So plan a longer trip next time over here.. I need the wiring mod and I got to get a transmission over to Newman Lake transmission guy Jon. More than happy to pay for fuel time Etc. Not to mention maybe honeybear can figure out my vitamin D level in order to start it again.

Don't you have any faith in our system?So you're not going to get an adjustable rate HELOC loan and put your home equity money in the market? Okay seriously... every outgoing dollar has to be for a need and not a want.

Jag1 Just curious the tool you used to check RF, what is it a voltmeter or is it another type of instrument?

One of these years (hopefully lots of years) my grandkids in Calif will probably end up with my pickup. Wondering if this ruling effects people with adrenaline in California. Law took effect just a couple days ago I understand. https://www.motortrend.com/news/california-illegal-ecm-tuning-smog-test/

Well be careful starting so early

That's what it comes down to is trust I think. Brother in law has their entire savings with a guy at a "Mom and Pop" financial advisor place. Wife and I kept waiting for them to tell us they've been ripped off. Never happened or not yet anyways. And they've done better than us over the years. Wife likes Fidelity brokerage and transferred her tax deferred employee stuff (IRA's, 403b7's etc) to them when she retired. My account was with Etrade then after 2008 market down fall went with TDameritrade. And 95% happy with them. "VIX and SPY are ticker symbols. Link below explains what "ticker symbols" are and explains it lot better than I can. https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/12/what-is-a-stock-ticker.asp

And the CEOs are not cooking the books saying they're exporting all kinds of stuff so different countries, sales looking fantastic and they said they were ctually paying down on debt... and it turns out they're not. And then you get to experience a stock split unknown to me at the time known as a "reverse stock split". This happened to me pre Enron era. but still sticks in my mind. That's probably the biggest reason why just stick with spy even though when Market fell apart last time I bought the vix but mostly just spy.

Here's chevron's dividend history you can see the percentage and I don't know of any bank offering anything close to what they pay. https://www.streetinsider.com/dividend_history.php?q=cvx

Yes all my trades from my account are short-term which means profit is subject to short term capital gains at tax time. Trades from joint account has been in chevron so long dont worry about taxes. Wife sleeps real good with chevron dividend. Which bugs me actually, I like more action but she's happy.

Boy oh boy understanding charts correctly that's a mystery right there You can go to stockcharts.com and use the free side they've got a lot of indicators you can put on there if you'd like I highly recommend their chart school it's took me quite a while to go through it tell you the truth. And not all of it sticks in the head so I constantly got to go back and look at stuff to re-familiarize yourself. I've got a daily routine that takes me about 20 to 35 minutes to go through everyday. Best advice as I give on stocks is do-it-yourself. don't rely on any other source. (added) My usual go to stock is ticker symbol SPY which is just the SP 500. Nothing fancy and NO leverage. I usually just follow the MACD up and down. Those are the blue bar lines on above chart I posted.

I've always liked copper for that does ticker symbol f c x that the bill for that?

Jag1... What are some good Ideas???

Thank you both for responding. It's going to take me time to work through this. I sure hope it's not wiring with rodents. Squirrels do like the place... anyway my second gen has been parked also but only from about 2018.

For medical reasons (wife) I can't use my 2003 little tiny Class C with a 5.4 engine in it. Parked since about 2016. I start engine and the generator once a month, get some oil splashed around and charge the batteries. I add a fresh gallon of gas about every other month which brings the tank just about full. Last couple months feels like a miss in the engine, do you think it's okay if I were to idle it more let's say maybe 35 45 minutes and at a higher RPM than idling speed would hurt anything? I let the license and insurance lapse being is just being parked for now, so can't take it on the street for a proper exercising. I also add gas treatment when I add that gallon of gas to it. So I don't think it's bad gas. Would running at about 3500 or 4,000 RPMs cause any damage, to see if I can blow some junk out of it? This thing loves to eat coilover plugs but the Miss now is not as rough as any bad coil over plug. Added... no codes. Fuel filter 4 or 5 yrs old. But only 3 tanks of gas thru it.

"going to be a fine line on when my 24v gets sold before it is no longer drivable on our roads I need to judge max price before worthless" Dont let a scrap yard end up with it. 5.9's Going for big $$ on farm/industrial applications?

The fuel system on these is exactly why I started learning about these and found this website. I had no reason to learn anything about 2nd gen's other than to check the oil cuz they last forever right? In our RV travels about two thousand miles from home the 11-year old Fass pump broke. In Yuma Arizona there's not much to choose from, the dealer said it'd be 2 weeks to get in and when I said it's got a Fass pump on. They said. OUR dealership only puts on OEM or back to OEM. And two Mom and Pop places that were commended could not get service for about a week. So one place said pump was good but I needed a different type of sucking straw. Have to order one "over night from Phoenix" arrived UPS by truck. Lots of " Air Freight prices" total rip! Broke down an hour and a half from Yuma. Big towing Bill back to Yuma too the second shop. Second Shop says oh you need a sump, but pump is working good. About an hour and a half outside of Yuma no fuel. Another big Towing bill. Spoke with the FASS people. Decided just to put on a new pump. Second Shop couldn't put on a Fass pump because he couldn't read the directions in English. But his brother 30 miles away has installed air dog pumps before and translated. So the decision of airdog or FASS didn't come down to the pump came down to read the directions in English. So then about an hour and a half outside of Yuma, discover that the sump was leaking. Drove from Yuma to Seattle changing diapers and bailing wire on the sump about every 75 MI. Then Between this website and Vulcan diesel came up with what I think is robust system in my opinion. Pump mounted up in back of the cab, all 1/2 line. Shut off valves to swap out pump for a cheap carter pump. Carry it under back seat, takes two crescent wrenches and 15 min to change out. Found replacement tank after a lot of looking. So now after about 2 grand of learning experiance at least I know something about the fuel system. Next step is the elec on these wonderful things.

