That can't be. Lucretia said that it is a myth.
Most people driving through SK are going through the southern part, much
of which is flat. You run into rolling hills in other parts, but there
is a whole lot of flat.

Well it wouldn't surprise me that two men might be less observant

Yeah, to him. I never asked him for help with *anything*. I certainly
didn't email him constantly, 6 times a day? LOL About what?

He seems to think I wanted a "relationship" with him just because I said
Sheldon wasn't necessarily a rude crude person in real life.

Apparently I was mistaken.

Popeye sez it's FLAT.

It IS FLAT.

Now, yoose know that Popeye is always super horny. He just can't help it.

If yoose had dated him, yoose would have seen that he's the strongest

It would probably take me 20 to 60 minutes. I change the wires too. I'm just slow. There's no telling how long it would take to change the plugs on a modern V6 with a transverse mounted engine. The sky's the limit!

If your Pajero had a 6 cylinder engine, it would be in a V configuration, with two banks of 3 cylinders. A straight 6 has 6 cylinders in a line. There's not many manufacturers interested in making an engine like this these days. These engines mostly died out in the 70's so I was surprised to see one in the Jeep.

Many new cars require special spark plugs, available at the
dealership, they are expensive, like $20 per, and need special
software to check the gap and are firing properly. On the plus side
newer vehicles don't need plugs changed for 100,000 miles. There
really isn't much an owner can do themself on new vehicles, there are
computerized sensors on everything, even the gas cap. My wife just
had to buy a new gas cap, something died in it and an idiot light came
on. If she went to the dealer it would have cost $120 just to put the
car on their computer and then they'd charge double for the new cap.
She had purchased one of those thingies that you plug in to a port
under the dash board and it checks all the computer moduales on the
vehical and by bluetooth sends a report to her smartphone and she can
send it to her printer. She did the printout and it indicated the gas
cap was defective, she ordered a new one from Amazon and replaced the
old one. I inspected the old gas cap but could see nothing wrong with
it, probably some internal circuitry died. Anyway with the new cap
the idiot light went off after running the engine for five minutes...
Amazon charged $28, the instruction that came with the cap said to run
the engine for a few minutes giving the module time to scan and
correct. My thought was that if you go to a full service gas station
they could easily swap your cap for their defective one... another
reason to pump your own gas or at least get out of your car and watch.

I didn't surprise me that you would not do a little virtual tour of SK
with Google Maps street view to take a reality check and see how flat it
is. It certainly is scenic. There are no hills or mountains to get in
the way of a good view. When you go further north there is lots of
trees on either side of the highway, but the roads are flat in front and
behind.

Nobody really pays any attention to his rants at any rate. I imagine he's

You could go across the entire United States. At least one guy, in Rwanda has.

That's true,too. But she didn't mention any trophies this time or even

Isn't that a good thing, though? You don't want them wandering off on
their own. God knows what would happen.

Well, someone has to be responsible for them.

I actually think I started this whole thing simply by asking Ed how his
new house was coming along. Wow. Didn't mean to set off a firestorm of
basement opinions. LOL

Ed and his wife are moving to a place which will work for them. Too bad
Sheldon thinks it's a terrible decision. No basement. No stairs. That
must mean it's a mistake.

I doubt Ed will regret the move. Or yearn to go back up north to deal
with snow and stairs. He might miss occasional trips to Vermont for
syrup.

If your Pajero had a 6 cylinder engine, it would be in a V configuration,
with two banks of 3 cylinders. A straight 6 has 6 cylinders in a line.
There's not many manufacturers interested in making an engine like this
these days. These engines mostly died out in the 70's so I was surprised to
see one in the Jeep.

I'd like one big snowfall a year. Two feet would be good. The constant
snow, slush, cold, dark, and everything that goes with it for weeks on
end will not be missed. Would be nice to visit a day or two in October
too.

There are a lot of factors that go into making a decision to move like
this and what is a positive or negative for one person can be the
opposite for another.

OTOH, I did hear that 18 million people in Florida are going to start an
exodus to New York state. They have been inspired to have basements.

Well, they can stop by Sheldon's and avail themselves of his extra produce,
if that's not available there's always the wildlife to feast on. ;-)

I do enjoy the 4 seasons. Too much of any one is too much for me.
Winters are mild here mostly but one giant snow here is fun plus
it all melts away after a week or so. I sure would not enjoy warm
then hot and humid Florida weather all year long.

Very true. Just hope you didn't pick a sink hole area that

I watched a special on those sinkholes, one guy in his bed when it happened,
I doubt that they ever found him. Geez, I'll take the earthquakes.

We will be moving in the next 3 to 4 months too. We are not moving as
far as you, only about 4 hours north by car.

We are doing it because we are sick of living in a city of 1.6 million
and also because we will free up large chunk of money to use for
travelling.

Our property here will sell for upwards of 600k, property here is
expensive. We are moving to a seaside town and port of 37k people. It
still has all the services we want, and opportunities in fishing,
mining and logistics for our grandsons who will be moving with us. We
will replace our property for a comparable one within walking distance
of the beach for about $250k.

My husband is not that interested in travelling but I am, and so is my
Besty ;-). I travelled a lot for work and the bug hasn't gone yet.

In the late 1980's I was going to drive from Memphis to Nashville to
visit a friend from high school. I had the oil changed a couple of days
before the trip. They did replace the oil cap but tightened it too much
and it cracked. I was on my way to work the next day and the oil light
came on. The full service station where I'd had the oil changed was on
the way so I pulled in there. Big OOOPS on their part! Fortunately the
oil hadn't all leaked out so the engine was fine. They replaced the cap
and refilled the oil, no charge. Could have been a real mess if I'd
been on the Interstate before I noticed the indicator light!

Sounds like a good move, as long as you have a basement. Now is the
time to start hauling the excess stuff to Salvation Army or Goodwill
stores if you have not already. We got rid of quite a bit of
accumulation that we just don't use any more.

Seaside town sounds nice, so does travel. Our days of travel are pretty
much over so keep it up while you can. We can still do some domestic
but have to haul some medical stuff. International nearly impossible so
I'm glad we did when we did.

No basement, and a concrete slab!

I have been downsizing stuff for the last year. I started packing
stuff in boxes to take, after about six months I realised that if it
had been in boxes for six months and I didn't use it I probably did
not need it.

We are relocating the chickens to a neighbour and the last of our aged
pets has gone now, so we will not have the stress of moving animals.
My husband is interested in fostering for a dog shelter once we are
settled.

How I would have loved a basement when I lived in Perth! It would have
been somewhere nice and cool to sleep during the heat waves.

We lived in a basement apartment for a year. It was cooler in the
summer. It was also damper.

Dave, basements are damp,by nature. Most need a dehumidifier to keep the damp away. I consider
mine well-insulated and it is only half a story underground, and I run a dehumidifier...in addition to
using my central AC...all summer long here, where we have high humidity in the summers.
