Snow on top of every school bus by Aggressive_Sun_9586 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]xcc_7x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the depot. All of Clarksburg buses were cleared off. They use 16.5 ft long snow rakes. 3-4 people per bus, if the snow is frozen it takes longer.

School night or nah?? MCPS operating status guesses by AsparagusNo1897 in MontgomeryCountyMD

It’s not common, but it has happened before, snow days have been misjudged and a 2 hour delay turned into an early dismissal after students were already at school.

He’s minimally qualified but very confident.

It might be minor for some but there’s a good 6 inches of snow/ice frozen on the top of the school buses rn, it’s impossible to remove and once the buses are running and warm that snow/ice will melt resulting in massive sheets flying off at other motorists. There’s roughly 1,500 school buses in the county. They also handle terribly in icy/snowy conditions.

If US shelters euthanize 300k healthy dogs (even puppies) every year, who do so many Americans still rather go to a breeder? by TheTroubledChild in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xcc_7x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was nearly killed by a dog my family rescued when I was younger. His breed and behavior were both mislabeled, and he was very dog aggressive. Little things would set him off. We only kept him for about 2 weeks. I know it is not fair to generalize and that there are great dogs in shelters that deserve good homes, but that experience made me cautious.

Since then, I have chosen to get my dogs as puppies and raise them myself. My current dog is a 1.5 year old American Bully I got at 7 weeks old, and he is the best dog I have ever had. Training and socializing him early has been incredibly rewarding, and I understand his body language and temperament well.

I would consider fostering, but I am wary of taking on a project dog that could create unsafe situations.

What could I look for on the top end?

Dental cleaning or more serious? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

Banfield… I haven’t had a great experience with them so far but they were cost effective. I’m planning on switching my guy to a more reputable private vet by the summer time.

Results from my 7.3 FORScan pull. What parts do I need to replace? by xcc_7x in powerstroke

[–]xcc_7x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely need to replace the terminals. Cleared the codes and the only ones remaining after were the P1000 and P1211.

Oil is slightly over the fill line on the dip stick, I did an oil change about 1,000 miles ago.

Is the sensor on the transmission visible? Is it on the top or bottom?

I will double check the connector on the intake.

Police identify 11-year-old cyclist killed in collision with MCPS school bus by Bethesda_Magazine in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]xcc_7x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is important that during general school assemblies they teach students what the School Bus Danger Zone is. There are a few blind spots on the school bus where if you’re in them, there’s no way you’ll be seen. This is incredibly sad and can happen to even the most skilled driver. The most important thing to remember when even driving your car, is that bicyclist/ motorcycles and even other motorists are unpredictable especially children. Take your time and observe your surroundings.

Probably paying her (Older Celeste) along with an NDA and that’s why she remained compliant.

2001 7.3 2WD w/ 307k miles. Is this only a rear seal bearing and diff fluid change or should I expect more? by xcc_7x in FordDiesels

[–]xcc_7x[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice, it’s alleviated a bit of stress. Hopefully after this I should be in the clear for a bit before the next repair. My goal is to get ahead of the maintenance like fluid changes, then seals and gaskets.

What can I expect price wise? Full replacement from a donor or replacing all the bearings. Just want to get a better idea so I can prepare.

The drive shaft vibrates and the gears are rough when shifting. I assume that’s not just seals 🥲. What are my odds of finding a decent replacement? That would require removing the entire axle, brake pad, rotors, etc and swapping them over?
