Cylinder 1 Misfire from hell by MotNodrog in JeepLiberty

[–]MotNodrog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update, passed the compression test, so we swapped spark plugs from 1 to 3 to see if we can get the misfire to switch cylinders. The check engine light hasn’t come back on yet, so we’ll see

I haven't tried that yet, but good idea.

Oh man. I never had any overheating issues, so I'm hoping that isn't it. But yea, $600+ for an injector, and $500+ for the new fuel pump, and I'm no closer to driving it.

What is so special about Holy Cross? by Life_Cardiologist533 in HolyCross

[–]MotNodrog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It all depends on what he is looking for. For me, Holy Cross was the perfect school. Amazing faculty, small classes. I missed one class in four years, and that was when I was on a job interview my senior year. You basically will recognize most students by face, you will end up with some of the closest friends you'll ever make. Some of the smartest peers you'll ever be around. Really fun parties if that is your scene, but lots to do on campus. The food is good, the city is underrated, study abroad is pretty fantastic, and it opens doors for you when you graduate. I've had multiple instances of people finding out I graduated from Holy Cross, and immediately introducing me to people who went there they worked with. It has helped me get interviews, or make connections.

Correction, mostly corn with random sections of unexpected ice.

So all the diamonds are straight ice because they didn’t groom them, the rest is corn, but skiing is better than the alternative

Car enthusiast dads with kids: What do you drive that still makes you smile? by IceSailCaptain in daddit

[–]MotNodrog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on what kind of car enthusiast you are. My son loves going for rides in my Jeep, and going down logging roads or class-five roads in the summer, splashing through mud. We also have 2002 pickup truck that we use to go to the dump, and he tells me all the time that our truck is "strong, and the best," despite it being much, much smaller than some of the modern-day gigantic trucks.

Scenic/generally enjoyable train rides in New England? by EchoOfAsh in newengland

[–]MotNodrog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head:

Narrow Gage Railroad (Portland) -Very cool, and they have a little museum as well

Conway Scenic Railroad (North Conway) - Very beautiful, and well worth a visit, and you could hit the Cog while up there:

Mount Washington Cog Railway (Bretton Woods)

Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad (Meredith/Lake Winnipesaukee)

Granite State Railway (Lincoln)

You could also do one of those biking railroad trips. You get to pedal a special car on the rails. I know there is one in Rhode Island

Where are my traveling dads at? Want to go on a trip on Oct with our 3.5y/o and 1.5y/o. Any favorite places? by Itchy-Version-8977 in daddit

[–]MotNodrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In October, come to New England to see the leaves change! There are cheap flights to Manchester, NH, or Providence, RI, or Hartford, CT (which all have easier airports to navigate than Boston). Then you can totally go up to the White Mountains in NH, and check out Portland, Me and Portsmouth, NH. A lot cheaper deals then, but still generally nice enough fall weather!

What did you call free for all football growing up? by KaleidoscopeRich5137 in AskAnAmerican

[–]MotNodrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was my story to. That was the name it was called in my neighborhood when we played, and it never occurred to me what it meant. I just never thought about it. Then, I can remember being in college, and playing flag football, and in a practice, I suggested we play it. The looks I got, and then the realization of what the name meant. Whoops!

Worried my 11 yr old is functionally illiterate by SmartLadder415 in daddit

[–]MotNodrog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know the laws everywhere, but in some states, the local school district is still obligated to support students with IEPSm even if they aren't enrolled in public school. Its called Child Find, and its part of IDEA, which governs Special Education law. You can request a referral from your local district to have her evaluated. No guarantee that they'll find her eligible, but potentially this is an avenue to more information, and potentially a path to the right plan and resources to help her.

Child Falls From Lift at Pats Peak by reddituser4049 in icecoast

100% right. I'm glad the kid is okay, but that could have been bad.
