she does. what happened was that the door lock actuator went bad on one of the doors, and she didn't know. i've already got a new one in the shop for her...just need for her to find time to drop it off.

i noticed that last weekend at the somerdale walmart.

one of the best reasons to do cash as much as possible. that said....i saw some keep loot stashed in their cars. my friend just had her car rummaged through the other day. they only got a couple bucks of change......but that's something to keep in mind when leaving cash in your vehicle.

i hojnestly have no idea. i want paper statements though. that's part of why i left sun bank years ago. i moved ALL of my business money through them, and the corksuckers tried charging me for paper statements.of course them treating my mother like a jerk one time didn't help. so i removed all of my money from them.

this is part of why i am still receiving paper statements. i've got THEIR own document showing what i got.

was probably a younger guy that didn't realize that parts would fly when a 65mph 80ton train hits them.......

there's a shop in the berlin farmers market. pretty good people there. can't remember the name though an airsoft isn't gonna injure anyone beyond about 4ft. i think someone told me that it's the fact that airsoft uses plastic pellets is why they're legal;

the labor shortage is NOT being caused by covid19. we need to collectively stop letting them get away with this lie.

that's why i'm looking to pay someone at this point. me doing it, i'd be looking at at least a week. i'll catwash perfectly fine. then enjoy the hell outta the first shower in it. but....can't have the bathroom messed up that long with mom there. this'll kinda need to be a 1 day thing....2 days max.

yea she ended that convo with "oh i don't car, do whatever the heck you want". hour later she was fine. it's just gonna hafta go in fast though, due to single bathroom and her not being predictible if ya know what i mean.....

i showed her the pictures....told her what it was...then she went batshiit on me. she doesn't want me to do this. she's trying to tell me that she has no trouble getting in or out....... dam. that unit is showing as 1800 and change from lowes. i was just gonna have the installer do that, and i'd redo the floor myself. the problem we have is that we have only 1 bathroom........

the one i linked comes with three of them that are installed at the time of shower installation

holy hell! talk about close calls!!..

this was one of the ones i was looking at...... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Laurel-Mountain-Almedia-Low-Threshold-White-4-Piece-Alcove-Shower-Kit-Common-30-in-x-60-in-Actual-30-in-x-60-in/1000749378 on one hand i wanna go flush....on the other hand, i feel with how old and shifty this house is i'm better off to stick with the slight lip. were they remodeling the entire bathroom for that price?

thanks man. i was kinda thinking that was the case, but wasn't sure.......was kinda hoping that they had high standards set to put ones business on their recommend list.

you might think that. i'm presuming you just payoff your balance every month so you don't pay interest? that's ok by them. they still make money from the merchants you spend with. if it's any type of rewards card, then they hit the merchants even harder.

i forgot about the exhaust manifolds on these. i've had 2 of those come through my shop in the past 3 or 4 years. i won't touch them. i farm them out since the head generally needs to come off if a stud breaks. in both instances, the customers also opted to replace the timing chains and all related components. i actually have one of those setting out in the parking lot. why? because 3 weeks after they got that one back, someone sugared the fuel tank. it took me longer than it should have to figure it out. partially 'cause i wasn't looking that way. was acting like a computer problem. partly because customer told me to pull the plug and brought me the title. i've got it up n running again, and driven it home a couple times. did what my consience told me to do, and offered to sell it back to her for the cost of the job(she owns a driving school, and is my single biggest customer......and is super cool) she was/is thankful and grateful.

thought just hit me. i'm on lowes website right now looking at these things. they're not horribly expensive. i could even install myself if time weren't an issue.....but i'll need to be paying someone to do it. don't places like lowes and home depot have recommended installers?

my grand pops 71 ford ranch wagon rear door opened both ways like that.

think of it this way with cards. you are essentially asking permission to purchase whatever product it is that you're paying for. what do you think it means when you see "approved" or "authorized" on the screen?

weirdly, when i get customers coming in asking what they should consider for their kid who's just getting a dl.....i tell them a corolla, camry, or accord. those are by far the most dependable cars out there. at least from my experience. if they seem to want awd, then i tell them go for a subaru

took mom shopping last night. milk, canned food and frozen foods were all low.

if you're gonna look into a raptor, stay away from the v6 raptors. yea, they make good power and torque. but they do that with a 3.7L turbo. that is WAY too little engine for WAY too much truck. got one customer who's already had the turbos replaced on his f150 twice. and he's only in the 120k range. i hate it when i gotta say bad stuff about fords or gm's dammit.

i thin toyota had a recall or a tsb on their trucks frames? you should check in to that. that said.....i personally drive an excursion with a v10. awesome truck. i had an expedition before that, but it was a cheapo i bought for cheap, and is pretty rotted. although people will decry the 5.4L as a shit engine, it's actually a very good engine. people complain about spark plug issues. in 35 years turning wrenches, i've only ever dealt with 2. mine wasn't one of them. a lot of people like the gm trucks/suv's with the 4.8/5.3 or the 6.0. while they are very good engines, they are plagued with issues in the DoD system. it depends on the year to give an idea of the most common problem. when that system was first installed, there was an oil pressure bypass that squirted straight up from the bottom of the oil pan onto the crankshaft. this had the effect of washing the bearings dry. not necessarily a good thing. they fixed that, then had problems with lifters collapsing. usually cylinder 1, but #4 is common too. i've got a 2018 tahoe at the shop right now with the cylinder head pulled to replace that banks lifters. soon as that's done, i've got the fire cheifs tahoe setting in the parking lot waiting to pull that cylinder head for the same issue. the dodge's are well......dodges. and their 5.7's with DoD are also prone to issues. usually the control solenoids on those engines. the newer toyota v8's have issues with egr routing, but i think toyota's handling most of those under warranty or a tsb. i'd say to stick with a ford, or a toyota personally.

keep as much cash as you can comfortably afford to keep around. what you might find surprising.....get rid of ALL of your plastic. no debit, no credit cards. buy all you want/need with cash or checks. you'll be shocked at how much more cash you actually have/ yep. i buried myself BAD in cc debt years ago. got rid of them all after that, and pay cash or check for anything. i have more money to deal with now that i don't have to deal with cc bills.
