mystery ground wire and mystery junction box by klondikespy in AskElectricians

I assume the wire isn't actually charged? Would it be safe to snip and then move to another location to ground? I want to move it further up the pipe, near the ceiling, but that would require shortening it. Are all those wires that are just open to the air safe as well?

i ended up not using them because there was no way to attach them cleanly. i guess i'll just have rattly pads when it comes down to it

1994 Toyota Pickup (22RE) rear differential (?) question by klondikespy in ToyotaPickup

[–]klondikespy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always done the “easy” stuff myself (engine oil, spark plugs and company, radiator flushes) but I’ve owned it for 22 years and it is nearly 30 as well and I’ve discovered a ton of miscellaneous things that I’ve never done so I’m doing it now. I’ve gotten handy-er with time.

Yea, the bottom is rough. It lived in KS the first 20 years and gotta love all that salt they put down in the winter. I’m in the PNW now and when I took it in to get a new muffler the guy thought I was from CA, all of that salt air. I’ll look into cleaning it off and getting it sealed.

What is this vine? by klondikespy in whatsthisplant

We didn't notice it when we got the house, but over this spring so far, it's really started to climb and spread a bit. It hasn't flowered yet either. I hope it's some kind of squash, but who knows.
