    This might be a question for any licensed electricians in the crowd . . . I am putting in some programmable/automatic timer switches for the summer house, replacing the standard SPST switches that were original.

    Decarb a Mercruiser 7.4 LX MPI

    Just catching up with this thread from a couple of months ago . . . Here is the check sum label . . . both units had the same number, so to me that would mean the same program. The only weird thing is that the number is a hexidecimal number (0-F) and it is unusual not to see a letter in the...

    Boston, MA Area Snowmaggedon 2015 (pics). . .

    Well I think we have rivaled the 'Blizzard of 1978', which paralyzed the region for a couple of weeks. Only difference is that in 1978, it came with 1 storm that lasted a couple of days . . . this time it has been several storms over the past few weeks. I got out yesterday (after snow blowing)...

    Noreaster Juno

    Taking a break from snow blowing . . . got a bit more to finish up this afternoon. The storm has pretty much wound down here, so about 28-30" . . . not too bad . . . the fact that the state issues a driving ban makes the road crew's job a whole lot easier and things get back to normal fairly...
