Saw Super Troopers two last night and it was great, basically the same stuff as the first one so if you liked that I’m sure you will like this one. Saw it sober so it may be better stoned, lol.

Saw it as well, but sans sobriety. Thought it was a damn good movie. May not have the same staying power as the first but was very fun with enough of the old stuff mixed in with some new comedy. Farva kills it in this one. I loved the first so much I debated not seeing this after the Anchorman 2 debacle, but glad I did.

[Ponyryd]

Thankfully I passed on Anchorman 2, but I agree, this one is a great second coming of the first. Might need to get a little fucked up and go see it again.

Sooooo I'm buying a new cell phone (was using company phone) and starting the job hunt. I don't fuck around, it takes time to find high-level jobs. But I will aim for somewhere a tad closer than 50km... Maybe it's time to get into IT-PM/BA consulting. I was hoping to be PMO before jumping ship but maybe it I need to act faster lol...

He's not into cars, not into music, not really into beer, never did drugs, gets grossed out at farts, can't use a tool to safe his life and probably watches days of our lives as far as I can tell. Super nice guy but I can't stand speaking to him. They spent 3 days at our place once and I was having panic attacks trying to avoid having a chat with him. He's into video games but I'd rather drink beer and work on my car or renovate the house or break something just to fix or break it in the process of trying to improve it (insert Tim Allen grunt). LOL he must feel the same about me but tends to follow me around and talk about gigabytes and PS3's and his daughter's painting and shit I don't care about...

Yes. Even if there's the slightest inclination that something is amiss have it documented prior to the expiration of the warranty. Doesn't hurt to have a tech look it over and verify the vitals before it starts being on your dime.

^Agreed, although realistically if you don’t hear or feel anything I doubt they will, main thing is to have it looked at for leaks, those can get expensive very quickly.

I recently got into it with Ford about an issue on the Mustang that was documented prior to warranty expiration. Basically the moment we clicked past 100,000km, Ford washed their hands of it and said it's your problem now. Pretty unbelievable conversation I had with Ford (of Canada) to be honest.

I deal with this kind of thing in my line of work but with appliances. basically to be blunt the manufactures is only responsible for things up until the warranty ends after that its your baby. no legal of moral obligation falls on them after that time.

if there was a problem that was documented before the warranty expired, then it should have been fixed before the warranty ended

"bud its sunday"

" oh sorry"

well I guess we are up now lol

spent the morning at the local green house that was having their open house today, spent way too much money on flowers that will die the first time we go away and no one waters them
spent the afternoon planting said flowers and opeing the fish pond

then the rest of the aft dewinterizing the trailer

[stangstevers]

Spent the day gutting a fox in a field lol good bumper cover, doors, fenders, wiring, another T5, etc...

[Laffs]

Also supremely tired. Decided this is gonna be the year I get the yard in shape now that most of the major interior reno's are sorted or close to.

Spent yesterday raking the yard of dead and matted grass, blowing and cleaning out the beds of leaves, and general tidying. Today was getting the lawn mower running which was thankfully a matter of fresh gas and a couple pulls (yay I'm adult who can propely winterize yard equipment). Also took the opportunity to sharpen the blade which i have never done before, kind of a cathartic exercise. Cut and bagged the lawn, sprayed the weed killer down before it's dandelion city. Went thru and pruned the heck out of our shrubs to hopefully get them back in order.

Seriously. Gassed.

Half of the DL number is your birth date so it shouldn't be that hard to remember.

Half of the DL number is your birth date so it shouldn't be that hard to remember.....

I don't remember it that way

I think I repeated the # enough times in my head that it kinda comes off like musical notes or something

fwiw....I had a pretty nice 10-speed bike that I bought with paper route money in about 1978 or 1979...all on my own...was expensive for the time...like $350

the serial # was RD134662

bicycle thefts were big back then in my area and I wanted to be able to identify it if someone swiped it and did a repaint

I sold the thing in like 1983....so not sure how the fuck I still remember the serial #

LS swap.

Fun fact that keeps me awake at night. Two or three years after buying my GT I was offered a guys 996 with an LS1 swap for about 8k over what the GT was worth. I declined because 8k was a lot of money at the time and also truthfully I prefer the flat 6 stuff. Would have been real fun though.

Also Hsousa88, aircooled prices are slowly normalizing again. Rare stuff like RS/Turbo/GT cars will never be normal again but I've seen a tonne of impact bumper 911 going for 30-40 again.

