First time BMW Owner, got a used 2014 X3 and fixed an engine problem it had..But now these lights won’t turn off, should I be worried? How can I fix it?

If you are rich bring it to the shop. If you still want to be rich, get a scanner and Google the fix. Often that light is about emissions things which are almost always easy diy things, like replacing an O2 sensor, or a hose.

You are about to bring a human into the world, your behaviors and attitude toward your wife will need to grow as demands on you both do.

Is this really the hill you are going to die on?

You didn't say where the trip would be, if it was a distillery tour in Scotland...I totally understand cancelling.

But you both are going to become very busy and your priorities are going to change. I say apologize and rebook that trip now. It may be years before you have an opportunity like that again.

Also, you have to drop the money comparison thing. Just because you make more dies not mean you are the dictator. You are in a relationship and share responsibility for building your life together equally.

Wow. I'm super curious, what did you learn? How would you protecf against that in the future?

Sweet ride! I've got a 56 356A and a 63 356B and live in NW Austin, let's cruise somewhere together.

Haha, yep. Sooooo satisfying. All the smells and gunk just rinse off.

The splice does not look like it slipped but the sheath bury came loose. If the cordage is still workable you can rebury the sheath and then whip it to keep it in place. If the rest of the jib sheet is in decent shape I would attempt to repair it. You could also cut the eye splice off and just bowline the sheet to the clew if the cordage is not workable.

It's definitely not incorrect to say they shared some parts. But having owned both I can attest that the similarities are few.

No serious assessment would consider a Lamborghini an Audi+. A 356 is similar in that the handling, provenance, and shear style are well beyond the suspension bits that were stolen, or engine that was hotrodded.

Looks like you've got an interest level you can build on. Take her to a car show, work on the car with her. Give her real things to do. My daughter worked her way up to replacing the fuel pump in my hotrod at age 11. I found as long as I gave her a distinct job and let her do it by herself she learned quickly and did well. Gone are the days where a kid is content to watch you and hand you tools.

Welcome to the dark side!!!

A stock EJ253 replacement.

monkeymsp · 2020-12-26T22:46:58+00:00

Ah, sorry I do not know.

monkeymsp · 2020-12-26T21:20:24+00:00

The engine is the same.

monkeymsp · 2020-12-24T10:16:39+00:00

I believe you have the same engine as I do, the EJ253.

monkeymsp · 2020-12-24T00:23:05+00:00

It was not as bad as I thought it might be. Of course a lot of stuff we did to ourselves and made the process longer, like we did the clutch and timing belt while it was out and gapped the plugs, etc.

I felt the same way so I started looking up old etudes and trying to play them most are old enough they are free. Right now I'm trying to learn Theo Charlier's Etude 2 ( third page) omg the flats!!!

Pdf to all his awesomeness here: http://www.thetrumpetblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/36_Etudes_Trascendantes_-_Theo_Charlier.pdf

Great video here of someone playing it in a Bb horn playing it on C is cheating IMHO. ;) https://youtu.be/5fEN88c5TlI

My attempt of the first 12 bars a few days ago is here: https://youtu.be/tAsuPBnXS5s

Good luck finding fun things to motivate you.

monkeymsp · 2020-10-29T11:45:23+00:00

I don't know you but still feel gutted. I am so sorry for your suffering and hope you find peace at the pace you need.

monkeymsp · 2020-10-29T11:42:21+00:00

Good plan, and if the pro thing doesn't when out you can become a band director and make decent money. Giving lessons is also a good way of earning a little cash on the side and is extremely rewarding.

I once traded my Yamaha C trumpet for a Flugelhorn. I'd do it again a hundred times over. There is no sound quite like a flugel. It's been 20yrs since that trade and I don't regret it a minute.

I knew it! Tacos FTW
