Tonight was sponsered by Guinness. No ice tonight, but other times I do ice the brew.
 
It depends. If you get mail delivered to your door and see the guy/gal everyday you can give him/her a small present (coffee gift card?). In my case I walk out to a multibox mailbox and get mail from there. Barely see him/her, except when I get an occasional oversized package that needs to be delivered to the door. So it would be awkward in my case
 
I just got 2 Starbucks gift cards for my mailmen(we have 2 guys on the route). I receive many packages through out the year and they take a good care of my parcels all the time.
 
My mail comes straight to the front door, but I rarely see the carrier. We usually give a treat type gift we have laying around. (I like to have plenty of store bought candy/cookies type gifty packages around and unassigned for impromptu distribution.)
Today, my wife exclaims that we have to give him something today.

I always give either case or gift cards to DD/Starbucks to my garbagemen , mailman , hairdresser. When I used to live in Manhattan I didnrt have the Gmen or Mailmen but my doorman and super always got $$$ from me. It's just a little sign of gratitude we can show them after a long year of hard work and service to us.
 
I was reading on the K&N engine air filters and our cars.
I've run into some comments saying that the excessive oil will throw off the MAF sensor.

How do I adequately oil the filter without having too much oil to mess up the sensors?

Clean the filter with the K&N recharge kit. Lightly spray the filter with the oil. ONLY till it turns light red...no more.

Be conservative, a little oil goes a long way on those filters. I also dab it with a paper towel to remove excess.
 
I'm wrapping my license plate frame to a gold color.
I have my new heat gun plugged in my bedroom.
Every 3 times I turn off the heat gun, a spark shows.. inside the heat gun. Then I smell a somewhat burnt smell. Is this normal..?
 
If it's a new heat gun, than the smell is normal, it will go away. I just turned off my heat gun(bought at Harbor Freight tools 1 year ago) couple times and it produce the spark inside as well. I guess it's normal, wrapped the whole car and much more with this Heat Gun:smile (2):
 
Yeah I bought my heat gun last night from Walmart... It's a cheap yellow Wagner model

Sent from my SGH-T999 2

Same here. Cheap heat guns do that. Just make sure you unplug it when finished

Great information guys !!! After seeing what GetLuckiFx did with his rear diffuser and Aaron with his interior in the G35 regarding using carbon fiber I have a heat gun on my " Buy List " soon and knowing the above most certainly helps !!! Thank you :smile (2):
