Now that Microsoft isn't supporting or sending out security updates for XP, I need to decide if we are going to upgrade to Windows 7 at $100 per computer for individual licenses, or pop for ne...

I hear and see the term ‘Back in the Day’ used often. I understand what it means to me; at least I think I do, but it may not mean the same to someone younger or older. Does the genesis of the term apply to the age of our cars? If so when Derek says back in the day, is he referring to the early 1900’s with his mod...

Depending on how you look at things I am really saving LOADS of money at the company store. A couple of T shirts for the wife, a couple of umbrellas, some regular and a set of electronic ear muffs, some ammo cans for $9.50 ea. Gun cleaning kits for AR15 plus chemicals and the good cleaning rod. ...

Wife decided that she wanted a new car AFTER $1200 in repair work to her van this week. So went out today and she got a new Ford Fusion in a metallic black. Nice car now to make the payments and she will be driving my car to keep miles off her car.

In the past, the MSRA had a link to a page with the non-oxygenated gas stations in Minnesota. I have been using a list that I downloaded several years ago.

This was sent out to us by the head of our I.T. Department at work. They're kinda worried about it - thought I'd pass it along.

Last fall I installed a Griffin aluminum radiator in my 68 Malibu. I replaced both radiator hoses at that time and installed stainless "worm gear" style clamps. I have had problems with coolant leaks on the lower hose on 3 occasions, and even tried 2 clamps to ensure a good seal. I had th...
