    Smith and Wesson service?

    I have a Model 500 that I bought from them a couple of years ago. After feeding it about 300 rounds of full strength factory loadings the trigger return spring broke. I was pretty leary about sending it in because I had NEVER sent a gun in to any company before. I called them and 2 days later...

    Any chainsaw experts out there?

    I'm running a Husky 359 with a 20 inch bar but it will take up to a 24 inch. I can't imagine using it over your head for much work. You can hold it up there but after one or two limbs over my head it's pretty heavy. :) Have a good one, Dave

    Back from Yellowstone.....

    Thanks for the info! I've had the wife add it to our "must do in our lifetime" list of vacations. :)

    This Does Not Look Good.........

    How does this standard compare to what they're selling in Europe? I was under the impression that all we're doing is adopting their standard. I'd guess that getting rid of the contaminated fuel would be easy .. . .there's still a big home heating oil market in the northeast and farmers could...

    Aneone heard of Titan Industrial equipment?

    A diesel gen set would be really nice. I was surprised to find that you can get them through samsclub.com .. .they just deliver it to the local sams club and you pick it up. If I didn't have a good genset already I'd be buying one. Have a good one, Dave

    2007 Toyota Tundra

    Kinda looks like a toyotafied superduty. Much better looking than that abomination that honda put out . . . I'd have to consider one if they ever put a diesel in it. Without a diesel I'll just drive my X for another 10 years. :)

    Back from Yellowstone.....

    Those pictures are INCREDIBLE. I thought the park was closed in the winter. How does it work? Do you just go and plan on a good chance of being snowed in for a few days or ?? Do you snowshoe around instead of hiking or ?? We've been there but always in the summer and I HATE the crowds ...

    Anyone got a spare deduction or dependent

    I guess that makes us DIRT (Double Income Raising Three) We pay ungodly taxes and don't seem to get any of the "breaks" (or very little of them) because they phase them out as your AGI goes up. I think about the only two we get are the 401k and mortgage interest (and other itemized...

    When should I change my air filter element?

    FWIW the restriction gauge on mine works great. It just takes a REALLY long time to get enough restriction to make it start reading. By the time I got to 3/4 restriction the obvious change was that when I stomped on it to exercise the injectors I got some serious black smoke. With a clean...

    Anyone got a spare deduction or dependent

    I went and looked it up after reading this yesterday and it appears to me (from my reading at http://www.irs.gov) that 24 is the limit and then only if they're a full time student unless they are mentally or physically handicapped. I was shocked at that. I went down in the basement and...

    When should I change my air filter element?

    Did you put the new restriction gauge on it at the same time? I think those are fairly accurate. I'm in a very dusty environment and I put 30k on mine and was at about 3/4 restriction. I decided I'll just change mine out as part of my regular 30k maint. (flush tranny, new air filter, new...

    Vonage Telephone Service

    If you're on a high speed Sat system they don't work too good . .at least that's been my experience. If you've got a reasonably good broadband system then they're ok. Regards, Dave

    Fuel-water separator...where is it?

    If you do the hose trick (which I highly recommend) then make sure to put a bolt or golf tee or something up the hose to plug it. Around here we have these nasty little bugs that seem to love diesel. If you don't plug the hose they will crawl up there and plug it up. The next time you drain...

    GM in trouble

    I'd bet your estimates are low on the salaries of the senior folks. It should be published in the annual reports. I work for a company that isn't even a drop in the bucket when compared to GM and our senior execs make serious money. (not in the same category, but our CEO makes almost...

    have to make a comment

    You forgot that it's ok to be anti-christian now . . . . . I think it's still ok to make fun of "white trash" . .at least it appears to be if you watch "My name is Earl". I wonder what would happen if they came out with "My name is Habib?" or "My name is Ishmael"? Oh well . . .not much I...

    Phone Call You Hate To Get -

    Started reading that one and thought it was going to be really bad. I'm glad it turned out as well as it did!! My families thoughts and prayers are with you! Take care, Dave

    1967 F100

    How about a picture? You HAVE to take a bunch of "Before" pictures so you can see how far you've come when you're done! Have a good one, Dave

    Any Steelheaders?

    That's a really nice one. I haven't done it very often, maybe 10-12 times in my life, but when my dad retired and moved to Oregon we used to go. He had his own drift boat. I think the biggest I ever caught was right around 9 1/2 pounds. I was really tired of cranking on that reel when we...

    towing package hp

    In mid-02 they bumped the HP from 235-250. I don't think the towing package did anything for you HP wise. Have a good one, Dav

    AIC

    The hardest thing for you to do will be to find the stupid plug behind the dash. :) If you don't mind contorting yourself though it's pretty simple. There were some pictures and instructions on TDS, but I don't know if they're still there or not. Have a good one, Dave

    How long do you idle in cold weather??

    I've got the AIC on mine so I just set the parking brake and go inside. (If it's 5 minutes or less) If I've got some shopping to do then I just shut her down when she's cool enough. Just my .02. Regards, Dave

    GUI development

    Your best bet would be to contact the maker of your touchscreen and ask them if they have an SDK (Software Developers Kit). This will give you the headers, etc that interact with their hardware. You will probably still need to buy a compiler of some sort depending on the OS that the...

    RV battery recommendations

    In normal operation an optima doesn't vent. I don't have the good reference on it, but here's one: http://www.1st-optima-batteries.com/yellow_top_battery.asp Regards, Dave
