I've got to act more like an adult

Our just turned 3-year old daughter is basically potty trained now, but she needs help when she goes #2.

 

I was helping her the other day when she got a little "gassy" on the pot.  I said "That was a "GOOD ONE" Hannah".

 

Her reply was....  "I can FART just like you dad....".   LMAO

 

I guess I need show a little more self control...  (still LMAO!!)

The thing I like best about kids is their blatant honesty.

Ok, well, this is the most tame one I have...:devil:

 

Well, One of the more popular movies around when I was little was BeetleJuice. So my family and I would watch it alot when I was little. There's this one particular scene where the Deceased couple first meet beetlejuice, in the guy's model.

 

Well, after they get mad at him and leave him alone in the model, he throws a fit. And my favorite part of the movie was when he kicked down a fake tree and yelled "Nice F**king model!"

 

So, We were in a restaraunt one day in Hatteras, NC visiting with family members I had never met before (keep in mind, I'm 3 or 4 years old). Well, the waitress comes over to take our order and i yell "Nice F**king model!". I don't remember doing it but mom tells me these days that everbody laughed so hard.

That's funny but so true. You never know what they will copy. It seems that they pick up on your worst traits, not your best ones. ???

I don't know if I should tell you this, but as a teacher, I hear some good ones from kids,,,,,,,coming from HOME.  There are no secrets, guys!!!!    This is especially true with the elementary school kids.   Bob

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
