No Help at Auto Zone
I had the wheels off the small trailer getting new tires mounted so I thought it would be a great time to pack the wheel bearings. I went to our local Auto Zone and the girl behind the counter asked if she could help me. I said I was sure she could. Of course that was before the following took place.
Me, handing her an axle seal, "I need two of these for a trailer."
Her, "What is it?"
Me, "An axle seal from an International Trail."
Her, "What year?"
Me, "Good question, I guess it's about a 2001."
Her, "I'm probably going to need the exact year. The computer doesn't show anything on it."
Me, (knowing I'm in trouble now, "Okay, thanks for your help."
Here is where the young store manager steps in.
Him, "There should be a part number on it we can cross reference."
Me, "I thought so too, but I wire brushed it good and can't see anything".
Him, "It looks like there might be something on it."
He grabbed a magnifying glass and squinted real, real hard, almost like I do but I'm 35 years older and need eye surgery.
He types in a number. No match found. He looks again and changes one digit. No match found. He looks another time and changes another digit. He did this a couple more times with the same result. He hands the seal back to me and says, "Sorry, I can't help you."
Okay, so I go two blocks down the road to our local KOI Auto Parts.
I walk to the counter and the guy looks at me and says, "Trailer Axle seal. How many do you need"?
I said, "Two".
He goes in back and comes out with two. I paid him and left.
I made a mental note that, next time I need parts, don't stop anywhere between home and KOI. It just takes longer to get the job done.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
Never heard of K O I auto parts. Are they a chain or a local store ?
It's good to have a place that knows what they are selling.

It's amazing the level of incompetence you come across at parts stores nowadays. But I guess that's what you get when you just hire someone to fill a slot

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
The online places are just as bad, but there is 'no one' to feel sorry for and they sure don't have 'IH' in the list of vehicles.
I did get a set of Timken 1" trailer bearings at AutoZone for about $20 for my fast hitch C-2... only trouble is, had to buy two sets to get the second seal I needed. Trailers only have one seal (the other side is the cap).
BTW Koi is what my neighbors, the Ospreys, steal from my other neighbor's pond.... I guess it's not stealing if you are a bird. The nature writer for the local paper said the Osprey was eating a 'red snapper', I borrowed his binoc's and knew right away it was a several hundred dollar goldfish. The property is an entire city block, so I suppose the neighbor is not poor.

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
KOI Auto Parts originally started as Nelter Oil Company, a gas and service station, by the Neltner family, father William and sons Tony and Wilfred. In 1953 they purchased a local auto parts retailer named Kentucky Motor Service. They continued to grow, acquiring additional local auto parts retailers Wilcox Auto Parts & Savage Auto Parts, eventually changing the name of the company to KOI Auto Parts incorporating the three predominant states it did business in, K-Kentucky, O-Ohio, I-Indiana.
Re: No Help at Auto Zone
I have been dealing with KOI for many years .
I remember the when they changed their name to Kentucky Motors .
My Son Edward (Camo) worked for them for a couple years driving delivering parts .He is now a mechanic at sears auto center in florence .
They are the one place in our area that you can walk up to the counter and get most any seal or gasket for a cub or anything for that mater.
As a mater of fact i was at Woodson ridge cubfest in miss. at Russ Leggits a few years ago and needed some cub tune up parts and stopped at an O'reileys and told the kid i needed a couple sets of points for a cub ..... He came back to the counter with a set of points for a small block gm with the allen set screw in the side ///// and said that all points were the same they will fit.......
I said HOLD ON Called my local KOI at home in KY and got the part numbers and he had all the parts cap rotor points cond. i got 2 sets and gave them as door prizes......
So Yeahhhh Barnyard save yourself some Greif and Go To KOI............

