I had duct cleaning calling me at least monthly. I asked for the business phone number so I could call back when I had more time. Turns out that was the owner's cell number. I called the owner every time the call center called me. I also posted it all over the internet telling others to do the same

Is there any way to renew being a site contributor without using paypal? They charge way too much in fees and a horrible exchange rate for international payments. I avoid using them whenever possible

I've rented some really nice sit-downs in that area. Since you live near me, you may not have experienced ocean riding down there before. You can have a lot of fun ripping around surf and wave jumping those couches. Try to find smaller/lighter ones if you can. Use craigslist. You can find some...

They have this coming too. Seems like a Ford/GM mix. They talk about the CAT engines here, but they're the same engine displacements and configurations as Ford, with the 10 speed transmission. The numbers, including price look good though. Can't say I'm going to be one of the first to try it...

My brother in law got that same one a few years ago for around 60% less than they ask now. It's a great box. They don't really advertise the two levels of quality. Chrome handles have thinner metal and the black are more like pro quality. Much beefier. I'm getting that one in blue in a couple...

They had a similar deal with Dewalt in the spring

This is the tool box I'm after. $200 off in both Canada and US right now. It's still $500 CAD more than the USD price, but after exchange rate my gas to drive to Buffalo, it's about the same...

I don't know about Toyotas, but Fords have the ability to remove the tailgate cable and attach it to the latch bolt. I do this when I need to keep the tailgate from hitting a trailer jack. I can fit two skis in like this. The rocker on the front of the hull clears the tailgate. The second...

I've done it. I have a 6.5 F150 and it works fine. I don't think a 750sx would fit, but I haven't tried. The superjet is tight, but does fit.

I agree with doing it yourself if you can find a couple hours. These thing are very simple engines. Manuals and specs can be found on this forum. The best way to find info is to google "site:x-h2o.com superjet manual", if you want the manual or replace "superjet manual" with whatever you're...

Disc replacement seems to be going well in Germany. I hear that the US is testing it. I hope Canada get into it soon, so that it's free for me. I have five that need to be replaced.

I have a colleague that got a new hip a couple years ago. He was back on the firetruck in six weeks. It's incredible how easy that surgery is now. I'm hoping spinal disc replacement gets to that point soon!

How would waking up earlier help? My complaint was that it was dark when I got to work and dark when I left, but staying on DST would give most people some light when they leave work. Where I live it's dark at 4:30. 5:30 would make it better for so many. It doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm a...

The most depressing times in my life were the years of working in windowless buildings, arriving in the dark, leaving in the dark. Not seeing daylight for 5-6 days a week is really hard on mental health. This guy is talking like nothing has changed in 70 years. Every street near a school has...

OEM spec can be OEM tolerances. Doesn't mean OEM quality of materials.
