1-2 a week is my goal. But i dont eat much as is but i do drink a lot of soda and the doctors say i need to lose weight because of my back

Yup, my Doc said the biggest factor that will rapidly degrade a back injury is a weight on the front, told me to make sure I never get a "gut" in the future or I'll be sorry.

Soda can also be bad for your stomach in a few different ways....and so much damn sugar too...

 

I used to go thru about 5 or 6 cans a day and now maybe one a week....huge accomplishment for me really.

Anyone have a vacuum hose they would be willing to let go for free? Accidentally tossed mine and since I have hydroboost I don't have it on the truck. Works great for the periodic seafoam treatment I do.

Did one today and looks like I did a massive burnout from all the carbon that gets burned off. Or so they say lol

Did anyone else see Days of Future Past? So, because of the end

 

Spoilers:

 

 

 

That means "The Wolverine"(2013) never actually happened....since he wouldn't have been upset over the death of Jean Greg, since she never died now. That was the whole reason he went there.

 

 

 

End Spoilers

I just watched the recent Godzilla movie and was disappointed. Godzilla was obese and the overall plot was lacking especially since it didnt have that Japanese touch.

As far as the X-men apparently, if I remember correctly from how my friend explained it, this is how Marvel created the Ultimate line of comics or whatever that alternate series is called. Comics always confuse me with their multiple time lines/universes. I know this doesn't help explain anything but yeah.

Yeah I watched it.... Any site you found that explains it well? I'm kinda confused...

Several sites try, but I have found errors with their logic. I have figured most of it out myself. Most of the confusion is just people not remembering specific stuff in earlier movies.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complainjng about comic book movie story line, I'm complaining about what looks like poor studio oversight of a massive cash cow.

 

I just don't see why/how they didn't tell the director/writers of "The Wolverine" to just slightly change the plot so the movie wouldn't be completely useless to the series less than twelve months later, they were already finishing the story at that point. All they had to do was give him a different reason to go there.

 

They completely set it up as him looking for a waaaambulance over Grey's death in X3. He could have simply been going nomad after the events of X3.

One of the problems is that there are so many comic universes.

Yeah, But only one universe and that universe will soon contain STAR WARS VII. JJ Abrams better not screw it up. :lurk:

way too many universes to follow. To many alternate time lines for same characters. I got a trillion dollar movie idea. A wolverine movie with an alternate timeline. He is a stock broker.

 

It just gets bad. Too many of these movies now

I was driving to work, when suddenly I'm driving through blood all over the road. "Holy crap!"

 

About 100 feet later, intestines are spread down and across the lanes.

 

Then "sprinkled" for the next 100 feet are entrails and guts spread all over.

 

Then, I run over a 3 inch thick adult deer.

 

That was interesting.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Atlas · Posted

      If one can't be found, a good automotive upholstery shop should be able to replace/sew in a new panel where the damage is on the old cover. It might not be the cheapest option..

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Does your dealer charge you for the tire rotation on top of the oil change price ?. I haven't had any service work done at my dealer yet other than when I brought it back soon after owning it to have the front end aligned to correct the steering wheel being off center a bit. Oh they called me at least twice hounding me to bring it in for an oil change and pushing a 300.00 package of oil change and tire rotation and whatever other quick simplistic checks they would do. Only going off of what a friend gets charged for his half ton for the basic oil change and its the same amount of oil as the L8T holds, it was about 150.00. Once one buys a set of tires from most shops these days or so I believe, they will do free tire rotations and some do free tire balancing as well as free tire repairs.    Certainly doing a tire rotation is no five minute job, and definitely not at home but because I run a set of winter tires on their own wheels, I swap them at home and its a one tire at a time deal because of the tire season swap although I jack up the rear and do it and drop it back down and then raise the front and do them and coordinate the tire rotation into that process for both sets of tires. I am using a floor jack though and if I need to raise both ends at once I use a couple sets of jack stands to have all four tires off the ground. I use either an air impact or battery impact and have electric impact as well so no shortage there of easy methods to spin the lug nuts, and then retorquing the lug nuts. None of it goes quick though but my wages are cheap though ... zero. I live an hour out of town, its easier just to do things like that myself than waste a bunch of time in town and having to make an appointment and probably a special trip and sit there at the tire shop waiting for them to get my vehicle in and get it done and not screw something up in the process.

      Clunk when coming to a stop... driveshaft/slip yoke? Mechanic couldn't recreate it

      By mrbflat · Posted

      I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.

      Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like

      Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost.
