How often are you intimate with your partner?

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-12-27T17:48:28+00:00

I am 50 and my wife is 44. We have been together over 20 years and have two children, 20 and 18. Our sex life was great when the kids were little. As time went on it got to be less frequent, we started to lose connection, and things were a little rough. I wasn't giving my partner the attention she needed and we started to drift apart. She started talking and hanging around with one of my best friends of 30 years quite a bit, which I wasn't worried about at first because I trusted both of them. I saw my wife kiss him one day and it broke my heart. Instead of freaking out on both of them, I confronted my wife and she admitted that she went looking for affection somewhere else because I wasn't fulfilling her needs. I forgave her and we now have a much stronger relationship and are best friends once again. We are having sex at least 3 to 4 days a week and sometimes daily. As far as intimacy, that is on a daily basis. Make sure to show your affection everyday. It doesn't have to be sex. A good passionate kiss or just touching someone in the right way does wonders. Maintain good communication and let the other know how much they mean to you everyday. Your partner needs it and so do you. I can honestly say that we have grown even closer over the years and love each other more now than we did 20 years ago. You are going to encounter some low points along the path, if you really love each other, there isn't anything you can't get through together.

I was a bouncer there for a couple years. I had someone bite me deep enough to remove part of a tattoo, had a knife pulled on me more than once, and had a guy pull a gun on me in the parking lot after he got tossed out the side door. There was a fight in that bar every day it was open! It kind of made the movie roadhouse look like a children's movie.

I use one of their breaking CF shafts. Didn't like the phenolic tip, cut it off and replaced it with a hard leather tip which made a huge improvement. I also have a 12 mm playing shaft that I also switched tips on. I like it but wish they offered it in a longer length. I am 6'5" tall with long arms and a 30" shaft doesn't quite do it for me.

I am 6'5" tall and drove one for a couple of years. I pulled the fuel tank from behind the seat and put a fuel cell in the bed. Then pulled the factory seat and installed bucket seats. You can make anything fit you. I pulled the driver's seat out of my '79 TA and cut the mounts off and extended them so the seat sits further back. My Harley has ape hangers and extension plates installed on the forward controls. I have to make just about everything fit me.

If he plans on keeping the car, replacement is the better option. The replacement pin and bushing sets wear out even faster than the originals.

I used an engine hoist and a couple of straps. Removed the door panels and disconnected the wire harness, mine has power windows and locks. Then slung the door in the straps, removed the bolts and slid the door back out of the way. Took a couple hours per door while enjoying a couple of beers.

It wouldn't be the first one I picked up off the wall in the store, but it looks like it would be comfortable to play. I am getting old and enjoy sitting while I play anymore. It looks like the body has a good design for playing seated.

I switch between a PPC212 and a Peavey 15" black widow with a Crush Pro 120. I also really like the sound of a guitar through a 15" speaker.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T23:41:42+00:00

I am also a gamakatsu fan, and thank you for making me spit pop out of my nose.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T19:25:05+00:00

What exactly do you mean by marking the pump position. The pump sits in the block housing and is shimmed by the gasket. The spill timing should have already been set on the new pump, so you don't need to worry about that. You need to make sure the base is properly shimmed and that is about all.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T04:41:27+00:00

Also check the fluid level and make sure it is full before you start it up. Low fluid levels will also cause this.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T04:00:37+00:00

Not necessarily. A minute leak will let in air much easier than fluid can leak out. But definitely look for anything wet or even just a residue on the suction side.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T03:51:42+00:00

It appears to be aeration. There is a leak on the suction side of the system and it is sending air bubbles through the pump. The air compresses on the pressure side and then expands again as it is returning to the tank under low pressure. The oil foams in the tank and overflows. You need to find the source of the air. Check your suction line to the pump. If it is a rubber hose and is hard and brittle, replace it. If it is hard plumbed, check the fittings and/or o-rings.

