OP, sorry for the loss of your dog. It’s always a miserable punch to the heart. We’ve always had several pets so we’re no strangers at the vets office. It does seem that vets today are more reliant on tests ($$$) than going on a gut feeling or intuition. For example, two years ago we took our...

Owners manual calls for valves to be adjusted at the 600 hour mark. Thought I would attempt this myself but not sure of the procedure. Specifically, knowing when the cylinder is at TDC. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Thank you! It was a long term project. Still have a vacuum 2-speed rear end to install if I ever get around to it.

I really like old dump trucks! This one has a flathead V8(100hp) and a crash box 4 speed. About the only thing it hauls these days is me with a big grin on my face.

Gotta love the old trucks! That truck deserves better than to be wasting away in a gravel pit. Do you recall the manufacturer of the dump body?

The tag on the glove box door says 12,500 GVW and the truck weighs about 5300lbs.

A little bigger and newer than a Model A. Took several years to restore but was a fun project. Driving it is like stepping back in time.

We just can't catch a break from the rain here in Pa. We get one nice day then 4 or 5 days of rain. I can't use the lawn tractor for mowing most areas of my yard and even the push mower is questionable. Irritating but not near as bad as what those in the midwest are going thru.

Hello and Merry Christmas to all of you. Very nice day today as it was sunny and in the mid 60's. I could get used to these mild winters real quick! I haven't been around the forum much lately and it is good to see most of the regulars are still here. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I can't upload pics either. Tried from my macbook and no go???

Question for you guys versed in the HVAC realm. First, my system is totally electric forced air with heat pump and air handler. Is it normal for my 16 seer(sp?) heat pump to run when the outside temp is below zero? I thought that these things were only good down to about 32˚ or so and then the...

Good morning! Just brought the dogs in from their morning routine and it is -13˚ out there - dang it is cold! Hopefully Buppies can forecast a warming trend for the NE soon. Be careful everyone and have a good week.

We have Anthem but haven't heard anything from them yet. Hope that is a good sign but I may still freeze my credit report with the big 3. Frustrating to say the least.

Good morning all! What a mess out there this morning. Yesterday we got about 6" of snow till about 3pm. I plowed the drive but left about a half inch of snow on it. Then it turned to rain overnight. Now it is 18˚ and my drive has about 1.5" of solid ice on it. I guess I'll go throw some sand...

Good morning! Light snow falling and temp is 28˚. Calling for 4 to 8" of snow with some rain thrown in for good measure. I have a nice fire going in the wood stove and have no particular place I have to go. I love days like these. Be well and enjoy the Super Bowl.