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
KOI also does a lot of "behind the sceens" work with the major dealers in this area. When I bought my new '06 F-150 it didn't have remote start that I wanted so I "added" it on at the time. I thought I was getting a "dealer" installed system. KOI actually did the install with their supplied "Ford" parts (including Ford fobs). I had an issue with it and a KOI tech person had to go to the dealer to resolve but it had to be coordinated with when he would be at that dealer. In talking with them they gave me the tech's phone number, he ended up meeting me at their big distribution warehouse downtown Cincinnati, a couple miles from my work, on my way home. Fixed it there and I was on my way!
Re: No Help at Auto Zone
About a month ago I went to Auto Zone for the last time. Started out bad because I needed help but the 3 workers were too busy laughing and having fun in the back room. I went out there and asked "Do you know where the Bondo is?' and I am sure the girl with the snooty attitude had no clue what Bondo is. Then after waiting at the register for a few minutes, I had to open the door and ask the cashier if he could cash me out. It was a big problem because he hadn't finished his cigarette. Then, all the stuff I had on the counter, well he told me I had to move it to his register, (how was I supposed to know?) Then, in the middle of bagging my stuff, he stops bagging and gets into a conversation with his co-worker about how awful his job is, recent cutbacks in store staffing, etc.
Around here the best is non-franchised "Ray's" in New Bedford, they are outstanding.

Re: No Help at Auto Zone
Ed: I'd like three glazed donuts and two cream filled danish rolls please!
Woman behind counter: I'm sorry sir, but I can't sell those to you.
Ed: Why? Is it because I don't look like I should be eating pastry?
Woman behind counter: No sir, that is not the reason.
Ed: Okay then, is it because this is John Deere country and I like Farmall?
Woman behind counter: Oh, no sir, not at all!
Ed: Then tell me! Why won't you sell me the pastries I asked for?
Woman behind counter: Well sir, it's because this is an auto parts store!

Vineyard Notes
The 2012 vintage was one of those rare years where both quality and yield were exceptional, probably the best overall since 2005. The growing season was ideal with slightly below average rainfall, moderate canopy growth and very little mildew or botrytis. Due to excellent spring weather, fruit set was ideal. Yields were about 20% above average and the resulting wines are elegant and balanced.

Multiple kill boxes of various capacities allow more flexibility. There's no need to ice down a 100-gallon box when your catch is a dozen yellowtails. When you do stick that trophy wahoo, though, you'll want to chill it immediately. The largest boxes should have a capacity of 150 gallons and be at least 51/2 feet long. Thick insulation is a must, and removable dividers are handy too. Ideally, all fish boxes should drain overboard or at least be macerated to minimize the mess and clogging. Placement is a matter of personal preference, Davis says. Transom boxes are more accessible, but it's often easier to drop a hot dolphin into a deck box. Don't forget cleanup chores when deciding on box location — or weight and balance issues either.
A fishing boat can never have enough storage, and the ideal cockpit shouldn't skimp either. Davis strives for easy access to routine items like crimpers, scissors, terminal tackle and leaders. Side cabinets are handy receptacles for gaffs and tag sticks. The end of the mezzanine, where these items are out of the way yet accessible, is a user-friendly option.
A built-in tackle center with a dedicated bait-preparation area, including a sink, is especially useful. It should be strategically located, with close access to both saltwater and freshwater washdowns. Hose-coil trays keep things orderly. To maximize organization, the center should have multiple-size drawers and racks for tackle trays. Don't forget to include slide stops to prevent spills.
Rod-storage and -holder placement also deserve thoughtful consideration. Torres recommends lockable cabinets where extra rods can be stowed during fishing or safely secured at night. When sailfishing, Fields runs the trolling rods from the rocket launcher, and keeps spares rigged for schooling fish. Portable tubes with suction cups hold pitch baits. He keeps the bent-butt dredge rod in a straight holder next to the pilothouse so that it remains reachable yet out of the way.
Odds and Ends
If your float plan routinely includes kite-fishing or deep-dropping, Torres recommends adding plenty of electrical outlets to the cockpit. A built-in drink cooler that's handy yet unobtrusive is always appreciated. So is flush-mounted hardware to avoid snags and trip hazards. He believes in an aggressive nonskid deck finish to provide sure traction in wet conditions.
Davis and Fields are both big fans of teak for the cockpit deck and covering boards. Besides adding a classy finish, teak offers sure footing without too much added maintenance, Davis says. Teak is also softer than fiberglass and cuts down on glare, and those two traits give the crew an advantage in spotting fish quicker and staying fresh.
Finally, make sure your cockpit has a big enough transom door. Davis says bigger is always better if there's room, but the width shouldn't be less than 32 inches.
Like beauty, the perfect cockpit is in the eye of the beholder. Before you start laying out yours, make a checklist of features that best suit your fishing style. Keep simplicity and accessibility at the top of the list. You can't take your money with you, so you might as well splurge while you can.

