re: Is it worth it getting headlights from RockAuto?

Posted by blucollarskolar on 1/27/24 at 6:29 am

I purchased headlights from them for my son’s 01 tundra. Perfect fit, no issues at all. I’ve used Rock Auto a few time over the last 20 years and haven’t had an issue but once, and they corrected it....

Where is the fwd/rev switch at? Rocker switch on the dash or handle below the seat? If on the dash you might be able to do some programming without replacing the controller. How old are the batteries? Have you checked voltage of each batter individually?...

re: Zwolle tamales

Posted by blucollarskolar on 3/19/23 at 7:19 am

Pretty sure OP is referring to Zwolle, LA being the tamale haven. It is located in piney wood forests of NWLA nowhere near the delta or cotton fields. I’ve never heard of a Zwolle, MS, but I’m sure there is not another town of that name associated in any way with tamales. OP, here is a brief hi...

re: Bad experience at ATV store today

Posted by blucollarskolar on 2/18/23 at 10:59 pm

I tried to buy a lawn mower from a “dealer” last year. They added over $400 in fees and requested that I pay for the $300 mulching kit up front prior to them ordering the kit. I left and bought the same Bad Boy mower at Tractor Supply and saved about $500. It will only be normal if people continu...

I’ve seen it used as topping before. I’m not a big cilantro fan. Like rosemary, a little goes a long way way to me....

re: Have you ever lived in an absolute shithole apartment / house?

Posted by blucollarskolar on 2/11/23 at 8:45 pm

Out of high school I lived in a 2 bedroom “apartment” that was once a detached garage for a house. The house had been demolished and the garage converted to an apartment. It was two story, 20 x 25’ roughly. The bedrooms and bath were upstairs. A hard wind would sway the whole house....

re: Knife sharpener recommendations

Posted by blucollarskolar on 2/9/23 at 11:56 am

I think if you are going to invest in good knives then you should also invest in a good sharpening system. I've never been able to master the whetstone, so I use a Wicked Edge system. Not cheap, but I don't want to have to replace expensive knives either. [link=(https://wickededgeusa.com/)]Wicked...

re: Im considering changing out my vented gas logs for ventless gas logs.

Posted by blucollarskolar on 10/12/22 at 4:03 pm

We have ventless, and wish it was vented. I believe there's no better option than ventless if your goal is more heat. But, ours is almost too hot to enjoy. Like others have said, vented options are much more visually appealing, and way more options for vented logs....

re: Can mildew be cleaned from caulk?

Posted by blucollarskolar on 5/4/22 at 11:34 am

We recently had the same issue. I had tried just about everything to get it off, and had come to the conclusion that I will have to remove/re-caulk the whole shower stall. That was until some one suggested I try toilet bowl cleaner. I put it on, and let it sit for the day. The majority of it just wa...
