A pair of ice tongs so I don't get my fingers wet and dirty up my scotch. Art

Good to hear thanks for all of your hard work Roy and for keeping us healthy. A bug free site is a happy site. Art

Thanks for the photos Roy I feel like I have been to your house and had Christmas dinner with the two of you. Art

The height of all toilets are the same. The issue of a flange to high can only be corrected by lowering the flange. If the flange is level or below the floor then by adding a wax seal could help but is not correct as far as being permanent. The Flange when correct is the backside of the flange is flush with the floor with 1/4 inch of flange for pvc or abs above but supported. If you want remove the 4 screws holding the flange to the floor see if they are stripped out. Push the flange and see if without excess force it will rest on the floor. If so recess drill 4 new holes and install 4 S.S. screws that are flush with the flange top don't over drill the tapper holes. If you can get the flange correct you can set it with 1 regular wax seal. Adding more wax makes it more likely to compress inward and interfere with the toilets throat. In some cases the flange can be cut out from the top with a special cutter and or a special bit can be used to extract the pipe from the fitting. Using a inside flange on 3" pipe usually gives you a toilet that doesn't leak but clogs easily. If you don't want to cut the snow skirt and the price of the tools for one use will make this a job that is cost effective for a plumber to do. Art

The Question was for a contact at Sails lets narrow our replies to that please. Art

I have used the whole line of there baits and they work great. One of my favorite baits is the mouse for largemouth bass. Art

That is the ticket. Thanks Art

The brake cleaner will flash well before it gets to the running stage.This is a good note if someone decided to try to clean the carb with it while running though Thanks for the safety point. If you feel you might have a leak on the intake while running at idle spray CARB cleaner around the intake but not the carb intake any raise in the RPM is an indication you have an intake leak. Before using any gasket material make sure you do not get it in any of the gasket ports between the intake and the carb. There are some carbs that have pinhole sized passages near the flange that regulate the lower air circuits and if gooped will give you fits tuning and then cleaning. Art

Lets continue this as a question and not as a judgement please. I would like to know what the follow up of this was. Thanks Art

I am not falling for this this year. Last year I posted a live web cam for Virginia Beach, Virginia USA. lol Art

I have a jet outboard drive on one of my boats and while I haven't put out any fires I have cooled off a few friends with it. Art

Sorry to hear that he had Cancer Jacques. It is a tough fight not only for him but the ones who have to watch it without the understanding why it happened to him. I hope everyone can deal with it and trust that someday the answer will be revealed to them. Best wishes for all who were touched by this and I will say a prayer for him and I know you all will be reunited in the future. Art

Best to clean it again and this time use a can of brake cleaner( yes not a typo) with the straw and blow it thru all of the passages in both directions. The carbs main jet located at the base is the most important part of the fuel delivery system on motors that are run full throttle for most of there working conditions. Most carbs I pull down and rebuild have to be either cooked or sonic cleaned to get rid of the varnish that builds up. A third process if you are not familiar or do not have the equipment is to soak them in VARSOL for 12 hours or if not available brake cleaner because it does not eat the rubber parts like carb cleaner will.

Wow no wonder we only got 3 inches here it seems it all fell up North on the way down. Art

The thread was scanned and it comes up clean. A ticket was submitted to the server and the thread was removed to be safe. We would rather be safe than sorry here. If anyone ever has any possible issues feel free to send a P.M. to the Mod of their choice and we would be happy to help. Merry Christmas Art

"Virginia" like the looks of that ham. Merry Christmas Brian and Family. Art

Merry Christmas to all my friends and thanks Lew for the 2012 fishing trip. Art

Very cool Brian you got a great little missus buddy. Art

Mike I would start with something simpler that is load test the battery and check the alternator output. If it passes both then put an inline amp meter to see if you have any amp draw with the key off and the truck door closed, radio off etc. If so then start pulling fuses but cold weather might be more than the battery can overcome due to age. Art

Can you suspend service for the winter and then pay a restart fee cheaper than what they are billing you? I would also consider when you get the bill with zero movement and a service report for down power in circumstances beyond your control might get you a refund. Art

Good to hear Kevin I hope you will keep us posted so we can congratulate or chastise as needed. Art

Welcome and your second tip is..... don't ice fish on a hockey rink. Art

I received a note from my propane company of many years and the prebuy price I paid was $2.28 per Gallon. The note was to inform me they would be reducing the price I pay to $1.99 per gallon with a refund of any unused balance returned in March after the heating season. With the easy winter we have had so far they said they will not have to purchase any more from the suppliers during the cold season. Art

Good job Randy all's you need is the "he man wimmin haters club" sign from the little Rascals. Art

Here is what I got 3,237 mi, 55 hours plus the 3 hour border time warp. Art
