Ahh, well maybe I spoke too soon? Seems like nothing has changed for some areas.. Weird though, cause I would have never expected the areas that are cheap to be cheap? http://www.idahogasprices.com/Price_By_County.aspx

Now, this is something I never thought I would see happen again... http://www.idahogasprices.com/index.aspx?fuel=D&area=Coeur d'Alene&dl=Y&intro=Y Now, the speculation begins... One thing I have heard so far is the fiscal cliff drama being the cause. Saying that with the next recession at the doorstep fuel is going down because of it. But everything else is gonna skyrocket.

It could be worse... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nj5Ha7PDjFM, Machine

Ugh... not the dreaded commerce clause. :doh:Watched a video series called, "Constitutionally Literacy", the mand defined what the commerce clause is to be. If you could believe it, it is definitely alot different than what they make it out to be today.To boil it down to its simplicity, IIRC, all it means is that the federal govt. has the oversight of a good in transport over its journey. So before a good leaves and after it arrives, the commerce clause does not apply. Only the duration of transit.

Now, to make it a real breakfast, you turn them into steaks, so it can help make the eggs and taters go better.

I wish you ALL a merry Christmas! Hope you all are having a good time with family enjoying the time together! Despite this, I hope to remind us all that we would do good to "remember the reason for the season".

I meant nothin in my response to anyones reply's. Just trying to simply clear the smoke. I cannot IMO seem to really be able to contribute much more to this thread. It will end up being along the lines of beating a dead horse. But, I will sit back and read others responses and only reply if deemed necessary. A polarizing has definitely taken place and people cannot seem to agree on a matter. All we need is to look at history. People need to stop experimenting for solutions... I will keep my guns, protect and defend when I have to use them when I have to and let the world do its thing... Whats wrong with this world people ask? Simple... We live in the times of the end of this age: 2Timothy 3: But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

I take offense to this... You said you come from a different country, so I take it you are not a US native. I have had some family friends who were natives to Britain. They come here and see a night and day difference. People who come from other country's tend not to care about our founding documents or understand them as completely as some American born citizens. This is not to say that just because we are born in the US we have the upper hand in understanding our own documents more than an immigrant. I just want to point to the fact that usually it means more that we as kids growing up are taught what it means and why. So we gain a deeper understanding of the importance of it. "I look at the cultural difference in that everyone here believes they have a right under the 2nd amendment Im personally like "get over it" - times change." This statement sets me off pretty good... You gotta understand something. I will be polite as possible as I do not want to make this thread get locked. Our constitution is supposed to be viewed as a LIVING DOCUMENT. This means that your statemnt is invalid and is not in the right view of our documents that make up the framework of this country. This also means that our documents are NEVER to be viewed as "open for interpretation". Thats why we have ourselves in the mess we do now, because all these idiots in our govt. running in the show think they need to revise what the documents say everytime a new generation comes along. Hence why the Obama admin. invokes the commerce clause for their healthcare mandate. When you view the 2nd amendment in its right light, you will understand that your statement will stem from ignorance. Don't compare our country to others. We have the right to keep and bear arms. WHY? To restrain the govt. from imposing TYRANNY on the PEOPLE. "Name me one good reason someone should have a gun ?? Its just everyone so scared of everone else in america they want one in case." Govt. tyranny! Self-defense of yourself/others. Thats TWO good reasons! ....I'm gonna go take a walk. - - - Updated - - - Chinese man attacks 22 children with KNIFE. What should we do about knives now? There everywhere. Everyone has one in their kitchen, should we lock them up too? What if a kid were to get ahold of one of these dastardly weapons of mass destruction? I suppose we ought to adapt the mindset of a liberal and allow the govt. to save us from ourselves! Before you know it, we will all be so SAFE from ourselves, we will be DEAD! They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin

...ahh the good ol' smell of red fir.

Let there be light! A turn for some change! The right change, too!

