50+ thread

Ouch. Sorry to hear this Chuck.

 

Apparently spider silk is non conducive until 40% relative humidity, when it begins to conduct with increasing efficiency the more humid it gets. Who knew?

Behind the primary exterior cut-off safety plate were 2 decades of cobwebs. Sketchy to even open it up, but I blasted it clean and coated everything with dielectric grease.

Was that the cabin’s intermittent humidity related issue? We will find out.

Then… My wife flipped a seldom used switch in the basement and blew a fuse. 8 hours later, the whole circuit is now to some approximation of code as per YouTube. If I never touch a multi-meter again, it will be too soon.

The electric turd has been polished a little more.

 

Good evening everyone,

Good thoughts to you Chuck. Kidney stones are nothing to mess around with, and I know you know that. Sounds like your Doctor is on top of it.

I have been using Mobil1 for almost 30 years. Never had any issues.

 

...and that's why I'm a heavy equipment operator...I'd rather bury wire than work with it at either end.

 

Both blocked.. damn hope you can get it fixed quickly.


You know, one good blow might clear it out.



I should probably not type that.

 

A 50+ oil thread!? Excellent! lol! For years (decades and decades) I’ve changed at 5k (ish) intervals with whatever’s cheapest. We have kept most of our vehicles deep into the 200k range and never had any oil related issues. My opinion is that SAE oil is all good enough, and most (not all) people don’t really need to worry about it.

 

I know…I know…it was a rookie question…but Castrol was getting a little too pricey for me. So I asked for feedback.

 

I used mobil 1 but currently Amsoil

 

It was really good!!

 

Damn Chuck, get well. Medical in general is good these days so let's hope this too shall pass. Get well soon Marine.

Sending you positive vibes Chuck

 

We are overdue for another TW DV trip. Been waiting for Blevin to get out here.

Buckle up

5k oil change. Dealership. They do it right.


Unless Mike was my neighbor, then he would do it

 

Feel better Chuck

I used to use Castrol, but switched 10 or 15 years ago (but don't remember why ) Walmart has Mobil 1 cheaper in the 5 qt jugs

evening gang

 

Hullo Miss Susan.

How are you? Staying out of the ER I hope

 

FYI USPS postage goes up in a few days, so stock up on any stamps now

 

Until the grand babies get a little older I don’t see myself being able to do any big trips like DV

 

I had a procedure done by catheter on my prostate. It was a "prosteva". Given the option of a surgical catheter vs being hit repeatedly with a 2x4, I'll take the lumber...
