Our 2005 Toyota Corolla had its engine cooling system filled with pink Toyota SLLC (Super Long Life Coolant) at the factory that doesn’t need to be replaced for ten years or 100,000 miles. For some extra peace of mind, I decided to change out most of the coolant by draining and refilling the radiator after just 6 years and 85,000 miles. For my complete guide, click on the text link or thumbnail image below.

Rather than try to buy parts to fix one little problem on a toilet with a water leak, I purchased the Fluidmaster Complete Repair Kit at Home Depot for about $20. I figured that it would make more sense to replace all of the old parts in the toilet tank rather than just the flapper valve that is currently causing a problem.

Anaeho’omalu or “A-Bay” was just one of the beautiful beaches that we visited during our stay on the Big Island of Hawaii. This stretch of golden brown sand is located on the Kona side of the Big Island on the Kohala Coast. This picturesque beach is definitely a great place for swimming or sunbathing, but we found better snorkeling at other beaches in the area. For more, click on the text link or thumbnail image below.
