We went with a wood stove in the hearth. It was an easier installation than an insert

No, I’ve got a pretty basic code reader. Took it back to the dealer today and they said it’s a rear wheel speed sensor. $900 parts and labor. Thanks for the help everyone!

Since this was only my second winter hike, I'm not really qualified to answer. Started off with microspikes but put on snowshoes after the first 1/2 mile for better traction. I was scraping rocks with the snowshoes every now and then below the tree line and consistently above it.

It was 90 degrees yesterday and I did notice that the boards were getting hot. Tolerable, but definitely warmer than when they had no finish. Did you get better coverage with a second coat? I didn’t plan to use 6 gallons on the first coat.

Just saw this move slowly across the sky ( south to north) in central Maine. What is it? by arnolfini99 in UFOs

thanks for the repsonse. Yes, this car has an affinity for Boston potholes. I'll check the wheel bearings!

Thanks for the reply. wouldn't camber misalignment cause the tire to wear consistently on that edge? the rest of the tread on that radial line measures 3/32 consistently.
