A 1991 Honda Civic is old enough to be considered a classic. Even though a '91 Civic may be a classic car, that doesn’t mean you want it to smell or look like an old dusty car. Over the course of 20 or more years, dust and debris gets into the air vents and can create a musty smell or leave a heavy dust buildup. The best way to clean the vents is to remove them, clean the vent system, wash the vents and replace them all.
Fireplace inserts are a type of stove that’s designed to fit inside a fireplace. Most inserts use the fireplace flue for venting, although modifications are needed to seal the firebox from room air, because the insert is smaller than the opening in the fireplace.

The best time to relocate your daffodils is in the spring, after the blooms have disappeared and the foliage begins to turn brown. As with any flower grown from a bulb, even after the flowers die, the green foliage is feeding the bulb, charging it up for next year's bloom. Moving the plant while the foliage is still green poses a risk for next year's flowers. If you can't wait until the foliage has turned brown, try to allow the plant eight weeks after the flowers have died before relocating it. If you must do it sooner, replant immediately after…

Trenchers are machines used to create straight or curved trenches 4 inches wide, and up to 36 inches deep. They are used in areas where the soil is hard, or where longer trenches are required. Trenchers are designed so the user operates the machine from behind, guiding it as it moves backward. When working on wet ground, the trencher's wheels easily slip. Installing boards for the wheels to rest upon during operation help the trencher maintain grip, as well as stop the ground on either side of the trench from being broken up.

The earliest versions of the Mauser model 1898 rifle were manufactured with straight bolt handles, a common feature on many military rifles of the period. By 1935, when the Mauser Kar98k ("Karabiner 98 kurz," or carbine 98 short) was accepted as the service rifle of the German army, all Mauser rifles featured what collectors now call a curved bolt, or a bolt with a turned-down handle. The Kar98k's curved bolt made the weapon more comfortable to carry and improved the operation of the bolt, which allowed soldiers to load and fire their weapons more rapidly.

Some experts favor natural over artificial bait since fish look for movement, which natural bait provides. One drawback to natural bait is its cost and short lifespan. Sea worms are a great source of natural fishing bait that can be found readily on beaches during low tide. Digging your own sea worms can be a rewarding experience; you save money and get to spend a lot of time walking beaches at a leisurely pace while enjoying the ocean.
Summertime and gnats seem to go together. Whether they are called gnats, blackflies or midges in your part of the world, they are the same tiny, flying nuisance.

Because of its length and the wide rim at the base of the cartridge, the .357 Magnum is considered unreliable in the feeding mechanisms of semi-automatic pistols. Consequently, use of the .357 round has been generally limited to six-shot revolvers such as…

It's called "riding the hook" when your boat's anchor is well deployed and set and you're enjoying a lazy day on the water. When playtime's over and you have to move, you have to "heave around" on the anchor and pull it up, either mechanically with a winch, or by such force as you may exert with your arms and back.
Bimini tops provide shade and protection from light rain and from the sun, but they should not be up when the boat is trailered, or in rough weather. The stress from the force can cause the top to tear loose. This can ruin the top, and possibly cause damage to the boat. Instead bimini tops should be securely lashed, or removed and stowed.

The .223 Remington is the most widely used center-fire rifle cartridge in the world. Originally developed to shoot 55-grain bullets, it can handle bullets ranging in weight from 40 to 90 grains, including the Sierra 65 grain bullet. The Sierra 65 grain needs a faster twist rate (The distance traveled in the barrel in which the bullet makes a complete revolution) than the original 55 grain bullet to obtain maximum stability, so a 1:9 twist rate, or faster, is recommended--one complete revolution for every 9 inches of travel within the barrel).
Four-wheelers (aka quads or ATVs) are built much like their two-wheeled dirtbike and motorcycle cousins, so all the same basic operating principles apply. Many ATVs have old-style manual transmissions, meaning that you as a rider are responsible for controlling gear range and modulating the clutch. Shifting a quad isn't particularly difficult; it requires more practice than any real skill. The transmission has three basic positions: neutral (the center position), engage first/downshift (the lower position) and up-shift (the top position).

If you’re not up to the job or hassle of maintaining a lawn, you might consider installing an artificial turf, such as AstroTurf. The synthetic carpet is designed to withstand the elements day in and day out. While it looks like grass, it doesn’t need all the maintenance that a real grass lawn requires.
Surf perch are found all along the Oregon and Washington coasts. They move in schools, feeding along rocky shorelines and jetties, and these are the best places to fish for them. They feed on many forms of sea life, including shrimp, clams, piling or kelp worms, and small crustaceans. The average size of a surf perch is eight to 10 inches long, and half that width across the body from back to belly. Sand shrimp and clam necks are the most successful baits for catching them.
Even the most predictable horses can sometimes spook and take off with a rider. And, unfortunately, some horses become barn sour and run away just to get home faster.

At sea, flags are used for visual signaling nationality, organizational membership or messages taken from the International Code of Signals. The national flag is known as the ensign and the burgee, usually triangular, indicates membership in a boating organization. Etiquette for their display is fixed by custom and usage, rather than regulation. Flag etiquette uses certain terms: the "hoist" of a flag is its height and the "fly" of a flag its horizontal length. The "field," or ground, is the main body of the flag and the "union," or canton, is the upper-left quadrant.
