    That's what I've seen too. The plug in obd AFM disablers like rottiman got seem to work just fine, but a tuner seems to be the preferred method.

    You can do a lot more with the tuner vs. the disabler. Like anything, the more you want to play the more you are going to pay.

    How about doing a swing out shelf like this. It is 3" in depth and still leaves the majority of cabinet as shelf space for the bigger stuff. Mine is only 1 shelf high, but you could make it the entire cabinet height if you wanted (although the stuff at the top might be tough to get to).

    I spent about two hours yesterday morning clearing around the burn pile area for the FD inspection. The worst part was pulling grape vines that are at surface level covered in leaves.

    The FD stopped over and gave the thumbs up to burn. The saws and fuel were away from the pile, leaves were cleared about 50' around. It was a bit breezy, so the fire was not in a column so much, but blowing around. I got about as much done as I could. Today there is a cold breeze again, so I will probably do work project inside.

    The MS 170 was running great in the small stuff until it caught some vines and threw the chain off the bar. The guide teeth got nicked on the sprocket again, so a little file time is in order.

    German potato casserole is on the menu this evening. Maybe homemade soup canned from last November for lunch.

    That sounds good. I think I am making soup for lunch. campinspecter is headed out for another load of firewood before it starts raining here. He is itching to try out the new saw. Husqvarna 439

    I think it is bookkeeping and cleaning the computer room for me. I am procrastinating cleaning the sewing room although the prospect is better now that I finally got WiFi down there. Our WiFi extender died so I bought a more powerful one. It finally can get past all the copper piping in the house and my shelves loaded with fabric.

    You could leave it the way it is and use it as a panic room in case things really get bad in society. That way, you don't have to clean it up! Sounds like almost nothing can get in there! :rofl: :lol:

    Well the joke in the family is that I have to tell someone if I go in there in case I go missing. Sort of like filing a flight plan or sail plan.

    I'm gonna get some more stacking done today. Stack next years ash, then get back to moving the oak out into the sun.

    Smaller splits of oak read just under 20% moisture, and the larger ones just under 22% A summer top covered out in the sun and wind should fix that.

    My wife and I watched our church service on-line. Today we plan on cleaning and organizing our kitchen pantry, eating some good food, taking a walk, playing some board games with our boys, and enjoying a fire in the hearth this evening...it is cold and windy here today. We are not retired and are pretty busy on the weekends so this slow down in life is like jumping off a hamster wheel, meaning we need a schedule to keep up with a daily routine.

    I have some small stuff and brush to cut up, so I will fire up the husky 240 soon. It mostly just sits, but always seems to start and run well for smaller jobs around the yard. I also have a MS 170 fishingpol and would prefer to grab it before the 240 for small jobs, but the 170 one lives at the cabin.

    Just learned the sad news that Italy's death toll was close to 800 today which surpassed yesterday's total over 600. My parents (both 79) live about 6 blocks away, I am going to assess their needs today, drop off some supplies on their doorstep and see them through the storm door. I don't think we can go into see them because our middle son living with us has cold symptoms. It is likely not covid 19, but I don't think we can bee too careful at this stage and with their ages.

    Then, we have some guests showing up that want to take a peek at the truck. :handshake:

    Yup stroking the trailblazers ego today:rofl: :lol:

    New pan with drain, new filter and new full synthetic oil.

    I was shocked at the 190,000 some odd miles and zero shavings in the old pan! Very clean magnet! Just some sludge.

    There are a couple goodies across the road where we'll be cutting at the next GTG that you might be interested in too. They've been there for many, many moons. We find all sorts of goodies. Remember what we found last year and Kevin took it to East Jordan and got it running too.

    Was surprised to find that now I can't get a haircut. Seems our governor has shut down all barber shops, hair salons, tatoo parlors, etc. I've had short hair since about 1952 but looks like I might be having long hair soon. Dang, it about drives me nuts too but hopefully I'll get used to it or maybe buy some sheep shears.
