The Alpha 1’s in 1987 that were behind the 454 / 330hp Magnum package had a 1:32 gear ratio.

Is the boat a 1987? We bought a new 87 Baja with the 454 and Alpha One drive, It was the first year for the 454 package without a TRS drive. To make the Alpha drive live with the torque of the big block they changed the gear ratio and a few other things. This was a one year only package...

At our KC house there is a ordnance against soliciting. You put this sticker by the doorbell that the city gives you, it says, "No Soliciting" and the law number. If anyone rings your doorbell you get their card and turn them in and the city really goes after them. They learn real quick, we...

Me in 1974 at LOTO with the slalom ski from a pair of Cypress Gardens Dick Pope Jr wooden skis. I'm still amazed I could do this with a flat bottomed ski with those little rubber bindings. Skiing is getting rare at LOTO these days, the water is too rough unless you get up early. Kids are more...

My dad owned a Buick dealership in Iowa in the late 50's and into the 60's. Somewhere I have a photo of me and my two sisters standing up in the back seat of a white convertible with red interior. He always brought home the coolest cars. Unfortunately I was too young to remember much, I just...

We have some people that stream live on TikTok, streaming live doesn't work switching back and forth from WiFi to cell service when they are on the dock then out in the boat miles away from the dock. I should have mentioned that in my first post, WiFi isn't an option.

Our cell signal is great, I can see the tower a 1/2 mile away from our deck. There is just no signal under the dock roof. I was thinking an antenna on top of the dock getting the good signal, then rebroadcast the signal under the roof. I assume the roof will stop the RF being seen from the...

Here at LOTO we have docks with metal roofs. Getting a phone signal while on the dock is spotty at best and the house WiFi is too far away. Do cell boosters work very well in this situation? I see some are $500 and up to cover a whole house, but our dock roof is only 35' x 35' so I thought a...

We would collect old condensers in auto shop when a car got a tuneup. We then charged them up and tossed them to an unsuspecting student who reflexively caught them and got a good shock.

Personally I don't like the newer style steering wheels with the huge center hubs. I think Jay Dubs setup would be nice with blue to match your gauges.

A good friend of mine had a co-worker that was worried about the city catching him adding on a garage to the back of his house without a permit. Big mistake, the friend had me call him and say I was a building inspector and he needed to come in and file for a permit and pay a $2500 fine. I...

The transgender day thing has been around for 10+ years I think. The date is always March 31st. The Easter date changes each year and it just so happens to fall on March 31st. The stupidity of Biden is: On Easter and during an election year, he can't just sit back and let it pass. Instead he...

158k on my original 2010 GMC brake pads and they don't even look half worn out.

Sorry for your loss. I love the idea of a custom size lift that is as wide as the space, the 3' around the outside of my lift is wasted space. The key to this IMO if you also have the height for a lift to walk under it comfortably without stooping over. I don't have enough height in my garage...

TMZ interviewed an eyewitness that said the guy started shooting while spinning in a circle. If that’s true, the police story is sure a bunch of bull, unless the “dispute” was with everyone in red.

Smell is definitely sewer gas and definitely coming from the overflow hole. If I plug it, no smell at all. All pipes and overflow drains are clean. I'll check if smell is there when you turn on both hot and cold.

I didn't go to the parade this year. Reports of one dead. Prayers to everyone involved.

I've got double bathroom sinks that have worked fine for years. I replaced the faucets and drains (pop up drain vs the knob you pull up). Now when you turn on the water you get a sewer gas smell coming out of the sink over flow holes. There is no smell any other time if you don't turn on the...

I added 4k to my YouTube TV subscription for the SB. Go Chiefs!

We got lucky, all three of our kids have their heads screwed on right with a good work ethic. 29 year old daughter, works remote for huge company, good job but need to find more $$ to move from a renter to a owner. 27 year old son does okay, works in social services, so more rewarding than...
