Good point. I have no idea what Oct 2023-Oct 2024comps the Vision Co. used on my property, if any. They are not listed anywhere publicly that I've found. Maybe my RE Appraiser can find those for me? Another video I listened to suggested one could use "Uniformity" Appraisal Value rules...

LOL. I like that. My wife and I said the same thing. We don't think anyone would buy it for $250K. And possibly no more than $200K. Yet the appraisal says $300K+. The nearly identical home down the street from us in the bordering town went for $165K. But, it doesn't really matter what...

For the first time in 30 yrs I contested our Real Estate Appraisal performed by Vision Govt Solutions. Vision did the entire town evaluation this past year. Round 1 with Vision didn't go well. Now comes Round 2 with the town board of assessment appeals. If that didn't work it would...

For the past 23 years I've bought luxury domestic cars with 20K-40K miles, at 4-16 yrs old, when they were at 1/3 to 1/10th of MSRP. That's still very early in the life cycle. Cars in question were 1997-2002 Lincoln Continentals. So after 3 of them in a row I'm pretty used to them. Current...

First time I've seen any video mention those pads as a potential source of vibration. Good find.

What were the symptoms of your tub bearing going? Shaking? A link I posted above shows a tub bearing being replaced. Other than some extra tools it doesn't appear to be that complicated. Though tedious. Could take me all day to do something like that.....and who knows how available...

Yes. Perfectly balanced. Anytime the machine shakes at all I recheck all the legs and ensure the machine has zero wobble or give when pushing on it.....even as little as 0.5 to 1 mm can cause problems I haven't had to shim/adjust anything in years. Still very stable. Should note that the...

I didn't replace any of the struts/shocks....only the floor washers, spindle, & nuts 5 yrs ago, that the left side spring/shock attaches to. All 3 large springs are original to the machine....and stiff as heck to stretch, even with tools. But just to be sure.....I measured the spring...

All 3 springs are the original ones......30+ yrs old. They are under a lot of tension and hard to move. They don't appear weak......nearly 5" long, 21 coils per spring.....1-3/16 wide....coil thickness of 0.205". I don't know why 2 would fatigue over time and not the 3rd one. ?? The...

Maytag Top Loader A511 (listed 745G) that we got used in the early 1990s. Only one minor repair in that time. It's shaking pretty good in the spin cycle in the past 2 weeks or so on large loads with larger items. On the last medium load for small items which was well balanced......no extra...

Enjoy it while you can. Those big standard deductions that came about in 2017 via the Trump Tax Reforms go away after next year. So in 2026 things are scheduled to go back to 2016/2017 standard deduction rates.......or about half of what they currently are. It's still not being talked about...

I suspect that in the future, tugs through the bridge might be required for large ships....though it's debatable if they could do anything to change ship's course within 1-2 minutes. Those on the ship manning key control stations may need to be reinforced....esp. emergency controls where...

That makes good sense.....thanks. Not sure on the EVAP system question. I've never seen a warning or info message on it ever.

True. But, my car had a factory installed fuel pump module up to now. It no longer does. I would think all bets are off with a different style/brand of fuel pump module. And now it's been shown that other Ford/Lincoln/Mercs have done this....whether on original and/or replaced fuel pump...

OK. Now we're getting somewhere. Seems like this is a fairly common occurrence in the Ford/Lincoln/Mercury world. Interesting that all I have driven since 1985 were Fords (4), Lincolns (3), and Mercs (2) as daily drivers. And just finally ran into this quirk. Those other cars were probably...

Yes to all those questions. Though, even if I was leaving the radio on not sure how that would interfere with the next startup & getting an accurate fuel tank level. I've had this car for 6 yrs and 30K miles. My refueling procedure is pretty ingrained....with engine off and no accessories...

The invoice states that it was a Delphi fuel pump assembly.

While this might be normal, it sure is odd imo. So I figured someone here would know the answer or seen it before. Had a faulty fuel pump diagnosed a bit over a month ago. So the entire fuel pump/level assembly for my 2001 Lincoln Continental was replaced. After the first time I refueled...

I would agree with that. From the few sources I've read, the actual formation of D3 can take from 1-24 hours. Most of it probably taking place within 6-8 hours. So it is best not to soap scrub your skin right after getting sun. Wait a few hours or just rinse with plain water.

Good question. Nature Made (USP certified) is probably synthetic. One source says much of the D3 supplements come from "wool oil." D3 is animal sourced. And the D2 comes from plant sources, which is a less efficient process for humans. Probably something I should look into deeper in the...
