What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I let the sun get lower. It seems to brighten up just before sunset.

 

That is a beautiful tree. As far as I'm concerned, the best colors are brought out in morning or evening. Sometimes an overcast day sets the leaves up just right too.

 

ole that is a stunning tree. We don't see those around here unless it has been planted in someone's yard.

 

brilliant display. thanks for sharing

 

I am in the process of having a changeover in internet service. I had fiberoptic access installed yesterday. I bought the one gig speed. I could have done it even faster, but I am starting on the basic level to see if it is any better. I still have the spectrum line connected but that will go once my phone line is ported over. My grandson is excited about the change. He does online gaming. I was surprised by how simple the switchover process is. No contract is a good thing also. Changed my streaming service also. now have a two-year price lock.

 

Daughter car died … the drama..
I drove Saabs 30 years..
Dad it just won’t start… more tears
Get it towed to house..
Ok dad car been running rough for days..
2 things make Saab not start fuel pump.. no notice
Direct ignition cassette.. got a test one in garage
Took her until today to do it..
literally 4 T25 screws and wire clip
I gave her tools she did it…

guess what car starts…
Darn Dads know something
The cassette old one

 

Nice happy ending to your Saab story

 

The life lesson as her mechanic wanted $150 to do work was key here
You guys can pick on Saabs all ya want.. My turbos always got 32+ mpg.. I never blew a turbo in almost million miles on 5 different cars
Had heated leather seats and a trailer hitch with 5x10 trailer 3500# axle = cheap truck

I remember when my old mechanic said I got to raise my labor rate from $35 to $38 because he was getting older and heating oil increased..

if old Morris (mechanic) was still working I’d still be driving them… he changed a timing chain in 15 minutes.. while I waited

 

Those were decent cars until electrical issues start then they are a nightmare.only problem now is the newest one is 15 years old.

 

Wasn't laughing about your story (that's ) I was laughing about Erics word play!
Never even been near a Saab (unless in a parking lot?) so know nothing about them.

 

No worries Brendy.. I took like that.. think of Saab as Audi but cheaper to fix.. European sports sedan before yuppie and GM ruined them..

Dad hit concrete bridge abutment 55 walked away
I hit moose at 70+ cuts and bruises
Saab stories
Saab snob
Sa a b birch

I liked then because I am not little
Sweden people are in general are larger than most persons of Asian decent

 

So... how was the rabbit taco?

 

We switched from Cox ($120 month) to Lumen fiber ($60 month) a couple years ago. At the same time we canceled cable and strictly streaming now. Need to cut some of the pay streaming services but still saving $100+ a month over Cox. Funny, as Lumen brings the fiber in overhead but all our services are buried. I went a head and buried a 1" conduit and had a string in it to fish it threw it in. He had never done that before so could have gone smother but got it in.
Good luck with your fiber, I think you will like it.

 

Car troubles! Wife said she has been seeing spots under the explorer. I knew it was coming. Some geniuses decided it would be a good idea to burry the water pump under the timing cover. They never go bad right? . I’m glad I stocked up on parts when I had the chance. It’s only a 12 hour job. There were a few years of the MKZ/zephyr that there wasn’t enough clearance to get the front cover off in car. Subframe/power train removal to get to the water pump. I think the book time was like 25 hours for them.

 

I am dreading the same scenario. Especially bad if it starts pizzing into the crank case as well as falling on the ground.
