If you play that CD backwards, your truck gets fixed, your dog/horse comes back from the dead, your hangover disappears, and your wife returns to you.

.... for a while....then you have to rodent proof it again. It's like mowing the lawn. No matter how well you do it, it'll have to be done again...and again....

We lost my mother to cancer when she was 56...four years younger than I am now. She was walking and living kindness and grace here on Earth, ...and her birthday is Nov. 26th. Yep. I feel for you, Tim. Will be thinking about you, and being thankful for YOUR help and friendship...

Holidays are only depressing if you dwell on what you don't have, instead of giving thanks for what you do have, and rejoicing in the blessings from whatever power greater than yourself you are willing to accept. This year is tough... we had a big Thanksiving planned, and for the first time in...

Without sounding glib hopefully, but perhaps you are an unusual case, and past data may indicate that the majority of people with your previous diagnoses and suicidal ideations and attempts are, indeed, a much greater risk to themselves and others in an airplane or with heavy ordnance in their...

I vaguely recalled something like that, which is why I included "... or at least that you don't have the freedom to move around and use those explosives, heavy ordnance, and 60mm mortars as you wish.... " Thanks for making it clearer... I remember that thread now. There certainly seems to be...

Because being around a virus that has little or no lasting effect on the vast majority of people is just has heroic as being in military combat, and the loss of life or limb is just as probable. Please, stop the hyperbole. I am grateful for medical workers and the good they do, I take Covid...

Some should.

I would assume the "Feds" trust you to handle those things under direct orders and supervision of commanding officers, or at least that you don't have the freedom to move around and use those explosives, heavy ordnance, and 60mm mortars as you wish. A more apt parallel would be the "Feds"...

I don't know much, but my initial reaction would be that it would depend upon the part. There are some parts that I wouldn't particularly enjoy its telling me it's time to replace it while I was in the air. Maintenance-induced failure could, perhaps more correctly, be called...

Manual, rwd... my unwavering requirements for my main daily driver. Oh... and relatively cheap. Getting almost impossible these days. Sure miss my E36. Last of the great ones. Best $8500 I ever spent, vehicularly speaking.

Who are you, and what have you done with Schmookeeg?

Thanks...yeah, I know how the math works,but when folks don't mention it I get nervous for the folks who don't.

Too late to the party, but I was going to recommend looking for an '89-'92 Volvo 240. Mileage would not be an issue, unless it's over 300k. Last I looked could be at for around $1k give or take. Easy to wrench. Bulletproof engine. They don't call them Swedish Bricks for nothing. I've owned two...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a fish scale's reading would be a measure of the force applied at a given point along the arm (wrench), and not even remotely a measurement of torque applied at the bolt or nut. Should I assume we are talking about converting that reading into actual.torque via...

And get off my lawn..... ;) I used to get madstrated (mad and frustrated) at times to the point of apoplexy during difficult repair jobs, but over the years that kind of faded. Now, I've adopted more of a "there's always a next time, tomorrow, nineteenth attempt, or a way to earn some money to...

@AKiss20 ... You raise some pretty insightful questions, and I certainly don't have the answers. Just for the sake of further rumination, I've inserted some thoughts below.. Obviously, where the bar is placed for what you can and can't handle entirely on your own is the critical factor. In an...

While helping my A&P with the annual on a Bo today, he was under the panel while I was doing my untrained gorilla work of removing, cleaning, and testing spark plugs. Every once in a while, I'd hear special magic words float out across the hangar from within the aircraft, with the most common...

As an aside, I've never really liked the phrase "the science." The use of the article "the" makes a singularity the only possible interpretation of data, and that's just not the way science works. The people consistently using that phrase ... "the science"... are almost always the very same...

Thanks for the reply, Peter. As a complete layperson, I'd postulate the answer to that question may lie in the amount of space the virus would have to travel from the person expelling the virus to the mask. If the infected person was wearing the mask, the virus' ability to bridge the distance...
