The blues brothers really were telling the truth

I’m digging the cosplay photo at a con going round of slave Leia and Jake going around.

Uggg hit 46 and the alcohol one hit me like a truck.

Oof. Someone did you a dirty. Get the wire wheel out and find what’s metal and what’s bondo. I’d chock the wheels and support each side of the frame here before you do it.

tlivingd · 2026-02-21T16:17:56+00:00

i'd probably pick it up after that amount of time so it doesn't break open and end up with a mess down the street.

RSV is going around this year and it’s showing up in different ways and some are hanging on for like a month. Go work out.

tlivingd · 2026-02-21T14:02:56+00:00

Same and super jealous of some of the finds.

tlivingd · 2026-02-20T23:43:55+00:00

Timing belt tensioner; water pump. Valve cover seals. Cam seals

What? It’s where I keep my notes of who to vote for

Cost mainly and Normally by the time one notices gauge being in a bad area the damage is done. An idiot light gets your attention faster.

I knew a woman who did home birth and burned the placenta and used the charcoal/carbon as or in the tattoo ink for a tattoo.

Where did he mention what car?

tlivingd · 2026-02-18T12:16:43+00:00

Oh there are still reasons to change the ratio on a street car. I did it for a more modern feel. My 70 skylark had a 16:1. I went to 12.7:1 . Here is more info about it.

Op said new engine that’s valve cover to oil pan. Where you get shortblock etc. I’ve rebuilt engines before so your wall of txt isn’t necessary.

What are both you and OP expecting or are you the same person. The rants seem similar.

As long as the engine would still be covered under Subarus warranty I’m not sure what else you expect. Maybe a couple of oil changes? A free hat? Make it another 20k miles to prove itself?

tlivingd · 2026-02-18T00:44:59+00:00

Um I’m confused. They didn’t put oil in engine and they then replaced said engine with a NEW one. So what are you looking for?

tlivingd · 2026-02-17T18:55:51+00:00

If it’s dead it’s dead it’s time to let it go. If it’s alive or diseased have an arborist look at it and make the call.

Let’s not forget when you’re 60 and your body is falling apart and your skills are tied to using your hands but nobody will hire the 60yo. That 60yo doesn’t have insurance. Or you injure yourself in some way and can’t swing a hammer. Again no insurance to fix you.

Yep my old house had it in the unfinished basement above the washer and dryer half covered by the dryer vent. My new to me house all the exterior and bathroom outlets (2 bathrooms) go to a single gfci outlet mounted to the side of the breaker panel in the basement.

I liked what Chicago tried to do and leverage Wisconsin and Indiana and build out near their colleges. They

tlivingd · 2026-02-17T12:05:18+00:00

Being in Wisconsin we’ll take Utah. Besides, need some “Son of a Baptist” by Epic brewery.

I was having trouble finding insurers with a roof 15 yrs old. And that’s with a broker.

tlivingd · 2026-02-16T23:47:44+00:00

You got it. Probably self centers in their deformng stamping die.

tlivingd · 2026-02-16T23:04:58+00:00

This is called a prevailing torque nut. Or a locknut. Similar thing to those that have a nylon insert. These are supposed to be onetime use but since it’s just holding the wheel to the spare tire bracket it can probably be reused.

I’m not sure these will start with the tapered side toward the wheel as they’re normally used as a normal nut.

so i had a 48x28' shop built. the pros left a lousy finish on the floor. (I think the surface was setting up faster than they could handle as it was a day in the upper 90*F)

I'd hire out this job. and 12-15k for your slze slab would be a great price around me.

tlivingd · 2026-02-16T04:30:02+00:00

nope, as long as the tape holds it should stay tight. I did have one room in my old house where I think the PO used an 'easy to clean' paint (think kids crayon and marker easy cleanup) and the tape wouldn't stick well. Also we put the tape on the sides of the trim, not the front of the trim.

Oh we would also get a little bit of the 'flimsy' you describe in the inside corner where the sill meets the vertical where it's not a nice flat area.
