    Happy Birthday colonel_sanders

    I am sure working on any public forum is an endless position. Anyone that has every written any software, or firmware, knows it NEVER is finished. There are always "bugs" that crop up, even when you think you have everything that could possibly go wrong, covered. My hat's off to you Colonel. And...

    So, what did you do today?

    Well you should feel privileged. At least they drive by your house. They don't even drive on any of our streets... Something about those people can't even read, how would they know to enter?

    I need computer help...seriously!

    I think I have "disables" set to (0) and ever possible idea I could possibly find now concerning the Cortana Banner popping up. So many times my computer isn't configured like some instructions are listed. However, I have covered everything I have seen, read and instructed so far. For some...

    I need computer help...seriously!

    Well for what it's worth, I TRIED both ideas posted above. The second one by @alldodge didn't work out since my list of files seemed to not have the file needed in my drop down list to even change. Yeah, go figure. Every other listing was on par BUT the one needed to change... And I played with...

    I need computer help...seriously!

    Back story; Yesterday I was...FORCED...to do updates via Microsoft pushing it at me for weeks now. So I allowed the updates for WIN 10 updates. After at least TWO HOURS of snail crawling efforts, it finally finished, but then the problems started. Not only does the screen look different, it also...

    Home Renovations - Weather Permitting

    WOW, freezing weather and a metal entrance setup. I can't see any problems. I do remember wearing gloves and having them frozen to metal poles before. Forget the tongue, the glove frozen to the metal...

    OMC Chevy 5.7 just cuts out.

    Search for the "Tiny Tach" and you will see a self contained digital tachometer that uses a wire wrapped around any spark plug lead to trigger it to display RPMS. And since there no direct connections to the engine, it doesn't effect what is going on. But it will stop displaying RPMs if there is...

    Nice finish there, did you mix in any catalyst with the paint?

    Fuses

    Does everything else work? If so maybe you actually do have a blown light bulb for that light. OR the switch could be bad... So many things you just have to start checking and tracing wires...

    Tackle boxes

    Well that sound logical, but if I only had one tackle box setup like that, I would NEED whatever the others were using to actual catch fish. Yea, I am a perfect fisherman that catches more tackle then fish... lol

    Home Renovations - Weather Permitting

    Oh yes, I used to live in eastern upper north Pennsylvania up to my early teens. Coal mining district on the side of a mountain. Then we were forced to move with my dad's job to Georgia. So I know exactly all about snow and ice storms. Never seemed to mind it much when I lived there. But equally...

    Mounting battery selector switch ideas

    Maybe a little picture or three will show what I was talking about with mounting the battery selector switch in the battery box... Here are a few pictures... None of the parts can be flooded via water intrusion the way they are installed. So what better place then at the battery... JMHO I have...

    Aren't tackle boxes exactly like tools? I mean you can never ever have too many of either...

    Outboard Painting

    My recipe is, bare metal, Zinc Chromate, 2K primer, sand between the primer coats, top color coat with PPG automotive paint, then PPG 2K clear top coat, then polish for results.

    How too test if PU coil is weak ?

    When removing ANY distributer, ALWAYS mark where the rotor is pointed before pulling it out. Then when you reinstall the distributor, make absolute sure the roto is pointing in that exact same place. Other then that, really nothing to removing a distributor. Just DON'T spin the engine over while...

    OMC Chevy 5.7 just cuts out.

    The first thing you have to do is try to figure out if it is electrical or fuel issue. Sounds simple but that will lead you quicker to the problem. If you can monitor the spark and see if you still have spark when it dies, that would at least help direct you to electrical or fuel issue. Even...

    So, what did you do today?

    Thanks Jake, Not an original idea but it allows me much movement if needed, and if I have to, I can take the pump out and install another one very quickly. And since most in-tank fuel pumps are manufactured the same (actual pump portion anyway) they are available pretty cheaply too. Way cheaper...

    Sounds like a plan. But I would also install a continuous top vent so that the air flow in and out through the peak rig vent setup. Amazing how much heat gets trapped at the peak. Anything you can do to drop that heat means a lot less AC bill... JMHO

    Trying to get some Christmas Spirit we've switched the radios to an all Christmas music station. Kind of helps some but not like years past. Well one of the songs there are playing is Rudolph, The Red-nose Reindeer. However this years version is singing Rudy, The Red-nose Reindeer. And I get...
