    ....cleaning oil stains off of concrete drive ways? A combination of minor oil leaks from my venerable old E-150 and a few minor mishaps, my driveway is starting to look 3rd worldish, or at least trailer parkish.:(

    AMD cpu question.**Hey, where are all you Comp. Gurus?

    Which would be the preferred chip in a Dell Laptop. A Sempron 1.8.ghz or Turion 64 x 2 1.6 ghz? I'm seeing Dell 1501's with one or the other of these. At first glance the 1.8 would seem to be the choice but from what I could find maybe the slower one can do more things better at one time. As...

    76 Merc 188 fuel question.

    By 1976 US automobiles were being manufactured with hardened valve seats. This, of course, was necessary to withstand lead free gasoline. While sweating in the back of my Beachcraft today, finally getting around to pulling the risor studs, my eyes fell upon a sticker on the valve cover that...

    Outlook Express attachment question

    When loading several pic files onto an email, they always load on in the reverse of the order you attach them. Is there any way to remedy this. When you are sending six pictures it is a pita to load them 'last first'.!

    Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? Preliminary diagnosis is in!

    Who's had it and who's taken the cure? and how quick were you back at it? For some time now, certain motions and requirements of my left hand have been inhibited. Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours leaning on my left hand while down on my knees painting primed rust spots on the top of one...

    Removing risor gaskest, revisited.

    Replacing aged, crazed boots on my '76 888. One sprung a leak thru one of the zillion cracks on the inside of what appear to be the original connecter boot. With risors off, upside down in a vise, it was relatively straightforward to razor off the old gaskets (still tougher than nails) then...

    Ah! The re-awakening

    Finally got around to waking up the Gulfstream 5.0, from it's winter slumber. It does the soul good to hear the rumble of the ol' Ford V8. It couldn't have happened a better day. Unusually warm (85 deg) pre-summer day. I cranked it over til the oil pressure came up, then goosed the throttle...

    '97 Ford E-150 Cruise Control?

    The Cruise Control in my venerable '97 E-150 van just quit. After 11 years and 223K miles of reliable service, I guess it was time. The CC is controlled from steeringwheel switches with the on/off and set speed buttons. Is anyone aware of what the most likely component to have failed is? It...

    Forwarding an email with a .eml attachment?

    Why would the forwarded attachment change from a .eml file to a .pps file? I received an email with a 'slide show' of Russian Military planes. The attachment shows no extension in the attachment window but checking properties shows it to be a .ems file. I forwarded to my dad and the file...

    PhotoBucket and picture size?

    I tried numerous times, to downsize a picture so I would not engage those dratted scrol bars. Because there is no bar at the top of the post, it makes it a PITA to read the text. I ended up cutting the picture width by 50%. It made no difference. It was a horizontal picture that started out...
