    Any Tips on Transporting an Upright Piano.

    High cholesterol problem

    Try and stay away from Rx meds. They all have some side effects. Try fresh wheatgrass. Very good if you can get a wheatgrass grinder.

    Fun with small-engine carburetors

    You will have to adjust the needle valve. Sometime turning it one way then back again will loosen the gummy stuff to let it run again. But for the most part an adjustment will be needed. It took me about three tries before I got it running smooth. Check u-tube videos on carb adjustments.

    Fun with small-engine carburetors

    First I would check to make sure you ran the hoses correctly. I've helped a few friends out and that was part of the problem. Second, FRESH fuel. (try buying fuel from a marina. It cost a little more but no alcohol in it) Third, sometime trash can be knocked into the carb, the tiny tubes get...

    Electronics Guys - name this connector type

    Radio Shack is becoming more and more useless. They told me they are not stocking plugs as much if at all. Suggest I go to website. If you go to the web might as well get the best deal you can. Also you could have a broken wire at the connector.

    How do you know you have enough to drink?

    quote Just a minor quibble - a 4 oz glass of wine would have around 1/2 oz of alcohol. Wines' natrual alcohol content is only about 10-12%. Any more than that it has been fortified with alcohol. About the breathalyzer use a timer and wait atleast 10 minutes from your last drink of any alcohol...