Following a recommendation I decided to try Tasty George today for lunch. I will say it's very cheap, $3.50 for 2 beef patties and a pop, but I wasn't very impressed by the patties, meh. Will try something off the menu next time. On the plus side: I found two-fiddy on the side of the sidewalk. Net cost for lunch: $1.

It's a 10 minute walk from my office, and on the way there I passed no less than a dozen "spas". That's not counting the ones on the other side of the road or the second floor windows with simply a neon "open" sign.

2018 is totaled....
ok not really but I curbed a wheel a bit. Im devastated. --leaving a detailing supply store no less
They are gloss black, the metals pretty smooth but it chipped the paint off.
Any recommendations on where to have it professionally repaired? (and idea of cost (Im assuming $100?))

I thought that car was a DD? I’d do as Rick suggested with a brush and some tremclad.

[stangstevers]

Buy some old school curb feelers too lol Or wider tires to protect the wheels...

It’s calmed down here now. Power came back on.

Was hopping to get more done with my week off. But did okay. Both quarters welded on the bird. So it can go back on it’s wheels.

Now finishing pulling everyth8ng out under the hood so o can clean up and paint the subframe and stuff so the fenders and doors can go back on for final fitment.


What have you guys used to clean up greasy old wire harness?

I’m gonna replace any shoddy wiring but some of the harness look okay other then greasy as all get out.

Holy wind Batman

Trees down all over the place in my area. My shed (well 2'x3' rubbermaid shed) and BBQ fell over. Figure it is still windy so that is the mornings problem. Few fences in my townhouse came down too.

[True Blue]

Crazy winds!! My chimney mounted tv antenna came down. My neighbour's 20+ foot spruce tree came down nearly taking out his front porch. My dad's roof lost about 1/4 of the shingles. Lots of roofs and fences damaged in the area.

Yikes, hope everyone is ok.

I take the harness apart by removing tape and looms. Then use soft plastic brush and a solvent (forgot the name, I think Castrol in a purple 4L bottle, it’s sort of like spray nine). Then use a contact cleaner for electronics on the connections... helps to have a compressor with an air gun too.

Then apply 3M friction tape and new loom...

Some of those killer cleaners are very caustic n will cause long term damage if not fully removed. We lean towards using brake cleans for that kinda job. Yes way more expensive but easy on plastic connectors and wire covering itself.

Pickup my stuff eat a shitty lunch at Arby's and then get lost after looking for a good gas station.
Then spent an hour in line at the border, I don't think I have ever waited that long on a regular sat.
Declared my stuff went into pay, as I'm leaving the girl runs out and stops me and asks me to come back inside, I get worried and she said I over charged you have a look... $631.77 rather then 31.77... wow glad I didn't leave. Took another half hour to resolve. (At least she was cute)

Took the 05 out for a quick drive today as it looked like rain (and I needed to turn it around in the garage)
went to Mr Lube where I did my last e-test (2 min from my house) to see if they could check readiness monitors before I go in for my test this year. They couldnt...

As Im walking out to the parking lot I see two guys talking about my car and saying they liked it, it made me proud, I got in and watched the eyes follow once they heard it drive away,
as I drove down Appleby I realized they didn't hear the blower so I stomped on it in second and wound it out going down the street sideways (3 lanes of no cars mind you)

I had a smile all the way home and made me realize that we do have cool cars and am appreciative of what I have and the opportunities that have been given to me.
I also realized the car would be way more fun to drive if it had longer gears and more traction.

I really would love to be inside someones brain during certain though processes. Today some tried to start one of the trucks, of course they had the wrong key and it wouldn't do anything when turned. So instead of taking a step back or asking someone they decide to crank that key like it owes them money. So now I have a truck with a broken key in the ignition that won't start and another truck with no key because it's broken off in another truck.

That sounds like a few of the labourers where I work. Terms like "don't have the good sense god gave a goose" or "sharp as a bowling ball" come to mind. A couple of our topkicks are finicky to get started, takes some jiggling to get it to turn. I'd suggest labelling the keys but we have a labelled peg board with unit number key chains and people still have issues.

Managed to break my ankle yesterday. Stepped out of a truck into a hole and rolled it over. Knew from the bad initial pain it wasn't good. Got a sweet air cast and should be OK in 4 weeks apparently.

