  1. Considering the Romans just pull that finger and see what happens.
  2. No more space under the hood and easy fixes most can do. Even spark plugs get hidden under clutter so a leaking valve cover messes up the spark. Can a car have bumpers that don't damage costing hundreds hehehe. Nope it would cost hundreds maybe thousands to give a guy a push start.
  3. Ah the days of parking on an incline to always get started.
  4. A contractors supply store might have the stuff for guys fixing roll around stuff. In the states a store like Grangers always amazes with what they stock.
  5. Texas Rangers? You must mean the refugees of the Washington Senators “After the 1970 season, owner Bob Short declared he would not renew the Senators’ lease at RFK Stadium in D.C. unless someone bought the team from him. Arlington, Texas, mayor Tom Vandergriff convinced Short to move the team to the Lone Star State, where the franchise became the Rangers.”
  6. Is that real and if so which town? I could be the mini me in a picture.
  7. Few years back an american cooking oil company sold fast food places started using the oil that was the same way.
  8. Way back I spent a couple days hunting down Indian rain dance chants on the iPhone. Hopefully the mountains don't scrape most of the moisture out of clouds.
  9. Looka like it's the cops who got kicked out with their cat that was also pigging out.
  10. Electronics can fool you. First thought is a bad cell. Once running the the charging and other ceells can cover for the bad cell but I'd call it a leaky cell that drains the other cells down while sitting idle. There's normally 6 cells with 2 volts each. Alternator charges to 15volts so after turning off one bad cell gives you 13 volts good for starting but after sitting idle the drain gets to it. Then there's the alternator diodes. If it's an alternator not generator the alternator makes AC and diodes are supposed to be turning the alternating current into DC. But of the diodes start flaking out it can be off and on going back and forth from DC to AC to DC and on and on. A digital multimeter should be able to spot that problem seeing the positive and negative emblem of the meter swap back and forth once in awhile. Sears one time after a neww battery and it happened again that the battery went dead I told them it's the alternator diodes. So they wheel out the big tester cart testing everything and through another battery in hehehe. 3rd time they changed the alternator. A regulat needle type multimeter won't spot the negative and positive emblem switching around.
  11. October 14 Solar Eclipse running through Mexico to the east. Don't try to stop it because it's pretty heavy :) You can click the map and it shows the types, start time and ending of the eclipse types. Get your glasses or camera solar lens filters now. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/map/2023-october-14
  12. 3 days of rain so keee rain dancing 😊
  13. Obviously you girls and guys need to organize a yearly rain dance festival rain or shine of course. Lots of concessions, wares and clothes, bands and displays as the usual thing shouldn't be hard to accomplish. The tour boats, real estate sellers and kids chasing everything should enjoy it.
  14. Lake Chapala needs to put kids to shame and maybe put a little fear in them. I figure having a big party that starts on the first rains with dancing in the rain ought to do that. Centrally near some food places by the lake for the main meet up but neighborhoods doing the same ought to work. Of course a big party and knowing when the first rain will be so food could be prepared is tough to do unless instant BBq's work. I figure a safe bet is stocking up on beer getting near the first rain should work. It'll really work for scaring the kids seeing everyone nuts drunk dancing in the rain. Actually simplee parties would work building community. Maybe even a stash of fireworks for the start of rains. The fireworks if it's late at night could get some to realize the first rain arrive while they were sleeping. Should make some that get grumpy hearing fireworks happy to hear the noise. There's also the fireworks vibration helps increase precipitation. A study found downwind of loud industries there is less rain because the noise gets a lot more rain falling. Back to happy days with rain and the Lake happy.
  15. I don't advise testing that tropics at altitude. I know for a fact there are 60 degree temperature swings at times including waking up with ice on everything in the summer. 80F in day down to 20F at night makes the clouds freeze on anything. It's neat sometimes to be in the clouds but that's leaving you at least damp and sometimes soaked from the cloud moisture. Not bad during the day but the high altitude saps the energy out of you quick with less air.at 6,000 feet.
  16. Kind of tough judging weather. Temperature, humidity and wind vary how things feel. Then there's the all might sun god who can turn any cold day into hot once you walk into it. Rain is nice to have and worrying about the lake receding to out of sight isn't fun. My main figuring about weather these days since burning up working in the sun isn't much of a concern these days is what's the conditions at bedtime. Windows giving a breeze and the temperature right for just a sheet to sleep is what I like with or without rain ☺️
  17. Should of arrived a week and a half ago hmmmm. I know, take that up with mother nature. She's a little busy churning up hurricanes but call her anyway. Although might not be a good time for her to visit seeing what she is up to lately.
  18. I used a Janeth Garcia video for emails joking about. One heck of a way to not care about the weather or if forecasts are wrong, Just a tell us again. Rain wise I think dew doesn't get much attention. Although rolling in the grass it would, unless of course it's with Janeth Garcia 😊
  19. Ventusky.com changing the date forward to around sunday Monday there's a low that has spun up going north on the coast. Not sure if it could spawn a hurricane. The coast range should soften effects. Lots of times I've watched the storm rains be stopped from reaching Lake Chapala because of the mountains. Maybe if upper winds from the storm are headed to Chapala s few silver iodine rockets from the mountains could start some good rain.
  20. I feel sorry for the old days where hurricanes and worse could slip right in on an area. These days the filler jabber weather people do I get tormented wondering if these forecasters ever left the house never seeing weather.
  21. That's practically cheating it's such an easy bet.
