REFLECTIONS

I've posted before about a few different mind maps that I thought were great. So here I go  again. I just like planning I guess. Sometimes I think that maybe that way I won't actually get around to doing it. But most of the time it does help clarify things. Hopefully this will be the final mind map I'll regularly use.  It's free, which is important. It's fairly easy and fun, if you like planning. This video explains its features better than I can,

For a long time I've been having trouble pumping gas in both my cars, Chrysler Concord 2001 and  Toyota Camry 2003.  At first I thought it was the gas stations' fault.  It gradually became worse. I finally tried asking my mechanic. He suggested that it may be a problem with the vent by the gas tank being clogged.  By forcing air through a hose it may become unclogged.  It's not expensive except if a part needs to be replaced. Here's a better explanation: "There's a problem with the Onboard Refueling Vapor Recovery system. As you fill the gas tank, the gas vapors are supposed to be forced thru the carbon canister in the EVAP system before the gas tank is allowed to vent back into the atmosphere. If there's restriction in the ORVR system the gas tank can't vent and this causes the pump to shut off. Have someone check all the hoses in the EVAP system for a restriction. Did you know spider egg sacs can cause this problem? Tester"

I'm eating chicken liver because it's  is a good source of iron, for my low blood iron levels.  Iron supplements cause intestinal irritation for me so I can't take them.  Even Flintstones chewable tablets are too much for me. Besides, I like the way chicken liver tastes. "Ingredients: 4 chicken livers (remove the tough tendons if you’re finicky) 1 tablespoon olive oil Kosher salt  Cook the chicken livers: Heat the oil in a small fry pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the livers and sprinkle with a three finger pinch of salt. Cook until well browned on the bottom, about three minutes. Flip the livers, an cook until well browned on the second side and the pink color is entirely gone in the middle, about three more minutes. If the livers are browning too quickly, turn off the heat and let them finish cooking in the residual heat of the pan. Remove from the pan and  serve." Quoted from Dad Cooks Dinner bog. I found this "recip

I needed information about using the remote control to the speaker upgrade for my new TV.  I could not find it in the papers that came with it. After consulting the site I copied the information I needed. This was just what I needed. I think they make money from advertising somehow. Here's the site: ManualsLib - Makes it easy to find manuals online!
