What a lovely weekend:
1. Locked keys in th DD XJ, so I had to break the rear glass;
2. big truck has coolant pissing out 2 spots on the intake;
3. progress on the Jeep got held up by one of the fittings on the tranny being stripped out and will need to be re-tapped(also one on the motor but not esssential);
4. ran out of oil on Sun.;
5. power out this morning and didn't think about it until Oil guy says "did you see that tree" which is next to my driveway and pushing all the lines down. While he's filling up the oil I hear a buzzing and figure its downstairs and realize it might be the boiler, so run down and both units are humming. I have both shutdown until the power guys get done. Hopefully too low of power is not letting it run. Awesome

Do you have power locks? I do, when I find myself with plenty of free time I am going to build myself a long-range RKE setup. Another plan - get the key duped and keep the spare in your wallet, I do that right now. I know hindsight is 20/20 and all but it works pretty nicely.

x2. That's what I did for the camry and Jeep ever since I got locked out once.

Then again for the Jeep it was more incase I lost my keys somewhere. The Jeep has a "feature" where the passenger side lock pulls/falls out and allows me to unlock it w/o the key.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So my boss just got in and said he knew the weather would be crappy this morning and didn't feel like setting his alarm.. so he didn't. Then he didn't feel like rushing in so he just kinda stayed around the house. Why do I even make an effort to be in at 8AM every day? I think the earliest I have seen him in over the past 2 weeks was 8:30... and that only happened once. Every other day it has been 9 or later. Then he usually leaves earlier in the day than I do as well.

Yup. He's about 8 cubes down from me. I actually met your ex about a year ago I guess, Ben L'Bassi, his wife, and his daughter (forget her name) recruited me and about 3 others from my team to run a computer/tech fair for highschoolers at the boston museum of science. Small world, eh?

they have 2 daughters. i wish i could say i dated the younger, prettier, smarter one. but nope, i didn't. my ex was amanda, little sis was alyssa. btw, don't mention that to him haha. yeah they participated in a robotics competition or something...

haha, yeah as a general rule I don't even mention stuff at all unless someone else brings it up first.

Robotics competition was separate I think, that was at a school in shrewsbury or something? lego robotics FIRST type thing but for middle schoolers?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have about 8-10" if you want some. Both my plow YJ and my little VW are stuck. Now I have to go pull them out with the XJ. Stupid amount of snow here.

nah i'm kinda sick i don't want to deal with it

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

You probably just want rg-58 coax with PL259 connectors crimped on, measure out exactly how long you want it to be using string and tell me and I can crimp one up for like ten bucks as soon as I find my reel of coax. It'd be cheaper but I have to buy the connectors :roll:

kennnnnn hook me up. ill get you a length sometime.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I need to pick up a CB antenna and install it in my dash.. speaking of which I have to start pulling all my speaker/stereo wires out of my dash. Maybe that will be tonight's project since I can't do too much work to create a huge mess. I'm not looking forward to running new wires but it needs to be done.

So Ken, when you get the stuff to crimp up a wire you want to pick up some extra so you can make me a coax? I don't have a spool of coax sitting around like you seem to.

sure, no problem. It takes like 5min, I got the crimper tool a while ago while I was building some direction finding antennas and needed a silly number of precise-length coax patch cables.

Sure, just let me know when, I usually just hit radio shack for connectors but it's sounding like this might warrant a trip to Stark Electronics for a bucket of PL-259s.

whats the diff between RG59 and 58?
