Not with this new generation of cars, sadly. Used to be my dad did oil changes. Used to be. He can't even FIND the oil plug now.
YouTube it... seriously.
I bet it ain't that difficult once you see it done.
At least have that knowledge filed away.
Industry for HVAC changes too fast. Water heater is fine, but HVAC upgrades almost monthly.Had to have a new water heater put in last month. Initially told my plumber to buy me 2 so I had one on reserve when this new one craps out. He thought I was nuts and talked me out of it. Seriously thinking of buying replacement central air unit to sit here and have as backup when this one goes out.
More like what a hungry fisher does to a large plump porcupine after getting it flipped over onto its back, exposing its stomach.We get tickled?
"They" weren't kidding about The Great Reset... You will own NOTHING.This is what the beginning of a crash feels like.
Do you have a recommendation for a YT downloader?And install a Youtube downloader and save that file to a thumbdrive or HD somewhere. I have done lots of these so I know how to do basic upkeep around this place.
Well, that sucks.Many cars don't have them anymore. They vacuum the oil up from the dipstick. Weird, but true. Wife deals with it daily
I don’t think that’s a good idea. I once talked to an HVAC guy replacing my home’s compressor unit about that very thing. Turns out the seals go bad if it just sits there long enough, and the compressor tubing becomes contaminated, ruining the unit.Seriously thinking of buying replacement central air unit to sit here and have as backup when this one goes out.
My hermit friend says that this will be our last summer! He says farmers are culling their herds cuz can't feed them. Another friend says that they are gonna cull the Human herd and not just animals. He also said that there is a large Realter company that is buying up land in the country and building slum apts 20 stories high and renting to poor white trash people. I could look up the name. It's on his text.
the dipstick is located in the drivers seatNot only that, but cars don’t even have a transmission dipstick anymore!
Another person said:"It's too bad there are no investigative reporters left in the world. This lumber story needs to be investigated and exposed," some else said.
And this person makes an interesting point:"This is what happens when a few companies own the entire market."
So could the lumber industry, controlled just by a few players, be pulling the playbook straight out of the diamond industry to limit supply to drive up prices?"There is no lumber shortage. It's just Weyerhouse and GP wanting to drive up profits."
They don’t have families? Or send the money home.I grew up in the country and my brothers worked on several neighboring farms... we weren't afraid of hard work or smelling like a barn. Then one of my brothers got a job at a local chicken processing plant...he would go to work and return home smelling SO bad that Mom would make him strip out of his clothes outside and scrub down with the garden hose. His clothes could not be washed with everyone elses and still smelled after washing. HE smelled no matter how much he scrubbed! My parents finally had to make him quit the job because none of us could stand to be near him! I have often wondered how they get anyone to work at their plants...
great now a shortage of sand/soda ash and fire!I ordered a piece of Tempered Glass a month ago. Still has not come in, no glass available, or at least not enough.
And you know what, I have applied for many jobs in the last several months. I am 60 years old and have physical reasons for why I can not do a 40 hour work week, yet, they have ALL turned me down if I do not submit myself to 40 hours a week.
My experience (in my mind) could be invaluable, but if you cannot subject yourself to their slavery hours you do not count. I am sick of their whining! the older workforce is willing, but many of us can not do a 40 hour work week!
I think you mean can't build apts when just Wells and septics are available? I didn't think of that. They need sewer lines and water lines.If you have sewer service and water mains to support slum apartments... that ain't land in the country.
That is dipsh*tthe dipstick is located in the drivers seat
Maybe there's more to the lumber story that we're not being told and should be investigated more in-depth by journalists.
YouTube account "Ken's Karpentry" recently published a video of "huge quantities" of lumber sitting and not in lumberyards. The exact location of the video is not mentioned but could be near Lyndonville, Vermont.
The narrator in the video, perhaps it's Ken, but we're not sure, explains that a train depot has been transformed into a makeshift lumber yard. He said train loads of lumber coming out of Canada are offloaded here and then transported by tractor-trailer to lumberyards across the country.
He said, "I am astounded by how much lumber is here, and I am wondering why there is such a problem at lumber yards." He added the facility stretches 3/8 of a mile.
Think about this. Even with all those trucks, we have shortages. Imagine how many we really need to supply this nation.We were shocked when we got on I-5 last week by Santa Nella in CA, there were so many trucks on the road, never seen that many before. Went to a couple of rest stops and the truck parking was almost full, only a few slots available. Seemed like there were more trucks than cars on the road sometimes.
Yeah ha ha.Think of the fire hazards with poor white trash on the ground floor setting the whole anthill on fire!
No thanks! Some enterprising crackhead would steal the fire sprinkler plumbing.

There are rules for "septic density" depending on the permeability of your soil. Cow Hampshire is not very permeable, so it takes a pretty large plot of land septic-wise to support the multiple toilets and waste of a full blown apartment building. It is possible, but rare, and usually more cost effective to subdivide for individual housing units.I think you mean can't build apts when just Wells and septics are available? I didn't think of that. They need sewer lines and water lines.

For the first time in my life, I was told I had to make an appointment for a tire rotation. That’s because he didn’t have enough workers and couldn’t get any.
Not only that, but cars don’t even have a transmission dipstick anymore!
Most of those plants use illegals.I grew up in the country and my brothers worked on several neighboring farms... we weren't afraid of hard work or smelling like a barn. Then one of my brothers got a job at a local chicken processing plant...he would go to work and return home smelling SO bad that Mom would make him strip out of his clothes outside and scrub down with the garden hose.

I was speaking to a former LEO captain today that I have known most of my life. His in-laws own large chicken farms. They are killing most of their birds since the big meat processors can't get anyone to work for them. Even when they have an order, they cant schedule a truck because of the shortage of truckers. The workers are still at home on covid unemployment making more than the ever have before.
I mentioned this to a mutual friend, who owns a restaurant. He said there is a shortage of chicken wings in the restaurant industry and he is limited to two cases a week from his supplier. He told me that he is about to have to limit menu selections to pizza only, no more subs or wings because he is so short handed and can't get any one to work there. He told me that three competing businesses did not even open several days last week due to no one willing to work there. It put extra pressure on his business because the customers had less choices for this type of food.
I discussed all of the above with another friend who told me that his cousin just drove 250 miles from Miami to central FL to buy a truck load of drywall mud because there is none to be had in S. Florida at any price. He bought as much as his truck could hold and headed back south so he could finish the house he is working on.
When I got back to the shop my machinist was on the phone with a metal supplier trying to find out why our latest batch of billet aluminum, that was 45 minutes away this morning (And a week late) , ended up 110 miles away going the other direction. Once again, no trucks to deliver it from where it was, they will try to ship tomorrow from 3x farther away.
The above is just what I encountered TODAY. These commie demoncrats are deliberately trying to destroy this country so they can say "See, capitalism is a failure" and usher in communism.
And This is why I’m getting any and all surgeries that I may need to get done, Now.
And get any dental issues resolved if you can.
I’ve been warning my friends about this for the last three months now. V
A local sports radio station broadcaster said he had ordered a bicycle for his B-day last August 2020, and he just took delivery last week 4/28.
The local news station was saying bicycles are hard to come and parts even harder to find to fix the bike you have!
