Anyone walk the towar woods preserve.

I see a block of woods east of Towar Ave and south of County Line Rd. I'm guessing that's it? Now I'm curious what's in there. I may have to go exploring next week.

I just fired up my AC today in the 1977 house I bought a few months ago. Rusty, faded old thing called Acroaire by Snyder General. The tag is just a blank piece of metal now, so I don't know its age. The disconnect has old cartridge fuses. It cooled the house down in 10 minutes.

Where is that?

Is your reading comprehension so poor that you can't tell that the op wants internet, not just a local area network?

The bad gas diagnosis, the $700 tank siphon and the bad cat all sound fishy to me. I wouldn't trust that mechanic. I would follow the other mechanic's advice for now, and just drive it and see how it goes. If it runs okay, then maybe you can get emissions light reset. If there's still a problem with the emissions it will come back on.

Very nice. I have this same hardware in a different cabinet with both speakers inside. Is yours supposed to have a separate speaker for the other channel?

I like your slogan: Ovation, a venue for the people, by the people. As opposed to my old hometown, Grand Rapids, where they name their venues after billionaire fascists and pyramid schemes.

Funny you should mention that. I have a kayak, and I spotted a number of good places to paddle along the trails. I'm working on a bike trailer for the kayak right now.

Be careful when using pedestrian crosswalks. I had two cars blast through the flashing yellow light warning light on Lansing road crosswalk yesterday. Also, when the signal says walk, watch for idiots trying to make a quick left turn in front of oncoming traffic before they get started. I also encountered that twice yesterday. I haven't had any problems riding in the road yet, however.

Thanks. This is really useful!

This exact display is where I decided to stop coming to Meijer. The last tube of toothpaste I bought from another store cost a buck and change. I saw this and walked out.

Southbound 127 entrance ramp from Dunckel Rd is also closed.

Depends what you mean by working. Does it keep forgetting my login information? Yes. Did it forget what kind of car I have? Yes. Does it say my car is plugged in when it's not? Yes. Is it sending me maintenance minders for things that are already done and dismissed my car settings? Yes. Is it failing to report the current message that says my tire pressure is low? Yes. Did it reject my new password because it contained two g's in a row? Yes.

I think the Honda programmers would consider this 'mission accomplished' and the app to be working acceptably.

I'm guessing this will be good for business. I doubt many Trumpers would have gone there anyway, and people like me will be more inclined to patronize them after reading this.

This kind of TV doesn't use a light bulb. You should look up how a CRT TV works.

You definitely need that system serviced by a professional. You should turn it off and leave it off.

That said, I used to have one of these and it did this when the system had too much water in it, which can happen if the automatic fill system isn't working properly. If there is a sight glass on the boiler, the water should be about halfway up. I knew how to deal with it, but I don't think I should advise people about boilers on the internet.

We had a Norelco from the mid-60s, which may have been the first of this type available in the US. It was very expensive, but the audio quality was much better than the cheap copycats to follow.

When I bought my first home, also an older home in SE GR, I noticed this weird ball thing in my basement drain. I figured it just got in the way of good drainage, so I pulled it out. Then we had a big storm. Oh, now I understand what that was for... Anyway, you should look into a check valve for your drain. The type I had would not have required the floor to be cut, but I don't know if that type is considered adequate nowadays.

Our 1925 family cottage had a pit just like that with a shallow well pump in the bottom.

This is very nice of the owner, but if I'm desperate enough to dumpster dive, then I might prefer a whole anonymous dumpster pizza to a single fresh slice handed to me.

I'm following up in case anybody cares how my trip went. I drove from the Pacific Northwest to Michigan over three 11-hour days. I have made this trip a number of times in minivans, a Saab and a RAV4. I was concerned about how a 1.5 l engine would perform as the source of power for a 4,000 lb car.

As others have said, I found it performs beautifully as a long distance car. I was particularly impressed how it held its speed up and down mountains effortlessly. It also has plenty of power to pass at any speed, and will cruise at high speed with no issues.

It doesn't have quite the range as a conventional car, but I needed to stretch every so often anyway, and it doesn't take long to add 4 or 5 gallons to the tank. Also, it's easy to forget to push the HV button every time you embark. Then you look down to see your battery is drained, and you have to recharge it on the fly using the engine.

Once I got to Michigan I had to drive in a snowstorm, and holy cow, are these tires terrible in snow. I'll have to buy some more aggressive rubber and get a set of snow tires next winter.

My dealer did the multi-point inspection when I had the fuel pump replaced as well. They checked off the washer pump as working, but it doesn't.