The low pressure light... mine comes on at 5 lbs which is pretty well useless. I installed an adjustable Hobbs switch and after messing with the adjustment screw comes on at 12 psi now. Not sure if link is exactly what I have but there's lots that are adjustable. http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=ATP-BCS-003&Category_Code=BCS

Any chance you might know the brand and part number maybe?

Notice the end at the threads. Looks sort of like an air stone for a fish tank. "Sinistered" snubbers increase gauge readability by smoothing out pressure surges, pulsations and spikes, and eliminating instrument failure" I got mine at the local hydraulic Fix-It shop

Congrats!!! Correct, delayed entry good for them and you. For them...Having a stable full of recruits to draw from keeps numbers looking good. For you...able to plan ahead somewhat.

@dripley when people find out how long we've been married I always tell him murderers don't serve that long

Seems like the Marines has most of your interest.... go for it. Interesting how life turns out...In 1972 I also went into them using their delayed entry program. At that time signing up for 2 years was a sure fire way to become an infantryman. But signing up for more years, the more desirable MOS's were available. In signed up for 4 years with my understanding the Marines would teach me the trade of heavy equipment operator. Little did I know that "heavy equipment operator" was one of many other MOS's that people signing up for 4 years were assigned to. About a week before graduating boot camp I was informed that was assigned to Military Police. I didn't like that at all and was told I could dispute their assignment after reporting to my first duty station. Of course that was after going to the Army school at Fort Gordon Ga. Upon reporting to my first duty station (Camp Pendleton, CA) I checked into what the heck went wrong with my MOS assignment . Sure enough after starring at my initials next to "heavy equipment operator" for a long time, I was directed to bottom of the page which says in fine print, basically states that my desire to become an heavy equipment operator doesn't override needs of uncle sam or their "investment" of paying the Army for my schooling. So I learned a valuable lesson at age 18...pay attention the to fine print. Absolutely hated them the first year. Then some guy by the name of Nixon (also called Tricky ****) had what was called "the western white house". The Military Police and several other layers of protection, provided security when he was in town. Super easy and fun when he was in town, except super long hours. (At this time, women marines were usually pencil pushers only. Super easy to get a date because they wanted to see the western white house). Then I actually started to like this police thing. About the same time Calif passed a law that incorporated cities and county's had to meet certain law enforcement standards. They called it POST or Peace Office Standard Training. Being every piece of federal land has a federal magistrate that works with or administers and enforces law enforcement maters. The Magistrate wanted to have some people through the program, being we were one of many security layers at the western white house. Again, Interesting how life turns out... I was one of couple dozen that the USMC paid to go to San Diego Sheriffs academy. Then later one of these women marines (my pay clerk) I really took a shine to. Then we got married. Talk about civilian transferable skills, I was getting letters in the mail from cities that would inform me of their hiring process. wondering if I was interested. (The was not because of me, but the city would not have to pay for the POST training, being somebody (USMC) already did. At the end of my enlistment I had my fill of police work and got out. (You only get spit on so many times) Driving a truck sounded fun and so bought a class 8 truck running coast to coast produce back east and dry goods back to west coast. . Turned out to be a BIG mistake, you can make lots and lots of money but you pay out even more lots and lots of money. (Lost my ***). About that time my Mom needed an operation and at this time family leave wasn't even heard of. My Dad still had to bring in the money and I took care of my Mom. After my Mom got better, I got a job (that was supposed to be part time) delivering freight locally. As time went on they used me more and more, and I went full time and joined there union, after seeing what their retirement program was. The assist manager was the Commanding Officer of the local Marine transportation reserve unit. He convinced me to not let my years of active duty service go to waste. But there was no way I was going to join his unit. I worked with him everyday and saw the mistakes he made over and over again. After delivering to McChord air force base for awhile I noticed how the air force takes care of their people. I signed up for 2 years and loved it. Any place wide body cargo planes are parked, that place usually has the best support, especially education. And I keep signing up till they told me I'm to old and they don't want me anymore. I took part in every large operation since 1993 that I could. Anyways...The Air Force actually stresses education. Matter of fact...has the only Community Collage of any service that I know of. Check it out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_College_of_the_Air_Force Again, Interesting how life turns out... Now back to that woman Marine that was my pay clerk. For her, the Marines were a way to get out of Lewiston ID. Nothing against Lewiston area, we love it there...but opportunity with upward progression is some what limited. She finished out her enlistment (at the time only about a third of women finished what they signed up for). Her service training really helped her in getting stuff done in the real world. She started part time as a janitor at a small health care company. Her small company got bought out by a large national building management firm. Her new firm paid for some education classes. She ended up getting couple degrees in building management and got promoted slowly buy surly up the corp ladder. Hardly anybody else took advantage of the program. She retired as building manager at one of Seattle's largest hosp's. Your first post on the 23rd was one day before our 45th anniversary...So 45 years later still my pay clerk.

(I'm retired 30 plus years military, so the is what my answers are based ) First off Congrats on going in. You'll have some of the best and worst times of your life. And will work for some of best and worst people. Does this mean you're set on them or have you signed some type of paper work or "locked in" to USMC. So then your age is 28? I thought cut off was 26 unless you had some skill uncle sam really, really wanted. Please answer above questions before I answer more. But overall an MOS with the most transferable skills to civilian life (that you qualify for) is more desirable and portable in the real world.
