    RIP Randolph Mantooth (aka Paramedic John Gage from TV series Emergency!)

    If he talked about it openly via an interview or is found on platforms such as Wikipedia of his acting bio, I would say no. I would bet he was proud of his ancestry just by who he was...

    When is a window seat not a window seat? Judge certifies class action against United.

    I have reason to believe that the video screen on the back of the seat had a Windows insignia on it.

    Quentin Aanenson: A Fighter Pilot’s Story

    Hey all, I thought I would share this with you all. This video came out circa 1993. The story as I understand it, is that Quentin created the video for his children and grandchildren to know what his life was like as a fighter pilot. PBS somehow found it and the video was broadcast nationwide...

    RIP Randolph Mantooth (aka Paramedic John Gage from TV series Emergency!)

    Come to think of it, were they not the first to use (and bring attention to) the use of a Defibrillator? Now virtually every public store, mall, larger workplace has one or more mounted on walls.

    RIP Randolph Mantooth (aka Paramedic John Gage from TV series Emergency!)

    I watched that with the family growing up. It was on Saturday evenings which was pizza night. (picture TV trays, paper plates filled with pizza, glasses filled with ice cubes and coke) Adam-12 followed. It was thrilling to watch as I didn't know what to expect next and the very real portrayals...

    Why do people buy 1 quart bottles of oil?

    I have an almost empty 5 gallon bucket of HPL sitting in the garage. I am going to start collecting them. Looks pretty darn cool all shiny black with a big HPL sticker on it. No more Menards or Home Depot buckets for me!!

    My oil change set up with ramps

    Mount a set of wheels on your ramp and you can wheel them back and forth and looks like you can store them upright. Nice.

    My oil change set up with ramps

    I laughed when I read your quote and said to myself - Ahhh he knows from experience! AND any oil drips wipe up very easy! ;)

    2018 Volvo 0W-30 Oil Recommendation

    How does this fit in with the Volvo specified VCC - RBSO - 2AE 0W-20? My car is under warranty (2020 S60T6R) and Volvo is known to be sticklers when there are oil related failures. So how do I use the other oils and be covered under warranty? What does the Castrol and Liqui Moly Volvo specified...

    My Brake Flush Set Up

    As long as the vacuum is present, you see some air being let "in" PAST the threads and no air is entering the caliper. It's all physics. Keep in mind the vacuum pump is keeping a constant vacuum or suction. I have no reason to change things up at this point. I only wrote this for those who...

    My Brake Flush Set Up

    opinions vary I will stick with my vacuum pump set up. It works fast and well. I already had a vacuum pump and to by one for that purpose alone may not be worth your expense. I do 5 cars when due. What works for you is all that matters.

    Soliloquy speaker. Will tear in rubber ring in woofer effect sound? Long term?

    You should be able to get the surrounds replaced. There are several companies who do this. Speaker repair

    My Brake Flush Set Up

    I would NOT consider my set up explosion proof for fuel i.e. gasoline. I like that you can see what is happening as you draw oil in or adding oil with the motive. When I bleed my brakes, it's a two handed operation. One hand holds the box end wrench on the oil bleeder fitting and the other hold...

    My Brake Flush Set Up

    You are right about that. It's never been a problem but as it fills up the air bubbles go thru the oil. The purpose of the tube is so the oil does not get sucked into the vacuum pump. So yes I could trim 3 inches or so off the bottom of the tube. My vacuum pump has a oil level sight glass and I...
