    Diesel Vehicle Causes Fire in Cali..

    My ‘18 Duramax can get the stationary re-generation function activated at a dealer. Beats getting the thing towed or limping along... Some people buy diesels when their duty cycle denoted gasoline. Some people use the PTO function & that will require the enabling of stationary re-generations. -John

    A Big Thank You to all BITOG

    GC... Still have three of bottles of old Green in back on the shelf. The old 1.8T is long gone now. I recall people arguing about GC vs XD-3... Have an L5P nowadays. Regular old 15w-40 in it - boring! I think a VW forum or maybe the FJR forum led me this way back in the ‘oughties’... Incredible...

    Wife's Pregnant!

    Greatest ‘job’ that you will ever have. It ain’t easy but the next coupla years will scream by you guys. Try your best to be in the moment. As my father said to me once, “Son, now you know why we are here...” He was right. I could almost feel the Earth shifting under me as the profundity of...

    Post your latest oil change

    A new-to-me ‘18 Denali w/ L5P. Has 24k miles on it. The Ford dealer from whom I purchased it used regular Motorcraft 15w-40 & an AC Delco can. I have a Baldwin 1441 & a Baldwin fuel filter for the next oil change. Speaking of which, I have a lot of SRT-5 10w-30 that I had been running in the...

    Really appreciate the Dark Mode. Older eyes, I guess...!

    Smith & Wesson CS9D

    Am assuming that the 'D' is for DAO? I like one trigger but I cut my teeth on S & W revolvers so that probably explains it. That I carry a Smith DAO 9 only reinforces it for me. Anyway, as a self-defense gun, DAO's make eminent sense to me. John.

    Meanwhile in Canada...

    "Gloomy?" That is anything but correct. I was quite cold as we had a minor storm today. But it looks beautiful ouside & I enjoy blowing snow. This place is far from 'gloomy'. Sounds like somebody needs to travel North lest he comment about something he knows not. I recall a miserable day spent...

    Best way to cook fresh asparagus?

    We usually have asparagus as a side dish to fresh cooked fish. I prefer to cook fish on the stove top in a pan. Usually do the fish first & then toss in the asparagus afger the fact. Cut off the woody inch. Use a good olive oil or butter. Once the rich green colour appears, toss in an amount of...

    Reliable source for Ranger T Series ammo???

    That is precisely correct! John. Originally Posted By: JohnnyJohnson Originally Posted By: Robenstein Originally Posted By: Linctex All of the LEO's I know use Cor-Bon, so that's what I use. Have you tried Ranger SXT? I think it shoots well. Ranger T series uses the SXT bullet design. Yes...

    IPONE - Anybody know this Brand?

    Smell lots of 'strawberry sleds' running it. I like a two stroke engine to smell like a two stroke engine as opposed to fruit salad but whatever floats your boat, I guess... John.

    This is a beautiful plane

    Oh man... I dunno. P47N Ta-152H or perhaps the Fw-190-A8 Mossie, any of 'em. P51D F7F Ho-229 Then the jets... Vulcan B.2 F14 F86 Concord B1b MiG-21 I could do on... Also think that the Super-Connie is an amazing aircraft. John.

    New Toy critique my oil plan. With PIC! FJR1300

    One of the best bikes available. But in the interests in full, fair & frank disclosure, I have been using an '03 since '04. The only issue that I have faced is a mess of fork oil that I found this Spring when I woke it up... That's to be expected & I have hauled out the forks in preparation for...

    Changing the clocks-time

    Love DST &, if I were King, would declare it's universal effect forthwith & never change it to standard time again. But that's me... John.

    Mystery Yamaha Motorcycle

    Still regret not getting that RZ500 back in the late Eighties when I bought the SRX600 thumper instead. Loved the old Thump but the ring-ding RZ would have been a hoot. John.
