Is that a reuleaux in my pocket or am I just happy to see you?



Dave, what a nice pleasant video! All that greenery! I've missed seeing these videos, and now that I'm back on schedule, looking forward to seeing more. :)

No idea, gotta save up to even get it looked at.
Check local high schools or vo-techs. Some have auto repair and only charge for parts. They like to have real problems for the students to figure out and repair. Or am I a couple generations behind?

Cliff notes would be appreciated. FB has either removed it, or just won't let me look, not having an account there.

Nope @MikeE3, what DavidOck said..............

Mike, 'no go' here. But if you're pizzed, then I know I'll be also! I'll take da Cliff Notes, please...

The vid was made by a shop owner in MN. Middle aged lady angry, angry, angry and really upset. Through tears she told this story. One of her steady customers is a mentally handicapped young man (sorry if that's not a PC description, but it's all I can think of at the moment). His parents brought him to the shop month's ago and got him setup w/ PV, tank, juice etc. He successfully gave up the cigs for vaping.

He doesn't have the dexterity or mental capacity to change his own coils. So when he needs a coil change he comes to the shop. This morning he came ... because of the FDA deeming and she isn't a licensed tobacconist she can no longer change his coils. She tried to explain to him how to do it. He went outside and sat on the sidewalk and attempted the coil change. He broke the tank or coil or something and was just sitting there shaking and crying. Passersby were just looking at him and smirking about the the 'goof' just siting there and shaking.

Eventually he went home and came back w/ his parents. Yesterday she would just have given him a new tank/coil ... today she couldn't give anything away. She sold another to his parents and instructed them on how to change the coils. Horrible, just horrible video to watch. She was really calling out the FDA at then end about how many people like him will probably go back to smoking.

argghh! :-x

I enjoyed that very much. By the way, I once had that song stuck in my mind for about six years (or so it seemed). Why do you call it a quad?
Thanks, Mike! It's a quad copter, with 4 rotors, so, quad for short.

The name of the group that sang that song is We Five. "You Were On My Mind" is a remake of an Ian and Sylvia tune. (Thanks Google!) I've always found the song uplifting and it was a definite favorite as I started high school. It's a mystery to me that We Five never hit the charts big with anything else.

I'm a good driver! Nah, that steering is all over the place. Steering trys to go right. Brakes pulling hard left. Busted strut? No idea, gotta save up to even get it looked at.

Kenna, it could be the brake hose on the front right side has collapsed - they do that sometimes. This makes the right brake lightly 'engage' all the time making the car pull to the right, then when you put on the brakes the right side doesn't move, but the left does... which makes it jerk and/or pull to the left.

I hope that's what it is - a relatively cheap part, and should be an easy (and so a cheap) fix.

(sorry if that's not a PC description

pizz on PC

I'm sick and tired of PC
I'm sick and tired of the feds
I'm sick and tired of politics
I'm sick and tired

I took all the news apps off my phone and tablet a little while ago... didn't watch the evening news, and don't plan to. Ever. Again.

We have two mental cases running for president; an uncontrollable federal bureaucracy run amok; a Congress that can't/won't get ANYTHING done; the Olympics is being held in a third-world cesspool; Russia, China and North Korea are getting more aggressive by the day (probably because they smell the increasing weakness of the US); and folks... for anyone who hasn't realized this yet - the Middle East will be embroiled in killing and conflict until the end of the world.

And to top it all off, 'the media' is shaping opinion the way they want it to be.

I get all that.

Don't need to watch or read the news anymore.

@MikeE3 Well, I clicked "like" but in all honesty, the crib notes CRUSHED me.
That's the kind of story that needs to get to EVERY representative and congressman.
It didn't just make me angry, it broke my heart because one of the times I went to the local B & M, the first part of the story was exactly what I saw played out, the staff helping a small group of "challenged" young men brought in by their care givers. That story just REALLY struck close to home for me.

Sincerely, thanks for sharing it though. Now everybody needs to "share it" with their politicians! Not to be political or anything........ Especially after what I just went through with my "representative"!!! :-x :-x :-x (Actually one of his "new staffers"!!!)

:cool: Von Vape :cool:
