    All these truck issues remind me of the problems I had last year with our Mazda Tribute. Engine compartment was covered in snow after a storm. Snow was blowing sideways.Hood was open by only an inch or so, because battery was hooked up to a battery maintainer. Anyway, I brushed off as much snow as possible. Ran the vehicle to melt/dry everything. We had a cold snap. Starter would just click. Temps warmed up and it would start. It got cold and no start. After temps stayed warm it hasn't had a starting problem, even this past winter.

    We had some neighbors move in across the street, last year.

    Half joked with the wife, "I hope they don't do anything rash and try to be friends"
    We joke about being anti-social, which isn't entirely untrue. lol
    We keep to ourselves.

    The posts aren't always long conversation though.
    Short blips and smart remarks. :D

    Be prepared in case they come asking for sugar. Just channel Jim Carey when you answer the door …anything along these lines should make them want to not come by again.

    That's what mine was doing again today. Click then nothing.

    Agreed. I am hoping that is just it. Seems odd that the issue is coming up now and not more immediate after dunking.

    Yeah I noticed that too. I'm guessing it's to drive subscribers? The info is good though.

    Fun fact. Ronny Dahl is who inspired me to get a proper hat for out in the sun. Though his Akubra Coober Pedy has seen better days.

    Hey all, just wanted to say a "finishing up / relatively late" thanks. We're in VT, but about a year and a half ago Mrs. Arc had to start dealing with some family issue around the Milw - Brookfield area. Got a little input from youtes on some local resources and ended up using some with decent enough success. Pretty much through with all that part of it now. Just some other non-related ongoings there for a while.... and WISPACT garbage.....:sawzall: (... you know! lol)

    :cheers:


    And I may have to drive out there once to get some stuff currently in storage. Might have to get a trailer for the way back after she pointed out the Cream City Music store in the area :spending::spending: :bananadead: :homer: etc....

    Until last weekend I don't think Brian has said ten words outloud... No accounting for what he is saying in his head though.

    Does the text read, "Honey, could you come out to the garage. I have to ask you a question.

    As long as your seatbelts still work there's nothing for her to be concerned about. :D
