A neighbor buddy called me this morning with a question? Somebody clipped one of cars and tore the corner on his rubber front bumper. Asked my opinion. I suggested using 5 minute epoxy; then staple on the inside. Anyone ever attempt a repair like this? Haven't seen it yet; but probably will.
We had a Frog Floater come through this week; the A got caught in it; ran through some high water. She said it started missing; and finally died. Drug her home; did some checking: oil still clean; transmission is sealed. I'm guessing water in gas. Noticed engine is dry;no water marks anywhere...
Had to hit the the Grocery Store to get some stuff for T Day. (Daughter gets Turkey;We get the Ham) Store advertised "Buy Ham; get Turkey Free".Had a bunch of both. I found a decent size Ham; seemed pricey;but WTH. Started looking at the Turkeys; a man close was too. He commented He didn't...
Was talking with my daughter about T Day (Food;etc). It seems there is a Bug floating around! It's called FFS. (Fake Flu Syndrome). It usually effects the middle age (30-50); and has some wierd effects. Usually starts on Wednesday; and gets progressively worse. Thursday usually starts with a...
Had a Dr appt today; drove the Admiral's '02 3.8 on the Toll Road. The ride was decent; the 3.8 had more than enough pep.
(Ran it up to 90; was still fairly smooth). She commented "This is close to our T Bird"!
Now the T BIrd had the 5.0 F/I package; and was a rocket. It also rode like floating...
I became a Billionaire last night; (on a computer). When I got this thing it had a Hoyle Casino Icon on it. I opened it up; it had all the Casino games just like the real casinos. I have played this this thing almost 5 years; had 994M and hit the jackpot. A box pops up telling me I exceeded the...
I am hanging some plastic on our patio to engineer a greenhouse for her plants before our freeze tonight. Size approx 5X10; 8' high. Nothing fancy! I found a small bathroom heater my FIL had; was thinking about using it as a heat source instead of lightbulbs. The greenhouse won't be air...
The spoiler on the Admiral's new to her Mustang had some bad flake marks on it. Took it off; got it smoothed and primed Gray. Got a quart of Dark Mineral Gray Metallic paint (PC TK). Sprayed 5 coats on; and it drys a lighter color. Got back with the paint people; they gracelessly gave me another...
Am doing minor repair to the Admiral's '02 Mustang Coupe and need help. On the bucket seats there is a bracket to hold the seat belt. The bracket is loose; the screws need to be tightened. Now the problem! I cannot get the headrest off;(comes up about 2") I can get to the screws with a stubby...
The driver side electric window stopped working. (All the way down). I hear a distinct "click" under the dash somewhere when pushing the button to go up; nothing going down. Tried a shot of alcohol from the top; no help. Anybody got a clue where to start? I have had switch problems on this door...
Saw a post about a water separator somewhere; but could not find it to comment. My question is: is the Fram G2 fuel filter basically a water filter? I have one inline on my outboard that I change yearly.
The blades on the ceiling fan on the back patio have cratered with age.(Cheapo fan;2 blade; 36") Material looks like a hardboard; but not wood. Can anybody suggest a material? Have thought about cheap paneling; but might be too heavy.