This forum has some of the most kindhearted people that I have ever "met". So many of you are always willing to help someone in need. It is for that reason that I felt I had to post this.
Recently there was someone who posted about challenges they were facing. They also told of a proud and honorable past and many of you offered your support and respect. Someone was so kind that they gave this individual a very expensive knife to help them.
The reason for my post now is that I am holding absolute proof in my hand that the OP's story was untrue (he has also been removed from our forum).
Even now as I type this I am hesitant to click "submit" because I don't want to see the kind hearts here on this forum stop believing. It is those kind hearts that make this place special.
However part of my "job" here is to look out for each of you and insure that this place stays the unique, family friendly place it has always been. I truly hate the thought that someone took advantage of our members.
So, with all of that in mind, this is a friendly reminder that there are some people who once sheltered behind a screen and keyboard will say whatever they feel they need to just to get something (adoration, respect, honor or material items) for nothing.
Be safe.

Associated Press
Publication: theday.com
WOLCOTT, Conn. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut says Wolcott school officials have reversed themselves and are allowing a student to wear a T-shirt with an anti-gay message.
The ACLU announced Tuesday that the lawyer for the school district says high school student Seth Groody may wear the T-shirt, which bears a slash mark through a rainbow.
The ACLU says he wore the shirt last April 20, which was designated as a day of awareness of harassment toward gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. He removed the shirt when ordered by school officials.
The ACLU says it was prepared to sue the school district.
Without elaborating, school attorney Christine Chinni wrote to the ACLU saying that Groody may wear the T-shirt.
Chinni did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

