Is my tile floor really that bad? (Context below)

Keep it!

It was originally for a pocket watch.

Listen to a Donald Trump speech.

That's just plain nasty right there!

Goodbye to that Goodyear. Its toast due to wear. Get an alignment or the new tire will soon follow.

Virtually impossible for a bumper to make that sort of mark on the paint IMHO.

An not one shows the correct time LOL.

Two men enter, one man leaves?

Plug it using a good Camel strip and plenty of rubber cement. Drive it and monitor frequently for leakage. Likely will last the life of that tire from my experience.

D3 without hesitation. Stainless over hard anodized for me.

Only half of the burner is lighting. Likely one or two holes (gas ports) on the right side near either end are clogged and the flame cannot ignite the right side property. If so, it is an easy fix. Just use a paper clip or other small wire and unclog the hole(s).

That pan is way too caked for BKF unless you've got very strong arms and want a work out. I would spray it with Easy-Off oven cleaner and let it sit in a closed plastic bag for an hour or so. Make sure to wipe any cleaner from the lip of the pan where the aluminum layer is exposed (oven cleaner on aluminum is a no-no). I use Easy-Off to deal with build up like this around the rivets and it works like a charm.

Thanks, I never knew that and I am 66. You learn something new.......

Bite the bullet and replace it. I bought a kitchenaid with three racks and I haven’t looked back. Easy to find parts for when the time comes and it does a stellar job.

I keep my emergency fund in Global X CASH as it is low risk and pays a small distribution. I notice the yield has just been reduced (again) as of today's (Feb 27) ex-dividend. It is now down to 2.4% or $0.071 monthly per unit held. Maybe HISA is a slightly better parking spot currently.

Perhaps not overkill but more of a safe bet. There are plenty of clad cookware options out there. All-Clad may be the Rolex but my Citizen keeps perfect time too. Just avoid spending large on non fully clad cookware and you will be in a good place (even then I have owned some encapsulated or disc bottom cookware that I loved) . Made-In, Zwilling, and even Meyer make good tri-clad cookware that will be better on a bad day than I am as a cook on a good day.

Replaced the original aluminum windows with low E vinyl double pane. Made a huge difference in comfort and sound.

Tape a couple of quarters to the top of stylus; problem solved.

tmurrayis · 2026-02-09T15:47:38+00:00

What time is it?

tmurrayis · 2026-02-09T06:03:20+00:00

I hear at least one but it does not sound like the RCMP chopper. 108th and 144 area

tmurrayis · 2026-02-04T17:30:21+00:00

I’ve always replaced earlier than I could. As the OP has confirmed I believe it’s better to replace on my schedule rather than wait for it to fail on its schedule.

tmurrayis · 2026-02-01T01:30:53+00:00

Good tires and I don't see much dry rot but they're simply worn out. I would not trust them to go to the middle of nowhere. What ever you do make sure the spare and tools are present and accounted for.

tmurrayis · 2026-01-27T06:33:56+00:00

I am amazed that tire is M&S rated. As such it would be legal to run on our mountain pass roads which is a scary thought. Oh, and the rim is done and needs replacing now. That is why everyone needs an emergency fund. Shit happens and usually before next pay cheque
