    Calling all Auto A/C gurus!

    I bought myself an 18 oz can of R134 at Wally World for $23, It came with a gauge and hose. This morning I went out and started the 2006 Explorer up and turned the air on to it lowest temperature setting. I also turned the fan on high. The outside temperature was 76?. I immediately noticed...

    Thinning Contact Cement?

    I have a partial can of Dap Weldwood Contact Cement that has significantly thickened up. It is still clear and consistent but like thick honey. The can says nothing about thinning, only clean up with paint thinner. I asked at a local paint store about a solvent to thin with. They really did...

    Topping off an Auto A/C?

    I have a 2006 Ford Explorer that I bought used with 123K on it. The A/C is not as cold as I think it should be. Has anyone used one of these recharge cans with the gauge on it, to top off their A/C's?

    Entering letters in a Business Answering greeting?

    I have called two business numbers, looking for a specific individual. In both cases I got the business's recorded greeting. In both cases I had the option to go to 'the company directory'. The message directs me to enter the first 3 or 4 letters of the last name of the person you are trying to...

    Utility trailer siding?

    I have a 4' x 7' ft utility trailer. I had it built back in '95 to be able to accommodate full 4' x 8' sheets. It is basically a metal framework that I installed 3/4" painted plywood for siding, front, sides and tailgate. The painted wood is now rotting down around the floor and the metal parts...

    Default Printer?

    The wife's Win 7 laptop has two wireless printers set up. Printer A is the default printer. Almost everywhere you request a print job, printer A defaults. The one exception seems to be Windows Outlook.com which handles her email. When you request a print job in outlook.com, printer B always...

    Pros and cons, ie, Windows 10

    Who's signing up? Just because it is free does not make it worth doing. We have several devices running Win 7. The all work well. What is Microsoft's game in offering it for free to users of 7 and 8.

    Gasoline!

    It's fun to rediscover old tricks and techniques. I bought a 2006 Explore a year and a half ago. It desperately needed to be detailed, especially on the outside. The wheel wells, the running boards and rockers and the chrome wheels were spattered with hardened road tar. I do not know how long...

    Back in the day when...........

    ....we could have good arguments, iboats was a much more lively place. There were a lot of good personalities from all over the spectrum. Now, Dockside Chat is dullsville and the Non Boating Technical forum has very few participants.:mad:

    Who is using an android backup?

    Something recently went bezerk with the SD card in my Samsung Gallaxy Mini 3. I lost all my pictures. I wanted to do a backup thing and I have Idrive on all the home computers. Would an Idrive app for the phone be an effective thing?

    Electric Oven not getting up to temp?

    Hopefully this is something simple like a temperature probe but I have no specific knowledge or experience with ovens. This is for a one piece oven w/ microwave unit on top. We were trying to cook a 6 lb chicken yesterday and after 4 hours, at 350? on the dial, it was just approaching 160? in...

    Cell phone bombarded.....

    ...with a variety of calls from a variety of area codes. I am getting this multiple times a day, day or night. My carrier is Verizon but they had no answer to my question. The phone may ring once or twice, sometimes more before it quits. It never goes to voice mail.. If I do not recognize the...

    Defaulting to Windows XPS Document Writer?

    I just helped my Sister in Law set up a wireless Canon printer for her laptop. It uses Win 7. The set up was successful and the Canon is clearly set as the Default Printer. However, every time she selects 'print', whether its to print an email or a selection from a website, the print box is...

    Worth the price of a new car!

    A month ago the Mrs bought (leased) herself a new Lexus RX350. I have driven it a couple of times and it is very nice. Today, on the way back from Mother's day lunch, I hear a noise over the car speakers. She said, oh, that is my my phone. (it was in her purse on the back floorboard). She...

    Message Notification?

    Seems that I no longer get a little red number, in the 'message box', when people respond to posts that I have participated in. Even though it has been a PITA to have to delete the notification after I look at it, it was a good way to know that there were responses in a forum that I might not...

    A FireFox anomaly!

    Recently, maybe after an update, FireFox started to do an irritating thing. When I left click on a link in a website, it either flips the page I am on or opens a new page, either minus the menu bar, minus a right side scroll bar AND minus the URL address bar, so if the page is bigger than the...

    Has anyone used this product?

    It is a holder for cell phones that clamps on to your air vent. I have seen the ads on TV and it looks decent. I have looked in Verizon stores and in mall kiosks and all that anyone seems to carry are suction cup type holders. As you well know, they suck, and not in the way they were...
