Bob, I use the Chase Visa Amazon rewards card, as a last resort I called them, the woman checked and verified me and my account, listened to what I had to say. After I explained the situation, she told me, "I am going to save you a lot of time, you can not address this with the Chase credit card, yo...

Yeah, thanks guys. I am not sure exactly why they will not honor it from Amazon, I filed twice for reconsideration and they tell to read the A-Z rules, they tell me they will call with a final determination March 5th, some time back they said they stood by their decision (declining a refund) but wil...

I was just reading the thread E Bay Dispute and was going to post this in that thread, but it is different and new to me about Amazon . Their service is slipping/changing. I bought a new computer on Amazon, one reason I like Amazon is the good service and sold backup, but maybe not so much now. ****...

In heating equipment, natural gas, propane, coal, it is all too easy to produce CO. As a mechanical contractor when I lived in Alaska, I had test equipment, Bacharach, Lynn analyzer O2. CO, CO2, and other equipment, what surprised me was that while you can get fuel oil, stove oil, (in the kerosene c...

Being from Alaska we used to call them Snow Machines, not sure why we didn't usually say snow mobile. The thing I noticed is you said 45 y/o, I just could not trust a 45 y/o machine to take me out to the boonies and be sure to get me back home. We used to take the machines 15-25 miles into cabins fo...

What is it they say: No good deed goes unpunished. Over 25 years I often had employees in my business, most of them younger than myself, and some better than others, lol. My last employee as I was downsizing, was a friend of ours son who had dropped out of college, his mother asked me to hire him an...

Our condolences to you and family.

This is a great thread but seems to have attracted a troll.

I did some of the same things as well as others sometime back, labeled salvage a generator. There are times when you need to fix what you have in hand! Like out camping. Not to mention experimenting can just be fun.

Glad to be able to say I get my first vaccine shot this afternoon, it was not easy to get one set. The VA has no where to sign up, no info on how/where to register, timeline, nada. So I looked to the county, nope, then out of the blue I get an email telling me to go to (my) MyChart site for Renown H...

Our condolences.

It is a good post, something most of us are concerned about. There may be an element here that might want to take it political, please don't. This is such an important topic to most of us.

Call this morning:

This is the second call on your vehicle warranty .....

It is such BS, it was at least the hundredth call on my vehicle warranty!!

Ok great and hope you enjoy using it, sending PM for information.

Ok, not yet, but I will add a number between 1 and 10, first that gets that wins, for those that tried a letter, now try a number too, other do both a number and a letter, number or letter wins.

Not those, it is a different letter. And I agree with JimL above these can be very handy. It is one of the most used letters in the banner. As I am thinking about it..... even if you have smart TV, these can add features the TV might not have, and apps the TVs don't have. You can browse the internet...

In the last few years I bought a few of these, like for my son and his kids, my neighbor, the extra TV in the house, slowly they cam back as those users bought smart TVs that didn't need a smart TV box. Well I am trying to clean up boxes of stuff I don't use and dang I found another one of these, it...

I got a cheap one at Harbor Freight some years back, it had a very modest.... worthless transducer in it. But hey it was really cheaply priced, lol.

Yeah I have to agree with that, we saw a couple of those too, one was, I think, the person had not stopped moving into place and the gun wasn't flush or maybe not straight on.

Several people I know say they are not getting the vaccine, me, as soon as I can get it and the sooner the better. In basic training for the Army at Ft. Ord, Calif, I knew a big strapping guy that every time we got a vaccination, he would faint, just faint and drop to the ground, oh man, I felt bad ...

Yep, had to remove some posts in the thread, one poster clearly wants to be heard (repeatedly) with a strong political slant.

Please all, for the enjoyment of everyone, leave to political stuff to those forums that invite it, we don't want it here.

Ed, as Mod.

Ok, no pics should be lost, but..... a few will not display because the SQL server (Database) sees them as timothym11.sg-host, so the post/thread is ok but not always so much as the pictures loading. This came about early in the migration new posts etc. And maybe a few others who kept logging in usi...

I keep getting this message Attackers might be trying to steal your information from timothym11.sg-host.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). and This server couldn't prove that it's timothym11.sg-host.com; its security certificate is from giowm1169.siteground.biz.

Ok, good!

Members: a change for a few that might be using the temporary URL (timothym11.sg-host.com) when we were moving to this new site.

