After I got home, I started searching the Internet for information on this rototiller. It was a Ryobi® 410R tiller. I found a YouTube® video from a guy who was trying to get this tiller to start and run. A perfect video for my purpose. As I was sitting by the dinette table watching the…

Before we started our regular Saturday ritual of grocery shopping, Efiwym, my wife, and I headed back to the estate sale house to pick up the rototiller. Of course, while Efiwym was there she purchased a couple of tomato cages for her garden. The lady reiterated that her father, who now was a small equipment…

Efiwym, my wife loves to go rummaging. It is her passion. Her intention, objective, aim or holy grail of rummaging is to find that great deal. She rarely has a specific item in mind when she goes and visits someone’s garage. She might be looking for clothes for our grandson, or a special item, that…

I had some time after supper to install the Roku® on the TV in the family room. Again, this was nothing new, so the installation should be easy. The only difference with this model was it did not have the voice-controlled remote. It had the power adapter, which according to the instructions, was better than…

It seems we have been having technology issues recently. I could not get the DVR app to load on the Roku© in our bedroom, and now the wireless cable receiver in our bedroom was also acting up. The last several nights when we go to bed and turn on the TV, the cable would freeze…

I had done my research on DVRs. I was satisfied with my choice. I just needed to buy it. Efiwym, my wife, was letting me have the reins on this project, so it was up to me to make the decision. A couple of weekends passed after the antennas were installed so I finally decided…

Installing OTA digital antennas should not be difficult. When the cable company used coaxial cable, I ran coaxial cable throughout the house. I had wires running through cold-air vents to the bedrooms upstairs for cable, telephone and Internet. After we purchased laptops and cell phones, and the cable company switched to wireless receivers these wires…
