    Robot vacuum cleaners

    So I got one. It was on sale at walmart for like $50, delivered. It's supposed to sweep and mop. And it maps out the area on it's own. Anyone else have one? So far so good. My phone is attached to it so I can see it's mapping out the place pretty good. I need to find a better place to...

    Check... Recheck and check again.

    So I'm wanting to take a wheel and tire off of one John Deere and put on another. Same size tire. The first one came off fine. The 2nd one I had to break out the air hammer and penetrating oil and work on it for a solid hour to get it off. Only to find out that the wheel ID is 1" on 1. And...

    Is my math right?

    So I'm looking for some bar and chain oil, and realized I haven't made a Stens order in a while. But I'm confused about the price on the gallon jugs vs the qt. bottles. Four 1 gallon bottles for $60 or 0.12 cents per oz. $15 per gallon, ain't bad. IF it's decent B&C oil. 12 qt bottles for...

    Samsung is retarded

    So like 2 years ago, I bought a cheap 43" TCL TV. I wasn't expecting a miracle with it. But I've never had a TV that didn't last at least 10 years. Well, it goes out on me last night. (LED light strips) So I decided to get a Samsung 55" crystal uhd they had at Walmart. The website said it was...

    This can't be right. Briggs & Stratton 595660

    Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. I've never seen one that tall, with the big primer hole. I don't have the model number, because the QR code doesn't work. It's only got a serial number 12 0410 54 72598. 140cc 550 EX(I think)

    Stens 2c fuel lines.

    I happened on a box of Stens 2c fuel lines (115-512 True Blue) that I know can't be much more than 2yrs old. Probably 1 yr, now that I think about it. They've been under something else, so I didn't see them. None the less, I opened the box and they're hard already. I'm pretty sure they...

    Fan rubbing

    FD501V-CS00 E/No FD501V061146 For some reason, this fan (just below the radiator) had one fin that had dropped down, like it got hot. And was rubbing on the fan shroud. All the others were fine. No drooping at all. So I heated it up and bent it back up, so it wouldn't hit. Question is, is...

    For starters, I know they're supposed to be called "O possums." But it's 2024 in the US. I think we can get passed all that. :p So I caught this possum limping around on my back porch a couple of weeks ago. When I say limping, that's exactly what she was doing. Something is wrong with her...
