Once of the worst parts of having to clean the snow and ice off vehicles in the winter is the damage that might occur to windshield wiper blades. Don’t get me wrong – I love winter and I’d rather have it winter all year long, as opposed to all four seasons. A few areas need […]

After my truck didn’t start the other day, I got a little freaked out. I’ve always counted on the truck to be our getaway vehicle if something terrible ever happened. Having it just “click” when I tried to start it was unnerving. I knew I had to do something about it. By the way, if […]

Well, that didn’t turn out like I thought it would. It was actually much more difficult. All I wanted to do was to bring my lady for a nice 4-wheel drive in today’s snow storm and things turned into a fiasco. I’ll tell you all about it. It was still light outside. I don’t know […]

I had a potentially very bad and annoying morning. I say “potentially” because I fixed a small issue that was causing me to want to throw my beautiful new snowblower off a cliff. Either that or run it over with a truck or drag it around the town by a rope. Boy was I annoyed […]

Laura and I purchased this vehicle in 2009 and we’ve yet to change the battery. I was very nervous last winter when the temperature was below zero. When I went to start the car a few times, I noticed that it had just a tad more difficulty turning over than it did during the more […]

It was only when I discovered the riding mower had actually been shipped that I purchased aluminum loading ramps. I knew I’d need them if I was to use my trailer for either lawnmower or ATV storage. This is the kind of thing I usually wait for the last minute to buy, but not this […]

This is pretty funny. Think about this for a second – back in the day, purchasing a ride on mower was huge. In the morning, you’d pull your trousers up as high as they’d go, hop in your Buick and take a ride out to the closest hardware store (or wherever they sold these things) […]

It’s that time again. Time to watch the small low tire pressure indicator light flip on in the instrument panel of your BMW 328XI. When this happened to me just a few days ago, I was like, “Uh oh. That’s not good.” I think my first reaction was to think I had a flat tire. […]

I have an interesting story for you. When I think about it, I feel a little strange. I’m not sure if it’s because of my impulsiveness or my odd online purchasing habits. I’ll let you read it to get your thoughts. It’s getting pretty late in the lawn mowing season. Even though we’re growing cool […]

This purchase has been a long time in the making. I didn’t want to have to buy a new drill gun because I thought my old Black & Decker was still fairly new, but the truth is, it’s years and years old. As far as I can remember, I bought my first cordless drill back […]
