You can learn a lot about someone by the way they communicate with you on Marketplace. I've told many people to buzz off. I don't want to deal with rude, inconsiderate, and/or arrogant people. It probably takes me longer to sell some things as a result, but that's OK. I'm sure the seller...

Just had my tank pumped by the company I mentioned. $475 which included digging to find the cap. He said there were no issues. We've been in this house 3 months shy of 16 years (new home we had built).

Fifth gear sees very little action in my TSX. The only time is when I've got her loaded down with people. Mainly, it's just my commuter, so it's fast and furious first through third, then quickly into fourth for the last few MPH of relaxed acceleration and then into sixth for cruising.

Our septic is 16ish years old this year. Never pumped it. Been thinking about doing it, so this thread is somewhat timely. A couple years ago I noticed that our drain field had a wet spot over top of one of the lines. I dumped some Roebic fix-in-a-bottle in the toilet, as directed by the label...

I live in the shadow of Shenandoah National Park here in Virginia and this (https://www.google.com/maps/@38.663335,-78.3009813,3a,75y,328.35h,83.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNmFKLFT_dtvK2WKcj-gmiw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu) used to be just that. I'm 41 and remember from when I was a kid seeing...

I would not take that job. I'm a recovering federal employee. Been out for four years (after 11-1/2 as a fed). Stay with your family and figure out another option. Federal pay and benefits is just OK, IMO. The pension used to be really good (prior to 1980ish, I think). Even recently, the...

Picked up a cheap parts bike for my son's Cobra...but now I'm working to get it running to just keep as a backup/practice bike. Installed new rings and fired it up today. Runs great, but I need to do a few other things before he can throw his leg over it.

We discovered Culvers a couple years ago while on vacation in Florida. I call it the burger-joint equivalent to ChickFilA. Clean, decent food, and good, friendly service. Definitely a step above the usual fast food suspects, IMO.

I replaced the OE pump on my TSX in July 2021 when it started to get a little noisy. I figure that was around 285k miles. I've since put 30k on the Aisin that I installed. We'll see...

Hey, @fantastic - I picked up a toy hauler today to go with the new truck. It's a 2019 KZ Sportsmen 270THLE. Should be a good little trailer for us. (y) 400 mile round trip to pick it up. Truck now has 700 miles on it and pulled the trailer home like a champ.

Maybe call up an auction house nearby who specializes in antiques? They should be able to give you an idea if you have anything of significant value. If so, they could help you liquidate.

That's awesome. Keep it up, young man!

That green bike is a Kawasaki KX65. He also has a Cobra CX65. Both 65cc two strokes. Nasty little rippers. One trick we do to these little bikes for woods racing is gear them down and then start in 2nd gear. He loses a little top end, but these races rarely have wide open sections where that...
