    computer virus!!

    I feel your pain. Crap happens, but the crap quit happening to me three years ago when I wiped, did a fresh install of XP Pro, and began using Norton Internet Security w/full utilities and firewall. I even managed to choke out that "about:blanK" IE hijack until a couple of weeks ago. Boy...

    What are the temps like in your area?

    Mostly teens and twenties over the past two weeks with some dipping into the 8+ range....still have snow on the ground and roof from early last week. Supposed to be below zero tonight but warming into the low thirties by the end of the week. Late January through mid-February is always the...

    did i buy the wrong diesel?

    All I heard out of my kid brother was Dodge/CTD this, Dodge/CTD that....until he hooked the 12K 5er up to my truck and drove it. My truck became his chosen puller throughout the recent 4K miles FL vacation while his brand new 2500 sat in his garage. He hates handshakers, but now swears his...

    Tire Rotation

    I'm an old fart with old habits I continue to practice. I treat all tires as if they're rotational. 4 wheel vehicles, I swap out fronts and rears with no crossing; duallies, replace them as they wear out by axle. I go through two sets of fronts to one set of rears. For the past ten or so...

    Direct TV/ Dish Network

    I've been switching back and forth between DirecTV and Dish. Am currently on Dish because of the DVR....Direct wanted $99 for the upgraded receiver; Dish gave it to me free for switching. Prices for basic programming w/local channels are comparable between the two. I believe Direct is more...

    What do you do for fun/recreation?

    RVing, off roading, home diy projects....just returned from 3 wks in FL, AL, & TN. They saved so much work for me to catch up on the job; and, the current systems upgrades at work are so demanding, what little time I have to spare is devoted to learning how to use everything on my new Xmas...

    How do you like your hash browns?

    You think awful house is bad, try awful garden....worst imitation of italian food I've ever eaten.

    How do you like your hash browns?

    scattered, smothered and chunked with over easy eggs mixed in and a splop of ketchup. Grits with butter, salt and cold, diced tomato; or, with soft scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato and cheese mixed in. We've got a WH in Bloomington but it sucks....in fact, none of them any more are like my...

    looking for winch advice

    Understand your position and I'll spare you my winch stories beyond I've yet to see any brand winch fail. And, I've been doing this crap for thirty years....both our families were heavy into salvage/recovery work. My MileMarker has done unbelieveable stuff. Furthermore, I've not seen a winch...

    looking for winch advice

    You decide on a winch yet? Member of my club has a new MileMarker SE12000 up for grabs for $450 and shipping....won't fit behind her bumper (new FJ). I run a PE8000 on my trail truck and a 2500 on my trailer. They've done fine for a couple of years. The winch is $553.99 w/free shipping at...

    looking for winch advice

    Best winch prices I've ever found are here: Winch Depot My off road club's VP is manager of 4wheelparts, Cleveland, and my discount can't touch those prices. The 9xti or the 24V M15000 CE are my picks....I've seen them uproot large trees out on the trails.

    New Taco; The Good, Bad....Ugly.

    Thanks, Wayne....everything's good and am wishing you and all a most wonderful Turkey Day. That's where my mind's at now. I heartily agree with your assessment of the newest Camry....it blows compared to the previous models where the LE is concerned. They've made the latest one relatively a...

    New Taco; The Good, Bad....Ugly.

    You guys are absolutely on the money. Progressive gave me a list of 5 "member" body shops to select from, but acknowledged I have the right to get it fixed at an alternate shop of my choice....penalty was, I'd lose Progressive's 100% warranty for my period of ownership. I opted for Davis...

    New Taco; The Good, Bad....Ugly.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I don't eat candy, drink a lot of soda pop, or anything else like that. I drink coffee....gallons of it, and I'm coffee fueled. I don't drink at least a cup an hour I go comatose. I love coffee....love it. First thing I drink when I get up, last...

    New Taco; The Good, Bad....Ugly.

    The Progressive guy stated all options are still open. When the body shop gets the vehicle stripped down to the frame, it will go on the frame rack for baseline measurements. The current repair estimate is nearly 1/3 the MSRP and I don't know what the repair/replace margin is. When the...

    New Taco; The Good, Bad....Ugly.

    Ain't that the truth, Robert....it's a miracle we all came away unscathed and a reminder of how tentative and precious life really is. $8500 so far. They were stripping the bed off at 4 p.m. and the adjuster said he wouldn't be surprised if he voids/writes a half dozen more checks before the...
