    Self Checkout---Like 'em or hate 'em?

    I absolutely hate them and avoid them where ever possible. Maybe I'll go through them if I just have one quick item but that's it. At the grocery store, never. Rarely do you ever scan a full cart without a problem and if you pick up any beer or wine, it stops and a customer service person...

    Boat insurance; again

    I just received my renewal from Geico and the agreed value clause I had since I bought the boat new has now been specifically stricken from the policy. Now the total loss replacement is the current value of the boat.

    Dealership Service Advice

    One thing I would be worried about is the original complaint you had when you got it back the first time. You said, "I went to start it and I heard what sounded like grinding, then when it warmed up a little it sounded like a diesel with a 4” muffler on it". This sounds to me like a...

    The Official 450 Express Bridge Owners Club

    A good chance this is the culprit. I had to replace mine a couple of times over the years. https://www.wholesalemarine.com/shurflo-pressure-regulating-fresh-water-fill-wall-mount.html?gclid=CjwKCAiAwc-dBhA7EiwAxPRylOszTRCfD8xAC2Wj12rXle1pSRTXqqDc6SdCVfdFZyVwvfICQxA8yhoCtVwQAvD_BwE

    Can a Rookie remove an engine ?

    Exactly. I agree 100%. He has no experience at all by his own admission. Not even basic tools. Don't encourage him to tackle this kind of job as his first foray into mechanics. It will sadly probably end in an expensive disaster.

    How about a non-political question?

    Unfortunately the new ones no longer come with that button. The dealer told me they could no longer code that function out of the cars. Well, they lied. Bimmercode software and an OBDII reader took care of it permanently.

    How about a non-political question?

    All the car makers are doing it now. It's because of government fuel requirements and while it technically saves fuel, it isn't much. The EPA estimates it saves 3 to 10 percent of range. Of course I don't believe that for a millisecond. It does tax and wear your starter and anyone who claims...

    LED lighting causing OTA signal loss

    Cheap LED's can affect the frequencies of many devices. I had a problem with my garage door opener. It just stopped working at times. One car worked and the other didn't etc. Read an article about cheap LED's and remembered I had changed the bulb in the garage door motor to an LED. Took the...

    a wonderful story from Florida

    I have no interest in the reason a criminal has to break into my house and I'm certainly not going to risk my life or my family's life to ask him or her why they decided to illegally enter my home. I don't care about the criminal's poor family life or the fact he lost his little toy when he was...

    I've had similar problems with those damn jellyfish also. While in Cape May one weekend, many people in the marina had their AC units shutoff due to jellies clogging the intake. Mine shut off as well. Guy next to me was telling me that he had to hire a diver twice that weekend to have them...

    Knot 10 Yachet Sales

    Knot 10 was the listing broker for my boat. I listed it in Atlantic City and it was purchased by a buyer in Florida. Knot 10 handled everything. After closing, the money was wired into my account. Easy as could be. Sounds like they have a lazy sales person on board unfortunately. As the...

    Job offer, "chasing" money, career changes and the like

    I think these bullet points at the end of your post would answer the question for me.

    Radiator shop MD, Del, NJ

    I know one of the owners, Art Barstow. While I haven't had the need to use his service, I know others that have and they were impressed. He is also a hell of a nice guy.

    Current state of affairs - anxiety about buying a boat

    I think without question the pricing will drop to whatever normal levels should be. How long that will be is the only question in my mind. I have some friends in the boat brokerage business. They feel prices have peaked and they are seeing some boats that they sold within the last 2 years...
