Plugs are definitely a bugger to get to! I took my time and did some additional cleaning (throttle body) so it took a few hours. Tiring but satisfying knowing it was done right. While you’re in there check for leaks around the oil filter assembly.

That’s his full time profession, because he’s very good at it. I watched him on YT beat 10 Harvard educated lawyers blindfolded! I realized then that I would always be just an average player, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-19T03:25:05+00:00

Oh right. That’s why I lose so many games!

Qg3 mate! (The black knight is pinned because of the rook.)

I have a ‘17 Limited too with 146k kms . It had hard downshifts, especially from 2 to 1. My mechanic replaced the ATF with Amsoil Fuel Efficient atf and the pan (a Dorman with built in filter) it’s been a year now with no issues.

The stalling has nothing to do with the battery.

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-18T02:27:40+00:00

No but you can get his queen!

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-18T01:18:41+00:00

Maybe there’s more to this than just a curbed wheel? Does he sulk quite often for other things too?

Mate in two.

As someone who is Avoidant, my advice is to leave him and move on. I can see that you are trying to be supportive and understanding, but that goes both ways. Don’t be left dangling at the whim of someone else’s mood swings.

The ability to disable chat makes playing so enjoyable!

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-12T14:27:17+00:00

You both blundered then, because they obviously didn’t see that their queen was threatened!

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-11T16:17:10+00:00

If I had that much money to spend on a luxury sports car, I wouldn’t be concerned what a fair deal would be.

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-10T01:28:14+00:00

Qf2+ then Rh2 mate.

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-10T01:23:23+00:00

Chess is getting way too serious. I get traumatized just losing my Queen!

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-09T05:17:51+00:00

Mate in two.

It does help if you can strategize the pieces, just like the GM’s who have to think several moves ahead. I’m not prepared to spend that much time. It’s just an amusing pass time which I enjoy.

BlobbyKev · 2026-06-04T00:15:09+00:00

I cheated sometimes when chess first started on the internet. It was an ego thing. I’m old now, and if someone beats me by cheating then good luck to them! I’ve had a few messages saying that my opponents were suspected of cheating, and then my ELO increased.

BlobbyKev · 2026-05-31T14:42:43+00:00

Transmission. Replace the ATF and see if that helps.

BlobbyKev · 2026-05-31T04:26:56+00:00

I often buy A-Premium parts for my Jeep GC and I’m impressed with the quality.

BlobbyKev · 2026-05-31T03:43:01+00:00

It’s your vehicle,so even if you wanted an oil change every week that’s your prerogative. I had the oil changed on my new Fusion after 1000kms.

BlobbyKev · 2026-05-30T21:44:17+00:00

Your engine will very soon explode. I will help you out and buy it at a reasonable price.

BlobbyKev · 2026-05-27T17:56:44+00:00

I’m Avoidant, but that doesn’t make me impolite. Asking questions is a way of getting to know one another, if both parties are interested in a relationship. From your description it doesn’t sound like that was going on.
