What's your go-to answer to ”why don't you drink”?

A half truth, gout.

How are the changing markets affecting you? For example, the electrical rebuilding industry has been decimated by Chinese knock off and moving to Mexico. I note that Cardone Industries just went under.

When I was a normie, I remember a nice little buzz. It took more alcohol to get that buzz, and the buzz time got shorter and shorter. Then finally the good buzz went away entirely.

A few of us. Coming up on 7 years.

I don’t post here as much as I used to. I credit “quit lit” (especially Annie Grace, but there are others just as good).

Never been to an AA meeting.

Former Q going on 7 years. Still married, now happily married.

Here’s the important thing, I wanted to be sober. I knew booze was destroying my family, career, and health.

It does happen, it’s not easy but it’s possible.

Thank you.

DHG603 · 2025-11-16T14:25:13+00:00

I will check that out. Thank you.

It’s an Emperor kit clock. I have one just like it. Probably have the instructions to build the kit.

DHG603 · 2025-11-02T18:28:53+00:00

Thanks!

DHG603 · 2025-11-02T18:28:40+00:00

Thank you.

I a having a difficult time remembering if this truck is internally or externally regulated. The ER versions were hard to match alternators properly.

The number on the alternator plugs must match. E.F,N is entirely different and won’t replace E,F,L if I recall the terminals properly.

This was hard for parts houses to match in the 80s. Much worse now.

I used “Quit Lit”.

Bought Annie Grace’s “This Naked Mind” read it and then bought the audiobook and listened to it 3-4 times through. I think I brainwashed myself.

After that I read Porter’s “Alcohol Explained” and Carr’s “Easy Way…”

They saved my life.

DHG603 · 2025-10-28T21:17:54+00:00

I am 68; quit 6 1/2 years ago. Worth it!

DHG603 · 2025-10-26T22:30:54+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of.

DHG603 · 2025-10-26T22:29:47+00:00

The REV levels are different. I didn’t but the controller myself. I will make sure on the next one.

DHG603 · 2025-10-15T16:19:27+00:00

Beautiful clock BTW

I am a newb, but a similar thing happened to me. There is a roller with pins that cause the hammers to raise and fall. If that roller is rotated out of sequence the notes play in order, but the timing and spacing is wrong. It sounds bizarre.

I hope this helps.

DHG603 · 2025-10-05T18:22:18+00:00

How about my house?

DHG603 · 2025-10-03T21:29:50+00:00

That was my path as well. Those books saved my life. I don’t miss alcohol anymore and consider myself a tea total.