"I don't like it here," says Jhaniyika Morman, 6, who covers her eyes, smudging her blue eye shadow and pointing toward the jail's visitation booths, where inmates are separated from their visitors by thick glass.
"I'm nervous. I hope he recognizes me," mumbles Alexis Atkins, 9, who has her blond hair curled into long ringlets and keeps zipping and unzipping her hot-pink purse.
Down the hall, through several gates and inside a communal cell with thick blue bars, 12 inmates change from their frayed one-piece jumpsuits into formal attire. They pass belts and shirts of various sizes back and forth between the tight rows of steel bunk beds.
"Anyone know how to do up this here tie?" asks a jittery looking Andre Morman, 42, who has been in and out of jail on drug charges numerous times.
Then the inmates line up, too. They walk down a long hallway and wait in silence to get a glimpse of the girls: their daughters.
For a few hours on this Saturday afternoon, the incarcerated fathers will be allowed to take part in an American tradition, the father-daughter dance. "A Dance of Their Own," thought to be the only event of its kind in the country, will be in the jail's small, windowless multipurpose room.
A Tradition Rooted In Stereotypes?
The event in Richmond is just one example of the alternative father-daughter dances springing up around the country amid growing concerns that traditional father-daughter dances are exclusionary. Their detractors say they are outdated, discriminatory and sexist and that they no longer reflect what American families look like. For starters, according to 2011 census data, more than half of all children in this country are raised by unmarried mothers.
"The whole idea feels very 1950s," says Peggy Drexel, author of "Our Fathers, Ourselves: Daughters, Fathers and the Changing American Family." "I mean, do you invite your sperm-donor dad? Today's America has the daughters of donors, lesbians, two gay dads. . . ."
In October, school officials in Cranston, R.I., banned the dances — along with mother-son baseball games — after the American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint citing discrimination against single mothers, as well as gender stereotyping. "It's 'Ozzie and Harriet' stuff — it shouldn't be happening in this century," says Steven Brown of the Rhode Island ACLU. "Not every girl wants to grow up to be Cinderella; some might actually more enjoy playing baseball. But these types of stereotyped events promote an opposite impression."
One indication that times are changing: The Girl Scouts of America have given some of the events new names, such as "SAM" — significant adult male — dances or "Someone Special and Me" dances. There are also new events replacing the dances, such as the "Daddy-Daughter Boot Camp" for Girl Scouts on Fort Belvoir.
"What's really new here is that people whose family forms were shoved under the rug, including those in jail, are increasingly saying we have a right to the same respect that everyone gets," says Stephanie Coontz, author of "The Way We Really Are: Coming to Terms With America's Changing Families."
Helping Families Reunite
The dance at the Richmond jail is less improbable than it sounds: Historically, the father-daughter dances have been used to help American families reunite. They became widespread in the United States after World War II as a way to reintegrate men into family life. It's too early to know whether this dance will have a lasting impact, but Richmond City Sheriff C.T. Woody says it's a start.
"People may think it's crazy to have this in a jail," says Woody, 67, a veteran homicide detective. "But it builds respect. You wouldn't believe what it does for these men's confidence to dress them up. So this dance can have a ripple effect."
The idea was born when a girl said she felt left out because her father was locked up, says Angela Patton, head of Camp Diva, a Richmond nonprofit that works to empower African American girls.
"We thought, 'These girls need their fathers, too,' " says Patton, who hopes to replicate the dance in the Washington area. "But we also thought, 'Let's not just throw the girls and the dads together in the jail. Let's prepare everyone. This is not just some dance that's about punch and cookies.' "
It's the day before the dance, and a group of inmates in the G-2 cellblock — some of whom are attending — sit on plastic chairs for a fatherhood class. The class is part of a program for inmates who want to change negative social behaviors and recover from substance abuse. As they gather, guards with guns and walkie-talkies circulate through the halls.
"Waking up in this bleak place is depressing as hell. But it's only temporary. Remind yourself, you are just passing through," one poster reads. Also on the walls are the Serenity Prayer, Martin Luther King Jr.'s, "I have a dream" speech and warnings against excessive cursing and use of "the N-word."
Only some of the inmates will be allowed to attend the dance. It's open only to nonviolent offenders; interested fathers are interviewed by a jail deputy and have their criminal histories reviewed. They must also get permission from the child's mother.
Fatherhood Class
When the class begins, the men fall silent.
"How many of you are fathers?" asks Brian Gullins, a coordinator with the Richmond Family and Fatherhood Initiative.
Nearly every hand goes up in the room.
"What are your top three emotions about your own father?," he asks.
A man stands up and says his name is Tony.
"Hey, Tony," the men say in thunderous unison.
"My emotion for my father is anger. He committed infidelity and left us behind. That's when me and my brother got into the streets, took up drugs. My brother got killed. I am here. Thanks for letting me share."
"Thanks for your share, Tony," they boom again in one voice.
Some of the other men stand up to speak.
"My dad was chaotic."
"My dad was an alcoholic."
"My dad beat on my mother."
And after a few more, Gullins poses another question:
"If we asked your child to talk about you, what would that say?" Gullins asks. Some of the men stare at the ground, others shake their heads and sigh.
"If it's painful, then own it, brothers," Gullins tells them.
Joey Atkins is a husky man with blond hair and tattooed arms who has been in and out of jail for drug dealing and weapons-related violations.
He's been trying to repair his life, he says, for his daughter Alexis. He's even taking a Virginia Commonwealth University English class that meets inside the jail and is studying poetry.
So he listens intensely when he hears a prose-poem delivered to the class by Richmond activist and hip-hop artist Joe'i Chancellor. Her father went to jail when she was 9. He didn't come home until she was 21, she tells them.
"Father Father Father where have you been?/ Jail, dead, on drugs, or the street life is that where you went? / Did your choices lead you to leave me?"
Her hoarse voice rises, like a preaching poet's. Then she screams and weeps some of the final lines:
"I know after hearing my poem you feel messed up and you should / But I understand now you were misunderstood/ You too was misled you was raised by the hood / Was a fatherless child because your father was no good."
Watching as some of the inmates choke back tears, Sheriff Woody rushes to the front of the room.
"Let it go through you, brothers," Woody says. "Let yourself just feel it."

