And where's that? I've looked in PA , MD, NC and SC and haven't found it at any price.

Weller Special Reserve at between $30 and $40 where I am.

If your clubs are 20+ years old and you have not changed the grips , that would be a good upgrade. What you have might be good if your shafts match your swing speed. You can tell if you have trouble getting the ball air born. Work on that short game.

Golf is all about the "game" and by that I mean who you play with. Some of the best times of my life were spent at a private club with 20 or so very good golfers. We played every week end and traveled to tournaments together over the years. If you don't have a "game" you won't en...

Look for a product comparable to Smart Core Pro at Lowes. If DIY having the pad attached is a plus. What's important is the waterproof solid polymer core. Don't put a pad under a product that has pad attached. There's no value in that and it can cause fatigue at the joints in heavy traffic areas. Ha...

I would look at big box stores or local retailers as an alternative.

Find a good/reputable independent mechanic and see what the issues are. 180K is not high milage.

Also need to consider maintenance. This would be my choice.

"I buy German made tools online for quality tools. The brands I've tried are all great quality.

For tools I'm not particular about, Harbor Freight is surprisingly decent and cheap."

+1 The Icon brand is good quality. I also favor Gearwrench when I can find them on sale.

Any "manufacturer recommendation" should be evaluated with a big pile of salt. Most of the time, this is not based on any analysis of the best equipment for the purpose, but on a marketing agreement between the two companies, i.e. vacuum company pays carpet company $X a year to be "re...

6.6 is no different than other fiber materials. The "soft" comes from the denier or "fineness" of the fiber. Dyson is know to be harsh. If your carpet is very thick an upright may give you trouble. I like the Oreck products, but Hoover etc make good products. Focus on the filter ...

I am very familiar with the Coretec and Smartcore products and they are comparable in quality and performance. I am not familiar with the Procore product, but looking at the specifications it should serve your purpose. All of these products will perform well in a residential environment. Their weakn...

Local family crisis centers and children's homes are good choices. Toys for tots through the Marine Corps would work.

I currently support these two. https://semperfifund.org/ and https://www.hfotusa.org/ . Fisher House is also one that I would support.

I would go to a trusted independent shop. My experience with Dealer shops has not been good. I would be surprised if either needs to be replaced.

I might suggest going after long distance running. Give this method a try http://www.jeffgalloway.com/. He would start by walking and progress to Run/Walk. He may find a sense of accomplishment doing a 5/10K Half or Full Marathon. There is a great community out there.

As mentioned earlier Golf is a great game/sport that requires many miles logged walking and carrying a bag. If he likes that and becomes "known" as a golfer it could increase his confidence in other activities. When my son became competitive in golf we mixed in running and weights in his t...

I took the test and passed, but never joined. My DNA results also say I'm 2.7% Neanderthal. I'm just confused.

I would not forecast where my child wants to go to college if at all. Save the money and let the child earn their way to the college of their choice within your budget. Two many variables to make that bet on both the school and the child.

According to Mark Twain, "work is what the body is obliged to do and play is what the body is not obliged to do." I don't think getting paid has anything to do with it.

Your best chance of getting a good match is to replace the bathroom. There should be current material for the newer material.

I would follow the agreement to repay the bonus. It seems a strange agreement to me that a company would prepay for employment. In my world we would put money in a "bank" that would vest and pay out over time.

These can be purchased for around $400 if you're patient and have a coupon. Very high quality.

Keep things off the floor where possible. Wall control for pegboard works great. https://www.wallcontrol.com/ It's galvanized and magnets work on it as well. All you want to know is here https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/index.php

I used on of these for a couple of years with good results. I did have a seam come loose toward the middle of the third year. I did make me be more disciplined about not carrying junk.. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Tablet-Bag/dp/B00DUGZFWY/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3SR49231CW206&ke...

I have a Green Egg, Weber Genesis gas, and a Pit Barrel cooker. The Pit Barrel is my go-to for most every thing including brisket. Great web site and support.

Many years ago Georgia Tech required two classes for all students, Swimming and Aerobics. The Swimming class was actually drown proofing modeled after the Naval Aviator survival training. It was actually taught in the Naval Armory pool on campus. The Aerobics class was modeled after the Army fitness...

Serious golf and customer golf are two different things. Most of the time business golf is played as a team with a A,B,C,D player in each group. There are always plenty of D's to go around. Get a set of used clubs from someone upgrading and take some lessons. I'm an A player and that's how I started...

Most any independent flooring retailer can have a rug made to your dimensions from broadloom (wall to wall) product. This will expand your selection choices.

I recently retired from the corporate environment and spent my career "climbing" the ladder. The advice I gave was that it is acceptable to be content in one's job, however it is dangerous to become complacent. Always work to increase your contribution.

I would go with a Solid Polymer Core (SPC) vinyl product with a pad underneath, not attached. Laminate has its drawbacks, moisture and sound. Wood is great, but cost and moisture can be an issue. A solid core product with a vinyl top is the closest to wood and moisture is a non issue. Look for "...

I have to agree with JoeRetire I personally found absolutely no value in "Crucial Conversations". The book was part of an internal course mandated for all managers by my former employer. It was simply part of the overall MegaCorp "training" nonsense. The course, and the book, was...
