  1. Well, since you are feeling better, could you get me a beer when you go to the kitchen? Thanks. Nomination for post of the year. Get well soon.
  2. This is a good test on a mercruiser mpi motor. If the tach doesn't move when you crank the starter you probably have a crank position sensor circuit problem. I imagine it's the same on most modern efi motors.
  3. Is there a schrader valve to check fuel pressure? Fuel pressure gauges are cheap at autozone. If you have a timing light you can check for spark by hooking it to any sparkplug wire and watching for it to flash. If you try the starting fluid thing be very careful, some cars have plastic intake parts that can be damaged if it ignites in the intake.
  4. Have you changed the timing belt on schedule? Lets hope it's not that. James

  6. Your wife is an airline pilot making good money, ok with you skydiving for a living, sounds like you got "the hot chick"
  7. Need some help here... What does DD stand for? Dumb Democrat? ...It's just a question... I think he was refering to DreamDancer aka Freefalldolphin.
  8. There's down the road from me with the back end cut off and moved forward about 15 feet with the space converted to a flat bed to haul the toys.
  9. I'm too tired to look it up now, but I seem to recall some court rulings that there's a certain zone (I don't remember how it's defined) near, but not necessarily at, the border, where immigration checks are tolerated, basically as a second line of defense against illegal immigrants (and smugglers? not sure) who manage to get past the first line of defense at the border. (I can't remember more right now, and I'm done for the night.) I'm aware it has been declared "legal", but the OP asked "what do you think?". I respect your opinion on things, so, what do you think of this outside a court ruling on its legality?
  10. Border patrol has no business stopping people away from the border.
  11. These need to be addressed before your jump next IMO. +1 including the plastic in contact with the reserve riser. I'm not a rigger, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
  12. With no intruder held for police option I went with scared them off. I'd rather not go through the expense of a lawsuit after shooting someones "little angel" in addition to not wanting to kill another human.
  13. Frucking made my day with that one, I needed the laugh, thanks.
  14. Been there done that, "rover" looked so much better after the IV fluids/whatever else was in there that we decided to wait and see. Passed the rubber "super ball" the next day on his own, "rover" happy and healthy, bank account only minorly drained and kid still has dog, although no longer allowed "super balls". Everyone pretty much happy with outcome, although I doubt we'd have made the same call if it was Grandma instead of Bo.
  15. I'm with you there, I don't want anyone telling me what weapon I'm "allowed" to defend my family/home.
  16. I also would not go there. I'm going to suggest a short barreled pump gun of some sort along with some training to an inexperienced firearm purchaser for home defense. This assumes only one weapon in the home and that the need is only for home defense. I'm all for the correct tool for the job and am not suggesting that this is the tool for every situation. As an all around "one gun" suggestion for home defense it's hard to beat a shotgun.
  17. Just a thought, what if Biden assumed the lady asking the question he responded to was as inexperienced with firearms as his wife? Would the suggestion of an easy to operate two shot weapon that does not require precise aiming possibly be a good idea? He did not say that is the weapon that he would grab in that scenario. A very uncomplicated shotgun with a second round available might be just the thing for someone with little to no experience. The part I take issue with is the two warning shots. That was clearly not a well thought out reply. I am not a Biden fan, just trying to see this in a different light. Am I wrong?
  18. Another one I liked “WARNING, trespassers will be shot on sight. Survivors will be shot again” A friend used to have that one in his front window next to his door. He called the cops about a theft from his vehicle and they were more interested in giving him crap about his sign than they were about the theft.
  19. In AZ warning shots will get you charged with a crime.
  20. Rockem Sockem Robots ? (probably not spelled correctly)
  21. I run a boat repair and rental business. I get paid to go to the lake every day. I have a degree from the school of hard knocks. James
  22. How often do you jump a camera? Nave you weighed yourself with all your gear on?
