This is interesting I bought a new smart thermostat for my workshop today, and while scrolling through the instruction manual, I noticed this line: 2 Remove old thermostat faceplate and leave wires connected. 2a Take a picture of the wire connections for later reference. Definitely not something anyone would have [ ]
In the Men s Fraternity video shown at our meeting this morning, the topic was What Every Dad Needs to Know . A music video was included at the end that featured Rick Dick Hoyt, a father/son team that has competed in marathons and triathalons across the country. Yes, it s a team effort, and a very [ ]
Here s something you don t see very often anymore; an inline eight-cylinder engine. This rod is the brainchild creation of Brian Thomas (here s a Hot Rod Magazine article on the car); it s a 1930 Model A. Model A rods are pretty common, but what makes this one noteworthy is the supercharged straight-eight engine from a [ ]
Once again, the reading from Oswald Chambers My Utmost For His Highest was an eye-opener. I found a 30-day reading plan in the You Version Bible app that pulls various readings from Chambers devotional, and today s reading talked about the passage from Luke where the blind man yells out to Jesus to get his attention, [ ]
This ad is just what I was looking for Same model as my car, an M535i, and the same exterior paint interior that mine was originally built with, Diamant Schwarz over Anthracite cloth. At some point the interior on mine was swapped for black leather, which I like just fine, but this is marvelous [ ]

The best results I got, or rather the results that were the easiest and resulted in the best taste, came pretty simply; I d heat a half-gallon of 2% milk to 180 degrees F, let it cool to [ ]
I eat yogurt. Seems like a lot of it. In Europe, it wasn t such a big deal because you could buy a decent sized container pretty inexpensively 1kg (a little more than a 32oz US container) for about 1.50€. Here though, yogurt is $4.00 and up for a 32oz container. I m too cheap to [ ]
I got bored with podcasts on today s route, so I fired up Music on my iPhone, browsed the Artists list a bit, and bumped into Mike Oldfield s Tubular Bells. The recording on my phone came from a dusty old album I ve had for decades; I digitized it about 15 years ago, and probably haven t listened [ ]
Another Random Observation About Germany It took a while to figure out a few things about German naming conventions, and street names are kind of interesting. Our dorm is located in Kandern, on Feuerbacherstra e. Stra e, or strasse, translates to street, so when you re in Kandern, Feuerbacherstra e is the street that leads to Feuerbach. Likewise, when [ ]
