  1. I went by the pie-o-meter for the lie-o-meter readings (wifes truck)
  2. Cool, I will plan accordingly. Thank you.
  3. Couldn't resist. I think I need to go back to bed lol...
  4. Ford F-150 XLT gets 28MPG on freeway Add a motorcycle trailer (standard Uhaul motorcycle trailer) and a harley to the mix for 1600 additional pounds. How much would the MPG go down? Going to Florida and trying to calculate gas money for the trip. Don't laugh too hard lol.
  5. I have randomly been going over the what last 10 years or so? We all appreciate what you have done clay.
  6. I sold my house and made a pretty penny for sure. However I am retiring in 6 years and moving. I have been renting, country hose, since my house sold. My plan was to buy another house and sell but at this point I am just going to continue renting.
  7. I think he has a new ball he wants to run with... https://www.geekwire.com/2020/investment-arms-jeff-bezos-paul-allen-join-76m-round-secretive-biotech-startup-led-isilon-co-founder-stanford-professor/
  8. Damn and here I was going to ask about mods. Guess the above answered that: GF to wife mod forces sell lol
  9. I only used his shop once when I had a 07 suby sti. It was while he was dating, per above, a crazy chick. Unprofessional both times I went in to drop and pickup. Screaming at the top of his lungs at a customer on the phone (I could relate though some days). Then while I was waiting outside the office for him to get off the phone he hangs up and goes off on me about I was standing too close to the "shop" area. I played nice and said I was giving him space since he was on the phone and left it at that. I was standing between the front door and the office door. I had brought my car in for 30K maintenance and a few other things. When I drop I always take a picture of my mileage. When picking up I checked and it had a little over 50 miles higher. Wen I asked he told me I was lying even though I showed him a date stamped picture. A week later I figured out he did not do some of the agreed upon work and gave him a call thinking he missed it on the laundry list I had given him. I figured he had charged me so just bring it back in and have him do the work missed, not a huge deal. He proceeded to go off on me about random shit saying he performed the work and I was scamming him. I told him I could show him the new part still in my trunk and the bill showing the install labor for said part. I called it a day and never went back.
  10. I was curious so I took at look at this one. I see: It's easily rechargeable from any powered USB port in 3 hours at What if you use it only once a year. Can these type of units fail?
  11. I would say to research Recteg pellet smokers. I have an offset charcoal smoker right now but I am planning on getting one. Company web site deep link to the model I think would work for what you want: https://www.recteq.com/RT-700-Wood-Pellet-Grill Two very active FB groups with tones of knowledge: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RTGOOA/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/784738541708442 One thing to point out is their customer service. It impresses me.
  12. I have always used: Dyer sheets Irish spring Moth balls I put it in the cabin and engine bay. If stored in the garage I put them under the car also. I use gloves and make sure not to let any of the above touch me or my clothes.
  13. Thanks for the heads up. Vance (Hebron) is hit or miss fofr me. I got some CCI FMJ 50 rounds for $16.00. Other times they had NOTHING period for 9mm.
  14. I have had great results with Lexol. Both the conditioner for deep care and the quick touch up for a quick wipe down.
  15. When doing my car or motorcycle I normally hand wash. Then, one step, is exterior quick detailing spray. I normally just use Meguiars quick detailing spray. Then chrome spray. Then glass cleaner. Then interior quick detail spray on plastic parts. Soooo... A friend lent me a bottle of top coat f11 sprtiz (no wash). I thought uh huh after researching it. Lot's of hype and LOTS of PR, Yeah right. So I used it two weeks ago on the bike. I had done a full detail on it a month ago less claybar and wax. It had around 1000 miles on it since that point with no cleaning attention. A lot of road dirt and a lot of bugs (country living at it's finest lol). Without washing I used it on the paint, chrome, glass, rubber (less tires) and plastic. Ok, I will admit I was amazed. The application made it smooth as hell. It literally melted the bugs off with ease. A lot of scratches on chrome and paint dissipated which I did not expect. I have since put around 200-300 miles on the bike. However the paint and chrome still are really popping/look awesome. Normally it has a heavy layer of road dust and bugs. At this point the scratches have not reappeared (although I do expect they will). Sure there are some bugs smudges/bodies but not nearly the normal and same with road dust. Now a small bottle (with coupon) is around $30ish. Now onto my question: Is there a better no wash solution that does the above with the same or better results? I am by no means a "detailer" but I do keep my things clean.
  16. DOT expiration stamp on the Scorpion EXO-400 please. Also where roughly are you located?
  17. TSB 18-NA-355 is the most current tsb going from memory. I also hear doing a tranny tune will keep it away by disabling AFM. IDK if Chevy is doing a TC swap still or not for this issue. When I had my Camaro the most mod friendly was Coughlin PATASKALA location.
  18. On the charger forum I read I found this: https://www.chargerforumz.com/threads/2014-r-t-making-a-slight-whine-need-help.189186/#post-1865002
  19. Met up with Josh last night. He did an excellent job. Highly recommend.
  20. Any recommends? Got a NASTY door ding, no crease thank goodness, at Wallyworld last night. Located in heath but if mobile will come out here that will work also.

  22. Sooooo Fast forward to today/this week. I saw the index drop I believe, 1500. Then regained 1000. Then today down 1500 for a net loss of 2000. Thoughts for a novice buyer?
