Manual defrost freezer comments?
Published (2009-01-07 17:35:00)
I've gotten really wacky readings in the fridge or freezer with the infra-red device. Keep in mind that the infra-red devices measure the surface temperature. I think for some things, as soon as you open the door, the surface can quickly take on the temperature of the air that rushes in. That could be it, and/or it reads the 'steam' rising off , and I think that will be right around 32F, or you get some combo of those. I could...

I would recommend it. Ha

Rather than start a new thread I decided to revive this nearly-four-years-old thread. Bernstein's new book "A Splendid Exchange" is out, and that reminded me of his earlier book "The Birth of Plenty". Nearly four years ago I added it to my list and, hey, I finally got there. The library copy has been beaten to death, so it seems pretty popular with Hawaii's relatively small audience....

Morning, All - I thought I'd ask you to help me decide on this... I'm helping my brother buy a used car (for under $5000). Yesterday, we saw a 1984 Ford LTD Brougham on sale for $2995. The car is immaculate and only has 35,000 miles. Evidently it was owned by an older couple (the seller said he got it at an estate-like sale from down South). Everything works on it, it has no rust and ...

The recent thread re: "how long do you keep your car" got me thinking. There is certainly not a one-size-fits all answer to the question of how long one should keep a car - as this can be directly related to the cost of repairs as the car ages. It becomes much less cost efficient for someone who can't or won't work on their car to keep it as it ages. I'm certainly no expert mechanic, but ...

Also read the same Consumer Reports Article. IN my local newspaper, "Road show section", (about car things), A person complained it cost almost $ 900 to replace 2 burned out headlights! Labor was $ 200. This number sounded crazy until other writer's verified they had similar cost's replacing the Pirus headlights. Happy new year.
