I feel the need every once in a while to remind people what the shut down was all about originally. Slow the spread, remember? Not to overwhelm the hospitals. That’s been done. Some governors are drunk on power. It’s easy to tell who. Remember in November.

I’m wondering. Remember H1-N1? Mass hysteria? Stock Market going crazy? Who’s going to make money? Who’s pushing the most hysteria?

I work in a gov't office in a secret underground undisclosed location, as they say.  No, really.  We received a briefing from an epidemiologist in Washington State.  He said that if you put someone in

With all the fist ponding and complaining. He never shut down the subways. The probable breeding ground for their epidemic. Plenty of empty hotels and beds available for essential workers to stay in for the month. But noooo take the subway. They probably got infected at work at the hospitals. I doubt it happened on the subway. These are the people we’re supposed to listen to.

At 65 I’ll be able to live on SS. But I don’t have to. When ever lemons came my way I made lemonade. The one thing I could depend on is this in the United States. Greed has nothing to do with it. Providing for my family and my future did. I’m lucky I’ve made my way prepared for my future. The thing that concerns me the most. Is a virus that could change our rights. Not cause me death. And people think it’s okay. That’s not greed, that’s life.

I'm 66 and SS won't crack the nut but it and the nest egg might. That is if...…(read the previous post) Thankfully I navigated the sea of GREED better than many. Luck had absolutely nothing to do with it. Who I can thank is God for a great workshop manual for life and a son willing to die for us. Who I can thank are my parents and grandparents who lived through everything that affected man since 1870's and beat some commons sense into me. Who never whined about how rough it was, how scared they were, how events shaped and changed the landscape of their freedom. 

 

 

Yea, life changed and yet everyone survived. No...thrived. In spite of the greed. Not because of it.

Question Stan.

Is there anything you don't have the RIGHT answer for?

I was getting really to compliment you on our sometimes frustrating sometimes opposite side of these arguments. Then you hit me with the exact sentence I can easily hit you with. You have the benefit of results that happen quickly. Coming from a lifetime of struggling at times with family business. Starting with my grandparents. I have first hand experience of what can happen when outside forces get involved with business. The ripple effects of those events. My earliest the 70s oil blockade. The 08 housing crisis. This virus. The pain and suffering as the result. It takes longer and is just as deadly. Instead of being on a small scale. It’s much bigger. I’ve seen it, live it. I know what’s coming. This will take longer and will be more painful. We’ve been forced into with no choice. It’s un American. In the late 70s we moved and started over. What’s the more than 30 million supposed to do. Your just too damn stubborn as the result are changing. New realizations come forward. You’re stuck on the same narrative. As others are changing. I’m going to agree to disagree. And not answer you on this topic going forward.

This has been politicized on both sides more than it ever should have been.

New York, New Jersey aside. Some states are holding the brakes longer even as their numbers are dropping. Much to the dismay of their residents. It doesn’t take too much imagination as to what letter is next to their name.

Drunk on power is exactly right. Our governor here will be the last to open things up. My thing is open the states back up and everyone wear a mask inside business until further notice people here in Maryland have had enough of this lock down crap and it shows out on the roads as when lock down first started hardly seen anyone on the roads now traffic is almost back to normal and WERE STILL IN A FRIGGIN LOCK DOWN. I have had enough of this bull$hit lock down. You damn right I will remember in November but our governor is on his last term so he doesn't give a $hit.

The restaurant I went to last night was a main course with a side of hand sanitizer. It was everywhere. Little marked spots on the floor where to stand. They had mask and gloves. They get it.

My personal opinion, no one knows the true numbers, they got caught lumping other causes of death and labeling it as Covid related.   This is such a joke how they are making money off this unprecedented misfortune. The governor and the mayor of NYC, well yeah. It’s just a dik waving contest, anything u do i can Do better.   These two are BS

Yup, that governor in Maine is a whack job like ours here in Michigan. Our governor allowed Landscapers to go back to work over a week ago, but not letting guys like myself to go back till the 7th. I'm a concrete contractor doing basically the same kind of things a Landscaper does. I'm done waiting and we will start tomorrow.

I'm not clear on how having more covid deaths makes money. Could you please elaborate?

The cdc website updated the deaths in Michigan and now there less then half what they were. We will eventually see the real numbers and see that this is political for these Democrat governors.

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
