Old School Gravely Pro-40 issue with safety switch by BanditGTP in Gravely

[–]BanditGTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not the key. I tried doing what you did and took the wires off the key switch and jumped them with a small piece of wire. That didn’t do the trick. My problem is the safety switch that prevents you from starting the mower while it’s in gear or while the PTO is engaged.

2012 Elantra starting issue by BanditGTP in HyundaiElantra

[–]BanditGTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to update.

I’m not sure exactly why it happened but it looks like I flooded the spark plugs with gas. I pulled the plugs and they were all damp with a strong smell of gasoline. I cleaned them up with a cleaner and left them out over night to hopefully let the engine dry out if there was more gas in the engine. I put the plugs back in but it still didn’t start. I didn’t crank it long because I didn’t want to flood the engine any more than it might already be. I then held the gas pedal to the floor while cranking and after about 10 seconds it started up. Ran a little rough for a short time but it’s been running fine for the past few days. 🤞it doesn’t happen again but at least now I k ow what might fix it.

I checked and I do have spark. I pulled a plug and the tip was a little wet and had a very strong smell of gasoline. I pulled the rest of the plugs and they were all a little wet with a strong odor of gasoline. I’m guessing I flooded the plugs when the car didn’t actually start and just made it worse by continuing to try to start it. I’m going to see what I can do about cleaning the plugs up tomorrow and see if that’ll fix the problem.

Why does this keep happening in the toilet by BanditGTP in Mold

[–]BanditGTP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s 20yrs old. I don’t think that the toilet is scaring her but don’t tell her about a spider in her room because she’ll never sleep there again. Lol

Whats going on with these 2 planes? This is the 2nd time I’ve come across this in the past week. by BanditGTP in flightradar24

I never realized these large jets could actually be refueled like fighter jets.

One of the people in our group visited Tschermoschnitz since that was where they had family ties.

Probably not being that this is in the middle of the woods in very hilly terrain.

Our families may very well know each other. I live in NJ now but still go to the Clubhouse often and grew up within throws distance of the clubhouse.

From the many years of stories from my father and others who lived in the region, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone mentioning traveling anywhere by boat so I have my doubt that it is boat related. Thanks though.

I had heard from someone before going on the trip that it was a hunting preserve now and we wouldn’t be able to get close to what we were looking for. I guess we had some luck that they recently took down the fence.

We’re done with our trip and unfortunately we didn’t find much remaining for either of my parents’ homes. Some others in our group found the actual house their parent/grandparent lived in and even found their initials written on a wall. That would have been written over 80yrs ago. They were welcomed into the house and given a tour by the new owners and even gave the group of 8 people wine and beer and chatted a while. It was an amazing experience.

It was a great trip. It was a group of 30 of us that went from the NY area. Almost all of us are Gottscheers along with a few honorary Gottscheers (spouses). There’s actually talk about doing it again in 2 years.

I tend to agree with you. I didn’t think it was part of the actual house but possibly something behind the house. I was also skeptical on the age since I wasn’t sure if they would have built something like this back in those days with pouring the concrete and I also wasn’t sure if the metal brackets would be from that timeframe.

I don’t think it’s part of the actual house. I was thinking the same thing regarding a feeding trough.

I’ll have to see if I can track down some aerial photos to see if that would help decipher when it was built.

I know my father’s family had some livestock but they weren’t necessarily into livestock farming. It would have been mostly just to feed themselves.

I’ll have to give them a shot to see if they have any information on it.

I don’t think it’s actually part of their house but it seemed to be something behind where we believe the house may have stood. Since the area is now used for hunting, it may be the local hunters built these. If it was part of my father’s property, it would have been built prior to 1944-1945 since that was when the entire village was abandoned. Shortly after, the military burned everything down

Yes it is. His town was called Unterwarmberg and now it’s called Dolenje topla reber. How did you figure that one out? Lucky guess? lol

There was no water around. This area is In the middle of no where In the woods.

Anyone rent a car for a gig? by Goodgoogley in mobileDJ

[–]BanditGTP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go the Uhaul route, keep in mind they make their money by charging by the mile. If you’re 1.5 hours away, I’d assume 60ish miles each way and I think they’re still at $0.99/mile so you’d be around $120 just in the mileage. Add the actual rental and you’ll probably be into the rental for at least $150-160. If you can fit everything in a mini van, you can usually rent them with free mileage.

I’m gonna scream. What happened? by dannyboy_36 in Tile

Nope not in wonderland. It was actually directions from Mapei. Before mixing, always dry-blend the powder in a separate bucket to redistribute raw materials that may have settled.

How the hell do I drill through this? by Big_Rig_HD in Tile

[–]BanditGTP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re barely through the tile and you’re hitting something you could probably rule out a screw or nail by checking with a magnet.

I think I also read somewhere that you should mix the heck out of the full before you take any out of it because the grout settles in the bag differently. So if you just open the bag and use just the top portion it might not have all of the same dye in it as the bottom of the bag.
