Lynyrd Skynyrd got that one correct... I doubt if there's many Neil Young and Joni Mitchell fans on this forum. The whole Spotify thing was because of Joe Rogan alleged anti vax statements which Rogan already folded on... Anyway I'd rather listen to Southern Rock bands like Skynyrd and ZZ-Top, eff Neil Young

Nics wait time these days
M1152 replied to leo-польд's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
Thank you, I did take MLK day into account but didn't think it would go that far. On 12 Jan dealer said *maybe* on 1/15 so I guess he was being optimistic. He did say there was something *like* 1900 in the queue. Thanks again. -

GOV. MURPHY'S ANTI-GUN BILL PACKAGE FIZZLES AS LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDS
M1152 replied to gunforhire's topic in Gun for Hire
seen it via email, thanks for your ongoing work in this as well. -
And assuming all Costco fuel stations are all built and configured the same they have the long hoses like the old days so you don’t have to get in line according to the side your tank is on in passenger cars. They'll stretch hose across your trunk

Betty White, 'Golden Girls' star, dies at 99

RIP she was one of the great ones... -
You have to do what makes you happy. I purchased ours at Homedepot a few days before Irene hit and luckily Irene blew right by us. HD was a zoo at that time of my purchase. We had to take numbers while HD unloaded them off the trucks. You got your number and waited to be called like at the Deli. I’d installed the original US Carb kit before Sandy hit so we were good to go by then but I knew I’d likely voided the warranty. US Carb had been around a while so I figured if something happened I deal with it then. I installed the first revision of the US Carb kit which has the huge Carb adapter, the new carb adapters are very slim. If you look at old YT videos you’ll see people actually cutting their frames to install the original US Carb adapter so if that don’t void a warranty I don’t know what will. I didn’t have to do that nor would I even considered it. What I had to do was cut the breather tube (see image) to insert a coupler so make up the difference for the added stick-out of the carburetor. Again the new kits US Carb kits resolved that issue with the thinner adapter. If I had it to over again the only thing I would have done different would have purchased the larger Transfer Switch or built my own with a second panel. If you choice was an OEM kit probably not a big deal as with a 3rd party kit. Anyway good luck with your new unit and Happy New Year.

That my point was its probably not a good idea to start disconnecting cabling on a brand new unit right out of box due to possible warranty issues. Personally I prefer the cable mod method but that’s me. I’m not going to debate the following but others I spoke to about the ground issue said it’s much to do about nothing unless your home’s GFI outlets keep tripping while on Gen power. I didn’t see any of that nor have we ever tripped a breaker on the Transfer switch. I’m one of the early adopters of the US Carb Tri-Fuel conversation kits which we used during Sandy without the ground modification and it worked fine. Months later after Sandy we replaced a few ageing Uninterruptible Power Supply Units (UPS) for our computers and home network gear. Later on while exercising the generator as part of routine generator maintenance I noticed the new UPS units would sporadically go into alarm mode. The new UPS units were clearly more sensitive than our older APC UPS units. So in addition to all the internet topics about the grounding the UPS alarm mode problem was another reason for me to pursue the cable mod which ended up fully resolving the UPS units from going into alarm mode so I got a twofer out of the deal. I'm not sure why you’d want a Tri-fuel kit for something specifically designed for Propane? I'm sure you’re correct any mod to the unit would likely ruin the warranty for sure. My guess is the manufacturer *might* have a kit to convert it to Natural Gas since Propane and NG are close but not sure about converting gasoline. I *think* it gasoline to tri-fuel but not a straight Propane unit to Tri-fuel. scratch that I’m wrong, just looked at the specs and see it Dual Fuel Technology. still check to see if NG capable

just to add my 2 cents.. I looked into the neutral thing a few years ago which was discussed here and after seeing a number of YT videos on the subject. I not saying your suggesting it but probably not a good idea to let the electrician do a mod on the generator, chances are it'll will void the warranty. I know I chatted with another member here and posted what I came up with on this this subject here and a few years ago What I did was modify the gen-to-inlet cable. On the generator side of the cable (male end) I relocated the ground wire from the ground connector and doubled it up on the neutral within the plug. The Female side (Inlet box) remains untouched. The end result is when in generator mode the panel's ground and neutral are now routed to the generator’s neutral only removing the need to modify the generator itself. So again by way of the modification the panel's ground and neutral are now terminated to Neutral on generator only. So if for some reason I wanted to run you generator in standalone mode the gen's wiring is untouched. I reached out the the Tech Support people that make my Transfer Switch for the mod info above.

seems none of this stuff ever goes away. The Bill’s sponsor was an undersheriff so I’m guessing he would have been protected from his own law had it passed. You know, rules for thee but not for me -

Using a vacuum cleaner to change the drain plug gasket
M1152 replied to silverado427's topic in General Discussion
Pretty slick but I never found myself in that situation when doing my own oil changes. After a friend recently loaned me his Mityvac Fluid Evacuator for brake bleeding job I liked it some much I purchased my own in the pneumatic model. I use it to siphon out my motor oil in cars and lawn mower so don’t even have to deal with drain plugs any longer. I leave the old oil in the evac and take it to the Eco Center for recycling, clean & easy. -
Missed that one, thanks for clarifying. All I know is china has us by the short hairs thanks to trader Joe and their America last polices. As noted above by Tex if China takes Taiwan in the coming weeks or months a US based plant in the makings isn’t going to do us much good. If anyone needed further proof that we’re screwed Biden he did a 3 - 4 hour zoom call with China's President Xi Jinping last week. During the meeting they never talked about covid so that in itself is very telling. So rest assured when biden and the WH serve up the next self manufactured disaster they will point to the new covid variant. As far as the original topic that's good for Toyota however we can’t use a chip designed for a Toyota Camry Air Bag deployment system in our home’s HVAC systems.
