  • Steve Wood: Maybe he wants to change the name to Texas Too

  • TexasT: Should have went with the Gulf of Texas imo, but Gulf of America is good too.
    March 07 2025, 02:33:31 PM
  • TexasT: Sad they will be missing out on all that Tennessee Whiskey. But I guess a stand had to be made.

  • daveismissing: I had to apply for a visa to respond. EZGO and CLUBCAR are the two major golf cart brands
    March 07 2025, 07:25:40 PM
  • Steve Wood: Not bad names for amateurs
    March 07 2025, 08:48:07 PM
  • TexasT: With all the golf courses seeming to be closing down(three in my local area I can think of off the top of my head) i'm not sure golf carts are at the top of anyone's list for things affected.
    March 07 2025, 11:16:34 PM
  • Steve Wood: I could use a second hand golf cart with good batteries for riding around my place and see what the critters are doing

  • Steve Wood: Hey, Jeremy!  I made some changes to my site before Mark shut this site down.  He then turned it back on and I cannot load anything to it.  I sign in and can see my files, but, when I try to update files, it refuses and sets whatever I try to upload to having zero bits in the online existing file.  got any ideas?
    March 10 2025, 08:12:20 PM
  • nocooler: You will need to get with Mark, probably need some ftp access changes on the new host
    March 10 2025, 09:19:48 PM
  • nocooler: Damn c5 corvettes - can’t get to the crank bolt without removing the steering rack! I chose to drop the starter and move it with by the flexplate
    March 12 2025, 06:01:32 PM
  • Steve Wood: Starter went out on my 2000 Silve rado. Virtually impossible to get it out. Once the bolts were out, the dip stick tube removed, and the wires removed, it took a pry bar to get it past the manifold.
    March 12 2025, 06:37:16 PM
  • nocooler: 2000 still probably had the big body starter on it. The later stuff has a smaller starter, was the replacement smaller?
    March 12 2025, 08:54:22 PM
  • Steve Wood: I think it was a little smaller. One of my younger friends did most of the work.  Getting the solenoid reconnected was harder than taking it off. We used a flexible extension to get get the nut back on.  We did not have to pry to get the starter back into place
    March 12 2025, 09:52:19 PM
  • Steve Wood: No, same size as the one that came out. But my friend said it looked like the old starter had been out some where in the past.
    March 13 2025, 10:51:59 AM
  • nocooler: I know the starter on my 2000 firebird is a beast. All of my trucks have had the smaller starter but they have been 03 and later
    March 13 2025, 08:21:16 PM
  • nocooler: The smaller starter is probably 10lbs lighter
    March 13 2025, 08:21:55 PM
  • nocooler: I’m assuming that’s a 4.8/5.3/6.0 truck but it could be a classic and have the vortec 350 in it
    March 13 2025, 08:27:00 PM
  • Steve Wood: It's a 5.3
    March 14 2025, 04:32:28 PM
  • Steve Wood: Looking at yt , it's just a pain in the rear lol
    March 14 2025, 04:33:18 PM
  • nocooler: Yesterday we had a company out to price replacing 3 exterior doors and  2 storm doors. We thought we had prepared ourselves pretty good for how much it was going to be. We weren't even in the ballpark - total was $24k after discounts - fuck that shit!
    March 16 2025, 05:01:09 PM
  • Steve Wood: Damnnnnnnnn
    March 16 2025, 06:05:32 PM
  • Scoobum: Jeremy, get a contractor over and get him to take the measurements and then order then from Home Depot etc. Install them yourself. Youtube is your friend. I've worked for a few contractors since I retired and it's easy. Have the contractor come back and do all the flashings. If you have a mitre saw you can do all the inside trim yourself. 24 grand is insanity. I helped a contractor friend install HUGE windows 2 stories up in high wind in late November. We had it done in no time. Get some other estimates if you don't wanna tackle it. That price is whacked.
    March 17 2025, 10:27:15 AM
  • Scoobum: In other news my daughter and her husband surprised me we my first grandson on February 18th. Lincoln rolled in at 6 pounds 13 ounces. I'm known as GrandBrad. See you guys in the fall. My grandson lives 3 hours north so I'm busy with him, motorcycling and camping. Have a great summer guys. Later!
    March 17 2025, 10:30:44 AM
  • Forzfed: Jeremy... How wide are your doors?  That is an insane price!  Really high end doors here are around $3k and 66.5" wide.
    March 17 2025, 02:07:28 PM
  • nocooler: Standard 36” wide x 80” tall - it’s pure insanity. We will either find a contractor or I’ll do the install myself. I’ve done a few - not my favorite thing to do but I can get it done
    March 17 2025, 05:22:52 PM
  • nocooler: Congrats Brad!
    March 17 2025, 05:23:13 PM
  • Steve Wood: Congrats! Brad!
    March 17 2025, 09:02:47 PM
  • Forzfed: Yeah, Congrats Brad on the new little one!
