    American Airlines And United Airlines Want Chicago O'Hare Expansion To Slow Down

    Sounds like virtually any other major airport remodel or expansion... See the Denver Airport current great hall project. One could point out in your example that DFW, ATL, and CLT were not even options. The only commercial flights out of LaCrosse today go to Chicago (Delta ended service to...

    Post your latest cold start.

    This is one of those relative things... 30F is well, Thursday. The week has no highs outside of the 30's in it. And is perfectly normal. Would not even occur to me to video it as a "cold start" - just another day.

    7.3 diesel Super Dutys' still fetching premium used price

    I 80 is Nebraska. I 90 goes across South Dakota. Again, every tire supplier we use has 16" Load Range E tires in stock. Zero issues with availability. We don't keep any inventory on hand since it has not ever been an issue. The last emergency tire replacement I had due to a flat was in Lusk...

    7.3 diesel Super Dutys' still fetching premium used price

    The 16" Load Range E tires are still a very common tire in commercial use. They were not a boutique type size or type of tire and were used on a wide variety of heavy duty applications. As an example, Tirerack still offers 52 different tires, including offerings from Goodyear, Cooper, Michelin...

    I don't miss having a fireplace

    Wood fireplace in the main family room. We use it at least a dozen times a winter. Just had a nice fire in it on Saturday night. Nothing like the heat and crackle and pop. Virtually free supply of wood from what I've cut in our yard and from other sources. We have a gas free standing stove in...

    What's the deal with Unleaded 88?

    Maybe another questions is why Mazda continued with this language as long as they did when they knew they were selling cars into an environment that considers Regular Unleaded, E10, and E15 all to be "equivalent" for use in cars post 2001? Other manufacturers adopted the language and approved it...

    What's the deal with Unleaded 88?

    Ah, the owners manual that every BITOG owner follows to the letter for oil change viscosity, API service classifications, intervals, and manufacturer specifications. Its funny how this board in some cases uses the owners manual as the gospel in some cases, but conveniently chooses not to follow...

    $10k for a 240v outlet install?

    The big cost here isn't the level 2 charger.... but at $1800 it still isn't cheap. The big cost is the panel upgrade that sounds like is needed to accommodate that. Been mulling over a panel upgrade at a seasonal property... 70s vintage and it doesn't come cheap...

    How do you split your firewood?

    We burn wood at the cabin for a couple of reasons... No natural gas service. Electricity is not the cheapest. Also, what do you do in the winter when the electricity goes out? (which is a relatively common happening in the north woods). Propane is spendy. An endless supply of dead and dying or...

    UPS Sure post- missing package

    No, UPS is not allowed to deliver to mailboxes. UPS hands off Surepost deliveries to the USPS for final delivery, and the USPS can deliver those packages to a mailbox. You will need to take it up with the shipper, as UPS is out of the picture once they hand it off.

    What's the deal with Unleaded 88?

    So much confusing E15 and E85 in this thread. E15 is sometimes called Super 88 here. I run E15 in my 2016 F150, 2017 Fusion, and 2021 Explorer, anytime its priced more than 10 cents cheaper per gallon than 87 E10. I've run it for 10's of thousands of miles with zero issue. All three vehicles...

    Are round plug trailer harnesses grounded thru hitch?

    As others have noted, likely your trailer has a ground issue. Found the same problem with a friends boat trailer - it was grounding through the ball and gave all sorts of trailer connected disconnected messages. The fix was to repair the wire harness where the wire was broken and it fixed the...

    2018 F-150 not auto stopping thankfully.

    You should be able to flip through your screens on the dashboard and it will give you a relatively generic reason. Common reasons my start stop is not engaging include: vehicle is charging (BCM believes the battery state of charge is below the desired level - normally 70% on my F150)...

    Insane motel room prices

    Your line... "It was obvious to me the original post was using hyperbole in order to prove a point. You seem to be struggling with this so I'll help out." Past experience with this poster, as noted by multiple responses on this thread, shows otherwise. Good luck.

    Insane motel room prices

    Your point was the many posters with past experience with the OP's threads were somehow missing something or his point was going over our heads. OP is well known for exactly this type of thread, and the responses are calling that out accordingly.

    Insane motel room prices

    You must be new here... This is a a typical post by the OP. A rant on whatever irked him in the moment, and then arguing with anyone (usually nearly everyone else) that they are wrong. As others have posted, the OP doesn't like the going rate where ever and whenever he's looking (which he of...

    Insane motel room prices

    The short simple answer is simply hotels are charging what people will pay. The OP believes what the general hotel using clientele is willing to pay is too much... In the last year I've stayed in nice, name brand hotels (typically Marriott family, Hilton Family, or IHG Family) for under $100...

    Gasoline price vs electricity price

    Again, I use my bill from this month and the kWh price looks high. I use my bill from a few months ago and it looks much lower per kWh when the fixed cost is included. I view it as it doesn't matter. I pay the fixed fees regardless of what type of vehicle I own. The only piece that changed with...
