We installed carburetor kits, gapped the plugs changed the condenser and points, and then used a timing light to set the timing on the engine. Remember when you were letting the oil drain from the crankcase you got the grease gun and lubricated the ball joints? Noel Yep, but no more. Suspension components are now "permanently lubricated" and they are... until the rubber seal around the joint splits and the permanent lubricant comes out, then you replace the part. My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.

Back in those days most folks took the "hobby" seriously and formed clubs and/or emergency teams, used their call signs, and generally behaved sensibly! Fr.

The only time I'm on foot anymore is from the handicapped parking space at WalMart where I use my cane to walk into the store and then use a shopping cart as a walker. I have bad feet and a balance problem so walking is a thing of the past for me. Leaving the annoyance of a phone on my desk when I go out is worth any risk I might encounter. Fair enough. I was only concerned about your safety.
