In a word....get pigs. They love bamboo and will turn it into.................wait for it.................bampoo!!! (I kill me)

Just to punish me for my making light of AT6's plight,
my boy returned home from his bike ride sans bike. He parked it in front of a gas station to get a drink and it was gone when he came out.
Surely someone mistook it for a "community bike". Why else would it be lying there saying "Take me."?

That's really sad to hear. Stinking thieves are everywhere. Hopefully your son's bike will be recovered. At least that's what I"m praying for.

Strange, my father was of the same opinion back in the forties...

I doubt it. Grabbing an unlocked bike isn't high on the cops' priority list. Over the years we've had thefts from the yard, our vehicles, a home invasion (guy crawled through an unsecured window while we were sleeping, and left the front door wide open when he left.) When we call the police, they give us a case # and tell us to call them if we find out anything new. Now if you call about someone waving a gun....

H*LL!!!!!!!!!! When did Minnesota become a county in California?

 

[Greg Boeser]

It's not. All maps show Minnesota as a colony of New York.

Do you know what's worse than most of the warning lights on you cars dash panel coming on 100 miles from home on one of the hottest days of the year.

It's when they all start going out again!!! That's when the real problems start!!! Luckily, I was only 50 miles from home when that happened.

Hopefully, you will get everything sorted out. You must have one the newer all computerized cars.

Yeah it's a 2010 Ford Escape.

Took a massive u-turn on Friday, and the battery indicator came on almost immediately and the air conditioning went out. I though "Uh-Oh" this cant be good".
Drove quite a while in hope to get closer to home before it died (I figured the Alternator went out). Got closer to home and I noticed the power steering was getting sluggish when I had to slow down. Decided to roll windows up in case it died (remember its nearly 100 degrees F and no air conditioning so things got hot in a hurry).
Went a bit further and all kinds of lisght started coming on, though to myself "things are nearing the end".
Next town over had to stop at a light, that's when all the warning lights went out completely, and this time I couldn't accelerate when the traffic light turned green, no power steering, felt like the brakes are locked up, car is shutting like mad and felt like it was going to tear appart.
Managed to get it into a parking lot and called for a ride. Took the battery out, went home, and charged it up.
Next morning drove out and put the battery in and started right up, drove 50 miles home (luckily). Drive belt was gone (it was there before).
Ended up being an old belt (I think it stretched out in that u-turn) and a bad belt tentioner. Still cost around $125 to fix, but at could have been worse.
Thankfully the water pump was driver by another belt, and not on the serpentine belt everything else is run on.

It's always better than not getting old.

It still beats rigor mortis.

What? You don't like the itch?

Everyday the talking bobbleheads on TV yapping about stuff they have no clue about. There is also academics who never had a real job to practice their theories on.

I don't like sweat running into my eyes and trying to wipe it way with my glass dust covered glove.

2 hours of restless sleep last night, my backside (aka A$$) is dragging today.

Spending the entire 5 day heatwave resurrecting and installing a defunct air conditioner in a pool of sweat, then wake up the next morning and heat wave is over and it's 48°F outside, and the A/C is still running full tilt!
Cheers,

PS: Don't ever accept (even if it's a free donation) an "it ran last time I tried it" air conditioner from the household of a chain smoker with five cats! No matter how much it tempts you to show off your mechanical wizardry. Worse than cleaning airliner cabin outflow valves back in the bad old days before they banned in-flight smoking. Peeyuww!! It was eight pounds lighter when I got it working properly.
