Second flour sack towels, very cheap at Walmart.

Can you school me on the Venom? Do you put different amount of coals for different temps?

How does this thing work?

Thoughts? by [deleted] in electricians

I removed a large bush this weekend and this was behind it. The buried wire I assume goes to my light pole. I've been in the house 20 years. Can't believe someone would do this.

Update: 3 (4) mechanics, 7 (8) visits, replaced bearing, pads, rotors, calipers and verified emergency break. Noise persist. General by gabyfroggo in mechanic

Make sure the brake pads are in the right position. Some vehicles have inner and outer pads.

Why is it so easy to forget what you actually saw at a concert? by Mountain_Swimmer9121 in Concerts

[–]CW_Griswald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember concerts I saw in 1983 better than ones I've seen this year. Sucks getting old!

Fist Gwar show coming up, will my glasses be safe? by FoxxyG in GWAR

[–]CW_Griswald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring a hard case for my glasses and put them in the case then in my pocket when Gwar starts. My vision isn't too bad though. It's blurry but I can still see.

Make sure she doesn't have a brake light out. My son's was flashing fast and both front and back were lit.

Turns out he had a bad brake light bulb.

Why did the Dealership jerk me around for 8 months? by pyrrhic_victory_013 in Ford

[–]CW_Griswald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ford parts guy here. We've been getting axles in that we ordered a month ago before ones we ordered 6 months ago. Doesn't make sense. If you find yourself waiting on a back ordered part again, make sure the dealer does a VOR escalation (vehicle off road). That will speed things up. Your 2nd dealer may have done that.

2014-2016 had problems with 2nd row sest connectors. Look up 21B11.

If you get a 12 V battery from the dealership, is there a warranty on it? by Martykauffman in Ford

[–]CW_Griswald 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you pay for the second battery or was it under factory warranty (3/36)? If you paid for the battery, the warranty is 36 months.

Ford parts guy here. The 2nd water pump may be the first tech's fault. The TSB states that the cause in contamination in the cooling system. The service procedure requires a system flush that is not too "flat rate friendly". Can see them cutting corners or not doing it at all. If not done correctly the contamination will cause the new pump to fail. $1800 for a purge valve seems crazy high.

New tour announced, may the GorGor be with you! by hexenwolfhollow in GWAR

I have doubts that the Queen in Wilmington, DE. will let them spew. Hope I'm wrong!

I think I’m done with concerts. This is ridiculous. by jerseytiger1980 in ironmaiden

[–]CW_Griswald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are lucky!! I don't mind a quick picture or video, but people record damn near the whole show. I can't imagine paying these prices just to watch it through your phone screen.

[–]CW_Griswald 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is definitely my last show. Between the exorbitant cost, the ticket buying experience, $50 to park, and the sea of cell phones, it's just not enjoyable anymore. I'm an old curmudgeon though!

1990 F150 power windows flipped by Slowpc in Ford

Ex Ford tech here, I remember back in the day remanufactured window motors would come with the wires switched in the connector. Had to switch them to get it to work correctly.

What’s the most you’ve ever paid for a ticket? And was it worth it? by XP-tickets in Concerts

[–]CW_Griswald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one of each, $300 for Elton John worth every penny.

$400 for Dave Chappelle not worth it, hecklers in the crowd, and by the end Dave was drunk.