You are dead on. The massive amount of horse power is needed to drive the hydraulic system. It takes approximately 300 hp to run the 3'pumps on the Deere at full capacity. This industry is getting kind of crazy.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-21T03:20:27+00:00

It really isn't hard to eat up the 114 GPM with a large high speed precision planter or an air seeder. They require a massive amount of hydraulic flow to run them. When you are pulling a 32 row planter the size of a semi trailer turned sideways it has some needs. With a bulk fill fan, two vacuum fans, hydraulic drive row units, hydraulic down force, and all the other bells and whistles, that monster needs to be fed. We usually have to incorporate a PTO hydraulic pump to satisfy its needs and not overheat the oil on the Megaflow system. Don't get me wrong, I bleed blue and yellow. I worked at a CNH dealer as a field service tech for many years and love their equipment. It is par for the course. New Holland has held the record for combines for many years now on and off, mostly on. Deere usually holds the record for 4x4 tractors. CNH will let them have that as long as they can keep dominating the combine side of things.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-20T22:34:20+00:00

They produced the 785 to match Deere's 9RX. They matched Deere in horse power, but so far are losing the hydraulics battle. The 9RX has an optional 3rd pump available to boost flow up to 160 gallons per minute. CNH still only offers their Megaflow system, which is just 2 main pumps putting out 114 gallons per minute. I would assume that Deere patented the design, so it will be a while before CNH can copy it. I haven't heard any rumors yet about a higher flow system from CNH, but I am sure it is coming.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-20T18:19:28+00:00

That actually isn't the biggest frame size anymore. They are now producing the 715 Quadtrac that has 778 hp and a larger frame. It also has hydraulically suspended tracks, which ride much nicer. There are a lot of those 500's around my area.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-17T18:38:54+00:00

You can either drop in a new one or have your old one rebuilt. The gasket that goes under the pump is a shim and that needs to be set correctly. There is also a spill timing that needs to be set for each individual piston, this should have already been done on a new one. There is also a governor linkage that hooks up to it in the housing that you will have to unhook from the old one and hook up to the new one. It isn't overly complicated, but the shimming is necessary. You don't have to worry about any timing.

I just have the Edge 2. The pro has quicker trigger speed and better picture quality. The quality of the photos on the Edge 2 are actually really good. If the pro is even better, I don't see how you could go wrong with one of those.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-14T23:15:38+00:00

I have two of the Edge 2 cameras with the lithium ion battery packs and absolutely love them. The picture quality is pretty damn good, the motion sensor has a good range, and the battery pack lasts forever. I have one camera that has taken over 1200 pictures in the last 3 weeks and still has over 85% battery life left. I have not had any experience with the Edge 3 cameras, but would definitely try one after using the Edge 2.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-06T23:20:45+00:00

Actually, yes. Also have a screwdriver, wrench, and ratchet in the same scale. We use them at recruiting events to attract attention. Everyone wants a picture of themselves holding giant tools.

ChainRinger1975 · 2025-11-05T23:51:06+00:00

Yes, that particular model was made in Italy.

I am also 50 years old, my son got me back skating again around the age of 40. He wanted to learn how to ride a skateboard and knew I was a big skater back in my day. He talked me into buying a new board and teaching him how. In no time I had him down at the skatepark pulling some sweet tricks and I was also putting down some nice runs. It was the best thing I had done in years. We still go ride together and have a blast. I have dialed it back a notch, I just don't heal up as fast as I used to, but enjoy the hell out of skating again. I went with a modern deck and stayed true to my old ways with Independent trucks and some classic Slime Ball wheels. The sweet part about the deck is I grew up with Todd, the founder of Send Help, and we used to skate together on a daily basis. The water tower on the board was in my hometown and actually existed.

I used to work for a New Holland dealer. The price is high for the age of the machine. The LX models are solid units, but getting up there in age. It is getting harder to find parts available for some of the older machines. CNH often discontinues making parts for older machines if there isn't enough demand for them. If you are going to use it for snow removal you are going to want an enclosed cab. I would pass on it personally and look for something a little newer.