Mostly sound advice. Except, the only exception in the case of deterring such atrocities is to keep and prevent a "police state" from occuring. The last thing we need is an excuse for govt. intrusion and an excuse to setup for methods of monitoring and controlling our lives and actions. Thus, as to why I advocate perosnal responsibility. If the ones in the immediate area do the proactive approach and be alert and aware, train and arm, they are the first responders to the threat. No need for a hired govt. crony to patrol for us. Let us be the ones to police ourselves. The drawback to this is that there has yet to be a set of accepted standardization in which people learn and train under. If a course was offered to be nationally recognized as practice, it would make the people of the republic to further understand what steps to take next in cohesion, yet the two people hae never met before. A perfect example of this would be the fire service. Nationally, fire dept. all operate under NFPA guidelines. The depts. themselves workout the SOP's within their dept. for the smaller bugs. Just like State and federal...

Are you sure about that? If you think about it, they are more than likely using that as a cover up. Its their joints that are telling them the weather is gonna turn! Anyone who has the goold ol' arthritis is the perfect barometric pressure gauge...

Make no mistake about it! Obama is just a puppet. A pipe the piper. The real work is going on above. The ones who are pulling the strings are the ones you gotta watch out for...The bilderberg group is the ones calling the shots and this only serves to orchestrate this whole thing to one cumulative goal they have planned for ages.I'm buying more ammo. Not guns...

Yes sir! Even though everyone on here is not a believer, I'm 100% confident this is the very source of our problem/solution. We need to get God back in our lives! I'm growing impatient everyday yearning for the return of Christ. I'm growing tired constantly living in this world with a man-dominating govt. system. I look forward to having Yeshua ruling us on this world. He will rule with a rod of iron and he will be the most refreshing thing to have in this world. When the day finally comes that he rules in this world for the millenial reign, we will be doing this instead: Isaiah 2:4 "He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore." ALSO, WACH THIS: False flag event?

If/when me and the wife have little ones, we will be homeschooling our kids as well. I'm sole income at the moment, and hopefully I will always be able to meed the income needs to make that possible. Kudos, to you, my friend, for making that possible for your kids! LAWS although, do not protect anyone. Unless the law is ENFORCED, thats when one is protected by that law. If the day comes that "we the people" have to use our 2nd amendments for whatever reason, then so be it. We have to stand united to make sure we do not become "martyrs" for the cause.

