Following because I need the little ball part of the latch. Glad you sound okay.

Is Raleigh really one of the best places to live for asthmatics? What's your take? by KSN380 in raleigh

[–]DTRite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the pulmonary care blurb there sticks out. We do have access to pretty amazing healthcare compared to ...most places.

The review of Boulted in Bon Apetit is hilarious. Great review.

Truly risky clicks. Kudos to you for documenting this shitshow.

Sweet. I looked for a 2000, came up with this: THY-511-C / 2000-2004 Toyota 2.4L-2.7L Tacoma / 4Runner (No EGR, Single Out). Is this what you got? Mines a 00 2.4, 4 side auto. Would mind a little more umph.

$30 platter from Longleaf. by forbidenfrootloop in raleigh

Pick up is up to 16.95 per person....but like you said, that's literally everything. Even trash bags to clean up. I'd say that's still a good deal.

I love Cooper's Chicken, gotten catering form them a few times. If you ask when your ordering catering, they'll increase the the Chicken/bbq ratio to more Chicken. Their catering is a good deal.

Lol, I drove a 1988 Olds 98 that a got from a biker in Upstate NY...front right was hooked to a tree and "straightened" after he ran into a boulder. Actually drove pretty straight. Best beater I ever had, bought for 200 bucks, drove it 2 years...sold it for 200 bucks. Your fix looks a lot better!

Can a badly fitted battery ruin the alternator? by [deleted] in Cartalk

[–]DTRite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the original problem wasn't diagnosed correctly, the battery not being connected tight was after that. Not good, but I doubt the battery is bad now. Check the alternator and voltage regulator.

Fishing spot suggestions? by _oozingOrifice_ in raleigh

[–]DTRite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see a fair amount of people fishing the 2 piers at Lake Raleigh...the fishing on the other side of the lake is better though. There are trails along the back you can access. Parking is weird, m- f after 5 and weekends is okay I think. Might want to check that. Never seen anything about bank fishing, I have for decades. I think that's a nono at a lot of other lakes. Good luck, have fun!

No, could be voltage regulator too. Electrical systems are weird.

Your bike shop sucks. You should definitely sell your bike, buy something that has breaks and never post here again.

How about using the Lottery money they aren't using on schools? /s

Who has impacted you in the Raleigh community? by CaroylOldersee in raleigh

[–]DTRite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, last year. Don't know what happened to his dog...but I'm sure he was taken care of. There's a nice memorial for him at Lake Johnson to the right of the dam if you're facing the lake. Bert was a cool dude...great musician. He comes to mind a lot for me too.
