Thanks, mickey. The car just hit 100K miles, and I don't know if it was running rich, I wouldn't think so since I haven't adjusted anything since we bought it new and my wife has taken it back to the dealer for several oil changes and they seemed to check everything, and of course recommend fixing it. I would like to fix it correctly or at least diagnose it correctly and know for certain what the problem is. Thanks again

Welcome aboard!

Looks like the catalytic converter may be shot on my wife's 2011 Honda Pilot. Got the P420 code on the OBD2, which from my limited understanding denotes that the converter is showing to be functioning below standard efficiency and needs to be replaced or there could be a problem with 1 of the 2 O2 sensors but this is a less likely scenario. Any idea if this is a DIY repair or do I have to find a mechanic or bring it to the dealer? Is there anything else I might be missing? Thanks!

Yep, Chinatown, used to get M-80's, Cherry bombs, Silver Solutes, Ashcans, some real loud stuff. I remember a time my father, a fire department chief, lit off one of those real cherry bombs on a fence post. Back then we had a fence made of wood poles and people often nailed the cut out from a tin can on the pole to keep the rain out. The force of the blast sent a small piece of shrapnel flying and hit my dad right in the ass! He was fine, other than getting yelled at by my mom. We laughed pretty hard.

Here are a few of my old haunts- Mothers on R 23 in Wayne- Saw Yasgur's Farm Stone Pony- Too many shows to remember including Toy Caldewll, The Guess Who, Cat's on a Smooth Surface, Southside Johnny The Chance - Southside Johnny

Maybe a stupid question, but does Manalapan recruit and offer reduced fees for what they perceive as "top talent"?

Jeremiah Johnson at the Warwick Drive in!

Just read there was another shooting at a San Fran UPS?

Thanks Barms, I will definitely give it a try!

Thanks, that is what I have heard! Still up in the air about getting a car, everyone we talk too says use Uber, but I know there are some places they can't go and the taxi drivers give them a hard time.

Will do- thanks for the info.

Heading to PR for a few days with the family, staying outside of Old San Juan. Anyone been there before? Any suggestions on things to do, places to see, places to eat? Or places not to go to?

So sorry for your loss. Our 6 year old Chessie has terminal cancer, we are enjoying every minute we can with her. Don't know any Golden breeders but I would whole heartedly recommend Red Lion kennels in South Hampton NJ for Chesapeake Bay Retrievers!

Welcome aboard- I bought a few plates a while back and they are still going strong! May be the quality of the steel or may be I am a bad shot and just don't hit them that often. Either way going on a couple of years and the plates are still good as new.

This is funny...took me a minute to get it, but it is funny!

So let me get this straight...if you are a minor you won't be charged as an adult for violent crimes so do something really bad and you walk, or at the best serve some minimal amount if time behind bars. If you are an adult you won't have to make bail and will be released based on some mythical algorithm, so you too are out on the street. And now we can keep end stage heroin addicts alive in perpetuity through artificial means such as Narcan... This should end well!

Yea- and then some!

Currently drive a 2004 Toyota Camry, and with 3 kids in private school getting ready for college I don't see much better in my future!

Couple this with the NJ Supreme court ruling that requires an overhaul of the sentencing guidelines for minors that commit violent crimes and I see a big problem on the horizon! http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/01/nj_supreme_court_issues_significant_ruling_on_sentencing_youths.html

I have brought my kids to Range 14 at Ft. Dix when they were 8 and never had a problem. I don't know what the official age is but I have seen many kids there under 10. I got to know a few of the range officers and asked them what he minimum age was and they said as long as the kid can handle the gun and is safe they don't have a problem with them. My son was 7 when we started shooting there.

I have a Stihl FS 76 that I have been running for 20+ years, I have changed the spark plug 2 times, the priming bulb once and just replaced the carburetor ($14 on amazon) this year. I keep my mix clean and add a small amount of stabilizer at the end of every season. I have 3+ acres and need a gas model.

Very impressive and very cool!

Almost lost my brother this way. Back in the 70's on a family vacation in FLA, my father was watching my brother and sister swim at the hotel pool. He was distracted for a few seconds and my brother lost the "bubble" he was wearing and sunk to the bottom of the pool. Next think I knew my dad was giving him CPR, he had completely stopped breathing. Luckily my dad, being a full time fireman actually knew CPR. Ambulance came but he was already breathing by the time they took him to the ER and luckily he was fine. The next year we noticed that the hotel we had stayed at no longer allowed kids!

Thanks- got some as well

Gregg Allman has passed away, definitely a big influence in Southern Rock and a big influence to what I played as a musician and what I listened to growing up. RIP Gregg https://www.yahoo.com/music/gregg-allman-soulful-trailblazer-southern-rock-dies-69-190958624.html