WOW! This thread has gotten lit on fire! I almost feel like my opinion just is not going to matter in this conversation. A bigger understanding of the bigger picture is what is most important. Although, some will tend to diasagree on the subjct, I find it to be the source of the problem. I did not take the time to read everyones comment, so I apologize if repeated. Heres the deal with guns. Guns are just a "tool". Its a tool for destruction. It serves no other purpose other than to inflict damage upon an object. Living or non living. Does this tool mean its bad? No. What does a drill do? It puts holes into things. Does it mean its bad? No. It does not matter whether it is a gun, hammer, bat, knife. These tools all have a purpose. Whether they are used constructively or destructively. The matter at hand is the one who posesses this tool. If someone has a gun, they either use it for GOOD or BAD. What matters most? Controlling and regulating an oject that does not think or act, or controlling the subject that uses the object? I may sound religious, but I have good reason. When we gain an understanding that there is a problem in this world an it all boils down to the human we will learn why. When Adam and Eve sinned against God for the first time, sin entered the world. Ever SINCE THEN, man has always sinned. Evil entered into the world and we then became influenced by Satan and his demons. Genesis 8:21: The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. After the flood in Noahs time, God promised not to use water to destroy the earth to rid humankind. EVEN though our hearts incline to evil from birth. Mark 7:21: For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, Plainly put, MAN is the source of evil, sin. Our hearts have fallen to sin since the the fall of man at Aam and Eve. Why do I tell you this? Because we have to understand that as humankind, we are fallen. We sometimes are influenced by the evil from satan and our hearts incline to do what God has told us not to do. I will PROMISE you this, in this world, we will ALWAYS be faced with psychotic killers who go to schools and kill people. It does not matter whether or not if it is a gun, knife, bat, etc. Yes, to some extent the damage will be less due to a different approach in killing, but the intent of that person will not change. This is WHY gun control will NEVER work. If the USA was rid of all guns and there was never a possibility to be ever hit with a powdered projectile again, I will guarantee you, there will ALWAYS be someone using something else to kill others with. UNTIL the Lord does away with SIN, we will always be faced with the sorrow in this life. BUT, until that happens and that day comes to pass, we ALL mut be PERSONALLY responsible in protecting and defending ourselves and anyone who is INNOCENT. We have been fortunate enough though, to have a right endowed by our creator to do so. Because the founding fathers KNEW this, they made it apart of the framework of our country. It is our responsibility to defend and protect. Yes, we cannot be everywhere at one time, but we do what we can according to our capabilities. Our government has denied that GOD exists. They are removing him from our lives, and country daily. They are what is defined as "anti-christ". They believe THEY are the ones who get to write history and also control our lives. They DO NOT live by scripture, but their own definition or MORALITY. NOW, switching to the non-religious aspect of things, logistical nightmares. Malls, schools, etc. that BAN the possession of weapons is folly. As always stated, only law-abiding citizen are the ones who get hurt. We are effectively disarmed by the strok of the pen. Liberals who lack logic think that they have done right under good intentions. If you are a person who is wise, you either choose not to visit places that restrict your abilities to defend and protect or you disregard the ban on the presence of weapons. You also take that chance of being arrested and being guilty of a federal crime. But, sometimes you either do it or not do it and you risk the chance of being imprisoned or dying. Heres comes the twist in things, like I said, it is the person behind the tool that determines how that tool is to be used. For good or for bad? Those people who posses morality in the right VIEW of God, will only use such a tool for good. They cannot let themselves become a casualty of committing an act that goes against what God states. You can choose to protect and defend, or you can choose to kill and threaten. ALSO, I for one 'am NOT an advocate for open carry. Concealed carry is the best way to go through life. Openly carrying makes you a target, anyone who chooses to rob a place, commit massacres, etc. will scan the area for the highest threats first and removing that threat first BEFORE going after the weaker. IF you conceal carry, you are looked at like a weaker person than the uniformed cop that has his sidearm on his duty belt. A killer is going to shoot the cop before you, because that person does not see your sidearm. Use the element of surprise to gain an upper hand on the killer. Not only can you become the first target, but if you are not well-trained in hand to hand, you can also be disarmed EASILY. Now you don't have your sidearm to protect and defend. Carry concealed, carry what you can train comfortably with, use it, be someone with a MORAL compass, guided by Gods will. Don't let yourself be an unarmed person relying upon the lies of govt. protection or someone else. Its ALL our duty to protect others and defend others who are innocent. All it takes is one person, with the right set of circumstances and a well placed round to disable the evildoer. A teacher with a gun to protect a classroom of 20-30 kids is not an impossible task. The teacer has to stand between the kids and the killer. Being well-trained in their arms and knowing how to react to such a situation, allowing them to think in a high-pressure situation will spell better success than a teacher who is without. Try as we all might, even though we may all have guns, be well-trained and have the right moral compass, we will not all be to prevent the unfortunate things that happen in life. But that does not mean we as good men stand by and do nothing and let evil prevail. ....umm, so yea, I wrote a book!

...except when I get called a city slicker!

Sorry guys, I did not intend to get anyone fired up over this. I just figured it was so stupid it was funny. I guess it doesn't matter how stupid it is, when it comes to messing with our money.

Are you calling me a city slicker?!

Ah, thats right... I know a guy with a Snapon live tool. I suppose he will be hearing from me soon.

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpAOwJvTOio You know, seeing people like this, I can't even get angry over. I just cant help but laugh.

So, looking under the hood one day, checking the oil level, I noticed a hairline crack running right between cylinder 3 and 4. More than likely and I'm putting money it, the funky color I was seeing under the turbo on th manifold was probably this same crack, but I bet it has now traveled. If not though, and regardless, how much of this is a problem and do I need to worry? If this is a mandatory fix, what do I need to go with? - - - Updated - - - Nobody, eh?

I do not own any such electronics. Does an OBDII do that?

I recently have had an alignment done. About 2 months ago. I suppose I need to check any brake drag and fluids. Being that I moved, I somehow cannot locate my log book for my service work, so I have no idea if I'am due for any service work... :banghead:I think I will be converting to Amsoil synthetics as I do it next time too. Hope that will give me some more gains..BTW, last summer, I completely redid all my brakes. Rebuilt the rears, new shoes, drums, cylinders, etc. New seals, pads, and turned rotors on front. Put new brake fluid in at the time too...
