    Paint flaked off hood

    Thanks for the advice. Picked up Dupli-color sandable primer, perfect match paint, and 600 grit paper. My plan(let me know if sit sounds good enough)\cruticual step 1. remove any loose pealing paint. (hopefully not ending up with the entire hood unpainted) 2. Mask off area and lightly sand with...

    Paint flaked off hood

    A couple of weeks ago I noticed something on my hood, turns out it was the paint. Maybe a rock chipped it or who knows. This is a 2000 Ford Taurus so nothing I would want to put in a paint shop. I have a square of that clear automotive protective film I thought about trying. I would like to...

    So I published a book

    Bought your book back in October(likely drinking), may read it before the decade is over. I'm not a book reader but keep thinking I should start! Forgot I even bought it until I heard a random radio ad for some audio book site.

    What should I tip the movers tomorrow?

    Having done that type of work I would be very happy and appreciative with $20 and even more with $40. $60 gets you a new name Mr. Moneybags! And a cold soda can be so GOOD when your busting your ass.....

    Any sense in ink cartridge refilling?

    Looking to get a cheap and small B/w laser. This is for at most 400 pages a year. Was looking at 2 models. Canon LBP6030w I was going to get this one until I saw the depth is around 17" with the paper tray open. Brother HL-L2300D Depth here is only 14" which is more acceptable. Any reason...

    Looking for a good digital bathroom scale

    I got a digital scale about 14 months ago and am completely happy with it. Use it several times a week and wouldn't even consider not getting the same model if I lost my current one. Of course how do you lose a scale? Got this one -...

    Dell 15" Inspiron 2in1 (Yea OR Nay?)

    Looking to upgrade my old Dell Vostro 1500 (7-8 yrs.). I don't need much power, just web surfing, hulu, prime videos, typical stuff. No gaming. I would love to get 5+ years out of it. I was looking for a 15" with 1920x1080 (touch a plus) with at least a skylake i3. I have an SSD (850 evo) that I...

    StarWars Battlefront gameplay debut April 17th

    Is there anyway to pre-download this game so it can be gifted with the activation code? Is logging into origin with the code the only way?

    FYI: Hefty makes TV dinner trays (= convenient bodybuilding meal containers!)

    As someone who has been obese for a long time with a high of 315 but more recently hovering around 270, I found this thread and Kaido's passion for food very intriguing. I am very lazy when it comes to cooking so once a week sounded great. I ordered some freezer containers and they went unused...

    Win 10 Upgrade Notification

    Haven't seen it either. I did notice a process called gwx.exe last week. Looking around it seems to stand for "get windows X".

    Key Hack Sort Of

    I wouldn't think there would be anything the dealer could do about the cover. The ignition key is also going to be chipped which would require the truck to be hooked up to a scanner for programing. Seems the best option is going to be a locksmith.

    So SmartWatches are a real thing now?

    I wonder how long they could get the battery to last if all the watch had was a screen with the ability to change faces. That's the only feature that I want, don't even carry a cell phone.

    ***OFFICIAL*** NCAA Men's basketball tournament bracket pools

    At least I'm not in last place. Got 10/16, not that bad for randomly picking teams and knowing nothing. Hoping to get at least 11/16 today. I did even watch some of the games and sort of enjoyed them, which is pretty good considering I don't even like basketball. :P

    Anyone watch CW's Flash premiere?

    Not much going on in this thread, hopefully not an indication on how the show is doing. Thought it was pretty good, an enjoyable hour. I felt the cast was pretty good also. Looking forward to more. And it was shot in my home town, didn't know that. Seems Portland is a popular filming spot nowadays.

    Coast Guard Alaska

    They have it on Hulu, along with a Florida and Cape Disappointment. Watching the first episode of Florida now. Little different then the other two with more potential for drug smuggling.

    Maintaining lightly used car -- idle 10 minutes/week?

    From my limited knowledge that's one of the things that the vacuum pump is used for. When the system is open you need to get out all the moisture from the air out or it will end up freezing inside the system. They use a vacuum pump and let it sit hooked up for 20 or 30 minutes and if the gauge...

    Cheap cell phones for pageplus

    This morning I checked my account and again at 8:51am I was charged another penny. They said it wasn't them which doesn't seem right since 8:51 was also the time I got texts from Pageplus. They said could be apps updating or call forwarding. Which I have neither. Turned off those features and...

    Cheap cell phones for pageplus

    I was looking at that phone before picking the Convoy 2. Would be interested to here how you find the reception because I may still get that phone. Right now I haven't lost signal at home with the convoy but it's only at one bar with rare occasions of two bars. Maybe someone here can answer...

    Euro Truck Simulator 2

    Clear the roads, I am inbound! Have been looking at this game for a while, and at $13.60 with your positive reviews it sounds like a good time to try it. Sitting in front of the computer driving a truck sounds like it is completely boring. Just the type of game I like. Thanks for the sales bump...
