IF you can work with the yoke separate from the unit, set it in a deep pool of PB Blaster (rather than WD-40) overnight. Tap the yoke with a hammer periodically. Note I said tap, not play whack a mole. You're after a vibration that will help the PB Blaster to wick up the threads of the broken bolt. ...

I am looking into a small diesel generator. AS it will not only be used for emergency, it will also be used to operate a Welder, and needs to be able to power the AC system during the summer. Fortunately for us, our Grid is redundant. We can lose a transformer station and all it will do is lower the...

Since you have the smoker now, try smoking up some pork chops and using that in place of the bacon in your Benedict. Different flavors of smoke will have a huge effect on the outcome. You can also experiment with the Hollandais by blending in different fresh herbs. A savory blend of Sage/Thyme/Marjo...

I can't believe clutches are still the standard on bikes. It seems like the bike would be able to do this better than the rider by now!
