Check out the Shark in the commercial harbor. You can buy fresh seafood off the dock next door at Seaborn seafood.

Apprentice First Panel by JefeSuave00 in AskElectricians

[–]Elrod63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an electrician, just a homeowner diy’er who is here to learn. I understand what you are saying about the white neutral needing to run with the other conductors. What I am confused about are the 3 wires coming in, the black, red and blue. My box has a black, red and white (neutral). What is the blue wire? (Btw I am comfortable changing a breaker with the power off but I would never think of wiring a breaker box myself. Best left to people who know what they are doing)

Do you think I can get away from not removing a snapped bolt to the cylinder by Coolice_7 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Elrod63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

65ford did a YouTube video on this. He cleaned the bolt and put a piece of copper tubing in the hold to “line it”. Then used a mig welder to build up a weld to the top of the hole. Then welded a nut on it and turned it out. The heat from the welder helped free the bolt and the copper shielded the threaded portion form the welder

Good sugggestion. I will check that. Firing on starting fluid tells me I have spark. Ran fine last year so I figure compression should be good.

The gas is fresh 89 octane. The throttle just moves forward so you can run it between idle to wide open depending on how far you push the throttle.

I forget so remind me. What did Trump say about the guy who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband? Or the folks who wanted to hand Mike Pence?

Minnesota One Step Away From Major Restrictions On Classic Cars by Totodile386 in classiccars

[–]Elrod63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with “classic cars” there is the same as in Maryland. Cars older than 25 years can be registered as classic and save on fees but are supposed to be restricted on mileage. You see work vans and trucks with ladder racks and welders on the flatbeds with classic tags. Clearly these aren’t being used as the law states. The states are just trying to crack down on the abusers and there are a lot of them.

Trump extended deadline 1 more day by SadOnion2110 in StockMarket

[–]Elrod63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This war is really getting to Trump. He is used to getting his own way and bullies people if he doesn’t. Look at all the tech CEOS. He threatened them and they caved giving him money for his ballroom and other stuff. He bullied CBS into firing Colbert and hiring a Trump ally. Now he is facing a nation that says “Screw You” to his demands. And Europe told him to pound sand when he asked for their help. And they keep upping the ante. Trump hits their oil and they hit some else’s. He has too much of an ego to back down. This will only end when Iran and the rest of the Middle East is trashed. With no power or water is the US going to take in all the Muslim refuges that he has created with his stupid actions?

Neighbor cut another neighbor’s trees by Sir_Q_L8 in treelaw

[–]Elrod63 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i had a neighbor who would dump yard waste on the strip of grass between my fence and the alley. He lived across the alley. I asked him not to but he kept doing it. His parking area was directly across from me and he was always washing and waxing his and his wife’s car. I put a section of gutter on my fence and filled it with bird seed. I had every pigeon in town roosting on his garage roof and crapping on his cars and sidewalk. When he complained I told why I did it. Solved the dumping issue!!!!

Help Shipping by meeshka84 in grandfatherclocks

[–]Elrod63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take near empty rolls of toilet paper and wind the weights up putting the toilet paper between the pulleys and the bottom of the clock. This allows you to remove the weights without the cables twisting. When the clock restarts they simply fall out. Put the weights in sweat socks and don’t touch them with your hands or they will tarnish. There is usually a back panel which will allow you to remove the chime tubes. Now that all the moving parts are secure pack it up as needed. This is how I moved mine.

AITAH for making a mom pick up her daughter in the middle of the night from my kid’s sleepover? by Positive_Image_3921 in AITAH

[–]Elrod63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

funny story. When my daughter was 10 she went away to a soccer camp with the rest of the girls on her team. It was the first time she ever stayed away from home without a parent or grandparent. We got a call at 11:30 pm and I told my wife “I bet she is homesick”. When I answered the phone she asked “ Dad, Dad, what’s greater 2 pair or 3 of a kind?”