They are doing something right: USPS I ordered this on 12/16, got it today 12/17. We have community keyed mail boxes, one set at each end of the street. BTW: delighted with the lamp too! 2 ea power outlets, 3 ea USB outlets, led three brightness levels and choose between warm white, daylight, cool w...

PM Murff with as much detail as you can, likely we can go back and save it one way or another.

The short answer is that not everything migrated as it should have. It had nothing to do with being a current or passed CCF member.

When I opened this thread and saw the picture I thought OMG....

Thanks for the kind comments, we try to get it right.

Regards

Yes it it!

Actually I think they, all of them, have done pretty well under the circumstances. The USPS had some purposefully degraded facilities, sorting machines removed, other restructuring in 2020 that might have not been the best idea. A little over a week ago I sent a priority mail box to a friend in Alas...

Hopefully we will figure out something that is easier, it was not intuitive at first, but now seems easy to use for me. Members suggestions about image hosting (postimage.org) and others above can be an easy fix. Lets give this thread a break for awhile, I see some tense posting starting. Thread is ...

I am pretty disappointed in how this thread evolved. It has politics, religion, and candidly ugliness. Here is this original thread, lets start over: Remembering John #1 Post by 12057dave » Tue Dec 08, 2020 2:50 pm It was 40 years ago today that we lost a fine singer/song writer. I was watching the ...

From a PM, for everyone. Setting your local time: User control panel,

I hope someone has heard from him, please report.

From some pvt messages, I want to reiterate the last paragraph of the post above: It can not be over stated the difference in "mineral spirits" and "low odor mineral spirits". VM&P (Varnish Maker and Painter's Naphtha) is not at all included in "Low Odor" category. No one should consider this an end...

Hey Andy, I was avoiding making a statement on that, lol. I first read about this from people using low odor mineral spirits in heaters for marine use, to keep odor down. I was surprised to find it was a common practice. Once I found out that some low odor mineral spirits had a higher flash point th...

Early kerosene volatility varied greatly when it emerged out of the "coal oil" days. Rockefeller named his new oil company Standard Oil, referring to a consistent, dependable kerosene product, removing and dumping lighter Alkanes, that became to be known as gasoline.

This "low odor" mineral spirits thing is an old debate and has been kicked around for years. Let me say there is a huge difference between mineral spirits and low odor mineral spirits, as well as paint thinner and low odor paint thinner. Here is a chart I did with foot notes from some years back, th...

BTW, locally in most places where you can find a petroleum distributor, you can purchase "stove oil" from the pump that meets the low sulfur standard and is the same as #1 diesel without the road tax .

Old standards used K-1 and K-2 to regulate a common standard for the weight of the fuel, and hydro carbon range, after low sulfur standards came out these pretty much are not used any longer, except to relate as K-1" stove oil, #1 fuel, #1 Diesel, and K-2 as heavier fuel, #2 fuel, #2 diesel, etc. Th...

Hope for the best possible outcome.

This morning it was Billy Joel, ELO, I am eclectic in my music too, like all kinds of stuff, 50s-80s in RocknRoll, all R&B and Blues, old big band stuff even though that stuff was way before my time, you can throw in Country, Reggie, Classical, and some Latin. Listened to this also: https://youtu.be...

Bless you and her, Ed

On Coleman 200 where the frame is inside the globe that clear VHT turns brownish, but it only looks like normal color use! it does better anywhere the frame posts are outside the globe I noticed.

Before the migration we deleted a great many pictures to reduce cost at the old forum, mostly from Just Bull and private messaging (in messaging there were thousands there). Some were reviewed and removed from other forum categories as well. We moved 5GB of files and images in the transition. A few ...

Once used that carb cleaner Berryman's, (sp), it was awesome, but they changed the formula few years ago, now it is not near as effective as it used to be.

This is very popular forum software, the old forum was based on this PHPBB as well. We had to pay an outside group to migrate the forum for us (expensive too). Then we went in and made some modifications, extremely limited mods. We are using one of the latest versions of PHPBB ver.3.3.1, and while i...

I gotta ask... do they taste like chicken? In some cultures I think they are eaten, pretty sure I would not be into trying some, lol

I have gone back to find info for some members who forgot how they spelled their handle etc. stuff like that, also what email address they had used to help migrate, they had chenged email address or not used that email address in a long time, we can go into the new member account and change the emai...

Pictures were set at 256kB, now I I think it is 228KB, there is a lot of work to be done yet, picture auto resizing is on the list.

Dang, you da Man!
