    MOVING TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

    I plan on leaving south east WI in the next couple months. My car is going with me. It will be about 45 minutes east of Marion IL. My question is, are there any machine shops around that can do engine work? It's more rural than where I am now, so some travel is expected. Any info/comments...

    SAVED FROM DESTRUCTION

    I'll let the title speak. What was saved was a model train set in a warehouse. Better than N&P all the time for me anyway. Businessman Needing a Warehouse Stumbles Upon World’s Largest Train Set—And Refuses to Simply Tear it Down

    What if?

    Ok, this is a new one. I bought a new car about a month ago, and it's the first car with remote start. First time I used it I didn't know I needed the key to be in the ignition and turned to on position; it has to be like that in order to place the shifter into drive or any other spot. Now, the...

    Run flat tires?

    My 13 year old DD, the 05 Impala had to go. The underside was rotted out. If I had a flat tire on the road, I would not be able to jack it up because the lift point was rusted out. So this leads me to the thread name. I bought a new car, Chevy Cruze. This thing came with the run flat tires...

    PC reset

    Reset PC to factory settings. Wow, what a pain in the arse. I have everything backed up/saved on two places, but the pain partcomes from retrieving it all. And reason I reset was cause of corrupted user account which left me unable to download PDF files. I lived with it for several years. And...

    TIRED

    Tired, don't want to rant, but I am tired. Laid off in 2013 cause I didn't want to move to MI. Couldn't find full time permanent work here in this area in my field. Ended up in MI in 2015 at job I would of had in 2013. That job sucked, being there just validated the reasons I didn't go in the...

    INTERESTING DAY

    In some other thread I said I had come back from MI, and was working at a local chain building center store. Well, my 2nd cousin offered me a job at a machine shop his dad and him have.

    RENTERS: NEVER AGAIN LIKE THIS LAST TIME

    People in here now are stinking deadbeats. Substitute the 'f' bomb for stinking. They owe me a lot of money. I made a deal with them on a washer/dryer, patio table and a grill for reduced money they owe. Well I get their revision that the grill was promised to someone before the deal was made to...

    NEW JOB

    Start new job tomorrow. Not the greatest pay, but at the moment I really have no expenses. People renting my house offered me a bedroom, at no cost, even after I offered to change things around. Ok by me, just means I have fewer dollars going out. Save, save, and save some more. I want to have a...

    FURNACE FILTERS

    I moved back to Kenosha, WI early December. Couldn't stay with my sister, mix up there. So where do I go? Tenants in my house commented on how they were behind on the rent, whole 'nother story there. Bear with me. Anyway, I commented I had to scramble to find a place to stay, and the empty...

    Memorial Day Video

    Old one, but I think it's pretty good. Divided at first by service rivalry, but united in the end because of service. Hope you enjoy. Thanks and Happy Memorial Day.

    over zealous moderator

    Don't come here very often any more. Will probably be even less now. When I made a comment in a for sale ad that wasn't inappropriate, yet was removed was pretty sad. Then in the N & P forum this same moderator goes and edits my post because of 'bad lingo' ? And another member drops the same...

    What mobile operating system do you use. Pros/Cons?

    Right there in title. Looking for opinions on either Android, Apple, Windows' Mobile. I've used Windows for years. It has its faults, but it has been improved. Picked up phone with Android, and it just seems to complicated, and unnecessarily so. Android does not seem to have the flexibility to...

    electrical motor wizards

    Picked up an older Craftsman drill press that runs on 110VAC. Stand and everything looks great. Problem is the motor doesn't run, just hear a click when you turn it on. I got it for $20. Friday, I took the belt off the motor and it spins freely and it will run with help, I spin it then turn it...

    Who lives near Troy, MI?

    Reason I ask is if I am offered a job in Troy, I am going to give it serious consideration. I was laid off from my one job of 16 years in early 2013. I was offered a very generous relocation package to there in 2013, but I declined it. I did so thinking that I could find something here where I...

    auto a/c

    I had to replace the condenser on my DD, the 05 Impala. Part of the process of recharging the system said to pull a vacuum. Well, this was a shadetree repair, with me only filling it up with the cans of R134a. The outlet temp gets down to around 60*F, sometimes to 70*. It doesn't stay there at...

No, not pictures, but things like Java, Adobe Player updates, even the Microsoft Scan and Repair Tool from the Microsoft site...

    Challenger ripped in half accident

    Youngstown, Ohio. Looks like a Challenger, or whats left of it. State HP can pull the 'black box' to get information from cars. High rate of speed. Unfortunate for the driver and the family. http://wkbn.com/2015/05/12/accident-rips-car-in-half-on-i-680-in-youngstown/
