There's kind of a public rumbling, which is gaining traction, that the city should just have them all move here with water, etc. Just to get them in a central location, and get them some things they need.

I thought all Walmart parking lots have free camping...or are those packed already?

Yea that's bad....haven't had to use the extender with the desktop. I think these are 2.5 GHz.

Yea, the box says 2.4 GHz (not 2.5), approx 30'. I haven't challenged that tho.

The Walmart in SLC has covered parking, so I wonder if they get "shooed" out of there? Not too sure on that one. Good point though.

Yeah.... it's kind of strange. There was a Ford dealership on this chunk of land, years ago called Rick Warner Ford Truckland, where as you can guess.... they sold Ford trucks. They doubled the parking by doing this, but yeah... large expense to incur.

This damn 2006 Escape.... my daughter said the "OD Off" light was blinking, then the CEL came on when she started it at school. She called me at work and asked me what to do because she didn't want to just drive it (yes, I've taught her well). I sat on the phone with her while she drove around the parking lot.... and she was a little hesitant to drive it because it didn't feel right. Can't blame her, she's a new driver. So I called and had the Wife go over to the school and drive it back home. My Wife told me "the rpm's seem a little lower than usual". So, I knew the trans wasn't slipping... so I thought maybe the TCC had a lockup issue. Most of the time when these CD4E's have a TCC issue, the motor will stall when you put it in gear or when you come to a stop. So the jury was still out. Last night I scanned it and got the P0743, which is "TCC solenoid circuit failure". I've got a couple used CD4E solenoid packs, but I don't want to **** around with those. So last night I ordered a whole new valve body and solenoid pack for it.

I had an appointment to get the windshield replaced yesterday, but I wasn't able to scan it before the appointment.... so I cancelled the appointment. I didn't want to throw a 240 dollar windshield in it and have the whole trans be bad. I would have scrapped the damn thing at that point. I can deal with this though, LOL. The trans only has about 1500 miles on it, but my Buddy just cleaned and put the old valve body and solenoid pack back in it. I can't complain... he didn't charge me one red cent to build it.

Good morning thinkers!- back from our trip to see the F-I-L, new blue run really well- 18.2 mpg on the way back- and thats not eye dropping it, we ran hard when we could!
Ok, fellers, im asking all you guys, im starting to get a little wear through on my steering wheel- is there any coating to apply that will cover, coat, keep the wear from happening?
Just on the top, right now, but id like to get it under control. Its black, so any fix might be more difficult to see.
White, fwiw, we have a large homeless population- theyre inder nearly every bridge, especially close to the river. Like you said, though, the city officials dont give a tinkers dam.
Fellers, have a great day!
