    Update on compressor motor

    From a couple of ealier posts, dealing with a new motor for my air compressor, I took the motor to a Tacoma electric shop, and it was checked out, this morning. The motor was good, but was prewired for 120. The manager switched 2 wires, then showed me where to hook my 3, 240 wires. The service...

    OT CAR RENTAL RANT

    I gotta ask this since no one else is. Why in the future don't you use Budget? They, after all, got you on the road WITHOUT a reservation. If it was me, I'd be using Budget instead of acting like they were a stepchild that you were glad to be shed of as soon as you got the chance.

    OT: Layoff / New Job

    Bob and John, I'm retired out of Local 106 in Iowa. That's real good advice to that young fellow. I went in at 17, served my apprenticeship with some of the greatest people I've ever known. I'm not proficient in everything a carpenter does, but I can still layout buildings, rekey locksets...

    OT: is flash to pass same as dousing lights...

    Walt, know why that is? Years ago in Iowa it meant you'd just passed a hwy. patrol or local yokel--speed trap. California deemed it illegal to warn other drivers what they were driving into.

    Heating a shop

    Larry, if you don't want to use firewood, you may as well bite the bullet and get 1400' of polyethyline pipe for natural gas. It's far cheaper than the electric line you'll need to get the necessary amperage for heat. Also, natural gas is less than half the price compared to propane for the...

    Vapor lock

    You need a less volatile fuel. Todays vehicles have high pressure fuel pumps so fuel from the refinery is more volatile than in the past. Adding a can of 2 cycle oil at a mix of 50/1 should fix your problem and also give that old engine some top cylinder lube.

    Clear Span building question

    My neighbor has one. In Iowa, you'll get about 15 years of life from the fabric, then it'll start to tear at the bottom. He put hay bales around the base to hold it on so when the wind blew rather than having it rip off and sail away. As his was nearly twenty years old when he replaced it, the...

    going thru phoenix?-WATCH OUT!

    Not that simple. DOT set up sensors on I-80 to let you check your speed. When traffic is heavy, the sensors get overloaded and sent out crazy readings. It would flash "49" then "75" then"54" then any number, seemingly at random. DOT removed those units to a less traveled section of I-#%, where...

    I still haven't switched over yet

    We have Dish also with local channels but found there's six more stations that are local that Dish DOESN'T transmit. Tried to argue with Dish about paying for locals and not getting them all, but their attitude is cancel if you don't like it.
