Good morning everyone. I think that the basic inaction on the finanacial markets can be more effective than an actual war. US falters,everybody else pays. If things are getting screwy here guess how it's going in the third world countries. Actually, some things that should have happened years ago are just taking root right now. Pay now or pay later. One thing is for certain. You have to pay to play. I wonder how this is affecting the Euro on world markets. The game is over on hide the banana.

If he goes to a 12 step program there is no doubt in my mind he'll take the 13th step.

Got the check valve today and replaced it. No improvement. I did notice that the brake fluid was all the way to the top in the rear resevoir so I removed a little fluid and ran it. No improvement. Would bleeding the system accomplish anything or am I wasting my time? Whats next? Booster? Central Coaster; What is the reaction on the pedal when you pull vacuum through the check valve? Would I be able to feel vacuum pressure in the line that connects to the check valve? Any good leads on replacement boosters? Thanks.

Change....... If I am elected I will turn around the lack of wave activity. I will mandate wave reforms and make it a felony to ignore a wave. John McCain has not supported or even reacted to recent wave reform legislation. The Bush administrations failed policies on wave reform and lack of Republican response can no longer be ignored. Let me be the catalyst of change for wave reform. I will let you, the voter, keep the change.

By the way, my New World Websters Dictionary (which is somewhat old) says snark: an imaginary animal created by Lewis Carroll in his poem The Hunting of the Snark.

I ordered the check valve from Ecklers. Couldn't find the grommet but the old one will do. My wife has a feild day with stuff like this. I go to check something and break it.
 I'm bracing myself for the booster though, just in case.

Looks like I broke the check valve trying to inspect it. I tried to pry it off and the plastic housing broke. How does it come off? It looked like it just pried away.
Well I got it out but a piece fell into the booster. Am I in trouble or what?

So I've been a bad, bad boy and let my Corvettes sit for a few of weeks because the weather sucked. To start off with the battery in the 91 was weak and wouldn't turn over. Put a charge on it for a couple of hours and I went to start it and the security light stayed on, wouldn't start. Screwed around with cleaning the key, opening the locks , disconnecting the battery, combinations of stuff till I finally got the light to go out. What's the best way to reset vats anyway?
Next, I get it started and the SERVICE ABS light is on. I let it warm up and the light goes out. Get in the car and the ABS ACTIVE light flashes on for a few seconds and goes out Is it something to concern myself with or is it the gremlins of October.

Everything was fine. The Vette just sat for about three weeks and I get back in my 90 coupe and the brake pedal is stiff. Like it is getting no assist. Did the booster just up and die with no warning? I'm sure the car was angry for me not paying it more attention. Should I whack the booster with a mallet, spray something with WD40 or duct tape the canister? Your views and opinions please.

Is it possible to bring back crucifiction? Maybe just a little blood letting. Put them in stocks? (not bonds). Interesting thought there. Stocks and bonds are imprisonment devices. Oh well....... The party's over, (both democrat and republican), It's time to call it a day. We can sent all of them back home. There is no more money to spend. For all intents and purposes; We are broke ....

I've been a Moody Blues fan since the 60's. I've gone to three Moody's concerts and "meditated" to their music countless hours. I made a special vacation package to Las Vegas just to see them at Ceasars Palace. I could make a Saturday just on them. :pills:

Helio was in front of a judge today facing charges of tax evasion on $5 million. He has a nice home and some nice cars. Looks like his daily driver is a C6. Maybe it will go up for auction ........ Hhhmmmmm....

The camera vehicle drove through it like it was a Nascar wreck. Maybe the crash truck driver was talking with his wife on the phone. Notice that the cab was firmly planted till the top heavy trailer pulled him along for the ride. Death sucks. Stupidity doesn't help.

This really works like a cross promotion. Guru gets nationwide exposure. Enthusiast sells an extra 72 copies.
