Yes, incomplete suggestions. Many people keep ‘things’ because they want to relive the memory. It might be an old settee your Grandmother had. Passing that everyday feels comfortable. In these instances it might be better to take photographs of physical items rather than keep them for the memories.

I could not find my vinegar and lemons are not in season (I have a farm), so I tried using a damp Mr Clean Magic Eraser. I was honestly amazed as except for some dis colorization, it is very clean. I was ready to dump the microwave because there was all sorts of crud in there; so much that I didn’t want to cook…

Granted, the article is a brief introduction to air layering. They say a picture is worth a thousand words... I was in the audience while this lychee tree was air layered. Brian is one of out fruit experts here in Hawaii and this video shows a step-by-step way to air layer.

Decades ago I took an old BBQ empty propane tank, had it purged and then filled it with compressed air. There is an adapter that you can use to fill vehicle tires.

On one of my VOIP numbers I use for testing, the call is answered with an old Bel;l Telephoen recording “The call you are attempting requires a deposit of 25 cents. Please hang up, insert 25 cents and dial again!” Other times I just forward all calls to “Lenny”. Search Youtube for “Lenny Telemarketers”. It is a…

In Maryland I had few kids come by, then I moved into a house in a small development in Georgia. I ran out of candy in the first hour. I thought I had enough candy but counted over 100 kids. I swear they must have brought them in buses. I had to make an emergency run to the grocery store for more overpriced candy. The…

My Sister wanted to grow blueberries here in Hawaii, but she found that they will need some cold days.

My entry into radio started in High School (military academy). The radio club was a good way to continue my electronics background and my need to talk. We rebuilt a carrier current transmitter and built an audio board. As we were an International group of students in the middle of a rural area, we had many listeners…

I was a System Manager for both mainframes and XP rollout on a large scale. I got my start in the early days of computers (Altair, Windows 2 and 3, 95, etc) Although I now have a Windows 10 laptop to use when traveling, I still have two functioning Win7 machines. On one I have ‘hundreds’ or programs and utilities,…

Here is an issue. I have a Win7 desktop (yeah, I use it because I have porobably 100 programs that won’t run under Win10 and no way to upgrade them) and a Win10 laptop. I upgraded my Internet speed to about 250 Mbps but my hardwired speed did not increase. It turns out that both systems have 100Mbps LAN cards in them.…

I hope that all of you have a better time getting an appointment than I did. Here on the Big Island of Hawaii, we are a bit rural. Still, there are multiple places to get an eye exam including Walmart, Costco, eye doctors and my HMO (Kaiser). None of them had appointments sooner than 3 months out. I even crossed the…

I used the same small suitcase for decades. It wasn’t black and didn’t look like every current piece of luggage. That was until Delta decided it was too big (they reduced their size requirements). It went fine one direction, but on the return trip it had to be checked and for a price.

Here in (somewhat) rural Hawaii, things are a bit different. Our Costco is in an industrial area with three entrences. The original two are on either side of the gas pumps. They recently opened the third, which is further to the side of the store and many people do not know about it. Driving is straight in and there…

Ensure that the card are used quickly and are places the recipient goes often. DO NOT HOLD ONTO THEM! Many times a store has sold cards and then announced bankruptcy and people do not (or can not) use the cards before they are worthless. I don’t know if it still happens, but some cards actually lost value as time went…

None of the issues mentioned in the comments really matter, since they won’t ship to me in Hawaii either to a PO Box or physical street address. I can get truck tires and car batteries sent here, heck, for extra money, an Amazon supplier will ship a whole cabin here (assembled of course). ut for earbuds to listen to…

There is a difference between ‘recommended” and “required”. Manufacturers may recommend a higher octane fuel so that they better qualify for emissions tests.

I have two ways to solve the problem.

Ahhh, I don’t get it. Many people in the U.S. have a foreign accent. In factr I dare say that most people in Hawaii have a foreign accent.

This morning it was clear and I was up about 4:00am and saw a couple. Since I live in Hawaii AND it was below 65 outside, I did not stay outside long :-)

“Such a sheltered life...” I went to military school at age 12 (and we had kids as young as 5th grade there). Daily showing was with a few other students in an open shower. The toilets were three next to each other with no wall between. This left nothing to the imagination. The urinal was a trough, typical at county…
