    Interval for Propeller Shaft Lubrication

    I was OCD about lubing cars properly when in the biz. I recall some of the older Yotas having 3 fittings in the propeller shaft. 10 total. The front shaft fitting closest to the transfer case on my Tundra is very hard to get.

    Got a Defective Oil Filter ... and it's not a Fram!

    Is this the proper filter application?

    I tried to retire and failed

    Sold the business 2 years ago at 62. Could not be happier. Stay busy with a couple rentals and a place on the bay. Spent last week barefooting a Catamaran in BVI. August will be a month with my Grandson. Took a bit of planning and a leap of faith but I'm so happy I did it.

    NJ 2nd A win.

    The evil features weren't addressed but NJ's ban on substantially identically firearms is unconstitutional. So the 3rd Circuit will have the district court issue a ruling. In other words the 3rd circuit said our firearms can't be banned!

    Canadian Smoke

    I'm in So. Jersey (08009) and today was the 1st I noticed the smoke and odor. Took a ride to bay house (08087) and it was noticeable visibly but no odor. We should tariff the incoming smoke. It's the only way.

    Engine blew up in the shop.

    Any refund or moneys offered will be considered an admission of guilt. It's a lesson I learned the hard way. (NDA?) Your attorney will earn more than the claim is worth. If you are not responsible for the issue you must stand firm on that decision. If the complainant is unwilling to accept your...

    Engine blew up in the shop.

    Coincidence? Seems so. In your shop, last one to "touch it"? Going to be a hard sell to the owner. Changing the oil/filter comes with an unwritten lifetime engine problem warranty. You knew that though. 25 year quick lube owner here.

    drained engine oil is red.

    My experience is that synthetics, when drained, can have a reddish color. I've noticed it on many occasions at my center. Golden color as new, then red, brown and then black. Mobil 1 seemed to have this trait most often. I'd bet a UOA would show a lot of life left in that oil.

    Did i harm my new car with early oil change?

    I worry I don't worry enough. Should I be worried or am I just overthinking things.

    While sleeping felt like getting smacked in the lip have 2 small black puncture wounds on lip.

    I'd get it looked at. A spider bit me on the arm at a dirty hotel near Watkins Glen. When I woke it was making its' way back up the web strand to the ceiling above. Tiny little thing left only a small bite mark. In the week following the race the bite continued to grow until it was golf ball...
