    Ford Escape - replace degas bottle to thermostat housing hose assembly?

    My wife’s 2104 Escape went to the dealer for two recalls. They called to say that the car should get $600 replacement of its degas bottle to hose thermostat housing hose assembly. It has a 2.0 twin turbo engine. I DuckDuckGo-ed this and came up with nothing but a bunch of generic different...

    Who’s got a tractor or backhoe?

    What did you get? Why? What do you do with it? What attachments do you have? I bought a Kubota BX23S backhoe in 2018, because I always wanted a backhoe. This backhoe is small enough to easily trailer on my utility/car trailer. I knew that I would use it to take care of my 2.6 acres and 600...

    Who makes their own Christmas card?

    I’ve been into photography since the 4th grade (1966). A bunch of years ago, I decided that just taking the photos, without sharing the memories with friends and family was just not very rewarding. I use photos that I took during each year and make a montage of them. We send them out as our...

    Who saw a UFO?

    Ok. This evening, I was relaxing in my pool, looking up in the sky, when I saw an airplane flying about 35 to 40 K in the sky, with a bright white dot following it about a few hundred feet behind it. The white dot slowed down and the gap between it and the plane got larger and larger. Then the...

    For B Bodies Only website hacked again?

    Since yesterday evening, I am being redirected to a “Congratulations, you’ve been selected...” website after being on a page for a few minutes. I am using an iPad to view the site, and I thought that would prevent this kind of misdirection. FABO is working fine though. Does anyone know why...

    For sale ‘67 Notch Barracuda $20K - not mine - NJ

    Not mine, but if you enlarge a couple of the photos, I think the seller’s phone number 609-479-6509. His name is Roger. I saw it on the side of the road today. Sign says 440 auto with 3.91 rear, so you know that it isn’t original. I saw no bubbles anywhere under the paint, but it does have...

    Vince Papale!

    We met Mr. Vince Papale today (thanks to Fratzog Lover!!!). What an awesome and down to earth man. The movie Invincible was based on him joining the Eagles. It was a very nice movie, but Vince was super to meet in person (I’m not even a pro-football fan). My wife was so awestruck that she...

    Bald eagle sited from my living room!

    Here is the eagle that I just saw while sitting in my living room this morning. This is the first bald eagle I've ever seen on my NJ property. Pretty awe inspiring. He didn't like his picture being taken and he flew away before I got more shots of him. Here's what my rear patio's view is like:

    Where are my scuba divers???

    OK, I'll start. This is me in front of the Tursiops dive boat on 12/1/16 in Nassau Bahamas. I went with my wife, Nina, Fratzog Lover and his wife. We dove twice that day on several boat wrecks. Water temperature was 76 at a depth of 85'. I use an Oceanic data mask with a back-up wrist...

    New pool liner anyone?

    Well after winterizing my pool 6 weeks ago, I found the water level had dropped 1.5 feet. At that rate, the pool would have been empty before spring and a wind storm could have blown it away. So I had to bite the bullet and put in a new liner now. It is really funny that as the years go bye...

    Prayers needed for a Veteran

    Hello my friends! Please pray for my father-in-law. He has been in the hospital for two weeks now with a strange ailment. He was out of his mind, living way back in the Korean War and calling in air support while sitting in his hospital bed. Kind of funny, but oh so sad. Only my wife (and...

    Mystery Part on rear differential

    I am working on a case involving a triaxle dump truck (a young man was run over by it as it was backing up). One of the photos showed the rear differential with a strange thing on it (the arrow is pointing to it). What is this thing? Is it related to the back-up alarm (which was working...

    GMC alternator acting funky

    i have a 2008 GMC Yukon Denali XL AWD (only put a couple 1,000 miles on it so far). I noticed that the volt meter in the dash would sometimes read right at 14.0 volts and other times it drops to 12.3 volts. After a cold start, it immediately goes up to around 14.5 volts, but as the engine...

    So you need and air conditioner?tl

    reading another AC thread reminded me of a past life event when I was assigned to Kunsan Air Base in Korea (1981). I was an engineer assigned to a civil engineering squadron and during the summer in South Korea, it was mandatory to wear long sleeves even during their hot/humid Summers because...
