Re: TIRES
I don't know where you guys are getting tires from but ones for my pickup are not cheap. Yeah, I got the Road Hazard warranty, net cost to me Free, Zero, Nada, nothing. When you shop for tires use your head. Second rule I have, try to buy USA made tires whenever possible.399Views0likes0CommentsRe: Route Chicago to St Augustine

If he goes that route he misses Atlanta traffic :B and it would be nice to bypass Nashville to. When he gets to Florida just take 10 over to St. Augustine .261Views0likes0CommentsRe: Short in house wiring
Once again get a "real" electrician, if the GFI trips with nothing else connected and how do you know? I have a little device that plugs into an outlet and in this case you would have to bypass that gfi by installing a standard one, and reconnect all the disconnected ones. Now I can ID everything on that circuit by the tone with the other part of the tester. Saves disconnecting. You might very well find what have disconnected are not, and those wires go to something else. Usually in those days 1999, only bathrooms, kitchens and outside outlets needed to be gfi protected.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Us getting Older, and dogs crossing Rainbow Bridge
No one unless they are a dog owner how hard it is to lose a furry friend. I've lost two in the past 20 years. Our black lab was the hardest one to say good by to. I am sorry for your loss, all dogs go to heaven And they are waiting for us.192Views0likes0CommentsRe: Short in house wiring
Did you try a new GFI? Do that first and don't buy the cheap POS ones! They work on milliamps. measures the current going out on the hot wire vs coming back on the neutral. So a little moisture on the black or hot wire would cause that leakage. Call a "real" electrician, not a low voltage RV tech. The GFI measures that leakage down stream from the outlet, so running new power from the CB panel will do diddly.361Views0likes0CommentsRe: Carrying spare bearing question

FYI are you aware either complete or parts of MRI machines are made in China whatever the supplier wants to pay. A old line US company no less. Since my Timken bearings have USA etched right on them, my guess is they are not made in a country noted for making cheap junk. After inspecting and measuring dimensions and angles on the junk bearings, I decided to go with a proven brand. I am glad you found a Timken bearing made in USA wish they all were, but they also have plants in India, China and who else knows where. They are a Global industry just like GM and John Deere. ****.473Views0likes0CommentsRe: Carrying spare bearing question
