There is also the issue of competent service personnel. Electrical problems are a great catch all money maker partly due to most folks failure/refusal to understand any thing above sixth grade math and science. Part A malfunctioned, taking out part(s) B through whatever got replaced and did not...
Love my Springfield Mil-Spec but the Bersa Firestorm .45 is my go to EDC. The BP9CC is the dog walker. Saiga 12 for whatever comes down the street along with the SW AR. The M1 for the 30-06 sweetness. Pound rescues and never a Honda because I worked at a dealership. Moto Guzzi Big Blocks and...
Please Jeep Gods, grant us some axles compatible with Eaton TruTrac and Mojave frames across the range. Would a hood with functional and dry air flow be too much of a pile on?
" But I took the time to work the problem logically and think things through. "
Skills that seem to be extremely rare these days. I would also bet my wallet had you let them change the module, they would have discovered the problem, put the module back on the shelf and laughed all the way to...
Your post outlines exactly why I gave up wrenching and went for instructing. I would add there are even "worse" customers in the motorcycle world and flat rate parameters established by the Asian manufacturers. It was not uncommon in the early days of our Industrial Age for there to be a...
The signal is a way of asking permission but most folks believe it an entitlement device. All of this is why I quit teaching Defensive Driving. Women-Spoiled by Daddy, corrupted by Feminism. Teens-No social skills, absentee parents. Men-Aggressive away from home, powder keg looking for a war...
"I have had two in the last week screaming at me was we drove in town. We don't get it, we do not understand what is going on in their heads when they act so foolishly,"
Out of their comfort zone. Covid stressors. No normal sexual activity. Crazy hair day.
From the experience of changing hundreds maybe thousands of tires for greater than 30 years, almost every tire with balance issues started with incorrect balance dot placement. The cheapo Asian brands without dots were the worst and any one's guess as to starting placement on the rim. Every...
I learned to do this 50 years ago to assist backing to a precise stopping point to hitch a trailer and boat. Need to creep a smidge, do it. Amazing how "new" techniques are really a re-hash of the "old". Trail Braking is the art of maximum braking up to the turn in point. As the rate of turn(4...
I make an insect repellent that works very well without DEET. 30 drops of lemon grass/eucalyptus oil, 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (no alcohol mixed in !!) and 2 fl.oz. witch hazel. Some folks cannot tolerate eucalyptus and that may be omitted. Use 30 drops straight lemon grass oil. Can be...
"I believe at this point the only thing that could unite us and save America would be another national catastrophe."
That Oriental Virus could have done it if it was allowed to run it's course, right?
Osama was. The Italian word for left is sinestro and Jesus was said to sit at the right hand of god. Just shows how much our world is controlled by superstition. They even made me change to right hand writing in the third grade (1965) because of it. I still do most things with the left.
Actually, no. The left hand is the sinister one and is used for wiping. Sharia law amputates the thief's right hand as it forces them to eat with the left. Next week's lesson is on easter hats and burkhas.
