    A/C won't take gas in

    If the system held vacuum and then started taking freon but only took a small amount, my guess would be that his tank went empty.

    The Hidden Social Security Math Nobody Shows Retirees

    When my wife and I bought our first house we knew we were really tight with money. So we logged every dime we spent in cash. Making the change to bring my lunch vs. buying it made a big difference. Those "small" expenses can add up fast.

    Finally time to pull the trigger . . . starting on the New (much anticipated) SHOP - Build

    Wow, sounds like you dodged a bullet with the permit stuff. If they would have found something they didn't like you could have been in trouble! I had my township come out to inspect the street related area in order to repave our street. They found a drain I had going through the curb (been...

    Interesting, and he makes a good point that is hard to argue against. Thanks for sharing!

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint

    This is obviously a very painful and expensive journey, but I commend you for digging in and getting it done right. :thumbsup:

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    I've had my "spot of tea", so now it is time to get to work. I have a few bills and other "paperwork" type things on my to do list this morning. In the afternoon, I need to work on my daily driver Corvette engine that I pulled. It had an oil leak, and I got pissed and pulled the whole engine...

    Lookie what $5000 buys you....

    It seems to me the Jigsaw's current theme is "beater/ barn find/ Joe Dirt", like it was pulled out of a barn and made to work again well enough to be back on the road. If you paint it, it will get a new theme (nothing wrong with that), but the barn find look will go away. My personal opinion is...

    Rear shoulder belts in a 1970 Charger

    I once heard a guy say that 90% of customizing cars is making brackets, and I have to say I have found a lot of truth to this. Greg: You could have sat there with your thumb up your butt because you didn't have all the perfect tools, but you made use of what you had and built it. Kudos! In the...

    1974 Roadrunner Re-Paint

    Unfortunately, I have found that once you start digging into these old cars, you discover lots of things you didn't want to see. When I bought my 70 Road Runner it was yellow - it had been changed from the original Limelight. Under the paint was a crease on the passenger side all the way from...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    I don't do coffee, so I am having my morning cup of tea (black). This morning I need to go in to the eye doctor and see how my right eye is healing from retinal detachment. My eyes have been giving me fits since early last year, I have now had 5 surgeries on them, so I am really hoping I won't...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    I feel your pain! My kids complain that my garage is now like working on the surface of the sun - they complain that it is too bright. I bought LED lights from Summit that are the same size as fluorescent fixtures and they really do work great. I have 4 old fluorescent fixtures that are still in...

    Roadkill and other car related TV shows

    I have been hugely pissed many, many times when working on cars. However, since 95% is in my own garage, I have learned to simply walk away when I get pissed. I just set down whatever tool I have in my hand, shut out the lights and walk away. I have learned over the years that if I don't, bad...

    the daily rant

    Well, we will see. They are actually still responding and (seemingly) trying to address the issue. Thanks. Yes, I had that on my old PC. But that doesn't stop ads that come through the operating system. I feel like I have done pretty well to protect my hearing, and quite frankly, haven't been...

    the daily rant

    You are right - there is no such thing as a lifetime office365 subscription. But 2021 was the last MS Office that could be purchased with a subscription key that never expires. That is what was supposed to come with my new PC.

    the daily rant

    So my 13 year old laptop just won't cut it any more, so finally broke down and bought a new laptop. <RANT ON> Rant Part 1: I'm so freaking tired of constantly being barraged by advertisements. :cursin: During the setup of this new PC, they try to get you to purchase cloud storage, Microsoft...

    Stop on in for a cup of coffee!

    Yeah, and all kinds of AI crap too to shut down. Heck, maybe eventually AI will just respond for me on FBBO? :poke: WTF