It's the morning of the dance, so Jhaniyika's mother is getting her ready at home, as her five siblings — four boys and one sister — watch enviously.
Her mother helps her put on her white tights and silver Mary Janes along with a necklace of plastic dress-up pearls.
"I'm gonna see Daddy. I'm gonna hug Daddy," she says, twirling around the living room.
Her sister Avianiea, just a year older, is quiet.
She stares at SpongeBob on TV. She starts to cry.
"They said we could only bring one daughter," says her mother Jennifer Morman, who chose Jhaniyika because she cries the most for her father whenever they visit.
"She really hates talking to him through that glass," says Jennifer, who wears her husband's wedding ring around her neck since inmates are not allowed to wear jewelry.
Does she think the dance will help?
"I think it will stay with him," Jennifer says.
'Gotta Break This Cycle'
He's been behind bars for the past nine months, this time for failing to pay child support for a 15-year-old daughter from another relationship. He gets out in 88 days. He has nine children total and says he just doesn't have the money.
Back at the jail, he's trying to find a belt that will fit. He's lost 40 pounds since getting locked up.
"I just gotta break this cycle I'm in. I'm just tired of it," Andre Morman says, adding that he can't wait to see his youngest daughter. "I haven't been able to pick her up in nine months."
At around 1:30 p.m. the girls are taken down a long hallway to meet their fathers. But instead of waiting they all rush to one another. This time, the fathers don't bother choking back tears. They just let themselves cry.
"Is jail over yet, Daddy?" calls out Jhaniyika, who runs into her father's arms.
He can't answer yes. So he just hugs her tightly.
"Introducing, Joey Atkins and his daughter Alexis," the event's master of ceremonies booms as the pair walks a red — paper — carpet.
They have their photos taken in the multipurpose room, which has been decorated with purple paper tablecloths and balloons. The event begins with a journaling exercise where the fathers and daughters write notes to each other.
"I am having fun. It's gonna be hard to leave," Alexis writes.
There's a chicken dinner and a sugary cake. Celebrity guest Chad Coleman, a Richmond native who grew up in the foster care system and later became famous for playing reformed ex-convict Cutty in "The Wire," comes forward to praise the event.
Everyone is on their best behavior. The fathers pull out their daughters' chairs and rise when their daughters come back to their seats after being away, manners they learned in their fathering class. Some huddle and share family and school news. One daughter charms her dad into promising she can have a summer pass to Kings Dominion.
But then "The Wobble" comes on and that gets everyone moving and laughing — for a few minutes, the event turns into a silly, sloppy dance party. "Dad!" Alexis laughs, like any daughter embarrassed by seeing her father busting loose. And then she joins in, jumping forward, leaning to the right and waving her hands in the air.
But when it's time to leave, even the jail guards, some crying, say they feel the ache. The inmates and their daughters all get their photographs in paper frames to keep.
Joey and his daughter Alexis hug and cry for what seems like a very long time.
"It's gonna be OK," he whispers into her ear. "They can't hold me forever, Boo."
Andre hugs Jhaniyika, tells her to be good to her mother and her siblings for him. She keeps looking back as she leaves, a tiny figure stumbling in her shiny Mary Janes.
Outside the room, she spots him through the glass and starts pounding on it, yelling over and over, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"

General Managers aren't acting irrationally by signing goalies to longer contracts. They're responding to changes in goaltender performances over the past few years.
Can the Lightning's new goalie Ben Bishop succeed where so many others have failed? What can Lightning fans realistically expect?
Cold in Tampa? Try Buffalo on for size. That's what the BOlts are doing tonight as they square off against the Northeast leading Sabres at HSBC Center in Buffalo.
"When you're facing (Ryan) Miller, (Martin) Brodeur, these type of guys, if you think you're going to go through a game and get that one shot and score a goal, you might as well not even go on the ice. You've got to go on mentally where you're going to throw the puck on net, go to the net, wraparounds, quick shots. Don't take a big slap shot. "These guys thrive on teams that try to pick spots. The best goalie in the world will tell you, the quicker the shot, the more garbage around the net, the harder for them to play; people in front of their faces. When you think you're going to go down the wing all night and and take that one big slap shot and go top shelf on these guys, you'll be waiting all night with that. You've got to go out there and throw everything at them, whether it's a wrist shot, slap shot, a quick shot, wrap shot, everything has to go out there with a flurry of people in front of them. That's the only way you can consistently beat these guys."Head Coach Rick Tocchet -- remarking Monday on facing elite goaltenders.

