    Harbor Freight shop press

    Been looking at one of these shop presses from Harbor Freight for a while now, so I figured it might come in handy while working on the exhaust system on the vette. I believed the flanges on the exhaust pipe that attaches to the catback pipes were distorted from the number of times they have...

    Coronavirus infection from China

    I don't know how many of you all are aware of this, but I think it might be prudent to keep an eye on developments. Could get quite serious.

    Some words about friction modifiers

    Been trying to figure out exactly what a "friction modifier" for a limited slip differential does, without much luck. But someone did point me to the following link that provides some insight to what a friction modifier actually is. Well somewhat, anyway...

    Best oil?

    Every now and again, I get this thought running through my head, wondering if I am using the best oil possible in my vehicles. I guess this is often in relation to the C5Z, since the journal bearings in the twin turbos are probably more prone to premature failure if the lubricating oil isn't up...

    Tesla Cybertruck?

    When I first saw a picture of this, I thought it had to be some kind of joke. And I checked the calendar thinking it HAD to be April 1. K7AiTDF7--k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7AiTDF7--k :shrug01:

    Lizard watching in November

    Kind of nice to be able to see the fence lizards sunning themselves, even in late November. Got kind of chilly last night (one of my external thermometers claims 27.9 degrees), so didn't see any of them out today. But it is not unusual to see lizards about all year long as long as they...

    Confused pear trees?

    I don't know if the pear trees in back of the garage have noticed the calendar and what time of year it is, but 5 of the 7 trees back there are putting out flowers right now...

    For Sale C6 2009 Service manual set (4 volumes) - $300

    I sold off my 2009 C6 Z06 recently, so I don't really need this manual set for any reason. Never had any reason to use them, as the extended warranty on my car expired not too long before I sold it, and nothing since then needed to be repaired. This was a new set when I purchased it several...

    For Sale Xiaomi Mi 4K Quadcopter with lots of accessories - $300

    I want to move this out to make room for other stuff. I've only got so much room I can allocate for my toys, and since I am not a collector of drones, once I bought the Parrot Anafi, time to move this one along. Honestly, though, I believe the camera in the Mi is better than what is in the...

    Alligator on St. Marks River, FL

    A friend of ours took us out for a ride on his pontoon boat on the St. Marks River today, and along the way we spotted this critter apparently enjoying the beautiful weather just as much as we were.

    Cool spell coming through

    Got down to 41.7 here last night. Pretty close to that last night, and likely the same tonight. Highs just reaching into the 60s.

    C6 Z06 go bye bye.....

    Well, I only drove it 220 miles last year. Only had it out twice in 2019. I decided I wanted a vehicle I would just drive more. There were things I liked about it, and things I didn't like about it, and I guess the "didn't likes" won out. So on 10-02-2019 Connie and I drove it down to a...

    Lifetime warranties...

    Been thinking about selling or trading in one of the cars and getting another Jeep. Perhaps the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. But I was quite a bit disappointed to find out that Jeep no longer offers the lifetime unlimited warranty that they did when I bought the Wrangler. But honestly, at my...

    Love bugs, September, 2019

    Yeah, they are showing up all around here below Tallahassee. That flat front windshield on the Jeep seems especially capable of splattering them easily. :ack2:

    Another possible tropical development coming

    I know this is rather long range, but worth keeping your eye on, regardless. Ventusky's models are showing a possible hurricane developing southeast of Puerto Rico on Monday, 09/16/2019, and by Thursday moving up between Cuba and the Bahamas. Perhaps heading towards Florida, maybe even heading...
