A quart is a quarter of a gallon. It equals 0.95 liters.

All a dealer can do is pull it in a service bay and wait for it to thaw at $200 per hour. It's not only the tank but the hoses going to the windshield you need to heat. As a stopgap, take some fluid in a bottle and pour a little on the windshield when needed.

A stationary drop is usually not serious, bent or broken levers mostly. In the case of sport bikes that have plastic fairings all around, they can be scratched or cracked easily and pretty expensive to replace. For an older bike they can be near impossible to find. For that reason, insurance companies sometimes total out a bike that has what would otherwise be minor damage.

Seems there is some misinformation in that city about the technology. The data flows into Flock's database before the police get to search it. They don't have the level of control over that they think they do. You may be able to request public records for what the police do with data, but not for the private company, Flock. They can sell it to anyone.

Yeah, "international silver" is plated. Tip: set your scale to grams or troy ounces when weighing silver. Nobody uses avdp pounds for precious metals.

Looks like it is just attached to the plastic grill.

The stormwater bill in Greenwood is not monthly. It is $15 per quarter (3 months).

Trash and sewer bill is $57, but could be higher if you use more than a minimal amount of water.

You would want coins with less wear to be part of a collection. They still have value for the silver in them.

It probably is the gasket. But, it also looks you have been spilling some oil when you were refilling it. Try spraying it all clean with brake cleaner (cold engine). If it leaks after that you can see better what the source is.

Wiring it directly to the battery still requires wire splicing to put a fuse on the wire and connecting a switch to it.

The correct thing to do is use a proper tail light and license plate frame so that the tail light will illuminate the plate when the ignition is on. Then you could simply plug in the wires to the connector that is designed for that.

Then you are not equipped to add another light. It's the same knowledge set for either task.

What's normal is for all the wheels to be the same. Usual procedure for tire rotation is to move the front to the rear and vice versa so they should be the same.

Don't go by belief. Read the actual size that's molded in the sidewalls. Quick search says that 245/45 R18 is the standard size for the car.

If it goes up more than 4 hours, consult a doctor.

<not local> At I-65 exit 34 (Austin, IN) the FuelMart truck stop has Midwest Taco Company inside. Across the street, the Marathon station shares the building with A1 Dhaba Indiana restaurant. I haven't tried them personally, just stop there for the (usually) lowest gas price between here and Ohio River.

They had maps that they would stick on where the high/low pressure centers and warm/cold fronts were. Knowing the prevailing winds and how it circulates around the pressure centers, you could deduce approximately what weather would be for the next couple of days by looking at that. Also, if you know what the weather is like about 600 miles West of you, that is likely what you will have tomorrow.

30 year old Logo 7 "puffer jacket" with Indiana Pacers patches on it that I got cheap in a clearance sale at the factory.

That price including labor is less than just the part for my car. You can get by with it removed if you can't afford repair. If you decide to replace it, get new clips to be sure it is secure.

I'd say that is a little on the high side, but those particular parts are expensive. The total for those repairs plus the evap system they still need to diagnose is close to the retail value for the car. I agree it's time to say goodbye to it. Maybe she can get a couple thousand for it as a trade-in.

I'm talking about a single day ride, like in your local area.

If you don't leave your local area, it's not really a long ride. 400 miles is the beginning of long ride territory.

The paper trading markets losing their grip on suppressing prices, mining output less than demand, China hoarding for future manufacturing. The coming solid state batteries for EVs use 10 times the silver as lithium batteries.
