There's no fuse for the CEL...Here you can have two codes present...Both codes must cause random CEL illumenation...A code that illumenates the CEL all the time...Fail!! The computer also informs the tech should the light be recently turned off...It will code ....drive cycle incomplete...Some drive cycles are 10/15 miles and some 75 miles until the computer sends an all clear....Complain about the ethanol??? The only way you're gonna be successful....Pay Congress...and you gotta out bid Exxon, Shell, BP and a few others combined...but....Congress will send you a subsidy....Cheap gasoline....High price...Somethings wrong here.............

Thank the Lord above the man in Boston checked his perimeter....It has been a horrible week...

This should give you a laugh. I had to take my nephew to the doc. So when the nurse came in I said I'll apologize in advance because my stomach had been making these very loud noises all day. I guess from the procedure I had done the day before. Anyway she's checking him and the old stomach lets go. She sat's oh your getting a call on your cell phone. I told her No that's my stomach. She laughed and said it sounded just like a cell phone on vibrate.

Bo that's the only plus I like about putting computers in cars. Read the code and go right to the problem. I'm an old points and coil guy.

LOL 5c, that's funny about the tummy rumble! I have a Joe Bonamassa guitar riff from Black Night as my ringtone...no tummy growling haha!

That's true about the code, just wish I knew what it's gonna be before I have to take in in for emission testing. Then I could have plenty of time to address the problem beforehand. I got a can of the Sea Foam today...do I put the whole can in my gas tank? And does the tank need to be filled before, after I add it?

Bo if you take it to emissions testing and stop at the front office instead of going into a stall and ask them to see if your car is ready to be tested they will take a hand held code reader and tell you if it is. That way you can get the code from them, look it up and find out what it is. They did it for me anyway. Another way is you get 2 tries for the money so run it through, get the code, fix it then go through your second time.

What the heck? This forum was hiccupping major this morning! I had a post all written out about what a PITA those dang CEL's are and such. It posted twice, I went back to edit one out and see now that it edited both posts out. Plthhhhhhhhhh!

Just fired up the ProTank...Boge starting to taste metally. A bit heavier than I am used to, but so far so good! I am used to the fill port (and love that feature!) but this was easy to fill also. May become a bit messier to refill once everything is all wet but we will see.
I was dripping a drop of grape (loving this grape vape) down into my drip tip and enjoying that aroma in the M1A1, can you do that with this tank? Anyone know?
I am such a creature of habit!!!

 

[908Tracy]

Also wanted to let you know that I'm not so sure I like these NF flavorings after all. It's just not the same as the vendors juice. There is an odd taste/smell to them that is just there.
I ordered a grape juice flavoring from Good Prophets to try mixing up. That strange smell/taste is not in their grape. To be continued.....

 

[5cardstud]

They weren't playing around huh? I'm glad they got these lowlifes off the streets. The Uncle said they just couldn't get life together here in America so they blamed and hated everyone. Sounds like their welfare check stopped coming. Boston gave one of them a scholarship worth a couple grand. Sounds like life wasn't that bad.

 

[FranC]

Got the floor and fridge

 

[908Tracy]

Beautiful Fran!!! It's really coming together now! LOVE it!!!!

 

[908Tracy]

Speaking of that darn CEL....Isn't there a way to get behind that dash and put electrical tape over the damn thing? Just thinking out loud I suppose.

 

[Bovinia]

Yep, beautiful Fran!! I have the same coffee maker as you lol. With Kevin gone, I have been able to afford going back to my Keurig and k-cups, since I only drink one cup in the mornings. A case of 80 k-cups from BJ's for $28...I can handle that

Tracy, have you tried letting your NF flavors set with the caps off for awhile? Salem and a few others have complained about some funky taste in NF's coffee and tea flavorings, but I've never noticed it. Salem uses their extracts I think, and they don't have that taste.

5c, yes I know I'll get 2 tries on a fail, sometimes it's hard to find a mechanic in the time frame they give you tho. I can ask about the hand held read, good idea. I also looked up the Sea Foam and now know that you add it to a full tank.

Tested out my ac while I was running errands today and it's cooling quite well but the belt did start squealing like a little piggy. I knew I wasn't going to be able to tighten it enough by hand, no big deal.

Ordered the little cement mixer from harbor freight, to speed up foundations for the new deck. They have a 20% off coupon running through next Sunday, able to buy one item per day with the discount. Only does a bag at a time, but that's fine by me, and it's small enough for wifie to play with making concrete lawn ornaments

He should thank God he's still breathing...some of his victims aren't.

Whoo hoo, Fran, that fridge is uptown. Really, everything is just beautiful.

 

[908Tracy]

Fran, Is that your IPro or BP down in the corner by the sink? One of the first things I noticed!!! Mine is NEVER far from me either, EVER!!!

Bov, I have tried leaving the lids off, but probably not long enough maybe. I will try it again, but man, there's just a funkiness to them. The EG Tea almost smells like Coppertone suntan lotion. blech!

 

[Bovinia]

Great eye Tracy lol! What flavors did you get from NF? I evap the alcohol off, but I think Salem says she can still taste that funkiness after she tried my process. I pour it into a shallow bowl, nuke it for about 15-20 seconds and let it cool in the bowl, then re-bottle it.

That sounds fun Mark! When I had my house out in the boonies, I used a pattern for stones and made a walkway thru my herb garden with quickcrete. All I had was a wheel barrow, a shovel and a water hose...that little mixer you bought sure would have been handy! We have a Harbor Freight store here in town and I'm like a kid in a candy store there

 

[908Tracy]

I'll try anything Bov, that stuff wasn't cheap!!! Shoot!

Mark, your wife makes concrete yard statues? Awesome!!!

 

[markfm]

I figure I mixed a decent number of tons by hand, over several summer projects - foundations for the gazebo, deck/sunroom addition, couple walkways, several fences. Time to make life easier.

Wifie just started playing with the concrete sculpture stuff, fairly small items that still end up 30 - 60 pounds. This year she wants to do hypertufa.

 

[908Tracy]

I am not sure what hypertufa is. My Mom used to make little statues out of something called Chatahoochie. It's basically crushed stone and epoxy mixed and poured into molds. Made lovely lawn ornaments and some doubled as flower pots. She went to Florida and learned all of the how to's from a gentleman there. We had lots of fun making them.

Bov, forgot to answer your question above.....I have grape and earl grey tea in NF.

 

[Bovinia]

I haven't tried those Tracy so I have no real advice except the evap...sorry.
