My 22RE engine in my 1991 Toyota requires pulling both the head and pan to do the timing cover properly. That is is the time to send the head out and tune up the valves. My shop installed a performance chain and tensioners, said they last longer.

Glad to hear you are doing this on YOUR schedule and not on ITS schedule. Just like changing tires that must be changed. Do it on your schedule or... It is July 4th weekend. You are driving I5 South to Disneyland, and it is 105 degrees and the freeway is jam packed. You have a car full of kids who want to know "are we there yet" and "I have to pee". That tire you should have changed now blows out. Your mother-in-law is in the back seat grumbling about "some mechanic you are."

For starters, run the ESET online malware scanner. It is free and does not install anything. Let it scan your entire machine and fix what it finds. I will be VERY surprised if if finds nothing. I use ESET extensively on both my own and customer machines. It is ghastly slow because it is VERY comprehensive. It will attempt to clean (delete) bug files that it finds. This can result in lost data or system files. You have the option of scanning without deletion... but what is the point? These malware bugs steal your user accounts, passwords, etc, etc and deliver to The Bad Guys. Get them off your machine. You should have an external USB disk that you use only for backup of your important files. You can also store a Windows Image backup on this disk. Keep it online only long enough to backup your files. Malware is VERY infectious and spreads rapidly. After you are clean, you can tinker with the email system. [ edit ] After getting clean is the time to back up your data files to the external disk.

My Navy daughter and family were stationed there before returning to D.C. for the 3rd time. My grand daughter told me that Guam and Rota were the few places she would enthusiastically go back to.

So it had an IP address before there were IP addresses... Cool.

Naa. If you grow up with it, no fascination. Business as usual. Same as nude beaches... day in, day out, month in, month out, year in, year out. 😁

For me, it is practicing Gunfighter style every week at the range with a pair of single six 22s. Repetition brings improvement.

I have one on the back of our couch. Useful on nights when I'm up at 0300 and can't sleep. Hit the couch, read awhile, then crash. Blanket is necessary. Cat has his blanket up there also. I have been known to appropriate his as well as mine, as need be.

Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon series blew off getting a regular check and he is now dying from Stage 4 metastasized prostate cancer. Frank Zappa, Bill Bixby (the hulk) and SO many others died a useless death by skipping regular exams. Every man will get prostate cancer if he lives long enough. It is not "if" but "when". When your PSA comes back ugly, pursue it and get the prostate removed. Caught early (mine), it is now a non-problem. Let it go, and you are in for the (losing) fight of your life.

PSA saved my life. It found the cancer LONG before any digital exam would have shown anything at all. As a result, I was Stage T1C, the lowest detectable level. Johns Hopkins took a month digging through the pathology to find it.

Yes.

I admit to being partial to listening to and playing his work on the organ. Toccata and Fugue in both F-major and D-minor are special favorites. The musicianship of the above performers is superb. Thanks for posting.

My first thought was, "only down South". 😁 Then again, my wife is from the mountain country in PA.. and has a family stump of sorts..

Making it to 85. Anything beyond is pure gravy, unless burdened by health or dementia. I want to start playing live music and entertain again. Solo only. Multi-track recording of the instruments, so I can play live by myself.

Gravity 'n Ribs. I fault the photographer.

Fluffy is always on the mark.

I don't carry at all, nor do I have any weapon at the ready anywhere in the house. The last thing I need to do in a deep sleep is answer the phone and pull the trigger. My wife keeps a Louisville Slugger at the ready on her side of the bed. Besides, I live in CA and Gov. Nuisance tells me how safe I am in my home. 😁

Tough choice. If my conversation was with the driver, I'd sit on the rear passenger side. Reversed, if conversation was with the front passenger. We usually have five in a crew cab truck when going out to a lodge meeting other than our own. I sit in the rear passenger side so I can look out the window. In my youth I was a car sick puker... very embarrassing in a tuxedo.

The very first Beatles album, then the 2nd, the 3rd... I had a player that repeated if you moved the drop arm away, so it played next to my bed all night long. Yes, I still know the words and the music. The VirtualDJ program (freebie) has the ability now to separate music, instruments and voices. Each can be played separately, including Paul McCartneys stellar bass lines.

Y'all are missing the point. She's a babe with a YouTube channel, getting subscribers and making money. KInda like OnlyFans but without the sex.

And that right there, is why SO many guys strike out. Loose lips sink ships, and make the guy into a pariah.

When I left IBM, then later left HP, I did miss the work. Not the management.

Loose when the intent is lose

I submit surveys from our medical provider. When asked to comment, "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know."
