EriC^^good thanks :)18:00
BluesKajyeah, snowing and cold here too, blustery18:02
BluesKajwell it is winter in Northern Ontario. Gotta expect it sooner or later despite the mild temps we've been having :-)18:05
Bashing-omBluesKaj: Same here in Arkansas. This is our 1st cool spell . Has been very plesant to this time for Winter .18:06
BluesKajArkansas, you guys actually get winter down there? :-)18:07
Bashing-om:) Warm Blooded Southern Boy !18:08
pauljwi'm in indiana and this is our first cold and snow of the year, love it.  :)18:09
Bashing-omYesterday's snow and ice went South of me here .. I am glad to say .18:10
BluesKajI'm a norherner thru and thru, was born north of Helsinki Finland18:10
pauljw:)18:11
BluesKajthese old kness prevent me from participating in winter sports, so I sit in my easy chair and fool with Linux :-)18:12
BluesKajknees even18:12
Bashing-omAnd that cold is invigorating - rejuvinating effect on some ... However. I spent a Winter in Chicago - once - .18:12
BluesKajyeah, winter can be nasty there18:14
pauljwlake effect is bad in that area18:15
Bashing-omYeah .. I did survive .. Amazed me every time mu ole car started in that cold .18:16
BluesKajI'm 15mi from what's known as the North Shore/Channel on Georgian Bay/Lake Huron and we do get some lake effects snows18:17
pauljw:) i spent about 5yrs in MN in the early '80s and had an '82 diesel rabbit and one morning i came out from work to go home and my fuel had gel'd in the tank, i had to take a trash lid and charcoal and build a fire under the tank to get it to flow again.18:18
BluesKajwhoa ..18:20
pauljwafter that, i'd go out at lunch time and start the car and let it run for the rest of the night. :)18:22
BluesKajsounds like you may have had some condensation in your fuel tank18:23
BluesKajthat's a problem here when the temps get down past -15F , so most ppl add gas line antfreeze/alcohol to their fuel tanks18:25
EriC^^that's pretty resourceful18:25
BluesKajabsorbs the water in the fuel18:25
pauljwdon't think so, it's just the nature of diesel fuel.  many manufacturers offer tank heaters18:25
EriC^^i mean the using a trash lid and charcoal18:25
pauljw:)18:26
EriC^^i didn't know rabbits came in diesel btw18:26
EriC^^i had a mk2 16v as a first car, loved it dearly18:26
BluesKajok , don't know anyone with a deisel engine in their vehicle18:26
pauljwi loved that car18:26
pauljwBluesKaj, you are right with gasoline, i've used more than my share of fuel-dri..18:30
BluesKajI'm keeping my old taurus running for another yr before I trade it, only 55K Mi on it so it still runs fine.18:30
pauljwjust getting broken in!!18:30
BluesKajyeah, we don't have to drive very far to shop etc and we visit our kids a couple times/yr ,but not much driving otherwise18:32
BluesKajkids are 300mi and 450 mi away respectively, so not a lot of milage really18:34
pauljwi hope to get another 10 years from both of my vehicles, the '04 Trailblazer only has 82,000mi and the '03 Ranger Edge 4x4 has about 122,000.  now that i'm retired, i won't be putting too many miles on the Ranger and will use the chevy for road trips to see the grandkids in Wisconsin.18:34
BluesKajthe taurus is 11 yrs old, an '05 and we travel to Windsor/Detroit to visit our son and his family and my daughters and grandkids live in Toronto18:38
pauljw:)18:38
BluesKajenjoying my retirement as well pauljw18:39
pauljwnice18:39
BluesKajhad an old f150, but it finally died after close to 30yrs18:41
BluesKajit was a beater when I bought it and I drove that thing for 13 yrs18:41
pauljwwith just a bit of care it's amazing how long these beasts can last18:41
BluesKajtruly18:42
BluesKajI miss having a truck :/18:43
pauljwthey are handy18:44
* BluesKaj nods18:45
Bashing-omPats my old '82 Toyota .. most a million miles on it and still reliable .18:47
pauljwmy ranger came with a topper and i was originally gonna take it off and sell it but didn't and now i'm glad i kept it.  i've yet to need to haul anything that wouldn't fit and i don't have to worry about anything falling out of it on my way to the dump/recycling center.18:48
pauljwBashing-om, that's remarkable18:48
Bashing-omJust keep the oil and filters changed, run good gas in it .. good to go .18:49
pauljw:)18:49

EriC^^my car's dead20:46
lotuspsychjeouch, what you did?20:46
EriC^^the battery is dead20:46
lotuspsychjeawww20:46
EriC^^won't start, i think it died cause of the cold20:46
nicomachusbad cell. :/20:46
nicomachusgot a charger?20:46
nicomachusor jumper cables and a friendly neighbor?20:46
EriC^^nope no charger20:47
EriC^^or jumper cables20:47
nicomachusah. they are a solid investment.20:47
Bashing-omEriC^^: Battery died on my pickup too . Will get it replaced tomorrow :)20:47
EriC^^i'm going to try something tomorrow20:47
EriC^^crushed aspirin is supposed to give it enough oomph for another crank20:48
EriC^^never tried it before, but what the heck20:48
EriC^^i'll put some crushed aspirin and try to crank it, if it starts i'll drive to the nearest shop and get another battery20:48
Bashing-omEriC^^: Never heard of that one . If it works, a good thing to know .20:49
nicomachushave them check the battery first! it may just be cold and not need replacing20:49
EriC^^yeah, it supposedly can let a battery crank but it shortens the life of the battery, it's like in case you're stranded somewhere it's good to keep some aspirin for that20:49
EriC^^nicomachus: it's like 3-4 years old, been meaning to replace it but it was still working fine and i was lazy20:50
Bashing-omEriC^^: nicomachus ^^ +1 . If it is cold, oil is thick and the engine is HARD to turn over .20:50
EriC^^nah, i have a turbo timer in it and it shows the battery voltage20:51
EriC^^it was like 8-9v20:51
EriC^^it's pretty flat lined20:51
EriC^^:|20:51
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: we payed like 180 euro for new batter last time for nissan almera : |20:54
EriC^^damn, that's expensive20:54
lotuspsychjeyeah20:54
EriC^^it's like $70 for 62amps batteries here20:54
nicomachusEriC^^: you're in the US, right?20:55
