    My question is when the plugs only lasted 35k miles they were difficult to change. C/K pickups, A bodys, F bodys. Now they last 75-100k and are easy to get to.

    Anyone who has put headers or plugs on a Fbody had patience of a saint. Almost like a air compressor on a big cam.

    No wonder I'm sweating my nuts off Lol. Thought it was me just being sick. Big bay window acts like another heater when the sun's out. 20 degrees out and don't even need the fire going

    I'm not a fan of the way they build these new vehicles. A simple molded (or universal, flexible) hose with a clamp on each end worked just fine for 80 years of vehicle manufacturing. Why in the last 15-20 years do they feel the need to design and build these elaborate hoses?

    Seems to me they could cut back on a lot of manufacturing costs associated with all these fancy parts. But I guess clip together plastic crap speeds up assembly so they can sell more disposable vehicles.

    Day like today, full sun, 8 degrees out but 80 degrees out in the greenhouse, take the latest issue of Landline and go sit out there in a tee shirt.

    One of our chicken coops has a full wall of clear plastic panels on the southern exposure, cool air vents in the 6" space at the bottom from the inside and the sun warmed air exits a vent at the top inside the coop via convection. Temp difference in/out can vary but averages about 20 degrees, works well...
