    New Batteries for Worklight

    It has (2) 18650 6800 mah 4.2v batteries in it now. The charge doesn't last long anymore. Searching, I only find numbers lower than 6800, and voltages lower than 4.2. Mostly 3.7. I know nothing about batteries like these, other than the 4.2 is voltage. I think the 18650 is a type, like a...

    Incessant Beeping!

    For years I have said that I don't need the microwave oven to beep when I push a button, when it's done, or WHENEVER! I know it's done; it shut off! Recently, I mentioned this to a friend of my step-daughter, and she said to google the brand and model number, and I'll find a Youtube video (in...

    Car Stuff...

    ...in Annapolis, MD.? My wife and I are spending 5 days there soon. I suppose it doesn't have to be car stuff, but something other than the shops, winery's and other "chick" stuff. We are going to tour the Naval Academy.

    $1000 Honda Mirror?

    Anyone familiar with later model Honda's and how their stealerships work? Without my knowledge, my 91 year old neighbor set up an appointment to have the pass side mirror repaired, at the stealer, on her 2017 Accord EX-L. It moves left-right, but not up and down. The glass shakes around. I...

    Water Heater Won't Start

    It's old, but if it's a simple fix, that'd be great. A couple months ago, it wasn't as hot as it should've been, but it came around and has been okay until today. The pilot is lit, and the exhaust fan runs (until I unplug it), but the burner won't light. I've lightly tapped the gas valve...

    Gig? A Lot? What's Enough?

    Recently, we switched to fios for our internet. The fios rep sold my wife 1 gig. I don't know anything about this gig stuff, but I'm willing to bet 1 is more than we need. It's just me and my wife, we have 2 phones, 2 chromebooks, and an I-Pad. As soon as the rep heard that, she said we need...

    Jump Box

    Another thread reminded me that I'd like to get one of these. My wife and I are heading to Chicago (by car) for Christmas, and the forecast is for coldddd! It would be a good thing to have in the trunk. What's a good one for personal use? What numbers, ratings, etc. should I look for?

    HVAC Fan Running

    We haven't used our AC for 3 weeks. When I got up this morning, I noticed the fan running. The thermostat is the typical programmable battery powered box store thing that is about 15 or 20 years old. I don't know much about these systems, but I would imagine if the unit had been running, and...

    Thank You Notes

    Are they a thing of the past? We get invited to a wedding, grad party, etc., and absolutely no response as to a thank you. My wife and I have worked all our lives to have what we have. We used to put cash in a card. But now we use a check because we need proof that it was received. Thank you...

    Certified Mail Question

    I know I can get the answer to this question at my local post office, but I thought I’d ask on here first. If you send something certified, with return receipt, do you need to put a return address on it? My wife is the administrator of her mothers estate and needs to send a certified check to...

    Cass Scenic Railroad (vid)

    @RustyRatRod, here's a video about the Cass Scenic RR that you mentioned in your thread about logging railroads. As I said on that thread, I can't get my video up, but this is WAAAAAAAAYYYY better! Make sure you go, my wife and I completely enjoyed it. The open cars give you full appreciation...

    Rain Blows Christmas Lights

    My outdoor Christmas lights are on a separate circuit, so I just flip a wall switch and they go on. Some outlets are in the house, so candles in the windows go on. They're no problem. There are 2 GFCI outlets outside, and most of the lights plug in to them. Whenever it rains enough to get...

    Home Lighting- All Chinese?

    Eighteen years ago, when my wife and I had our house built, we got to the point where the contractor told us the electrician needed the light fixtures. Of course, Lowes and Home Depot's stuff is all Chinese. We went to a lighting-only store, and they had all Chinese stuff, it was just priced...

    Jewelry Appraisal Questions

    How do you select a jewelry appraiser for insurance purposes? A friend suggested asking our insurance agent, since he would be writing the policy. Also, is a rider on our home owners sufficient? Or do we need a separate policy? I've been googling, can't find answers to these specific questions.

    Extreme Cold

    I can't imagine living where it gets really cold. Who has experienced it, and what kind of problems are there? Frozen pipes must happen really quick. It must be hard to insulate and heat buildings. I know you can't bury people until the ground thaws. Cars must have their own problems. I'll...

    Coin Collectors

    My neighbor gave me some coins to look into. She's 89, and has no interest in doing the legwork necessary to find their value. The simplest way to describe them is that they are silver dimes, quarters and dollars and they weigh 8 pounds! There are a few Kennedy half dollars and three foreign...

    Might Need Transport

    A friend and I are heading to Maine Thursday morning to retrieve his broken pickup truck. (The saga: GMC Weight ) We have a pretty good handle on getting it running, but if we can't, what's a good transport service? Open trailer (or cheapest way) is fine. Bangor, Maine to Mullica Hill (South...

    GMC Weight

    Buddy has a 2006 1 ton, crew cab, 4wd, diesel. What’s it weigh? Or what’s a good site to find it’s weight? He was hunting at his cabin in Maine, and it started running poorly, only able to sustain 45 mph or so. A “stealer” in Bangor has it now, and is fully prepared to rape him. Told him it...

    Poor Quality Chrome

    About 3 years ago, I bought these for my 95 F150: Cragar Chrome Smoothie Wheels 1527477402B They started rusting almost immediately, even with regular waxing. To Cragar's credit, they refunded every penny. It was that, or they offered to replace them. I told the woman, thanks, but I don't...

    I Don't Have A Clue...

    ...what's going on. The pic shows what pops up on my (MacBook Air) screen about every 10 seconds. It only happens when I'm on FABO. I can't continue until I click "cancel". Anyone know what this is? Easy on me, I'm not much with computers.

    Rockauto Heads Up

    fcs,341645,shock+absorber,7556 If you order this shock, you'll get the wrong one. The bottom mount is a blade, not a hole. The picture is wrong, but I thought the part would be right. Nope. I never had to return anything to Rockauto before. You can't get a person. You just answer a million...
