50+ thread

Hey, I had to come up with something….
I took a shot..

 

It was a 50/50 gamble...

 

Yea I know. Trying to remember all the in’s and out’s of people is hard.
Sometimes you need to throw a dart…

 

Sure I can understand that, voices are common in old people. But my point is it shouldn't really matter what the person was doing. It should be based on what failed and why. Shit happens, I had a turbo blow up at 55k miles on my Subaru while riding down the freeway at 70mph on cruise. I also had a bit of gasket in my tractor's engine flake off and get stuck in the fuel line, causing a partial blockage/restricting flow and giving me a CEL. Both issues were fixed under the warranties. Toyota TRD is actively sponsoring drift races, so according to the reasoning given in the article, for them to have denied a warranty based on the driver drifting the car is BS.

 

I can see where your coming from..

 

I'm thinking car warranties need sort of a sliding scale....Manufacturers liability vs owners stupidity....

 

Good afternoon folks! I was set to work on the deck this morning but I got side tracked with a local ad for a '95 K2500 with the 5 speed manual. It was the plow truck for the church, it only had about 70K on the odo. The plow has no usefulness to me, so I would have sold it. It didn't work, motor was dead. The solenoids clicked, just no up or down. Brake pedal straight to the floor.. no big deal. She started right up and idled fine, clutch worked and the trans went into each gear with the clutch slightly released. Then I turn the steering wheel back and forth and heard the worst CLANK/POP/SCREECH noise that I've ever heard come out of a beater truck. I had the lady showing me the truck to turn the wheel back and forth, thinking that maybe a plow mount was busted or something... Nope- the steering box had cracked/blown out the frame in 2 of the 3 mounting points. Hard pass on that truck, even though it had the NV4500 trans.

Now it's time to go outside and work on the deck, then battle the damn little ants that have invaded my kitchen counter tops. I've been dousing them with apple cider vinegar/water solution with a few drops of Dawn, it seems to slow them down for a day or 2 then they come back. Everything is clean, no idea why they're there or where they come from. Next up with be the baking soda/sugar bait.

 

We've had very consistent, and good luck using Terro Ant Bait product. It's like D-Con for ants. They swarm all over it, gobble it up, take it back to their nest and share with the rest of the colony. Wipes them all out in about 2 - 3 days.

 

Holy hell I'm out of the damn Holler. LMAO. Going into and out of the depths of West Virginia has been a challenge for communication. First day had a little of a signal but none I could work with much. But how beautiful it was. Still lost in the 60's and hippies everywhere. I'll post more pictures when I get to do some editing.
Y'all be safe out there.
