My sense of adventure in these matters having been satisfied many times, especially in 20F temperatures, gave the truck to mechanics to take care of.
Yup, I'm done crawling around under vehicles too. I don't even change the oil anymore.

I agree! I'm planning on a lift so I can scoot around under vehicles sitting on my butt! BTW - I haven't changed my own oil for over 20 years. On my Jeep, I can get it done at the dealer for about $20 and I don't have to hassle with the used oil.
If I was building a house a stick at a time on top of a mountain in a constant snowstorm, I wouldn't change my own oil either!
Then who strips your drain plug?I change my own oil. The motorcycles and the car. Takes less time than going there and waiting.

Seriously? Did you pry it off with tire irons?I had a nail in my Honda car tire. I had it fixed for $20 but I took tire off and took it to them.
T....
I pick up the wires and follow them all the way to the wall plug
I'm still amazed I didn't get a shock, I feel stupid lucky right now.
... was able to avoid a trip to the hardware store. Turned the main off, swapped out the breaker, turned the main and breaker back on. repair complete.
Nice!
I also had a "part" in my junk stash that, in my case, prevented an online order (we don't have anywhere to drive to in order to get a capacitor).
Fiddling around with cleaning the pots on my guitar, I broke the capacitor on the tone pot , but I had a 0.05uF cap in the electronic junk box. That justifies keeping that 97 pounds of electronic junk around "just in case".
Absolutely correct. How is your stock of precision resistors?
I needed to modify the heater sensors on our new hot tub to work up to 115F. As some smart a$$ gummint functionary decided max temp on hot tubs to be 104F. That is barely lukewarm in 10F outdoors. Our tub is outside. A couple of 3.8K 1% resistors soldered in took care of the problem. A hot tub is supposed to be hot.
Also got a warranty replacement from napa for a purge valve for my truck. The previusly replaced one decided to stay open all the time giving the annoying check engine light and a hard start after fillup. Darn EPA crap
They can't figure out that one volcanic eruption nullifies all emission junk placed on cars for many years. And there is more than one large volcanic eruption per year somewhere. //rant off
I'm in agreement on the dislike of emission junk. Maybe we should both move to Mexico City...
Kinda reminds me of Denver in the 1980s.

I have a dvd player that hooks into a vcr which has an output to a tv. Can't just hook the dvd player to the tv. Either the vcr or the dvd player, or both, are acting up. Occasional black screen, blurred screen, or it switches from dvd mode back to cable tv mode by itself. I have a spare vcr lying around. If the spare vcr fixes the problem, I'll be decluttering my place by one ancient VCR soon.
Is the "Precision" or "precision" So named, apparently, because before that, musicians struggled with intonation since there were no frets.Absolutely correct. How is your stock of precision resistors?
