mmm...I love the smell of 2 smokes in the morning... my CCR2450 is rocking 20 years and looks brand new. I use it 10x as often as my big Ariens 2 stage. Love the sound and smell of a 2 stroke. (bump up the speed from 3800 rpm to 4000 and you pick up an extra hp...that was the difference in the...

what wag23 said...you plug in one of the powerline adapters by your router (run an Ethernet cable to it) and plug the other adapter into an outlet in your shop. Internet signal travels over your power lines. No idea how this works..but it works well. I have a few of them in my house. This also...

15 hours isn't a ton of use...but single stage machines do wear out their rubber paddles and the more they wear the worse job they do of cleaning to the pavement. I know Toro paddles have a little hole set in from the edge to show replacement time (when you wear to the hole)...bet Honda has...

common on the Caravans to have the rear shocks take a crap early...happened on mine, too New shocks completely changed the ride.

still get the paper 6 days per week...although it's a shell of what it used to be. I'm a big believer that local news coverage is important to a functioning democracy...it will be a shame when there is no longer local coverage (or minimal coverage) of city government, state government, school...

way to go, glad you're enjoying your new scoot! Scooters are a blast to ride and that one will last you a long, long time if taken care of. Every motorcyclist should own a scooter at least once. There is something so enjoyable about just twisting a throttle and going.

she seems to be more artistic and creative than math / science focused. She's also a great writer...so we'll see which direction she goes in the next few years. It has been fun watching her grow and mature and figure out our crazy world as each year goes by.

this thread is great! I'm the father of a 14 yr old girl on the spectrum. She was diagnosed with Aspergers in pre school? Nowadays you'll only get an ASD diagnosis, i believe. I'm 55..back when i was in school I know there were a number of kids on the spectrum..but we just called them weird or...

either a Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am or a Fast Times at Ridgemont High Camaro Z28, like Spiccoli wrecked!

a couple of thoughts here...rather than live with the stress and fear of damage to a new car why not get something a few years old with existing scrapes and nicks? Already 'broken in', no worries! Second - I had a 6 month old Outback get blasted with hail damage..not enough to total it but...

the manufacturer pays for the warranty, not the dealer, the dealer wants a factory warranty on their inventory. Maybe it's just a way to market them to a different audience..one who may look at used but not new. A 'picky' new buyer may not be interested in a 2 yr old new car with lot rot...but a...

it may be easier to search for a manual for the same year Vespa 150? Motor and cvt trans will be identical.

lots of info out there..air cooled, carbureted, motor shared with Vespa so parts are plentiful

congrats on the scooter find! A Piaggio is a Vespa and a god forum is modernvespa.com. I believe the piaggio shares the 150 motor with the Vespa of that vintage. Basic things to do when firing up an air cooled scooter with a carb that's been sitting.. probably needs a battery drain old fuel...

a machine polish will remove it every time!

can't go wrong with the original mity vac.

yeah, no reason to waste the money or space on a full size spare. Flats are so rare and a full sized spare probably won't even fit in the spare tire well in the trunk, plus it's heavier. If you ever need to change it, it's much easier to put a temporary spare on than a full sized one for most...

samven - great advice....and coincidentally I have both a Benjamin .22 and a Crosman break barrel .177. I prefer the break barrel with a scope for taking out critters. I have killed a few squirrels with the break barrel but not immediately, they seem to run a bit before dropping. With my scope...

my work ipad came with a keyboard and it is very adequate for typing emails. I have no issues with it.

new cars that sit on a lot can get washed by a kid in the wash truck with the attached pressure washer and a dirty mit...if they get snowed on they get 'snow broomed' where snow is pushed off by a foam 'broom' (dragging the snow across a dirty surface)...many have rail rust or other...
