    Same thing here, only in reverse order. Got engine codes for the fuel rail circuit. Replaced the fuel rail and then the high pressure injector pump showed itself in the road test. Had to replace that, as well. There are two sensors on the fuel rail, one is a relatively cheap replacement, the...

    Drought-stricken town is taking a page from NASA

    O.C. Fisher Lake in San Angelo. It used to be a 4500 acre reservoir. Now it's a small puddle. Check out the rest of the lake's picture at this slide show.

    talk about class warfare

    The Yahoo story is written by Donna Gordon Blankenship of the Associated Press. The Reuters story is written by Anna Yukhananov of Reuters. US News and World Report has their own version, as does the International Business Times and the BBC.

    CV tires

    I use Michelin AT/2 tires because of the decreased rolling resistance, and because they have more tread to begin with than other "e" rated tires. I'm a tread junky. Many people rotate tires left-to-right and not front-to-back, and just replace them in pairs as needed.

    Free cellular... only for welfare recipients

    As Leo stated, do keep in mind that when you post a picture containing text, it is exactly the same as if you typed the text yourself. The above picture, for example, while funny, is nothing more than calling either the post ("That's stupid") or the poster ("You're stupid") magnitudinally stupid...

    talk about class warfare

    Well, the Yahoo headline of "Healthy eating is privilege of the rich" is more commentary than fact, as it's not really a privilege of the rich at all, but is a headline designed to get people mad at the rich. I saw the most commonly posted headline yesterday, that of "Study shows eating healthy...

    Israel approves 900 East Jerusalem settlement homes

    I think we should just ship a planeload of Slinkys and Etch-A-Sketches to the region. Instant peace.

    Here's a Washington Times editorial from a year ago that pretty much nails it. EDITORIAL: Kill the Universal Service Fund - Washington Times

    Things that make you go, "What?"

    It's probably the "LA" thing in this case, but it could also be that the QC just thought you were someplace else. Once I was sitting in Barre, VT and the QC had me sitting just outside Marshall, IL. Another time I was at the TA in Laredo and the QC had me in San Antonio, which was at least in...

    Here are some guys u may have known

    The ones that bother me are those who are members of the related subcommittees (the Armed Services Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, and the Defense Committee and the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Committee in the House). It just seem...

    You thought it would be more appropriate that I call him that name? I wasn't even thinking it, nor would I call him that even if I was. I cannot imagine how you think it would be more appropriate. While it is generally true that forgiveness is easier to get than permission, in this case you...

    How Did We Survive

    Unfortunately, based on the state of things and the the younger generation of today, we may have learned how to deal with it all, but we clearly failed in passing that knowledge on to our children.

    "So nice of you to take the high road, O'self-absorbed one," he said as he looked up from the rain-soaked low road. "No... you aren't a whining hypocrite. You're just a conceited punk," he said as he slipped in the mud and fell into the gutter.

    Rethinking 9/11, and other rants

    That's the bread and butter of the wacko conspiracy theorist. It's what happens when the only knowledge of the issues come from the parroted claims which support the belief. The argument is one of emotion and ignorance, not intelligence, and it doesn't take long for them to run out of "next...

    dropped phone

    When I got the phone I bought a case at the same time. I think it was a BodyGlove, but I can't remember. It was what Verizon had available with it. That thing lasted about a month before the little tabs broke off. The Seidio case has been no problems. I miss the soft, poofey leather case of...

    MotorKote Lubricant

    If you use a good quality oil in the first place, and perform regular oil changes, why on Earth would you use Lucas? There are no additives in Lucas (it's basically straight 70 brightstock with no additives whatsoever), and it's the additives in the host oil which break down, so using Lucas...

    Good thing you have the GPS coordinates geoTagging on your DroidX turned off, because the EXIF contains just about everything else, including the date/time the original was snapped. :D

    dropped phone

    I also have the original Droid, but with an extended battery and case from Seidio. Like I said, I've dropped mine a few times, on asphalt or concrete, once on the kitchen floor, but several additional times here in the van, but onto the carpet in here. Usually when I drop mine, it's the...
