    The stupidity of Facebook

    There’s a documentary called social dilemma (I think). It tells of the unspoken agendas social media has. If you can trust it, it makes sense. I got off fb when I copied and pasted a court transcript when a local politician sued our governor over Covid mandates. He won and the judge had some...

    Minivan Time fellas

    All in all you can buy a van make and end up with a lemon, again by any manufacturer. I have owned a Pontiac Montana, Chevy up lander, and Toyota Sienna. I love the Toyota but I doubt you will find one for under $10k with under 100k. There is a reason for that. The question to ask is: is there a...

    Aerosol paint question

    You can always go to your local paint supplier and have them mix up the exact color you want and put it in an aerosol. Spray the two colors you have onto a piece of cardboard and take your color to the shop to have them match it up.

    Hood to Radiator Seal "Failure"

    Don't drill holes in your hood. Just relocate the clips butting a hole in the rubber. Rubber wont rust out causing heart ache later.

    Welding ground...don't do this!

    Be careful to not connect your ground in a fashion that could run the circuit across a bearing, like rear end. It could arc across a bearing destroying it.

    Streaming

    I live in a rural area too and have Dish satellite. I would be more concerned with your internet supporting stream speeds needed. Nothing worse then watching 2 seconds then waiting 10 seconds to load. Makes me just turn off all the electronics and read a book. Good luck in your quest.
