    Off topic: Happy fathers day

    All, I am not a father. I just give what I can to the next generation, be it nieces, nephews, or the neighbor kid. I do not want the attention that those that have raised their own. In fact, I'd rather praise and thank those that spent many years and trials making their kid the best. So, in...

    OT slighly,,,economy is up?

    All, I had a bit of time to squander, turned on the tv and watched the Denver 2018 Mecum auction of cars. So far, the cars and trucks are selling really low. Perhaps that is a better indicator of the economy than the folks on the news telling me it is all great. I saw a nice BMW sell for less...

    Bob; only

    Bob, I feel like I should let you know why my post was misinterpreted. I sometimes stutter, but when I type in words, I don't, at least not as much, I am embarrassed but that's what I was dealt. D.

    way off topic: coppertop kid again...

    All, To those that have followed...well I got a call from outta the blue. Turns out that I was called from an employment person, I was named as a reference. This young buck had the nerve to list me as a reference, without the kindness of telling me. I was caught flat-footed at work. Of course...

    detroit diesel experts....

    All, On a 16v92TA series Detroit diesel, back-to-back V8's, there's a small hose in between the heads (both sides). Sure enough, one is leaking. There's about 2 and 1/4 inches between the heads, the hose has two screw gear clamps, and the fittings that are in the head look to be about 3/8 pipe...

    organic..or so..

    All, I've read a lot of what it takes to bring food to my table. Now, I do not condone drinking gasoline, or anything near that, but isn't water, H2O, a chemical? Not trying to trigger a fight, but where do we say everything is made of one chemical or another? Somethings are proven to be...

    frying pan....bearings

    All, I tried to sneak one by on the misses..she caught me red-handed warming up a bearing using her cast skillet, some oil, and the cooktop. Looks like some roses are in her future. Oh, the bearing slid right on, though. D.

    I love it, the neighbors are ina a tractor ride...

    All, A while back this happened: I live in a graveled road and quite rural area. Occasionally, I sawa neighbor sneak past my driveway on an older tractor. It got even better, especially when the driver had a wagon-load of folks and kids on a hayrack with some bales for chairs. We stopped...

    way off topic: coppertop kid

    All, It's been a long time since I've seen this young man, so if you know what I'm talking about, well you've been here a while and your memory is good. I got a visit out of the blue. I've known this buck for a good while. He used to drift in and out like a dried oak leaf as a kid. I am...

    weird rock formation from a field

    All, I got some field-picked rocks locally and after unloading I found a rather ordinary rock with an internal formation. Inside a small hole about an inch across, I saw 2 geometrically shaped "crystals". Each has a nicely shaped pyramid look to it. It's kinda soft, because scratching the dirt...

    Thank you to Jon F maybe? trailer wiring

    All, The idea of using wire nuts for trailer wiring works. I re-wired a trailer brake system years ago using leftover, but good extension cord and wire nuts. Well, I hooked some of the wiring on something, pulling the trailer off road, and when I had to make repairs, the copper and...

    dinosuar no more, threads fro plugs....

    All, I wrote a post about the incredibly difficult to locate spark plug-to compression tester. I am not alone. They make a kit just for my dilemma. A few bucks and I have almost every thread type for spark plugs. That is until "they" try to change again. Compression checks were fine by the...

    I am dinosaur..spark plugs threads...

    All, I have a nice older cylinder compression tester with adapters and an extension hose. It is a complete kit. I tried to perform a test on a suspect cylinder on a nearly 10 year old Honda. Guess what...I do not have the correct sized adapter. It seems I need a 12mm threaded adapter?! I was...

    Nathan SD; red headed neighbor kid...

    Nathan, I saw your post and felt that I had to reply. Yes, the red-headed kid (young man now) still stops by, around once a week or so. He stil seems to need a tad of useful (by my mind) direction every now and then. He seems to want to stop in for a good shoot-the-breeze, fifteen minutes or...

    neighborhood kids and a bit of time....

    All, Yesterday was a fine day. I got a lot done early, so the afternoon was relaxed. So, as I am getting ready to put some rims on a trailer, three neighbor girls walk up the drive. They range from about 7 to 12 years old. (I always ask any neighborhood stray if their parents know where they...

    trailer wiring...black copper at splices...

    All, I absolutely abhor fixing trailer wiring, unless I can do a complete replacement with new stuff. Anyways, I did not get my wish and had to repair some existing wiring for a trailer. I did the usual, find the broken wires, clean the grounds, check suspect splices, etc. As I was going...
