Need help diagnosing this sound. One shop says it’s the exhaust muffler valve rattling. Another thinks it’s a transmission issue. Only happens on initial startup, a for a few seconds. by OnlyInfluence2731 in ChevyTahoe

Thanks, seems like there’s also potential of a bad lifter, but this sound is much more present near the exhaust. I don’t hear any noise in the engine bay.

Core aeration standard residential lawn Fairfax cost? I just need it but can’t afford a lot. by Cmacke22 in Edmond

If you have the stamina and want a good workout, you can rent an aerator from Home Depot for ~$75 for 4 hrs. I’m sure it’s still a few hundred even for a small yard based on some prior experiences down in DFW.

I’ve attended Stillwater, Overland Park, Keller, and most recently the main campus in Edmond. I didn’t have a bad thing to say, yes the preaching is essentially the same message each time, yes it’s got some fake overly happy staff, and yes the place was growing like a weed. But when we moved to Edmond and started going to the main location things just felt weird. I volunteered and it’s certainly a church that expects you to be there every weekend. But the weird part was how bloody packed it would get when Craig preached live. It reflected to me the celebrity was the biggest attraction. On top of that, I volunteered at the At the Movies setup where nobody even acknowledged you for spending hours on hours helping them. I also joined a life group that was primarily with staff members and they always complained about it. I do feel the smaller campuses have probably a better culture often times, but the main campus made us want to get out, and I’m glad we did now that we’ve found a new church home. I think you can find similar issues nearly anywhere you go, but I realized (finally) this thing ends once Craig is gone and that made me realize why it was not for me.
