    I've seen that. Powder covering the touch hole.
    Actually, I use 3F for both prime and main charge. I try to bank the prime.

    Hope your yard dries out soon, so you can get it cut Carl

    Back yard (thanks to my wonderful neighbors :rolleyes:) is a good bit of weeds.... They clog up the mower all the time, so wet or "dry" it's still wet. Oh, well. Saw the one neighbor out a week or so ago, right after he'd had his (as usual knee high weed patch) yard cut and told him I wasn't happy with his yard guy... Jacka$$ blows all the weeds up against and through the fence. There will be a foot high patch of weeds along the whole length of the fence. Finally got the dork to quit scalping my front yard along the property line by putting little flags out. :anonymous:

    :anonymous: some days, just have to skip to the current page. You belong in the "great people" group!!!

    :laughing: :D

    Good luck. Hope you find one soon.

    :wave: Hey there Susan! Haven't seen you around these parts much lately.

    My yard is still soggy too. I walked around at noon and my shoes got wet. Maybe I'll mow tomorrow.

    Morning all:
    HUMMMM, was just thinking of something!
    The new truck has a set of locking lug nuts on it, they asked if I wanted them and I said no, but it had them on when I picked it up and they said NC.
    In the compartment under the back seat was the package that they came in and the key for them, I didn't notice if the 4 original lug nuts were also in there if I wanted to eliminate the locks, need to look, I want those!

    Locking lug nuts can be a pain. SWMBO had a set on her last car and couldn't find the key when she had a flat. A tire company had to remove all of them so she could go on. After we replaced the car we found the key, in a tool box she always carried with her.

    Afternoon all:
    Contacted the dealer, they "SHOULD" be in the glove box, if they aren't it will be $15.04+ tax for 4 of them, well they aren't in the glove box or anywhere else!
    HUMMM, wonder if they will be selling me the 4 that were removed! :rolleyes: :laughing:

    Sounds like Murphy's Law ;).

    Hey Carl, I'd have a chat with the sales person about the situation and if he won't help you out, talk to the sales manager. Tell them they can have the wheel locks back for $20 each and the key for $30 :rofl:LOl

    This. I’ve been hearing horror stories from mechanics about lost keys.

    Lost keys are easy.
    It’s the stripped ones or the ones to tight you break keys that are a problem.

    Evening all:
    Salesman got back to me, said to let him know when I'm coming down and he will "give" me the 4 lug nuts. I did mention to him about that I didn't want the locks in the first place, but since they were on and NC I didn't worry too much about it.
    Mike, there was a plastic package in the truck that the locks and key came in, locks were removed and on the wheels, key was still in the package. Is that the way they come from the factory, or were they dealer installed, I would think dealer installed.
    I'm not fond of locks at all for reasons mentioned, that's why I said I didn't want them!

    Oh great, just heard that another guy I know did himself in, just saw him with one of his brothers day before yesterday. :(

    I have never installed wheel locks on a new vehicle during PDI.
    They have been on already.
    So I’m thinking dealer installed.
    I throw a set of locks away a week.

    Just checking in from the Thumb in Michigan. My SIL asked me to be on the lookout for a surfboard for a decoration at her cottage. I found one and my son helped me install it. LOL. He did 95% of the work.
