re: Misfiring Engine on Older Truck
Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/2/24 at 8:10 pm
First thing I'd check would be to wait until nighttime and start the engine. Open the hood and move the spark plug wires around a bit to see if they are arcing to the block.
I've had wires go bad like that on a older vehicle that caused misfiring and a simple plug wire change took care of it. ...

I find it satisfying to make something out of my kitchen that I enjoy and not simply buying the same product from the store.

Those plastic anchors would work fine for something like a chalk board. They come in several different lengths and sized for different size screws.
If I was doing it, I'd go into the mortar, put the plastic anchors into the hole and then use the appropriate screws to secure it to the brick wall...

My wife once worked for an attorney that always made his own limoncello and gave it out around Christmas. He made it, bottled it in a fancy shaped bottle, capped it with a blue synthetic stopper and had labels made to adorn the bottles.
That stuff was damn good and had a nice kick to it with...
re: Tiger Woods accepts special exemption to play in U.S. Open
Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/2/24 at 3:43 pm
I don't know how the PGA rules work, but does this imply that his "Special Exemption" that allows him to play bounces someone who has earned the right to play by actually playing and finishing rounds????
If so, that's a pretty shitty thing to do, and if he has any integrity, he should decline....
re: Is there a Guacamole shortage that nobody is talking about? 3 different stores, no luck.

I did get to Rouses today and they had a bin with at least 300 or more avocados in it. I was kind of expecting to find many overripe ones in the batch but to my surprise, they were all nice and firm and seemed to be about 2-3 days from being perfect for making guacamole or just eating by themselv...

You need to get up along the roof to start to look. Check corners of the soffit to see if any gnaw holes are showing, and they don't have to be all that big for a squirrel to gain ac...

Rouses is selling avocados this week at 3 for $.99, so there's definitely no avocado shortage for making guacamole.
Like already mentioned, make your own....

She also stayed thin between running after the kids and being married to guys who had a hard-scrabble life with menial jobs.

That metal archway would be nice, but if I were doing it, I'd have it powder coated instead of just a painted finish. Powder coating last WAY longer than paint and will cut down on any maintenance issues you'd have if painted.

Growing on the chain link fence is your best option and if wanting something nicer for the entrance and overhead trellis, I'd opt for a wood structure, but be sure to use a quality wood that is rot resistant and low maintenance like Spanish Cedar, Teak or Redwood.
