    Old Briggs recoil spring issue

    Could be some debris in there or the spring came undone. The bearing would probably make noise. Not sure what's so hard about winding the spring. It's simple and no tools required. Make sure the ends of the spring are hooked up into their notches, wind it up without the rope, you'll feel it when...

    Engine Oil choices at a Ukrainian version of American Lowe’s

    We are definitely spoiled in the US. Recently visited Mexico City, saw a shop manually changing a tire on the ground, transmission shop changing out transmissions and clutches by the curb on jackstands. Definitely a different frame of mind.

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    You're right. The world has changed. We have traveled to pretty remote parts of the Yucatan in Mexico. At night everyone is outside on their phone. "Houses" dont even have doors or windows but they have phones.

    Hawaii is getting too expensive to visit.

    I agree, we started traveling quite a bit in the past few years. We were surprised how uncrowded Florida was but the Keys at least were close to the price of Hawaii. We mostly travel in Mexico which is probably 30-50% the cost of Hawaii or Florida. Even traveling through Europe and visiting...

    Hawaii is getting too expensive to visit.

    Actually it has. Vegas is nowhere near as crowded as it was.

    What happened to quality control?

    They used to be thought of as a better quality alternative.

    What happened to quality control?

    I had another bad experience with no QC and modern autoparts today. Replacing a CV axle on my F150. Done it a few times so I can knock it out quick. Got the axle from NAPA, new, not rebuilt is all that's available anymore. Got the old one out, new one in, torqued all the hardware, go to put in...

    Picking u-joint, 91 F150

    Absolutely not Moog. Get Spicer non greaseable. Save the headache and take the driveshaft to a Driveline shop to have them changed if you can.

    which one to keep? 9mm handgun vs 9mm carbine

    Look into negotiating the bills down or setting up a payment plan. Ridiculous bills are usually somewhat flexible I have found

    Any experience with Spectrum for internet?

    I had Spectrum but it's not Fiber here. Just cable. Uploads are really slow which our kids complained about for gaming. We also had to reset our modem fairly often for some reason. Got rid of it and went with Frontier

    Right Way to Road Force Balance?

    Same issue on my 2000 Deville. The good enough road force balance at Discount Tire still had a slight shake at 70mph plus. Most shops and probably customers dont care too much about perfection.
