Back in September when I got my tires replaced, the tech told me some of my bushings were bad, and was allowing movement, so my new tires would get worn out. When I asked him which bushings, he...
Busy around this place. Lots of heat, lots of rain and lots of storms. Haven't had this wild of a summer in decades. We have weekly tornado warnings, 4 the one day. There have been piles of...
Re-calibrated the PCM for the new tires using a Hypertech Max Energy programmer. Set up Torque Pro to display GPS Speed and vehicle speed then compared the two against the speedometer. Perfect...
My 12 hours trip to emerg went ok I guess. Lab work and ultrasounds to dispel any clots and I'm on antibiotics. They're working so far as my hand doesn't look so much like Shrek's anymore but...
So I was discharged late yesterday afternoon, no more bleeding and no more blood thinners (duh!). 24 hours and nothing. Still tired from my sleepless nights ordeal but that will eventually get...
Was supposed to get released on Monday but because of another bleed induced by the reintroduction of blood thinners again, no idea when I'll be paroled 😕. And the old lady in the other bed in our...
Remember to celebrate, and remember those who fought, and died.
For my Grandfather, whose birthday it is today, served in WW2, Korean, and Vietnam, whose voice was lost to the father in the...
Combination of yesterday, and today... Friday as I'm watching TV, I hear this crackling noise coming from the closet where my media server lives. As I turn my head to look, I see more light than...
Well, I'm back home now after a night in hell. On Saturday, I was forced to move out of my private room, which I didn't ask for, and into the hallway. Basically I was set up with a bed and...
Get Well @Mooseman !
This Hospital Emergency Room necessity seems to be catching... Three days ago, several hours after coming home from my Son & DIL's afternoon invite to visit them and Eat some...
As much as I tried to avoid it, due to some Prime Days shopping for work, I fell into the rabbit hole at home, and scored some goodies.
For the EXT, got a Four Uncles pneumatic brake bleeder kit...
So you may have noticed I was missing for the last few days. Well, I've been in the hospital and still am. Came on to emergency on Saturday night for internal bleeding. Needed two blood...
Over the weekend rolled passed 12345 in the 2025 Palisade
Pay no mind to the mpg, this thing has a weird way of calculating for that. I average 18-25 depending on traffic on my commute. Not bad...
How not to install an oil filter.
Recently acquired a 2008 TB LS and doing routine maintenance, not knowing any recent history. I've done a bazillion oil changes and never ran into this tight of...
Old battery 5 years old finally gave up the ghost. What should have been a ln easy swap turned into a 3-4 hour ordeal.
The positive battery cable was replaced around 2.5 years ago. Brand new...
Yesterday, we just came back from North Bay from our son's wedding on Saturday. It was in a barn venue which made it really nice. Even though they have been together for 9 years and have already...
Yeah there's a little bit of meat left on the stud, and I did initially consider that option until I saw how the hole in the actuator was keyed. The weight of the door makes it fall when...
Hard to tell but looks to me like there's still enough of the stud left on the door shaft to still work fine with a new actuator. As long as the door moves freely and was not the cause for the...
