Can I get an Amen!

Need to add these to it (from a pre-season game):. :rofl:

If you've never heard of them you're not alone, but they're the parent company for some pretty common names.... Some links: https://www.motortrend.com/news/first-brands-group-auto-parts-supplier-bankruptcy-spells-trouble-for-everyone-who-owns-car-truck-suv...

I’m a commercial HVAC guy (a Service Fitter to be exact), and while I’m not a plumber, I’m not a greenhorn when it comes to plumbing….. Anyway, our new place (we bought it 3 years ago) had a really old water heater, and I replaced it with a sealed combustion unit before we even moved in. Have a...

Part of my job is quoting commercial HVAC repairs and/or replacement equipment, and over two years ago I quoted a new blower wheel and bearings for a 50 ton rooftop unit, as the fan was out of balance and taking the bearings out along with it. And then I quoted it again.... And again...

My boss just bought a ‘67 Formula S Barracuda (link below), and the seller claimed it was “numbers matching”. But I’m finding conflicting information on when Plymouth starting stamping VIN’s into the blocks. Does anyone know for certain if his 273 should have a VIN number stamped into it...

Does this look familiar to anyone? Just curious…. Anyway, I guess he saw it during a road trip last week, and he finalized the deal just last night. He’s going to rent a trailer and haul it home this weekend. And that’s about all I know about it at this point.

I replaced the service door in the shed a few days ago, and while cleaning-up I started applying some of my RA magnets to the inside of it. No particular order… And then I seem to recall reading that someone here had a car that was confused for a Nova, which got me thinking….. Does anyone...

Arianna, We never had the chance to meet, but my wife and I are very good friends with your uncle Steve in St. Paul, and we just got the word….. I am so sorry about the cancer, and I know deep in my heart that Steve would have traded places with you in a heartbeat, he loved you so much. I am...

We bought this place almost exactly 3 years ago in preparation for retirement. Original owner had it built to their Spec, but I don’t think a single damn Contractor knew how to read a Spec, let alone build to it or bother to get an Inspection. Case in point: I’m building out a 24’ x 42’ metal...

@missing linc and @Ahoey (and some others in Winnipeg that have slipped my mind right now): Hope you guys are safe.

Some time ago WD-40 changed their cans, and they went with this adjustable nozzle thingamajig. Why, I don't know. When they first came out I bought a can, but I only got about half way through it before the pressurized gas "fizzed out" on me. In other words, I had a can about half-full of...

My brother's coworker: As far as I know the driver survived (otherwise I wouldn't have posted these), and according to the in-dash camera it appears that he tried to avoid a head-on coming from the other direction.

Normally our dogs stay in our (their) yard, and we never let them out unsupervised, but yesterday afternoon one of them completely disregarded our commands, bolted across across the street and, completely unprovoked, started a fight with another dog. Right now we're weighing our options for the...

I set-up a FB account not too long ago for the sole purpose of buying and selling parts on Marketplace during my impending/upcoming retirement, as CL around here is pretty slow. Currently I only have 4 (or maybe 5) "friends", as I set-up the account under my dog's names (true!), and I've only...

My wife says I have an overly sensitive nose, or sense of smell, as I can smell things she can’t. And since I don’t care for the smell of cigarette smoke in a car I’ve turned down a number of “good deals” because of this (the smell), nor do I want to purchase a car that smells. Am I alone here...

We've been talking with our financial advisor about my impending retirement (which may, or may not happen, on Memorial Day now, but that's a different story), and we're setting up a budget/plan for some big ticket and/or recurring items in the future. For example: * Summer of 2025: Insulate and...

I’ve been thinking of signing up for “The Farmers Dog” for our two pooches, but my wife mentioned we could probably make our own. I guess she has an ex-coworker who used to do this, but she’s not sure if she can reach her any more. We’re going to start digging into this, but I thought I would...

Messing around, cruisin' the interwebs and looking for used John Deere parts this morning, when somehow this popped-up: 1976 Pontiac Gran Prix SJ. And in black, no less! I'm not a GM guy, and I've never owned one of these, but in the back of my mind I've always kinda lusted after one. And...

So over Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's place we all decided that it would be nice for everyone to come to our (new) place for Christmas. And due to the drive time involved for everyone, this would be an overnight thing... No big deal, right? But just now I received a text from my sister...

But who's counting? :lol:

My wife and I had a conference call with both our financial advisor and attorney yesterday, and while I haven't counted the days out (yet!), it looks like I'll be "officially" retiring right around Memorial Day of next year!

This morning I had to use the flashlight feature on my cell phone to get the truck out of the garage (long story), and I placed it on the back bumper.... When I got to the office I noticed I didn't have my phone with me, but I didn't think anything of it, as I've left it at home before...

So I had this earworm song running through my head damn near all weekend, and while I was driving around and mulching leaves yesterday afternoon it finally dawned on me why..... I've been busting my *** working on the house ever since we bought the place 2 years ago, and I'm getting close to...

I actually got this woman to agree to marry me! What she sees in me I'll never know, but I try to earn it each and every day.

What price do y'all see here? \ To me it looks like I can buy this for $383 and some change. But over my lunch break just now I tried to buy it in the store, and they wanted to charge me $419. When I saw the price on the screen at the checkout I said, "Whoa! Hold on a second here. The online...

I can officially retire whenever I feel like it! Or perhaps more correctly, I can afford to retire... Which is kind of a weird feeling.... But I'm at this weird "transitional period" (my term) where I can pull from my finances (over 59-1/2), but I'm too young to go on Medicare, and since I...

I'm replacing the soffits, fascias, and gutters myself on our new (to us) house, and last night, just as it was getting dark, I think I ran into an "issue". Picture of the back of our house taken this past spring below, and do you see those 6x6 (or 8x8?) posts holding the sun room and deck over...

Found on a '92 F250 I recently purchased.... Reason #1: Exhaust shops are too lazy to tighten down the clamps on the silicone AIR tubes running down to the catalytic converter (just fixed myself): Reason #2: Zip ties on the brake line-hose junction : Reason #3: Cable clamps holding the...
