Re: Roadside assistance and COVID FYI - 7 days ago

Flat bed tow trucks That's about all I see around here anymore for autos and pick-up trucks. When my truck broke down several years ago (with young daughter riding with me) the truck was winched onto the flat bed with us still in the truck--per the tow operator's direction. Made for a memorable and bumpy ride to the repair shop. --Kledo

Re: Absolutely can't decide whether to cut pine trees around house and in woods - 8 months ago

White pine vs white oak……..what are you waiting for? Seriously though, we had a similar conundrum last year. Taking out massive white pine and planting hardwoods (and cider apples) was the best thing we ever did for our property. --Kledo

Re: any track saw adherents on here? - 10 months ago

Absolutely. Great tool(s). I built our kitchen cabinets and an entire library with an early iteration. Festool makes a great unit, I hear. Mine was from the mid-2000 and made by a guy named Dino (a carpenter who saw a need and mass produced one out of his garage in NJ). My advise to you is to set up some sacrificial 2X4's on saw horses and cut your plywood on them. Any specific questions

Is it SO hard to have an original piece of literature made into a movie? Geez, how many great novels (many no longer under copyright protection) are there that have never hit the big screen? Not enough artists and too many accountants in Hollywood nowadays. Personal rant over….want to buy a copy of the Mona Lisa? --Kledo

Re: Help! Trying to program xfinity remote for mom - 1 year ago

I don't think it can be done (at least with our 2 week old new whizz bang remote). You can select your favorite channels in the live program guide when logged in to Comcast's on-line website, but there is no way that I know of to limit your on-screen program guide to just your favorites with Comcast's box. Now with a Roku box, you certainly can; and I do. It's Comcastic! (or it that Comcrap

Re: How would you smooth out sticky neck on Rickenbacker 360 6-string Fireglo guitar? - 2 years ago

Assuming you are talking about the rounded side opposite the fret board, I would start with Murphy's Oil Soap. It was probably lacquered originally. The stickiness is probably humidity binding to grunge. Next step up would be a very gentle application of mineral spirits. If none of those work, off to a luthier. --Kledo (by no means a professional instrument restorer)
