    How many use the chalk test for tire pressure?

    The one I use makes use of flour or any other white powder. Merely put a generous amount of flour in front of the tested tire. drive forward through the flour and look at the track it leaves. Same principle just a little quicker since you only have to drive through it a very short distance...

    Corrective Lenses

    Now that you think things are solved, let me tell you about our family. My wife wears those contacts that are supposed to take the place of bifocals. One eye is for distance, and the other for close up. She swears by them. I on the other hand prefer my bifocal glasses. Even though she...

    Lawn Fertilizer

    If you got nothing more from my post, I hope you got the point that you go to the Scott's site for information only. Don't buy Scott's or Miracle Gro unless you have a big pile of money that you just want to waste. Remember, Fertilizer is fertilizer is fertilizer. The governemnt...

    Lawn Fertilizer

    What has been said about the guaranteed analysis is absolutely correct. However, several points need to be emphasized. If you only apply Ammonium Nitrate, you will only be adding Nitrogen. That only addresses the top growth. The other ingredients are there for a purpose. P and K add...

    This is really good

    If I can get this attachment to work, it is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. Well, it was an MP3 attachment and I guess this site does not support that type of attachment. If you can get a copy of "The Accident" it the funniest thing I have ever heard. It is a recording of the...

    KIRBY VAC'S ?

    I had one. They are heavy and very expensive compared to the newer models. Go to Wal Mart and buy a good Panasonic. They will do as well as the Kirby. at a fraction of the original cost and a lot lighter. Arlie

    RV sat dish?

    It does exist. But like most other things there are pros and cons. First thing is that last year the state of Texas passed a bill that forbids you having a monitor that can be viewed from the driver's seat. Yeah, technically, those backup monitors are also illegal. And these are the same...

    Truck Security.............

    TBar: I had an alarm installed on my truck when I bought it. I accidentally tried to unlock the door with a key while the alarm was activated. It set the alarm off. I got it done at a small company on Hwy 80. I think it is Performance (something). North side of the service rd. Just East of...

    Dish Network Problem

    Last Summer I began having trouble picking up one of the birds. I looked for branches, alignment, this went on for hours. I finally set a ladder and was looking all over the dish for any bad connections. It was a little dark, but finally I bent over far enough to look directly at the face of...

    Couple of Radio Questions - Amateur

    Hams, I am very new, but have realized something really quick. When you walk into one of these clubs, the first thing you notice is there are very few young people. What are we doing to attract new young blood? We gotta have them or face extinction. One of the things that I learned and...

    My Radio Saga

    Thanks John. I did replace the base. I think it might be in the base coil, but before I spend another $37 for a new phase base coil, I want to make sure that is the problem. 73 KE5DYD Arlie