Sump pumps are a worthwhile investment, my carpet sucked up 90% of the water, the rest found its way to the drain in my maintenance room.

Looks like the will start by cutting out the first 6” of the drywall (from ground level) one complete wall, partial ceiling, and another partial wall.

I have one, but want to go overkill with two 1/2 hp pumps on dedicated drains and a battery backup with alarm.

If you're going to cut the drywall out like that use a circular saw with a diamond blade set to 1/2" depth. If you run it along a straight edge you can then get a flush cut that you can cover with 6.5" or higher baseboard vs having to patch and mud.

I can understand a one time Amber alert, ok fine. But not 3 loud blasting alerts. First alert in English, 30min later second alert in French. Third alert the kid was found (thankfully so) I have my 5yr old home today from school because she is sick. Now she's scared as fuck of that loud sound when my phone goes off. The third alert woke my sleeping 20 month old baby from 25ft away!


EDIT: I found how to disable the Amber alert alarm in my phone settings, thank you Google!
All phones (in your text message settings) should have the feature to silence the alarm and/or vibration, this way just the Amber alert message is displayed, nothing else.

[IanGTCS]

Good idea. After the ice storm the power was out so long a lot of people had their batteries run dry.

Family relation had one, worked great until the pump itself sprung a leak when they were out of town. They loved having it up until that point though. Although I think they have one again now as a just in case.

I work with quite a few people on their own wells. All now have small generators handy to run their sump pumps just in case. That is another good option, you can get a small generator for not that much.

Dealing with insurance shit is a headache. Standing your ground and being all over them is the only way to ensure a reasonable outcome.

I just got done throwing in a new 1/3 hp pump in my sump pit. I now have a 1/2 hp submersible at base of pit and the new unit set to kick on if the water level rises another 4". Going to get a UPS for them tomorrow, however I'll probably end up throwing this recepticle on a transfer switch for the genny.

[Laffs]

I'm likewise a sump pump saddled homeowner. 3 times in the last year I've been home or arrived just in time to avert a flood. Storm, rain, wind, power outage. I grabbed 3 of the battery back-up units used by my computers and kept the flood at bay for the 4-5 hours of crisis.

I'm debating gutting one of these units and hooking up a couple of car batteries instead of the small scooter size battery in the case.

I've had a DC second pump that was inadequate. I also had a failure of the check valve splitting the two pumps into one discharge.

I'm in favor of one good quality A/C pump with an inverter/battery back up.

My neighbor's new place has a water powered back up pump (uses city water pressure to spin the pump). He got flooded on the occasion I used my batteries.

I have each pump with its only check valve, then they wye in to the main discharge out of the house.

[Laffs]

Appreciate the insights. My pedestal pump float is clear the side of the pit as is the tether switch on the secondary pump. Going to continue to test every couple months to verify. The check valve stuff sucks. I hate how a $20 part failure can inflict so much damage, which is why I bought spares. May end up putting in a water powered back up pump.

I'm a big fan of overkill.

Well...my advice is...just BUY the Fucking thing!!! LOL

If it turns out your a pussy and it's too loud for you...I have a set of SLP II muffs you can try out in your catback to see the difference :)

Good advice.. I'm ok with the sound, the flowmaster 10's on there now are plenty loud. I just think the tails look weird on a fox.

Well...I'd admit, I nice 2.5" slash cut suites these cars better...however that being said...I've definitely seen worse out there on a fox as well...

Removing broken fence post manually is such a joy. Not to mention that the cement they poured in is huge like a light post base.
Digging is one thing, getting that 300 pound cement is another, no wonder the fence contractor quit

Something about these trucks I just love. I know I'd probably hate the ride and cheap shit interior but would ya just look at it, can probably survive a tornado.

LOL.

Do you have full coverage on that truck?
Liability only.
Liability only...Well, it's a very pretty truck.

Finally got my power steering pulley changed after fighting with it for days, tool was the issue I believe I bought a cheap kit off Amazon and the part that rests against the pump shaft literally lathed itself while turning and the shavings went in the threads of the tool making the torque required to turn much higher.
Was quite the surprise to see the amount of metal missing but no damage to the pump shaft.
Ordered a new installer from Amazon as the old one was trashed, it arrived last night but the thread pitch was wrong.
Have up went to Canadian tire and bought a 3rd kit.
I was able to put the new pulley on with 2 fingers.

Pulley sliding on that easily is not a good sign.