Tesla bricked battery story may have a short circuit
by Jeff Sabatini (RSS feed) on Feb 23rd, 2012 at 5:28PM
Yesterday's outrageous attack on electric vehicles didn't come from the GOP (for a change), but from a seemingly disinterested blogger, one Michael Degusta. His charges against Tesla include suggesting that its cars will have "eventual, inevitable, catastrophic battery failure," lambasting the company for poor warranty service, accusing Tesla of tracking its owners without consent, and intimating that the company is not only failing to provide owners with proper notice of this phenomenon but also covering up the whole sordid affair. Serious stuff, this post of his that's rippled through the... Read More

WASHINGTON — Many Americans just received their first paycheck of 2013. That sound you hear is the collective "What the . . ." they have emitted upon looking at their pay stub.
For all the self-congratulatory back-patting from the White House and Congress on the deal that averted the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases — the deal locked in the George W. Bush-era tax cuts for households making under $450,000 — they tended not to mention what the deal did, or rather didn't do, on the payroll tax. A 2 percentage point reduction in the Social Security tax, which hits all American workers, had been enacted at the end of 2010. In the fiscal cliff deal, Congress and President Barack Obama neither extended it further nor agreed on any other policies that might have the similar effect of leaving more money in workers' pockets.
The numbers, for anybody who hasn't checked their paycheck yet (or won't get paid in 2013 until later in the month): For someone who makes the U.S. average for private sector workers of $818.69 a week and is paid every other week, that adds up to a reduction of $32.75 in each paycheck. For higher earners, anyone making over $113,700 annually, each bi-weekly paycheck will decline by $87.46.
The increase in payroll taxes has now gone from being an abstraction in Washington policy debates that politicians prefer not to talk about to being something very real.
The big question for the economy as 2013 gets underway is how America will react to their smaller paychecks. It is uncharted waters in many way: For most of the last two decades, taxes have been steadily falling. There is not much evidence for just how much Americans will pare back in response to tighter times and a higher tax burden.
One place to look for evidence is what happened when the payroll tax cut was implemented at the start of 2011. In the first six months of the year, personal consumption spending rose 2.2 percent, though that coincided with a spike in fuel prices tied to unrest in the Middle East, so when adjusted for inflation consumption spending rose only 0.6 percent. (In a way, it turned out to be lucky timing; in effect, the payroll tax break offset the economic drag that came from what turned out to be a temporary bump in oil prices.)

Narrow your search
Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg covers high-end audio news and reviews.
CNET's favorite speakers, including sound bars, Bluetooth speakers, and full surround sound systems.
If you can't afford Bose's noise-canceling models, the Bose AE2s--and their improved design and sound quality--make for a good alternative at half the price.
While we've heard earphones that sound better for the money, Bose has improved its in-ear headphones so they fit--and sound better--than its previous in-ear model.
If you're looking for a good value in Bose headphones, the company's OE (On-Ear) models makes a strong case--even if they're not cheap.
The Bose SoundTouch Controller is a $99 wall-mountable remote for Bose's wireless audio systems -- but it can control only one unit at a time.
Pricing not available
The Bose SoundTouch 20 is a likeable streaming speaker with capable performance and great sound, but it needs to support more music services.
Despite some downsides, including a high price, the Bose QuietComfort 20 offers the best noise-canceling in an in-ear headphone and should tempt frequent travelers looking for a more compact alternative to a full-size NC headphone, such as the Bose QuietComfort 15.
While it's fairly expensive at $200, the Bose SoundLink Mini is one of few standout products in the ultracompact wireless speaker category, featuring a top-notch design and very good sound for its tiny size.
While they're no bargain, the Bose SEI2 and SEI2i have an appealing, sweat-resistant design, are very comfortable to wear, and offer decent sound.
You can debate the price, but the Bose OE2s are very comfortable everyday-use headphones with a compact frame and balanced, detailed sound.
The Bose Bluetooth Headset might be a stylish headset with a recognizable brand, but its lack of features and average performance do not fit its high price tag.

