Glad I went over to disconnect the charger; the plug was a pain to pull out of the old trouble light hanging from the ceiling.
And then the darn cord would not retract.

This was good to see though....
That trouble light sounds like something my brother would give me.... just before asking for a favor.

Yea it's ancient, my stepdad bought it back in 1980.
I should get a new one and put it in there while she is on vacation.

White,
I believe it is car abuse to not use a Toyota filter on a Toyota, It deserves it.

How dare you !!!

Yep, for theft, collision, flood.... something like that.

I buy US made filters. The Toyota filters I've seen say:



I'm not paying 8 bucks for a Chinese filter.

AK was keeping tabs on him. I haven't asked AK for a while though if Bear is OK. Have you heard from him lately, @akdoggie ?

Unfortunately, the past few days have given me spring fever.... but it looks like it's going to go to hell on us again. The news said "possibly a foot" of snow in the mountains and benches. I'm in the benches.

You know that Thailand and china are two different places, right?

Like how Mexico is not yet part of the US, but soon will be (or maybe the US will be bought by Mexico; after all, they have all our drug money to pay for it).





I gota go out and look at my Motorcraft filters.... The last ones were made in Brazil.

I cannot recollect exactly, but I thinks I read recently about Thailand being waaay more cool than China. I am happy with their shirts, 'Nam's, S.Korea's, and others. But yes, I do agree we need to TRY to buy, US. There are a few things we do not have and must import, but I am in favor of limiting imports so that we make at least 51% of our EVERYthing. If they stop importing shoes, we will have to hustle to repair the loss of that industry we "outsourced." Last steel-toed Caterpillars I bought were V hard to find, $120 & I paid $60. They lasted 3 yrs vs 1 for others w hollow soles. I bought 2 pr. I'm good until I die.

But point taken. Also watch a filter video. Mobil1 barely edged out... one of them,.and the two wiped the other 3 one of which was Phram. Phram was once good. Phram is like AOL was - totally outsourced... does not really exist, except on paper. But Mobil1 had the only inspired anti-backflow valve setup.
