Amazing, but a bit unsettling too. I think my wife would tell me she’s leaving but that I was welcome to go with her 😆 Mike

Nice work, I’m slowly clearing an area on my property for a future shop build. I’m eventually going to need several large stumps removed, wishing I had a backhoe. Mike

Sounds Pretty well thought out, we have had two above ground pools and 8 years ago installed an in ground pool. I may have missed it but are you going salt water? It’s the only way to go In my opinion. Once I open my pool and get it balanced I rarely have to do anything other than dropping in...

The night after my underground tank was Installed rained very hard. The next morning, tank looked like a submarine breaching the ocean. Second install was Filled w/Propane the same day. Mike

IAFF until I retired on all vehicles. Nothing these days. Mike

That’s a good point, water will separate from the oil and typically settle to the bottom over time.

I think addressing the fuel system first would be advised. If the tank isn’t too difficult to remove I’d pull It, empty and clean. I’d replace fuel filter too (fill the new one with diesel and install if possible). You will need a good battery and possibly a jump pack, it’s probably going to...

I agree with not removing the injectors ( my suggestion to remove was only if a cylinder lubricant was added). Mike

Have you checked the oil for water? Since it’s turning over easily with a breaker bar, I’d be inclined to move forward with attempting to start it. If you add any type of lubricant to the cylinders just be sure to spin the motor over without the injectors to clear them out, you don’t want a...

I haven’t either, I want it! Mike

I like the saying “If you fail to plan you planned to fail” Very important rule towards investing so you won‘t “Have” to work for the rest of your life. Mike

I built my Factory Five in 1999, started as a basic build, w/parts from a wrecked Fox body Mustang. I converted to carb. 302, 5sp. Ford B303 cam, lots of fun. I really enjoyed building it, I did everything including body and single stage paint. Since original build it’s been though numerous...

Year 7 for me (Retirement), I tell everyone I don’t get a vacation or any days off now. Mike

. That’s an impressive rate, these days Mike

Thanks to you Henro! Wife and I both Maxed in May, we got one daughter to open an account also. I passed info about I Bonds to other friends and family too. Sounding like Nov rate may be about 6.48%, which is still pretty good, best CD we have bought was 3.25% - 12 Months. Mike

Anyone notice Treasury Direct website crashing due to the rush to get in on the current 9.62% rate on I bonds By the end of October? Mike

We just had to have Freon added to our heat pump, A coil started freezing up. Its a 17 year old Carrier unit with 410A refrigerant. $350 for 2lbs. And the service call, $100 a lb for the freon, ouch. its probably on borrowed time, tech says it’s most likely a slow A coil leak. Won’t be money...

If it‘s easy to do, swap injectors around and see if the knock moves too. that should let you know it is the injector, not an issue with that cylinder. Mike

Sounds well thought out, I went with 8’ ceiling height and regular 7’x9’ garage doors on my garage/pole building, still regret both. I plan to go at least 12’ ceiling for a lift and definitely larger door openings on the next build. First building is 24’x40’ still debating L‘ X W ‘ on the next...
