    As some of you may recall, we moved from San Antonio, after 32 years, to our son's basement in Marietta, GA, last November to help take care of grandkids. We have been looking for a house since then. Both selections and prices are insane. We found several houses that were sold within a couple...

    This one is for Zorba, but many of you will appreciate it. Moved to Georgia and now we need a car seat so we can take grand-daughter to park. Went online and ordered one. Opened it up and found the installation manual. Three pages on how to install it; 17 pages of modes, weights, heights...

    Gone to Georgia

    After 32 years in the Lone Star state, we have moved to beautiful Georgia to be closer to family. Really looking forward to four seasons! My 18 yr old LJR pulled a 5k lb uhaul with no issues. Kept it right around 60 mph; else I would have stopped at every other gas station. I-10 to Slidell...

    New Grand Cherokee

    Went to visit our oldest and his family last week. Flew into Balmore via Atlanta and headed to Avis for a Rav4 I had reserved. Nice lady said I have upgraded you, space 5. Found a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee in our spot! We own a 2012 GC Overland, so the comparisons started right away...

    A little skin cancer

    Went to the dermatologist about a week ago with what my PCP thought was a boil on my shoulder. Dermatologist says, "Wow! That's the same picture as in the book - Squamous cell carcinoma!" That made me a candidate for Mohs surgery. This is not something you want. Done under local...

    Football tomorrow

    I am mostly fed up with the NFL, but will probably watch the Chiefs - Ravens game. The best thing about Tony Romo is the MUTE button on the remote.

I have found contradictory data regarding the size of the rear, upper shock absorber mounting bolts. Vehicle is a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. Can someone tell me the size and grade...

    New home for subwoofer

    In my old (04) Jeep I had the Tuffy Security Stereo Subwoofer console, but they don't make them anymore. The stereo slot was perfect for my radio and locked up tight. Tuffy still makes a similar console, but without the holes and mounting for the subwoofer. I need my space in the rear, so no...

    Learned something new today

    When you buy new brake calipers, you get money back when you turn in the old calipers. The new calipers come with the rubber boots that go over the slide bushings, but they do not include the slide bushings themselves. Be sure to retain the old bushings, as you will need them for the new...