Red 282 Hydro
I took a load to the scrap yard today, and draged off to the side of the pile was a red 282 Hydro. Never saw one before. Is this something worth rescuing. How much should I offer for it? It has one bent front wheel and a hole busted threw the dash, but otherwise looks good. BTW long time lurker that enjoys the site vary much. Hi to all.
Re: Red 282 Hydro
The 282 is a Cadet Lawn Tractor with a B&S engine, it is not the same as a Cub Cadet Garden tractor. They were built to compete with the riding lawn mower's of the time. They are not as collectable as the Cub Cadet's, but that is not to say that some people do not have an interest in them. I wouldn't offer much for a non runner.
Re: Red 282 Hydro
Who made them?
Re: Red 282 Hydro
IH built them in 1980-81. The same basic tractor began with the Cadet 76 in 1972, and progressed with the Spirit of 76 in 1975-76,, the Cadet 80 in 1977-79, Cadet 81 in1977-79, and the 182, 282, 382, 382 Special in 1980-81. Cub Cadet Corp built them from 1982-84 (both red ones and yellow and white ones) with serial number range from 70,000 to 100,000, depending on the year. About the only difference from the Cadet 76 through the CCC built 382Hydro was the color, the transmission, and engine hp. Other than that, they all looked the same.
Re: Red 282 Hydro
Thanks for the info.
Re: Red 282 Hydro
I would grab the red 282 because the red one's were few in number.
IHC made a quality machine and was leader of the pack.Let's keep them running,
Re: Red 282 Hydro
ccc built cubs are red in 1982 by 84 most were yellow and white.
the easy way to tell if its cc built is look at the trans axle. if its not cast its ccc / mtd
1981 582
1967 cc 125 same as above
1984 ccc 882 aluminum trans

Re: Red 282 Hydro
I saw a red 282 Hydro on craigslist last night. IIRC they wanted 250 for it, looked like it didn't run.
I would like to have a nice 782 "one of these days" but there shall be no yellow and white to clash with my RED!
CORRECTION: I Went back and looked, and it's a 382 Hydro. Other than being a hydro, it pretty much looks like the cheap lawn mowers they sell at Wal-Mart. But, at least it's red!
White Demo Super A Restoration Updates
Let us pray for farmers and all who prepare the soil for planting, that the seeds they sow may lead to a bountiful harvest.
Re: Red 282 Hydro
My 882 will turn red over the winter.

Nomad Mid Handle Net
Product Description
The Nomad Mid-Handle net was an obvious choice for our next model. This net is perfect for people who carry their net behind a pack. It tucks down and stays put while still having extra reach. The intermediate size is also great for fishing out of float tubes and small boats. Like other Nomad nets the Mid-length is a composite mixture designed to be lightweight and durable. Nomad nets are the premier composite net on the market. These nets are made out of a mixture of carbon fiber and fiber glass. The result is a very lightweight durable net. No more breakage when walking through willows, stepping into the boat, or netting fish covered in weeds. Nomad nets are built for the conditions that prevail where great fishing exists; they are waterproof, UV protected, and float like a cork. Nomad nets come standard with a rubber bag.

Student-athletes are challenged and encouraged to give back to communities and individuals who are in need. Through community service initiatives planned by teams, the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, and the University Office of Student Activities, our student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop the foundation for a lifelong commitment of service and volunteerism.
The Tigers were very active in the community in 2012-13. Tiger student-athletes, coaches, and administrators completed more than 10,000 hours of community service throughout Towson, Baltimore and the surrounding area just that academic year. This accomplishment is second to none in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and places Tiger Athletics near the top nationally for community service. In fact, the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll recognized the university for its service efforts this school year.
Visiting hospitals and schools, blood drives, assisting with the Senior and Special Olympic Programs, participating in charity runs such as the Susan G. Komen "The Race for the Cure", collecting personal care items and clothing for the needy, book, t-shirt and stuffed animal drives, stream clean-ups, assisting with Move-in Days, and sport skills clinics are just a few examples of community outreach activities sponsored by our teams in the past. Involvement in these programs by teams in individuals not only benefits the community, but also serves to develop team bonding, leadership skills, positive relationships between the University and the community, and the wonderful feeling of having made a difference.
One event our student-athletes and coaches participate in annually is the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) "Have a Heart" Blood Challenge. The CAA Blood Challenge was developed in 2002 by the CAA presidents as a fun way to emphasize the critical importance of donating blood. Each institution promotes the event on its own campus and encourages student groups, faculty, staff and alumni to participate and support their school. The fall is a critical time to get a blood supply to blood banks, as the need seems to be the greatest around the holiday season. Over 200 TU student-athletes either donate blood or work the Blood Drive each year.
Some of our featured partnerships in the community this year are:
- Big Brothers/Big Sisters
- BEST Organization
- CoolKids Campaign
- GORUCK Leadership Training
- Kennedy Krieger Foundation
- Susan G. Komen Foundation
- Living Classrooms Foundation
- Wounded Warriors Project
- Special Olympics of Maryland
- Towson Recreation Council
- Baltimore City Public Schools

