Snotty, sure come on out. I’m sure the 2 or 3 of us can get in more trouble than you ever thought of.

Oh yeah, hell, we could raise all kinds of holy hell, Christ! That of all things is what I am really good at! But are there a lots of snakes? Snakes and black widow spiders, hate those things, Chris Bangle too.
I do like the 75mph speed limits though. 80-90 is the speed I like to cruise at, over here, I’m constantly doing that on 55’s and 65mph speed limits, got popped last November down in Virginia Beach, 83 on a 55, I got it all dropped, but the fine was $100, damn court costs was $105??? WTF?!? But my lawyer charged me $800!!!
But, I still have my license, zero points, had to take a driver improvement course, online! One mistake on the final exam, was speeding at 125 the next morning going to work.... lol

Excellent, I’ve still got all my carpenter tools and belt.
Let’s pound/shoot some nails. I wired the last 2 additions back in MA.

[JimLev]

Snotty, yup we got some rattlers out in the bush, red racers, bull snakes, scorpions, small lizards, some spiders, coyotes, bobcats etc.
This guy was in our back yard, they are pretty tame.

Oh, I don’t know about that, Leo. Back in the Philippines, we were in my old Land Cruiser making our own roads in the jungle, hunting wild boar. Anyway, it was an FJ40, so I had my roof off, windshield strapped down on the hood. One of those green vipers that roost up on tree branches, wait for prey to walk by, down below, they puposely drop out of the trees, bite you on the way down, the venom kills in about 40-45 mins. Sucker came down and bit my buddy Lincoln on his neck. I had a snake bite pack in my first aid box, and these two rubber caps that hold the kit also double as suction cups to suck out the venom, really, holds some of the venom at bay, man, I was driving like a mad fool in the jungle, had to use the winch to pull us up a ravine, got on a road and got lucky getting him to a small medical clinic in a small town, 20 mins away from where we got back on the road. He almost died! I hate snakes!
I’ve also had a white cobra try to spit venom at me on another hunting trip, yeah, I’m real Leary of snakes!

[Leonator134]

Yikes!!! That’s totally fair. I have yet to have a bad snake related experience.

Ticks though man.. don’t even know you got bit till it’s too late.. lyme’s disease is no joke

It didn’t help that I spent a lot of time goofing around on a golf course when I was a kid, got chased by a dark green snake, looked like about 12 ft long, sucker was fast, but I was faster, but I was smaller, so it was probably 6 ft long, didn’t try to figure out what kind of snake it was, all I know was that it was pissed, it was chasing me, so I bolted. Stupid thing chased me for quite a distance! Been afraid of snakes ever since!

Yeah, ticks suck too. A friend of mines daughter has lyme disease, she has her good days, and her bad days.

Will they scoop up a dog or small kid?

My buddy has a bad case of Lymes. Been almost 9 months. Multiple rounds of mega antibiotics and stuff. He gets bad brain fog and joint pain. Bad stuff. Worried about his job and family. Many docs blow it off and then time goes by and the disease sets in hard and its too late at that point. They say where is the bullseye rash, etc etc? Then blow you off. Not everyone gets the rash and symptoms can start slow and be confused with other things. I had it twice and fully recovered by demanding antibiotics ASAP. Its a big issue for a lot of people. Sucks as outdoors is so great except for them damn ticks.

Possibly small animals, I doubt they will bother small kids. I’ve seen them chase rabbits down the street. Bobcat is fast.
The coyotes are the ones that will attack just about anything when they are in packs. Usually I only see 2 or 3 traveling together, they usually split when the see people.

Bobcats aren’t usually a problem unless your dog is small.
Cougars/mountain lions though? Scary.
I can hear packs of coyotes yipping at night if I have my window open.

Ugh, tired of heart problems lol. God had to nerf me somehow. Took a measurement today because I felt off. Resting heart rate at 50 bpm. Not as low as its been but I feel like crap all the time because of it. Unmotivated, no energy. Can't sleep well either.

If you haven't had a chance, Top Gear's tribute to Sabine is absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend a watch.

Have tissues ready. I did a full on ugly-cry.

Rest In Power, Sabine.

Cgreen, have you gotten checked for sleep apnea? If your heart is not in the best of shape, and you sleep like crap, constantly waking up, I take it you snore? Get a sleep study done.

Yep, shame she passed away. The world needs more people like her. One of my heroes! RIP.

Kinda interesting - the coyotes here are timid even in groups. Might get a dog but would never ever come up after a human/adult.

I have sleep apnea; I'm fat, plus it runs in my family It sucks, but once I got used to my APAP machine, I have felt 1000000x better.

[seagreen323i]

Haven't gotten checked, figured it would be an issue my age. 20th birthday coming up on 4/20.

Work on the fat, Nate, you’re still young. I never had a weight issue all my life..... until now. I’m in my 50’s and this getting old bit sucks, worse, I am getting freakin fat, never weighed this much before, I keep telling myself that I will start working out, I built myself a small gym in the house, that was two years ago, I worked out a few times, just have not gotten into the routine for some reason. But I will! Sure, I said that two years ago.... but you, since you are still young, work at losing some weight now, it gets harder the older you get.

I know, I need to. I'm not 18 anymore either, and I can feel it haha. I was never small/light, and didn't grow up a happy kid. When I got a job (at a pizzeria, lol) and went to school, I used food as a coping mechanism. Should've probably used the food money to pay for some type of therapy but hey. I am happy with who I am now, and I want to make healthier decisions for myself in the long run.

Anyone know anything about Toyota parts? I have, I believe, a bad ECU in my 95 Camry V6 LE. A capacitor has clearly puked on the board, and I was able to find another 95 V6 Camry LE ECU, but this time from a North American built car.

Original part is 89661-33420 VIN JT2GK13E6S0086786
Junkyard part: 89661-06200 VIN 4T1GK12EXSU088425

I found another Japanese ECU w/ the same part number, but it had the same (worse, actually) corrosion under the capacitors.

Change the capacitor and repair the traces if they are damaged.

Ordered from DigiKey. 10uF50V capacitors. Got 4 Panasonic automotive ones.
