Starting Over

Ever since the landslide that wiped out my shop, displaced my good friend Mark Hall and his dog Hachi into my basement bedroom. It's been complete hell trying to find tools that remain and attempting to repair vehicles and house repairs, too. It's been a bad summer, and it just seems to get worse here at home, and frustrating. Winter is coming, and snow is not far away now. Just want to close this chapter and attempt a better start in the spring of the year. The last few months have been a pain

Driveway is finally clear and we can access the house normally!

Yeah I'm finally getting this cleaned up and can focus on getting my driveway back. As of right now the driveway is rough but accessible for vehicles to the front door. After I clean up the trash pile we will have parking area for all the vehicles here on the property. I'm racing against winter time to make sure I can keep my driveway cleared and open. The videos are while I was digging for the shop stuff and Mark personal stuff, if I got lucky but most everything in the house and shop was

Down and Out

Man, when it rains, it pours. Last Thursday, there was an internet issue beyond my reach. What would happen is try to access Mopar1973Man.Com website, the site wouldn't respond at all. Making matters worse that I attempt to reach the hosting company, and the same thing happens. No response at all. Yeah, panic sets in for a bit, but after making a call to the sales team, they clearly could see the server was running, and pages were loading normally. My problem was just after the ground station of

Landslide updates

Lot of you might be a bit upset with me not being available at the drop of a hat. Sorry! Since May 29th, my life has been turned upside down, and been dealing with all kinds of issues. For example, I had a brake malfunction on Beast and was attempting to fix the issue with limited tools, royal pain in the tail. Thor has an issue right now with the injectors (again) and is short on time and short on tools to really dig into this. I've had some luck and got another family involved, and was willing

First, I have to say, "If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all!" I've just had a series of things go wrong. First off, we are down to a single laptop for doing website work. I lost my old yellow box computer it finally died after 20 years of service. The old AMD CPU, the video software is no longer supported by Ubuntu. Just too old. Now my @MoparMom computer was our house server for the video cameras and storing the backups. This machine died with hard drives. Again 20 year

September Update

Some of you might think we are not around. Truth is, we are still working on cleaning up the shop mudslide disaster. Currently, we are down on vehicles, being that Beast just lost a starter, Thor had a random injector failure right at the time of the mudslide. Most of my tools and shop stuff are still buried in the yard. @Tweety Bird is trying to fill my shoes on the website by handling administrative duties. I'm working with the locals here to attempt to get use of a small track hoe and hoping

Oh my Redis and other things!

I've been working on improving the server's performance over the last few days. I've done some memory management with the Apache server and PHP compiler. The CLS issue should come to a close very, very soon. I've been testing the code every night to ensure it's working properly. The page shouldn't jump much at all now. I've got Redis Cache loaded up to see if I can gain a bit more speed or use less time to paint a webpage for members using mobile phones. I've gotta give it some time for the cac

Still cleaning up the mess slowly.

Today I was out in the yard running the little skid steer, loading bricks and concrete. Just getting things sorted out of the dirt is taking the most time. I just found the couch, which is pretty flat and crushed. Finding items from Marks' living room, I found the new but beaten network hub, which was less than half a year old. At about noon, it got pretty hot here, so we abandoned the front yard and came in. Still I've gotta give a huge amount of love for the Dischinger Family that continues to

My Roots, Where did the whole website idea come from?

During our digging around the shop, we found my old Atari 800 computer stuff. Sadly, the computer is most likely destroyed. How does this mean anything? My computer adventure began at a very young age, around 14. My parents bought me an Atari 800 computer. This computer was the starting adventure of communications, even before the Internet was out. I bought myself a 2,400 baud modem and a few other bits and pieces for the Atari 800, but I created my very own BBS. BBS stands for Bulletin Board Sy

YouTube, and more...

