Mine cleaned off fine with a house wash mix designed for use with my pressure washer. Coat it with the wash solution and pressure wash it off. Came off easily.

Re: Hard Top Gazebos and snow load ? - 1 year ago

I have a similar one and have had close to a foot of snow on it. At that point I gently pull the snow off with a rubber squeegee. So it is not maintenance free.

Re: winter tire changeover quandary - 2 years ago

I am in the same quandary, except my winter tires are likely not much better than my all seasons and I am not sure I want to buy a new set of winters when my vehicle already has 170K on it.

Check the oil and make sure it is not milky. Would indicate a head gasket issue.

Re: What you used to pay big $ for but now go cheap on because the quality is "good enough" - 2 years ago

Quotejdc Quotesekker Cars. I doubt I’ll ever buy a new one again. Our most recent is a 10 year old Toyota. Works fine. Depends on the car, and how its taken care of. A 10 year old focus is a POS. Used cars are a huge value these days. Wifes 2010 Mazda 3 w/100K was just feeling its age. Needed lots of new stuff. Already spent $4K on a transmission not long ago. And just dropped $1800 on br

Re: To Flush Or Not To Flush--Water Heater That Is - 2 years ago

I am a proponent (now) of flushing gas water heaters. Just replaced my 18 year old water heater and am glad I didn't do it myself. There was so much sediment that no water would drain so my contractor had to remove a full 50 gallon water heater.

Re: Post Scam Cleanup for my Mother's iMac - 2 years ago

I think I talked her into just replacing the old hard drive since I already have the tools and have already replaced the drive in my iMac so i know what I am getting into. I will try to convince her to get an SSD. Thanks for all the responses. I downloaded Malwarebytes and put it on a flash drive and will run it on her iMac while it is disconnected from wifi to see if it finds anything.

Re: Post Scam Cleanup for my Mother's iMac - 2 years ago

Followup question. Will restoring from the time machine backup be compromised since the drive was connected while the scammer had access? Should I just restore from a date prior to the hacking?

Post Scam Cleanup for my Mother's iMac - 2 years ago

I was on vacation and my mother got a message on her screen saying she was hacked and to call a certain number. She decided not to bother me and called the number, spent 1.5 hours on the phone with "Apple" to fix the problem, and paid them $100 on a credit card. I am just back from vacation now and need to decide how to proceed. Once she told me the story I shut the computer down w

Yes and yes. Had a motorcycle before I had a cage. Currently riding a 92 Goldwing. Had a beautiful commute this morning along the Mississippi. Before getting married I told the wife to be that the bike is not going. She was okay with it so I got a keeper.
