A blinking LED would last many times longer than a bulb. I think right between the eyes would be a better place for it, too. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Actually it will adjust the timing, & if a high input situation would retard timing (make it think it's knocking) then yes I could very easily see that dropping your overall MPG, losing some power, & overheating/melting the converter. The problem is, you don't know if the knock sensor is bad or something up-stream of it, & without a service manual all you can do is throw parts at it. Even with a service manual these things can be really difficult to diagnose & trace. The service manual for my 68 Dart is 8-1/2X11 & 1.5" thick. The electrical diagrams in the service manual for my 94 F-150 is twice the thickness of my Dart manual, and that's only the engine management! The body electrical is another volume the size of my Dart manual (which BTW covers Dart, Coronet, & Charger), then the mechanical volumes (2) & you end up with literally thousands of pages of confusion. Yes, it can be overwhelming at times. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

OK, it's common knowledge that I'm undergoing intensive therapy to cope with the death of the English language. But, DUDE! What the F*CK is a "YKINMK??!!" Please don't make me up my dosage. Ya' Know, It's Not My Kink I think you and mcswervy went to the same school for abbreviations.... Can't say for her, but I picked it up from a S&M site I stumbled across last year. That's my story & I'm sticking to it! And I just now realized I got it wrong. It's actually "Your Kink Is Not My Kink". When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Hey, it's not raining. Get out there & cut the lawn! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Consider yourself virtually bitch-slapped. If I can quit cold-turkey after 38 years, I expect you to, too! Might be a good time to give up the beers, too! Your waist (waste) line will thank you! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Meh. I think 165-170should be enough . If you cook it until the digital thermometer says 180F, you will have dry, chewy chicken/turkey. Oh! Someone's been taking lessons from my mother! Couple years ago, Thanksgiving, she says, "The button popped up in the turkey, so I cooked it an extra hour just to be sure." My brother made the non-traditional "4th of July corned beef without cabbage" dinner. Damn, was that good. Talk about tender... Damn thing fell apart when a fork approached it!

Hello!!!!

You been listening to The Misfits again? And you're both dating yourselves! Damn kids... When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Thanx. I turned 18 that summer. Now I feel so damn old I want to cry. I remember, & can sing along with, every one of them, & could in 1972! When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name No one recognized me, I didn't look the same When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Yo! Antifreeze is expensive! Water works just as well! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Ah...well I would say it's trying to start then. Once started, it runs ok....it kind of has that low chug, chug, chug sound but it doesn't turn off. Well, it hasn't yet! That says to me the problem is ignition of fuel. If it starts rough & gets smoother, I suspect 10 year old spark plug wires, if they were never changed, would be the first thing I throw away & replace. Plugs also. If the fuel pump was weak the engine wouldn't pull under heavy load. If it was really bad injectors it would never smooth out. I keep coming back to the ignition system. Decades ago, when I was desperately poor, I had a car that had bad plug wires. When it started cold, it ran on about 4 cylinders. I'd nurse the car down the street to the stop sigh & about there it would start to run on 5 cylinders. About a half mile down the road the wires would warm enough that the engine would finally run on all 6 cylinders. When I finally scraped together the extra $4 & replace the wires it ran like new again (it was a 68 Falcon 170 inch 75 horsepower, 3-on-the-tree, stripped basic transportation).

I'd complain loud & long at the cable company. Ultimatum time: Fix this crap or I go satellite! We went to satellite from cable 4 years ago & the difference in picture quality is astounding. Audio quality is improved like video quality is also! My audio outputs are split. One set runs to the TV, one set to the old Pioneer SX-727 receiver/amp (makes a good FM signal sound like the DELUX 3 Watt push-button AM radio in my 68 Dart!).

Lunch box I really REALLY wanted: Time Tunnel W/thermos Lunch box I received: Beverly Hillbillys w/o thermos At least it wasn as lame as my brother's Green Acres box... I envied those that "brown bagged" it, & my last lunch box was my favorite. It was a red & black tartan pattern with nothing else on it. Changing schools in 6th grade (1966) ended carrying lunch until I joined the real work force after 4 years serving Uncle Sugar.

At 26 I had 50+. At 55 now, I'd like to think of myself as an educator. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Yeah, you're right. We're just a breeding ground for hockey players and good beer. Cheers! CHEERS! With my lovely, cold Keith's Premium White! Cheers! When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Yep, a nice 8" or 10" mortar, a cascade or two, & a good LOUD report at the end! I know a guy did the garbage bag oxy/acetylene thing back in about 1973. Here's how he did it: Start the torch & set the levels to get a good flame for cutting, then he put out the flame & stick the torch head into a 55 gallon garbage bag & zip-tied it shut with a 6 foot toilet paper fuse. Jerry put his bag in the tree in his front yard. That's a mistake I suggest you avoid! He blew most of the leaves off the tree. Took a couple years for the tree to fully recover. I could totally enjoy setting one off now that I can do it in the middle of a couple acres of field. Wouldn't want to do one that big in the suburbs, though. Even a bag only the size of a bowling ball would give a good loud bang if the mixture was correct. Static can be a problem in some places. NJ in July isn't one of those places.

Haven't seen an M-80 in 40 years. It was another step up from "cheery bomb" size. Firecracker is to cheery bomb, like cherry bomb is to M-80. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Tried playing with one about 30 years ago & it seemed to be more sensitive to the muscles in my forehead than my thoughts. I fooled the machine into thinking I was comatose by relaxing all my facial muscles! I had more fun playing with the heart beat monitor I was hooked to overnight in the CCU after my stent was installed last November. If I tried, I could get my heart beat to slow enough to make the alarm sound off. It took a while to figure out what the alarm was for, but once I did, it didn't take too long until I could make it beep after about 30 seconds to a minute of meditation. After a couple hours the nurse set the alarm 5 BPM lower. Without the alarm distracting me I managed to drop my heart rate another 3 & 4 beats per minute, but just couldn't make that last one.
