I've been mostly dark roast since I started coffee, but I found Trader Joe's Ethiopia Guji or something light roast and it is amazing. I am going to explore more light roasts now. ...

Places around here are all over $100 for synthetic. I did it myself last time, but I didn't come out that far ahead because while capacity was stated as 6 quarts, it took damn near 7 to reach the level. Those 5 quart combo deals at Advance and such for ~$40 are nice, until you add 2 single quarts fo...

I get that the emergency alert noise is obnoxious to get your attention, but does it need to be so long? I'm listening, get on with it. ...

If I posted, 1 day after we won the national championship. that I think Hurd would be useless and Christian Little would be a key reliever for us, what do you think my downvote ratio would have been? It still doesn't make sense, but kudos to the coaches for going with what is working....

Gage...either get it down, or up and OUT of the zone. No meatballs....
Checked the battery with multi-meter, 12.7v, all good there. Rusty connector on the red...I have cleaned it up before but it was funky again. Wire brush back to a metal color, started right up. There might be other imperfect connections, but I'll take running as success and deal with those later. It...
It hit the first start just fine, but I'm going to charge it while I explore the connections and wires. Glad to hear it might not be the solenoid....

More likely suggestions above, but if you have a kid who plays football who wears receiver gloves, those things get bad enough to stink up an entire room. We have a system where he has to bag the damn things before he gets in the car. ...
I have started this thing with the jump starter many many times, and that is always seat up. It cranked perfectly on the first try with the new battery (3rd one by the way) though, with me sitting in the seat. Sounds like I'm in for a wiring exploration party. That's one area I haven't been. Als...

We had one on a carport wall growing up. Humidity in BR basically rendered it useless. ...
Just replaced the battery because I charged and charged, but it was never enough to start the thing. New battery started it right up, but after parking to brush off (<10 minutes), didn't start back up. Click, no turnover. Could the alternator be good enough to run sparks but have a bad connection fo...
