Beauty!! Good for you Bunk!!

Good for you!!! Keep smoke free. Great to hear you are enjoying the job.

Check the ground strap. You will probably find that it is badly corroded esp on a 96.

Lew you did the right thing in cleeaning the hub surface with a wire wheel and coating with anti seize. Check the back of the rims too, if there is corrosion abck there, do the same thing. I remember many moons ago in high school auto shop, I was told to take my shop teachers late 70s Impala with a hopped up 350 o go in the back parking lot of the school and do some hard turns with loose lug nuts to break the wheels loose.... went back to the shop with the mission accopmplished and the car filled with tire smoke for some reason.....

Happy bday Lew!! I hope you have a great day with the ladies in your life!!!

Keep the cupboards stocked with her loaded up on the 'roids. I was eating 5 MEALS a day + snacks when I was loaded up on Prednisone. Keep her eating good food so her body can heal with the radiation. Good luck!!!

Bo and Luke Duke have nothing on me when it comes to changing a tire or even a prop. Only once have I had to do my own tire and that was because a brand new Michelin was defective and blew out. All the rest were with buddiees over the years or at Cayuga changing out slicks for street tires back in our 5.0l fever days.

For those that drive a lot and are budget conscious take a look at Sailun tires. I bought a set for my buick this past summer on the recommendation of my tire guy in Oakville. He guarranteed me that I would be more than happy with them and even went as far as saying he would change them out for another name brand at no extra charge if I was not happy. Well, great tires, handle great, nice ride, great in the rain and are supposed to be pretty good in the winter. They mKe some nice looking winter tires as well. This is coming from a guy who never bought an off brand tire in 27 years of driving.

Good Day!!! Good news is the absolute best news!!! That little girl of yours is something else. It is great when the docs are lined up and get their thing done quickly. Keep the good news rolling.....

Sure they removed it without question. Sales tax is understood, extra fees....not so much. if they let you know from the get go, different story. Just another way to nickel and dime unsuspecting people. To boot, do you need Bull like this right abouut now?? Anyways, I hope Diane gets well soon.

Happy belated bday!!

Sometimes there is no making sense of how things are done. Frustrations and the like. I am 2 years in and my family doctor has yet to see anything on my file here from Credit valley. Hang in there. Wasted time is no big deal as long as there is progress. Jen is one of the strongest willed people I have ever come across and I have never met her in person.

Go on iboats.com, you can download the manufacturers shop manuals that will outline exactly what you need to do for your outboards, both engine and lower. Everyone here can help you out on getting the rest of the work done, ie. winterizing the livewells. Too much for what they did. Def give them a piece of your mind. It should have been shrinkwrapped for that price. Winterizing an i/o which is a lot more involved than an outboard runs 350 or so. If they do not do anything for you, make sure you post the name of the place everywhere you can and warn people of their business practices.

5 micron filter, tannin filter if needed, UV light to kill bacteria and a carbon filter to scrub the water. As Gerrit said, do not screw around with your drinking water. We run the above at the lake along with a 30 micron filter because we draw from the lake. Test before and after using the above setup to see the difference. You will be amazed. It is not cheap to get a proper setup but the results are worth it.

Listen, my fear is that we will see a lot more heavily armed police around. Security is going to be more in our face now than it was in the past and that along with the lives of the two soldiers who died in quebec and in ottawa are the greatest travesties.

Go to Washington DC or to Times Square. Heavily armed police all over.

Mister G, heavily armed police armed with M4s as well as their sidearm are now visible in many urban centres around the US. We in Canada are not accustomed to seeing heavily armed police in paramilitary garb on a regular basis. We see it on TV but not day to day. Unfortunately, this has changed our society.

Unfortunately, the Bull going on in the Middle East is finally showing itself here. The nutbar in Quebec running down a couple soldiers, now this.... if it is indeed connected somehow, we as Canadians just witnessed the end of our normal peaceful life here at home. In the US, every time you travel you remember 911 with all the security and heavily armed police everywhere. I for one do not want to see a police officer on every corner armed with a C8 or sub machine gun. I hope that is not the road that we are going to travel down now.

Wayne, I was walking by St Mikes a half hour ago and thought of Jen's ordeal. I hope and pray it all came out and she can have a bit of good health. Bloody disease!

I do not bother any more. Last time I gave a beggar money was 15 years ago in downtown T.O. He had a sign that read: 'saving for a Ferrari, please help'. I gave him a finn for originality.

My old marketing teacher from high school was telling a bunch of us gear heads how they would have studded tires on their hot rods and they would do burnouts, sparks would be flying and it was cool to watch. He had a '69 Z28 with a 302 4 spd. They would really tear up the roads.

You used to be able to get a 3/4 ton Suburban with a diesel. Great truck but maintenance was pricey.

Buy the best tires you can afford. Shop around though. There are deals to be had if you take the time to find them. Take a day and hit a bunch of shops and compare apples to apples.

Jesus H Christ!!! At the end of the day, doctors are people who make mistakes like everyone else, the only difference is people's lives hang in the balance. Hopefully this comedy of errors ends swiftly and they get rid of the damned tumour.

Best of luck Jen!!! Thankfully you have a surgeon that cares. Hang on there Wayne.
