RE: St. Louis pursuit Well, depends… Where and when I grew up, if one ordered a restaurant hamburger with everything, the hamburger was delivered swimming in chili sauce -- no lettuce, no onion, no tomato and NO BEANS. Same thing would happen if one ordered a hot dog with everything. Keep...

Okay--so stuff like this drives me crazy (crazier?). I had to look it up. Apparently, a nor'easter is named for the wind direction during the storm (wind being named for the direction from which it blows) as opposed to the compass direction of storm travel. Seems counter-intuitive, doesn't...

Piece of cake, Harry! Central, upstate NY is looking at 3 to 5-inches beginning this afternoon, another 3 to 5-inches Tuesday, as yet unspecified amounts of snow on Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat and Sun. (This why baseball season doesn’t begin until June around here.) :lol: Nothing to it! I...

RE: Re: Detroit or ARB in rear DANA 44? OKAY - so why Forum Rules and Guidelines? I hate to throw a stink bomb into the Mutual Admiration Society parade, but someone needs to do just that. I will be the bomb thrower and play Devil's Advocate today. Did something happen to trigger a stampede...

RE: interesting rig of the month south442 wrote: Hi-Ya Southie, If you enjoyed the "Ada Lovelace" and "Babbage" allusions, you might also enjoy reading about the origins of the "punched card" and the historical connection to Lovelace and Babbage. Although the IBM Corp. brought the punched...

Don't make me tell you guys about my Commodore, Vic-20 (No hard drive). Then there was the upgrade to the Commodore-64!!!! Have I mentioned that I once dated Ada Byron Lovelace? Lost her to that Babbage fellow. Then there was the.... Regards, ENIAC, Gadget PS: Pictures of Gadget's first...

RE: CJ front seat risers/sliders assembely Hi-Ya jeeprookie, You did not tell us the model of your Jeep, and a look at your profile revealed no particulars of your Jeep. If your Jeep is an older model with stock front suspension, you might find that there is little to adjust, beyond the...

Hi-Ya prariepunk, My 1985, CJ-7 had the OEM front seats at purchase. Both OEM front seats tipped forward (tipper-over-rosers), but only the driver’s seat had a slider mechanism. So, the driver’s seat was a tipper-over-roser-slider, but the passenger seat was a tipper-over-roser. I added...

TOP DOWN!!! Thanks to all for the responses and suggestions. I guess that I will try to find someone around here that wants the PC and monitor, and give it all to them. The PC is, of course, worthless as regards selling it. There is no tax advantage available to me by donating the PC to a...

RE: Broken rear axle I have lately been rummaging around in the dark corners of my cellar (AKA: the Gadget Cave) and there unearthed a "Hewlett Packard" PC; circa mid-1990s, 233 MHz. processor, 128 Meg of RAM. Cleared totally disorganized workbench for the PC, connected said PC to an equally...

RE: retreads Okay -- serious post this time. Another approach to tire balancing. I stumbled upon the web site listed below some time ago. (I had a heck of a time finding it again.) The web site might be worth looking at in the context of this thread. I honestly do not know if the...

I have been reading ads for this sort of tire balancing scheme since the 1950s. Those ads were always among the classifieds in the back of magazines like “Popular Science” and Popular Mechanics.” The “Astounding Tire Balancing Technology” ads would be listed among the ads for the...

RE: wanted, winch I received a replay from my friend (who knows about such things) about the roof slash question. His reply echoed Sparky's -- the moose did it. First responders would have cut the pillars. Regards, Still Afraid of Mooses, Gadget

Due to schedule conflicts, Mr. and Mrs. Gadget had to celebrate V-Day on Sunday evening. Mrs. Gadget enjoys an occasional trip to a casino. So, off we went to a casino for an evening of dining and gambling. No flowers. I must be married to the only woman in the universe who dislikes...

"Chevy versus Moose" I received the four pictures below via email. This car-moose collision supposedly occurred somewhere in Ontario, Canada. The driver reportedly survived the accident with a broken wrist and desperately needing a bath. I sent a reply to the sender of the email...
