  1. Well then, if you want to do it on your own, we can help with info maybe. But if you don't like wrenching, that would be maybe a different story.
  2. I hugged both Dave and Elaine, and don't get awfully upset when I say that Elaine hugs much better,,,, @dogman is not bad at it mind you, but has a long way to go to get as good as Elaine. And just so there is not question on partiality, Sally hugs better than @saddlebum.
  3. It's really a hit and miss and when a part goes bad the results are very seldom identical. When a piston blows, does it always take out the high side? or when a tire blows out does it always send you for the ditch? Get my drift? You have a stuck something somewhere, and I wouldn't be looking in the clutch basket first because it's the most work. A u-joint can break and it happens, it's not unheard of. For the time it takes, shine a flashlight into the driveshaft container and take a peek at the joint, it should be loose and movable, then move on from there. If the joint is tight, start your thinking from there. If the problem isn't at the joint and your discovery session at the basket doesn't show you anything, then you'll have to pull the engine and turn it upside down to open up the gearbox,, let's hope not,, and you would the first one to have such an issue,,, that I have heard of,,,,, not that I hear everything, I am getting older and my wife tells me I don't hear her mumblings so well anymore. Keep us posted eh!
  4. You could contact MICarl, think he is in Flint.
  5. What kind of shape is the u-joint in, is it loose?
  6. I really think this is a good idea,,,,, that way we can all laugh at both of you.
  7. Couple of clarifications needed. - what exactly do you mean by: lost all power, what did you notice. - Did you pull the drive shaft out of the bike completely. - could be the u-joint just outside of the transmission.
  8. Had a great time, even if I had to sit beside the Bummer. Thanks Ben for setting this up. Marca was not all that happy about having to stay at home,,, but hey, somebody had to watch the livestock eh? In attendance were: Evan and Anne Wayne and Robin Thomas and Sally and grand daughter Abdul Carl Andrew and Elaine Mike and Tammie Corry Ben Dave the dogman And the waitress, who didn't get any hugs at all that I noticed. Turns out that Elaine (her first time out) is a really good hugger and voted to be invited again.
  9. I run with Windows 10 and my wife still uses windows 7. We are both happy campers, but I would not change from 7 if my computer had come with it. As it is, my computer came with 10 and since then I have disabled all the communications that it wants to do on a regular basis. Not sure if I have the first version but it is an earlier version. Works ok for me, but then I don't usually go for new programming, play games etc. I just type some letters, and surf some,watch some youtube... simple stuff,,,now have no problems,,,, yet.
  10. I would think it indicates one of them there boost starters,, oh wait, that term was already used,,, so maybe a booster pack, or power pack,,, or something likeathat., Some may call it a thingamajiggy, or whatsucalit.
  11. Well the forecast is out,,,,, and just to make things real pretty, they are calling for SNOW. Not too much mind you, just a couple of inches,,,,, not a good time to cook at home I think.
  12. Not being parted, but iffin you had said so sooner I might have saved those stickers,, but, as it is,, the hood may be busy making a new Ford by now
  13. Nobody believes the net anymore these days,,,, and what are you doing betting,,, you just know with betting there are always losers.
  14. And Blessings to all for 2020. May you discover all that has meaning in this life, to be of great benefit to you and yours.

  16. Guess the escapie is Eric, the other hasn't reported as of yet. Gas was for the other guy, and it wasn't an S10 but a Dakota seemingly, at least there was a Dakota sign stuck in the front end of our truck. As far as getting a lawyer,,,, nah, not going to happen at this point anyways. And as for comments, the only thing keeping you from making any is that the return might not be what you are looking for.
  17. OHHHHH you guys are good!!!!
  18. This can be a hard thing to deal with this time of year, but then any time is not necessarily any better. May you all find many blessings during the time of mourning and funeral arranging. It's not a 'party' that we want to plan for or look forward to for sure!. Here's why I say: blessing. We just celebrated Christmas, which would be the birth and arrival of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. The reason He came was so that we would no longer have to face the fear of destructive death, but rather have the opportunity to accept His offer and pass on to eternal life. I think we tend to forget that fact. So if you have not met Him yet, and accepted that free ticket to heaven, then maybe you should give it some thought.
  19. That is a BIG OUCH!!! May you and Linda find peace even in this event. Bad break for sure. We will ask for a speedy recovery for Linda and patience for you as well.
  20. Looking forward to once again spend time with all you folks, but in the meantime,,,, Blessings as you celebrate this season.
  21. It's that time of year again, always happens right around this time. We are all busy celebrating and then there are those who get forgotten. Why??? Not really all their fault eh, it just so happens that they were born about this time of year and so their birthday happens to land right when we are the least interested in the congratulations part. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those who miss out on birthday celebrations because of Christmas. That doesn't make Christmas a bad thing at all,,, it's just one of those things!! Special wishes to Bob, aka @Dragonslayer.
  22. May the blessings that come with Christmas be there for you and yours, and may the peace that is offered to all, be found in your hearts and minds as well.
  23. Bet that info was worth a few bucks eh?
  24. Maybe wrong time of year,,, Moped's bike didn't want to wake up either.
  25. Wish every blessing to you and yours during this season, not only now though,, I will go for the whole year.
