Rodent Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Yesterday actually. Went to see the movie about Adolph Eichman's capture at a very nice theatre with assigned seating. I am getting used to classless people coming in after the theatre is dark and the previews start, but it was especially bad yesterday. And it was all old people! We are 58, but these people were all at least 70, and most couldn't see in the dark to find their seats. Of course, out came the cell phone flashlights. A couple came in after the movie itself started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PierreR89 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Not today but a few days ago. That a doctor told me what the problems with my hands are. They shake whenever i try to do something that requres small fine movements such as building models or using a screwdriver to release or tighten a screw. Apparently i have esential tremor (a neurological disorder) It usually gets passed along in the family but no side of my family has it so i am one of the "few lucky ones" that gets it for no known reason. Feels (something that would get me banned if i wrote it) that i am not even 30 years old yet and being told that i need to take medications for the rest of my life to keep it under control. It will only get worse with age and there is no cure for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see that around here. Last minute Facebookers and texters, but not voice. We love to blame millennials for everything rude and classless, but yesterday showed that some early baby boomers have forgotten how to behave in public. After the movie, we went grocery shopping. There was a late 60s couple that used a walker and a shopping cart to block all access to the heirloom tomatoes as they were squeezing all of them. No clue that there was anyone else on the planet that wanted to buy tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Gnats! One thing I liked about living west if Philadelphia was the absence of gnats and mosquitos, like in NJ. This season with all the damp, we have them in droves! Friggen annoying as we sit outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hate how hard the manufactures have made it to work on our cars. Had a water pump let go on our '10 Charger. I thought no problem I have always been able to do water pumps with my eyes closed. First off the pump can't even be seen, and the belt tensioner imposable to move. I had to surrender and pay the dealer $700 to get it fixed.

I bought a PT Cruiser to replace it... guess what went? Heater core! So $1200 later I have a new heater core and evaporator in this one!

NYLIBUD Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yea I'm preparing myself for a large car bill.I Haven't really had one on my 2000 XJ Cherokee.I've had it for about 5 years,and very little has ever went wrong with it.I Love the XJs.Mines lifted 6,1/2 inches,riding on 35sx12.5..The best little truck ever built in my opinion,except for the old Toyota FJs,land cruisers,Gotta get one of those..Anyway,I may have a friend who says he might want to put it in,but I'm nervous about him doing the job and not a shop.My friends like a freelance mechanic.He knows his stuff,definitely better than me.But the core replacement is a BIG job,on any car.I wouldn't do it.Well I'm gonna order the stuff,and see what happens.So much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 The sole function of the forum is to provide an environment for exchanging information about model cars and trucks. For me this is an oasis so that I can avoid the craziness of the world today. There are plenty of other venues for other topics. Facebook and Twitter are open forums for all topics including religion and politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yeah, as a mod, I can see the "deleted" threads. No matter how well intentioned you may be, or how you try to keep politics out of it, you simply cannot have a thread about a world leader without it getting heated. Especially if that thread is about you know who. Someone will eventually post something, and someone will counter, and pretty soon, it's a complete cluster, people are angry, we've locked/deleted a thread, and then people will gripe about that. There's just no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 An 8mm bolt yesterday. I needed to replace the battery tray on my '08 Mustang . Ordered the tray online but they don't provide attaching hardware, which is only three 8mm bolts. Replacement should be simple, right? Anyone who's ever worked on a car knows what happened next. 2 bolts came right out like they should. That's just to sucker you in, and give you a false sense of security. The third bolt froze, and no combination of sockets/wrenches/lube/profanity would move it. I finally got it out with the Redneck Universal Tool & Emergency Steering Wheel - Vise-Grips.

iamsuperdan Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 When you're having a conversation, and you talk about your own personal experiences, and then someone pipes in to explain how you're wrong. Wait a sec...I'm wrong? I'm telling you exctly what happened to me - my actual experience with something, and you're telling me that I am incorrect? Especially when their arguement is that they have experienced it differently. The next thing I typically think and sometimes say cannot be repeated in this forum.
