    Things to do while R/R'ing ball joints?

    I've been chasing a vibration lately and while there's a pretty good chance it's warped rotors (I know they're a warped, but the vibration is all the time not just when I'm braking), I've been thinking about R/R'ing the ball joints to see if that isn't the problem. I'm wondering if there are...

    Any exterminators here?

    No, I'm not looking for a Dale Gribble type--I have a legit question. I'm writing a paper for my Physiology class on organophosphate poisoning and need a reference source from a legitimate professional or peer-reviewed journal (no, Wikipedia et. al. doesn't count) and of the New England Journal...

    ? re: the Fumoto valve

    For those of you using a Fumoto valve, how far (if at all) does the threaded part of the valve stick up inside the pan? I was thinking that if it sticks up, say, 1/4" higher than the base of the pan, that's 1/4" of old, dirty oil that won't drain out and will keep circulating but if I'm wrong...

    WOOHOO--got my O-Chem test back!

    I R thrilled right now. We had an exam in organic chemistry on Monday afternoon that, despite having studied my arse off for the last week, it wasn't much fun. Walking out of the room after the test I was fo' sho' that I'd bombed it but when we got them back today, the 18-point curve brought...

    HOW BOUT THEM PHILLIES!!!!!!

    WOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the first time in 14 years the Phillies made it to the playoffs and I am STOKED! Thanks to a Mets collapse that will go down in history, we're going all the way and this is fantastic. I very distinctly remember the heartbreak that was the 1993 World Series...

    Michael Vick's in deep doo-doo...

    If anyone questioned the fact Michael Vick was a worthless P.O.S., now it's on the news that he tested positive for smoking weed. Hehehehe--he's going down and I'm thrilled. POKE HERE

    What to do with old HD platters?

    I just finished disassembling the HD out of my old Dell box and I'm not sure what to do with the platters. I was going to physically destroy them but they're so clean and shiny that it seems a shame to break them into little bits (although .45 ACP vs. platter would be interesting to see). I'm...

    This piping thing is getting big-time!

    A couple of guys from my band were invited to perform on the pipes at halftime during the Air Farce Trade School (a.k.a. The U.S. Air Force Academy) football game on 11/3 and I was one of them! I'm pretty stoked, since apparently our Pipe Major (band head honcho) thinks I'm a decent piper or...

    For the Mac guys...

    THIS is possibly the greatest Dashboard widget ever. Maggie thinks I'm ridiculous for having an $2000 whoopee cushion, but farts are funny--always have been and always will be. :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

    I'm going to be gone this weekend...

    In case anyone give's a rat's arse, I'm going to be out of town (and probably offline) this weekend since my band is going to be HERE. It's the first year I'll be there as a participant, vs. being there as a spectator, and I am STOKED since, from all reports, it's a helluva party and the music...

    Uh oh--think a hub bearing is going out...

    About a 1 1/2 weeks ago, I started hearing a very intermittent squeaking that sounded like it was coming from the tranny but since it went away, I ignored it and gave thanks I didn't have to break out Mr. VISA to fix it (I don't have an abundance of cash at the moment). Just today, though, on...

    Went to a Josh Gracin concert last night...

    Last night Josh Gracin put on a concert on base just for military folks and their dependants and, since (1) it was free, (2) I knew enough of his songs to know that I like his singing Maggie and I both went. Overall, I was rather impressed with the show and had a really good time. It was nice...

    Hey Bama...

    WOOHOO--Finally got a new computer!

    Yesterday Maggie and I went down to Boulder, CO and bought a new 15.4" MacBook Pro and I couldn't be happier with it. Going from my 6 y/o P4/1.5Ghz single-core Dell POS to a 2.2Ghz Core2Duo is a ginormous (now that it's in the new Oxford Dictionary I don't mind using that word) step and now...

    PSD vs. shed

    Just for your information, if you back your truck into a shed, expect the shed to win. :o $467 to the body shop later (thank goodness the sheetmetal wasn't banged up) my truck is back good as new.

    Shuddering on deceleration

    I know it's been a while, but I got REALLY busy for a while and now I'm back with a problem. For the last day or two, I've been feeling a shuddering/vibration through the steering wheel when I'm braking. It happens whether I'm in neutral or in gear, and it happens most strongly around 15 mph...

    Glow plug R/R

    I'm replacing the glow plugs and UVC harnesses on a buddy's '97 PSD tomorrow and am wondering if the procedure is as straightforward as I think or if there's anything I should keep an eye out for. I figure on using plenty of PB-Blaster on the threads and being REEEEEEEEALLY careful not to break...

    Just ordered a new stereo...

    I'm tired of having no tunes in the truck, and since Uncle Sam FINALLY got us our tax refund this year, I ordered myself one of THESE from Crutchfield a few minutes ago. I went to Best Buy a few weeks back and played around with the head units they had. For the kind/volume of music I listen...

    Movie Review "The Guardian"

    I watched the new Kevin Costner movie "The Guardian" about the USCG rescue swimmers and I give it two thumbs up fo' sho'. It's corny in parts, but overall I can forgive the corniness for the action sequences. It was still in the new-release section of Blockbuster but it is definitely worth the...

    Traveling to Canada questions

    Couple o' questions: 1) Do you need a passport to cross the U.S./Canada border if you're flying? 2) Does anyone have a guesstimate (since Mapquest was being flaky for me today) about how far it is from Toronto Int'l to Aurora, ON? There is a piping school I'd like to attend in Aurora...

    Mounted diameter of BFG 285 75/R16?

    Does anyone know the mounted diameter (or approximation thereof) of BFG 285 75/R16's on stock 16" rims? I'm at work now and since it's raining, I don't feel motivated enough to go out once I get home to measure.;)