Hey Gang, I just spent some time going back to YouTube and doing some tweaking to my account. Now my Mopar1973Man.Com videos are still there, and I'm going to start building videos in the near future for articles. I'm going to still have to do repairs with what I have so this is going to get interesting working in the yard, doing repairs on Beast and Thor both in the wilderness of Idaho. Currently, the last few days here have been right about 95℉ to 108℉. Yeah, I'm going to be doing brakes on th

Performance Tunning for the Website / Server

I'm back at it again. I'm looking to make this website a hotrod as well. Still having issues with the Total Blocking Time of JavaScripts. I'm playing with the Google Pagespeed Module now on the server to help clean up the wasted bandwidth on unneeded things. It's all about being able to trim off the unused code and compress the required code, and get it sent to your desktop, tablet, or phone quickly. Part of this might take some time as the pagespeed module learns and creates methods of saving b

Personal Note

Hey there gang, I'm still here working at the website. I know there are people there that just don't understand why I've changed in appearance and my nature of being. Sadly, the whole aspect of my life was permanently altered when I had my last run of cancer. You have to realize I'm no longer able to work as a mechanic and do Cummins diesel work at a commercial level. I have an ostomy bag hanging on the front of my belly that is a constant reminder of the cancer I fought through alone. I deal w

We are back from our camping trip

@Tweety Bird And I had to get out of here and get some downtime. Extremely stressful to get up every day, looking out the living room window at an entire mess of my shop buried under tons of mud and dirt. It was wonderful to just go out north of McCall, ID for about 4 days. We didn't do anything but rest. Now we have returned home and are going to start making moves to clean up the main house with all the unpacking from moving to my place. Lots to do. Then still need to handle the mess in my dri

Google Search & Webpage CLS

I spent a good part of the day trying to recover from a loss of search engine ranking. Yeah, I have been super busy dealing with insurance agents and people coming and going. Now things are settling down, I jumped back into the website more so. On to the website stuff. My biggest hit was a problem called Content Layout Shift, or CLS for short. We had most of the mobile phone pages were as high as 0.44, which is a huge fail. Now to see this for me I have to logoff and view from a guest level.

Landslide - Update

First, let me say that for any of you who own your homes, please review your insurance policies. I just found out that the majority of homeowners are not covered for landslides, mudslides, earth movement (earthquakes), etc. Like me, it's a completely lost. The insurance policy doesn't cover this at all, not one dime. For all those religious people who walked up and said they would pray for me. They packed up and left the scene quickly and gave ZERO help at all. Even my neighbor who is part of th

As of May 29th, 2025 Mopar1973Man.Com Shop was leveled by a landslide!

Mopar1973Man.Com Shop was leveled by a landslide. Yeah, with a heavy heart, I lost my entire shop and guest house to a landslide. I won't discuss how this all happened yet. The biggest thing I lost was the entire building. My Best Friend, Mark Hall, was living in my guest house. He was one of the few who helped me out with my cancer. He was protected by a guardian angel. I just saw where his bed landed and what pinned Mark in the house. Mark's Dog Hachi made it too, and no injuries. We managed t

Looking for members that wish to help!

Hey there gang, I'm looking for people who truly want to get involved with the website. I'm adding functions like the Gallery so people can place there truck photos up and show them off to the rest of the world.

Terms Of Use and Policies

@Tweety Bird And I have been busy rewriting the terms of use and policies for the website. This is all new website software, and more features now than in the past. We felt that it was time to review the dated policies and realize we need to totally rebuild everything. Here, shortly, there will be a full database of policies for everything on the website for the usage policy. This is being built in a database so that when other issues develop, we can append to the current policies easily. This w

Stalled The Engine

I was attempting to keep you all informed of the work happening here using the Blog system. Sadly, there were bugs in the software, some bugs have been fixed. We made it to the Invision Community Version 5 software. Things have been a bit weird and tough for me to catch up and get everything working correctly. Blogs had an error where the categories couldn't be managed. When I attempted to delete one category, it deleted both of my previous blog posts. Opps. Yeash it sucked but I'll stumble and
