The Boy Scouts were started on this day, February 8, in 1910.

 

Since then, just over 2 million boys have earned the rank of Eagle Scout.

... in Canada, we were called a Queen's Scout (received mine in 1967) ... roughly equivalent to the achievement status of an Eagle Scout in the USA

Not an Eagle Scout, as I chose to go into a Law Enforcement Explorer program (Related to Boy Scouts) wish I would have gotten my Eagle. Scouting is a tested and true program worthy of support, and best of all, they don't give into demands by society and stick to their founding principles and guidelines instead. Wish we had a government like that.

 

Scouting helps teach boys to become MEN.

It kind of sucks that I got my Eagle while Obama is in office. He refuses to send letters of congratulations to Eagle Scouts because BSA is so strict about not allowing openly gay people into the program. This is the same reason why he cut almost all of the government money that was going into the program.

Not an Eagle myself, but oldest son is, and youngest son is working on his Eagle project as I am typing this.

 

Tell him I say good luck and congrats on making it this far. My project got canceled the day before it was supposed to happen...twice. I have never had a more stressful period of time in my life. I got the project done 4 days before my birthday in December when it was 8 degrees outside :)

One more Eagle here!! I didn't know that about Obama. My respect-o-meter just went negative on that guy.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
