    Post times you should have died ...but didn't.

    11:22 1:46 3:09 5:37 6:54 8:12 Those are all of the times I can think of at the moment. Wait, there was this time I ate a bunch of brownies laced with pot. I thought I was dead because time was moving really, really, really, really slow. :-\ Also, the typical stuff that happens...

    Mortgage Rates

    Yes, this is what I was taught, too. Regardless, it's wise to determine how long it'll take before you recover the expense of refinancing.

    Oh how I hate Vista

    Everything I've heard about Vista has been negative, so I'll hold onto XP Pro. As for screen shots of selected areas, I've used Snagit quite a bit with very good results. At $40, it's not expensive and they have a 30-day trial version you can try out first. Brett, you no longer need to...

    Harbor Freight Torque Wrench?

    When I used to manage the tool and PMEL/TMDE programs for high-tech avionics shop, I dealt with several of the big-name torque wrench manufacturers. Proto was hit and miss. We had a few that seemed to work well and stay in calibration, but others were DOA and wouldn't calibrate under the max...

    A must read!!

    What's so "whacked" about not wanting to murder unborn children? If you're talking about those who murder abortion doctors, then I understand your point. If not, then the comparison is "whacked."

    help me pick a name

    Bill Detamore has a good reputation in the drumming community. That's a fine kit and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun playing it. Are you thinking about selling your old kit? If so, what is it? I may know someone looking for one.

    jeep wobble

    More than likely some component up front isn't tightened down. Go over everything you removed or loosened when you put the lift on and ensure it's torqued properly.

    Know of any welding jobs?

    A large company near the Ogden area just relocated a significant part of its operation to Idaho because they couldn't find enough welders here. A buddy of mine teaches welding at the DATC. I just interviewed him along with many of the adult students and discovered there is a very high demand...

    Vouchers

    Funny how people base their views strictly on their expeience with the schools they attended. Does it matter that I attended excellent public schools in one of the wealthiest areas of the country back east? How does that relate to a failing school in Ogden? How does your super-duper...

    my XJ

    That would be a Corporate 8.25, 27-spline. The later model XJs have the 29-spline, which is an easy swap.

    How your job came to be...

    A degree will definitely open doors that would otherwise be unavailable. It's true that some people land good jobs without a degree, but why limit yourself if you have the opportunity? Generally, companies pay more to those with degrees. As an example, my degree was almost completed when I...

    How your job came to be...

    A good starting point is to take inventory of your passions and then make a list of jobs that relate. Though I haven't read it in years, there's a book titled What Color is Your Parachute that outlines how to do this process. Too many people go strictly where the money is and end up...

    Upgraded my fuel injectors today...

    It's BG 44K and worth every penny. It usually runs about $25 a can. Call around to see who carries it or type your zip code in their "find a shop" web site. In my experience, most major parts stores like Autozone and Checker don't carry it. When using seafoam, I use the vacuum line from...

    What are they teaching them in school

    I have great appreciation for SPED teachers. My first experience was when my daughter was placed in Special Ed. Then, during my SPED classes at USU, I got a much better understanding of what these teachers do. It's very honorable work and I thank you for doing it. As it's commonly asked...

    What are they teaching them in school

    Good points, Wayne. I'll add that having well over 30 kids in a class doesn't help matters. Someone mentioned the bureaucracy. Education has become way too political; it's all about obtaining more money and controlling that money. Unfortunately, not enough of those funds are distributed...

    shop needed

    I got positive feedback from people I know about a place called Charlie's on 1900 (Main). That was 4 or 5 years ago, so not sure about it now. It's more of a drive, but I'm very happy with the service I get from Hepworth on 12th Street in Ogden.

    cherokee lift

    When I lifted to 7" it brought with it tons of issues. I lowered it to 6" and still had many more issues than when it was at 4". I definitely recommend a SYE kit and custom rear drive shaft (Tom Wood). This will allow you to ditch the TC lowering kit, too, which places too much stress on...

    Guinness Book Of World Records

    Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, and Quasimodo were all talking one day. Sleeping Beauty said, "I believe myself to be the most beautiful girl in the world." Tom Thumb said, "I must be the smallest person in the world." Quasimodo said, "I absolutely have to be the most tacky, rude, crude, gross &...
