Now he tells me! It's temporary but we have 5 vehicles, all 4x4 and an average engine displacement over 5L.

Things must be worse than I realized for some of you if McDs is even in consideration. Even as a kid in the early 90s I knew their was something weird about their beef...less a taste and more texture maybe, but when I bite into it and look at the bitten edge it just doesn't look right. That...

In Oklahoma they have a separate charge specifically for that, called Actual Physical Control or APC. I always thought it was BS because I only ever heard it used against people who were actually trying to do the right thing and NOT drive, but they still had their keys and were in a position...

I usually find ways to use it or they go in the trash bin but a couple times a year I end up with so much of it that they've just got to go. In that case, the waste transfer station has some recycling receptacles for things like paper, cardboard, etc and they go there (free to city residents but...

Good news. I managed to get it pretty much flat to the top (other than 30 year old torn up sofa) by taking out all the cardboard boxes that various things had come in and weren't broken down. Those all fit in my pickup and can be dropped off for free as long as nobody checks my ID and sees I...

it's about $25. Way less than another rolloff rental! but also much less convenient.

Finished out the trim (the parts I was doing) this weekend. Painters are here caulking right now. :ROFLMAO: My 10 year old assembled the vanity completely solo. Mixing and matching styles a bit here with the base cap/panel molding/chair rail combined with craftsman casings but happy...

The performance improvement from more oxygen doesn't affect the mixture though (unless you're spending a lot of time in open loop), so it's just letting you burn more fuel because you can get more air. I suspect the less aerodynamic a vehicle is, the larger impact the air density is likely to...

No. Octane rating is solely to resist pre-ignition, has no impact on the fuels energy content. I usually get better mpg with 85, but not because of the fuel, it's because if I'm using 85 I'm at ~5000 feet or higher and the air density reduces the aero drag.

My grandpa was a radioman in the Navy on the Sarasota in ww2. If he did anything particularly heroic it's lost to history because he didn't like to talk about it, so most of what I know is what I can find on the internet. One story I know about was having to go search the wreckage for survivors...

Oh boy. Now I'm gonna be telling people I'm the reason Novak started offering stock thread pitch on their shifters every chance I get! 🤣

I'm just giving you a hard time. I was up there over Thanksgiving and saw several places along the front range where gas was about equal to what it is here, which is historically among the lowest in the country. Monument and north COS are always lower than the surrounding areas, and I've noticed...

Sams club price is cheating 😉 Idk if a new pipeline got built and lowered the transport cost or what, but gas (85) in CO has been consistently 25-50 cents higher than the 87 in OK for my entire life until this year, when it's suddenly comparable if not a little less. Our Sam's club is at 1.979...

Fair enough, I can see why it makes sense from your end. As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. 🤣 If no one else has mentioned it it's probably not worth the hassle. I looked into buying a factory lever on eBay but seemed like they were all seized where the upper and lower half...

Looks like I'm getting an opportunity to learn something new, haha. Trim bid came in a bit higher than I had budgeted so I'm gonna let him do the base and the tedious stuff like door and window casing and closet shelving and I'm gonna do the extras. Wife wants wainscoting in the big room and a...
