Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar System

This product is amazing. I have a 13 year old car which I think is shiny and like new until I used this product. After spraying the show time instant detailer and running the clay bar back and forth, I can see all the dirt comes off. I didn't know the paint has so much dust on it until I use this product. Got it from Amazon.com for $13 bucks when they have the Subscribe and Save deal. Definitely worth the money. My car is now really like new except for minor scratches and dents. :-) Don't forget to wax your car after to protect the paint.

It comes with 2 clay bars but I didn't even used up one yet.

Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe (Lake Buena Vista, FL)

The worst Chinese food.
Don't eat here if you don't have to. We had the Beef Lo Mein, Egg Rolls and Fried Rice. The Lo Mein tasted like old noodle. No other noodles can beat this. Super BAD noodle. I'm very disappointed with the food in Disney in general. Except for the Turkey leg in Magic Kingdom, nothing else taste like what you can have outside of their parks.

Earl of Sandwich (Lake Buena Vista, FL)

Yummy sandwiches.
We got the Original, Hawaiian BBQ and Brownie bites. The Original sandwich and Brownie bites were great but the Hawaiian sandwich was just OK for me. Probably because I was not used to the new taste. The Brownie were like a mini cup cake size but taste like oatmeal raisin cookies. They were really good.

Popeyes (Shreveport, LA)

I was shocked after taking the first bite of the fried chicken here. Not because it was bad. It was because I have never eaten fried chicken this good before.

The crumbs and the skin has the perfect crunchiness that I just forgot that it might be bad for health and keep crunching on the goodness. The meat is so juicy and perfectly marinated.

Since Popeyes are originally from LA, I'm not surprise if other locations ar better than this but for me this is the best fried chicken so far.

Ichiban Buffet (Kissimmee, FL)

This place is well below standard in term of food quality.

First of all, it should be known that it is a Chinese buffet with sushi and NOT a Japanese Buffet.

For the price, it was OK to fill up one's stomach after a long day of playing in Orlando but it would not be a place where I would go to if it was opened in where I live.

Try another place if you can.

Jim's Bar-B-Que (Waskom, TX)

For a BBQ restaurant, their rubs were pretty bad.
We were on the first of the 2 days driving from Dallas to Orlando and before we can get to Shreveport, LA, our 2 year old daughter was hungry (and tired of sitting in the car) so when we see the sign for BBQ, we had to stop and try it out.

Everything (fried fish, curly fries etc...) was good except for the ribs. It was on the dry side and did not have enough flavor. Very disappointed.

Pho 88 (Orlando, FL)

This place is not bad at all.
In fact, it's probably better than lots of Pho shops out there. We tried this place a few years ago and wasn't impressed. But after reading all the recent reviews, we thought we would give it another try. We arrived to Orlando the other day around 6pm after driving 2 days from Texas to Orlando, and got stuck in traffic on 75. We thought about changing plan to eat American fast food and even Chinese food but we decided to still head down to Orlando to eat Pho. Nothing is better than a bowl of Pho after a long day of driving (wait make that 2).

We were not disappointed at all. The Pho was great. Far better than what I remember. We ordered 2 Dac Biet Xe Lua (Extra large) and we glad we did. Our kids were enjoying the food as well. The spring rolls were not bad though I wished they should have used the normal lettuce and mint but that was OK because the peanut sauce was so good.

We also ordered a Ca Phe Sua Da and Che Ba Mau but those were below average.

Their service was great. I wasn't expecting it from a one $ Vietnamese restaurant at all. They even refill water and ask us if everything was ok (twice).

One complaint though, we had to wait for a quite a while for the Pho to come out. I'm spoiled with Pho Bang in Dallas where Pho came out faster than fast food (most of the time).

Husky Liners Custom Molded Floor Mats and Cargo/Trunk Liners

Husky Liners floor mats and cargo liner fit nicely my Toyota Venza.
Things I like about it are: light weight, does not move around and fit like a glove.
There were some little gaps but it's totally understandable.
Another great thing about it is the second floor mat is actually one long piece going from door to door.
This is great especially if you have kids or carry dirty stuff in the trunk.

This is what I think the car manufacturer should use instead of those carpet floor mat and cargo liner.
They come in 3 colors: Tan, Black and Grey. I got the tan color and it looks great.

Product Features
Digitally engineered vehicle specific applications fit the complex contours of your vehicle's carpeted floor space exactly
Easy to install protection that prevents stains and soiling of your carpeted areas and increases your vehicle's resale value
Patented process features hundreds of tiny nibs on reverse side to minimize liner movement
Easily cleaned proprietary rubberized non-slip material resists damage from mud water dirt oil gas and battery acid
Guaranteed not to crack or break for the life of your vehicle and made in the USA.

GE Microwave Oven JE1590 Turntable Problem

GE Microwave Switch WB24X10029

I have this GE Microwave Oven Model JE1590 for about 6 years now and suddently, the turntable wouldn't turn anymore When pressing the "Express" button to heat up food. The light turns on but the turntable wouldn't turn. After doing lot of googling online people talked about the motor problem, control board problem but 1 post from a forum (I can't find the link anymore), the person talked about an upper switch being faulty. I can see the bottom switch but I did not see any switch from looking straight in the top hole where the top hook of the door goes in. But at a close look (look at an angle from the top downward) I can see a switch there.

After carefully opening the cover and took out the switch and tested it, I determined that the switch was faulty. I tested the switch on the bottom (the one that look exactly the same as the one the top and confirmed that. BTW, there are 3 switches total; 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top.

Generic part SW-SECONDARY 28QBP0497

Next step was to order the switch. The manufacture did a really good job to hide the model #. I couldn't find the model # on the switch itself. To determine the switch model #, I did a google search on "GE Microwave JE1590" and a few websites that sells parts pops up.
Most of them selling the exact same switch for $20+ plus shipping. One of them (partstore.com) , however, offer generic for around $7.57 + shipping of $5.95 and Tax. I ordered 2 just in case.

With the new switch, the microwave is working again.
I'm glad I don't have to replace it or call for service.
It could have been a few hundreds instead of just less then $25 with a spare switch.

Original switch part#: WB24X10029
Generic part: SW-SECONDARY 28QBP0497

WARNING:
- Unplug the microwave before you open the cover.
- DO NOT TOUCH any thing other than the switch.
