any mention of it at all on their website. Are they referring to any of the Rusto products on this page...

    I hope this doesn't open a big can of worms and I don't want it to turn into a rant thread, but I'm lookng for recommendations for a good place to buy tires. This came to mind while I was reading another thread and there was a complaint about annoying upselling practices at quick oil change...

    Technology...Doing something because you can...A short rant.

    To make a long story short, my son got an ipod Nano about 6 years ago. It was about twice as big as this current model in the picture below. He got a newer, higher capacity ipod a few years ago and so was letting me use the Nano. I didn't use it much, but it was a good size for me, and I enjoyed...

    Anyone using "Trusted ID" identity theft protection?

    This offer came free with a new Dell computer and says it's "free for life" for Dell customers. I've seen good reviews of it but before I sign up I wonder if there's any catch anyone knows about? After a little research, it looks like the basic identity monitoring is free, and you can upgrade...

    What email program do you use?

    I'm setting up a new computer & for the last several years have used Outlook Express for email. I got Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010 software with the new one, but Outlook isn't included with that suite. Is it available separately? Or can you recommend some other email software that you...

    Having trouble finding the right size fenders

    One of my next projects will be to get my 15 year old utility trailer fixed up. The fenders on it now are 27.5L x 7W x 10H and are welded on. I'm planning on cutting off the old ones with a sawzall and replacing them with bolt-on galvanized ones. The tires are 12". Problem is, I'm having...

    Computer question - iboats opening in IE instead of default browser Firefox

    This is something that started happening today. In my subscribed threads notification emails, when I click on the link for the thread, the thread opens on Explorer instead of Firefox, which I have set as my default browser. I double checked it and Firefox is definitely the default I have set...

    New BRP control - how many keys come with it?

    Anyone know how many keys come with a new BRP J/E control? I bought a new control one for my project & now that I'm finished it and cleaning up/regrouping, I can only find one ignition key for it. I thought I had two but could be wrong.

    Tongue weight question for my setup

    I have a single axle boat trailer with a gross weight rating of 1000 lb. I figure the weight of my load to be around 700 lb. I've read that the tongue weight should be about 10-15% of the gross weight. I wanted to get a ballpark idea about my setup, so I put the trailer jack down on a bathroom...

    Storing a digital TV in the cold

    I have a 32" digital TV that I am storing for now. My living room is fairly large, and my brother offered me his old 37" TV, so I took it and threw a digital converter on it and the slightly larger screen has made all the difference in eye strain issues from where I sit in my chair. I decided...

    2003 Johnson tilt/trim ground wire

    I'm just mounting my motor on the boat and discovered a green wire broken off. Looking further, I see that it has broken out of the connector where it attaches to the frame. I don't see any way to get at the bolt that holds it in, is there a good way to re-attach the wire to the connector that's...

    "New" snowblower

    I just picked up an 11 year old John Deere, 9 hp, 24" cut from my BIL for $400. The thing is immaculate, electric start, paint looks brand new & I just went through it adjusting and lubing. It was previously owned by a priest who had a 2-car paved driveway, well maintained by dealer. My last...

    How do I get rid of a neighbor's cat?

    Here's the problem. Our neighbor's cat seems to have adopted us, and especially me (a lifelong avowed cat hater). It first started hanging around the spring, which didn't bother me too much, but over the summer, it practically has gotten to practically live here hanging around our doors. If I...

    Last night my son and I went to a local classic car show & I thought I'd share a few pictures of some cars that made my mouth water, that I lusted after in my youth, and that I will go to my grave only dreaming about!
