    Dented oil pan going over raised manhole cover. Immediate replacement or can it wait until winter?

    Can you drain the oil and put a long heavy screw driver into the drain hole and push the pan down away from the pickup? With some patience, I think you could do a great job! Kind of like paintless dent removal.

    What should I do with the dash?

    And, PLEASE replace that musty smelly insulation pad on the inside of the firewall! Make a stand for your dash for easy re-assembly too. Wiring will be so much easier.

    Roof Maxx shingle spraying treatment a junk product?

    Some of my neighbors had their roofs replaced by the contractors that scam the insurance companies and make it look like storm damage. I had my roof replaced three years ago after replacing it myself in 1985. Yeah, that's thirty two years! I guess I did a good job? Well, I'm too old to be doing...

    What type of jack do you guys carry in the trunk?

    The nicest thing that I've found is a scissors jack kit for a Ford F150. Around 2014. It's in a nice heavy plastic case so you can mount it so it doesn't bash the quarters out! Another option is the Husky scissors jack that the RV guys use. It's about $49.00.

    What's it Worth Thinking of selling my dad's Superbird

    Me knows nothing, but I think I would have the car professionally appraised and go from there. Then you know exactly where you stand. You need to come to grips with letting someone else care for it from now on. Contact Jay Leno and ask if he's interested! No joke. Someone will care for it better...

    A follow up to my cash question involving Bitcoin.

    No. They changed the rules now and all transactions are reported. No free ride. The gains are now reported and you are taxed on the capital gains. Wasn't like that in the beginning.

    DHL stop on shipping to U.S.

    So, one of my former workers that I have lunch with every Thursday bought an $800.00 Canon camera from a vendor in CHINA! It got shipped to Germany and DHL just froze all shipping to the U.S. If any one is thinking about buying from Europe, DON'T! Until they get this Tariff/Tax thing sorted out...

    Battleship NJ pictures

    I did a tour of BB-63 in Pearl Harbor a few years back. I was amazed at the wall thickness of the forward control way and hatches. Also the fire control for the 16" guns. G.E. Turbines stuck down in the engine room, but too much asbestos in there for them to let us explore. Very impressive.

    My life no longer has any value

    Bottom line is if you buy whole life when you're young, It's cheap (for the life of the policy). If you buy it when you're 40, it's gonna bite you in the but! They have to invest those premiums to pay you off later, or lose big if you die right away. At least with whole life you have something...

    My life no longer has any value

    $28,700.00 down the drain? WoW! I bought a Prudential whole life policy when I was 25 because I worked in alot of power plants and refineries and didn't want my Wife and kids be homeless. Paid $100.00/Mo. for twenty years and then the policy paid it's own premium and a dividend check to us...
