At my age, I don't want to waste any of the time I have left, and I don't want to spend it looking up stuff that the writer could have put in with a few extra keystrokes one time and then used the acronym afterwards. And the same criticism about the work ethic can be applied to the writer for...

Spot on. My mechanical knowledge is from a time when I can't tell you how many times I polished the points of a magneto on my Sportster with a matchbook cover and gapped its plugs by doubling the matchbook cover over. I know coil, condenser, points, distributer, carburator, engine. I figure I...

And thus we arrive at the problem. It's the assumption that the reader is familiar with all the acronyms. Not to blame anyone for using acronyms, but it's cumbersome to read a post when you don't know what the parts are, and some undoubtedly simply give up. Even 3 acronyms in a post greatly...

Try adjusting the float so that supply water fills the tank to near the top of the overflow tube. If the float shuts off the water valve too soon the tank won't fill all the way.

I know. I was in the USMC during the Vietnam conflict, and some of the more common acronyms were AFU, NFG, and of course, FUBAR. But the Ranger acronyms are driving me crazy. Too many electronic and computer systems.

In reading threads on this forum, I have become sick of acronyms. If you are going to use acronyms, please provide a compendium of acronyms used and what they refer to in your post, either at the beginning or end. Or perhaps someone can provide a listing of all acronyms used and the parts they...

My granddaughter, just after we spent months of driving with her and giving her a 2004 Lexus 330, rearended a pickup, probably while she was playing with a cell phone. It smashed the front end of the Lexus. I worked on it for months and brought the total repair costs in a bit over $1k. The...

Just turn it off and wear a coat when you are cold and take it off when you are not.

We used to own a Pinto in our younger daze.

That construction will never last. It's similar to the axial encoders in the jet computers I used to work on during the Vietnam conflict. The military spent around $800 on some of those and they had tracks made of gold, and they still would go bad. Guys would make cufflinks out of those that...

How did you print the mirrors?
