Re: Not sure this was a good idea?
Many years ago I had a used 62 Ford 3/4 ton pickup.Had two lugnuts missing,one front,one rear.Put 40,000 miles on it.Probably hauled a 1,000 cords of firewood before engine blew. And we wonder how repair shops get away with charging $200.00 per hour&charge two hours for 1/2 hour job?212Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling With the Propane On
My propane supplier deliversd my home propane a couple of days ago.Guess what? The truck runs on propane.If you want to be afraid of something,be afraid of that 1/16" plastic gas tank with 100 to 200 gallons of gasoline in it waiting for a piece of road debris to puncture it.220Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dealer hourly rate
It's not the hourly rate so much as it is how much they pad the bill.I was quoted 6 1/2 hrs for replacing brushes&voltage regulator,did it myself in three&I didn't even work too fast.I was a tool&die maker for 40 years&believe me,Iknow how it's done.Was at my uncle's small engine shop once.Guy brought in a riding lawnmower,said the deck wouldn't raise.After he left ,uncle lookedunderneath,grabbed the steering wheel with one hand,other hand on the floor to brace himself,stuck his leg underneath,gave a good hard kick.Grabbed the lever &it worked perfectly.He said it was the easiest $60.00 he made all day.138Views0likes0CommentsRe: Unleashed dogs in campgrounds: A solution
How about This? About two weeks ago I was at a Steamshow in Wisconsin.Walking down one of the aisles,a big old Rotweiller dragging a 12 ft.leash & started sniffing on me,scared the heck out of me.Told the people in the booth where he came from their dog was loose.Their respone was: Oh! Thats O.K. he's ona leash.138Views0likes0Comments
