I really liked the couple of Blackberry phones I had. BB10

A 42 pound female dog. Probably a neighbor dog.

Your wife is a great photographer! It is hard to get such nice photos of birds.

Happy birthday Automechanic! And many more……..

GON, you work hard on your vehicles. The Lexus seems like a car and I can understand why you would go through the trouble to make things work right. Is it quiet inside? My BIL rented a late model Toyota 4Runner when he came to visit last fall. I was surprised by how truck-like the 4Runner felt...

I used to go to that store when I lived in La Mesa. Small world.. Decent price too!

Was it still alive? I lived in the desert for years but never saw a scorpion. I once saw something resembling a scorpion, but it didn’t have the same tail and was a bit larger.

I absolutely love the Beech Bonanzas. My favorite model Bonanza is the S35. Came out in 1965 or 66. It is the lightest V tail with the Continental IO-520 engine. Basically, the first year of what I call the big block engine. I used to teach in the Bonanzas and considered it the best sorted...

Do what the cheap volume remanufacturers do. Clean then paint the case/outer housing, slap some brushes in it and SEND it..:LOL: Actually, sometimes one can buy a new slip ring setup from an alternator/starter supply house and fix it the right way. If it is the OEM alternator, you might want to...
