OK I'm bored. Thinking about car shows next year. We'd like to go to some bigger shows and would like your recommendation.
We already have MOPARS in the Park and Carlisle on the schedule.
If you know of a fun two or three day MOPAR show let me know.

Not a all Mopar show but it always has a lot of top end cars. MCACN in Chicago in November. I went for the first time last year. Great show and lots to do and see in downtown Chicago. https://www.mcacn.com/
Here's a FABO link to some photos. MCACN Show in Chicago 2017

Yeh, I changed that fan on mine years ago. Blows from freezer to fridge. I have a separate fan to the ice compartment. Ice maker has been off for about a year...If I turn it on it faults the boar and the whole fridge goes off on error. From what I read it can be fan, board or both. Don't need ice from the door bad enough to spend a few hundred on an old fridge that still works fine otherwise.

LOL yep. The icemaker was working but the ice cream was soft. "Hey wait a second, the fan isn't blowing"
I started it spinning with a screwdriver but it sounds like it want's outta there! LOL

Fixed. A $25 universal motor from our local appliance parts store. The original design was discontinued years ago.

Just back from working on this. 8x16 deck is done. Finished the rails today. Big stairway is getting trashed and rebuild the walkway yet. Just re-using the supports and joists, but almost everything needs to come apart. The deck had some 5/16 lags, but almost everything else was nailed.

The deck was still flat and pretty near square, but I did quite a bit of structural improvement. It's at least close to code now.

Rolling along the highway, then it starts going downhill. Ears pop. Hence the Ditch