Wildlife experts are warning people to take precautions after numerous bear sightings in the metro Atlanta area. There is growing concern that people and their smartphones are risking injury by getting too close to the animals.SKYFOX 5 showed curious people get close to a mother and her cubs that were wandering near a Forsyth County neighborhood."Nobody should ever approach a bear, whether it's up a tree or cornered in their yard or on their porch of their house," said Scott Frazier of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. DNR officials said that they are seeing more black bears than ever, which leads them to believe that the population in the state is increasing substantially. Officials said they are also seeing bears with more than two cubs, which is a new, unexplained development. Residents should not put trash cans close to doors or on their decks. That could attract bears.Experts also warn that bears are very quick, so don't get close."Bears generally tell you when you are too close. They do things like snapping their teeth together -- we call it popping their jaws," Frazier said. "In some cases when they are feeling extremely threatened, particularly sows [female bears], they will rear up and slap the ground."
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

Really it's the ginger bear that captured their imagination.
Anne got to interview the window's designer - Jean-Claude Dehix
Why is the hero Ginger?
And if this bear is not an homage...
To MJ (note black hat, wearing red, and dark glasses)
Well I'll eat my Trilby hat...
Oh why didn't I buy one of these in Paris?
This is not Galeries Lafayette but Printemps in all their Xmas glory. Enjoy

CNHI News Service
— The Sonata Hybrid has been on the move this year with improved fuel economy and design tweaks, but is it enough in the crowded segment to make a difference?
Hyundai hopes so, and has invested in a more powerful and lighter lithium polymer battery that boosts output by nearly 40 percent while taking up less trunk space.
The Korean company says polymer was chosen because its lifespan exceeds the industry 10 year/100,000 norm and, as such, offers an exclusive lifetime battery warranty.
Like other gasoline-powered sedans that have added a hybrid, the Sonata has been a success in its sixth generation in the U.S. after its debut overseas in 1985. It takes aim at the more efficient Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry hybrids.
Along with its 270-volt battery, the Sonata is equipped with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Atkinson cycle hybrid engine that together produce up to 199 horsepower to propel its six-speed automatic transmission.
The interior is roomy, nearly upscale and is available in a well-equipped trim level with lots of standard features you would likely pay extra for, including push-button start, Bluetooth technology, dual zone climate control and satellite radio.
Sonata hybrids are available as a Base model for around $25,000 and Limited for $30,000. The test car I drove for a week was the latter model, additionally equipped with a $1,000 panoramic sunroof that opens to the heavens for all five passenger seats.
For the extra dollars, the Limited adds leather seats, larger wheels, navigation, 7-inch touch screen, rearview camera and an upgraded Infinity audio package with nine speakers.
Seating is comfortable but could use some extra bolster support for front seats and seatbacks where padding is a little thin. The dashboard layout is modern with just the right amount of graphic gauges and easy access buttons to keep tabs on what's going on inside the cabin and under the hood.
The Sonata hybrid is in its third year of production and engineers have been working on improving fuel efficiency measures each year. EPA tests show a combined 37 miles per gallon, with 36 and 40 miles per gallon in city and highway, respectively.
I found the Sonata does its best on the open road, cruising at legal speed along freeways. My pampered test kept the sedan at 65 miles per hour. Engine noise was minimal and, once up to speed, the car's EV dash light monitor, detecting full electric drive, lit up more frequently, making me feel even greener than the illumination.
To be fair, there were a few passing maneuvers but no aggressive pedal movement along gently rolling landscape. Following 100 miles, a fill up showed highway fuel economy at 34 mpg.
Around town, with frequent stop and go driving, the Sonata automatically switched drive mode from electric to gasoline while moving from stop lights and through traffic.
The resulting lag in power at acceleration left me waiting in center lanes instead of turning left into oncoming traffic from a distance. The power switching back and forth from electric to gas resulted in a not so good city rating of 26 miles per gallon, although other drivers might achieve better results.
Overall, the Sonata offers a good value for the money and leads the industry with a lengthy warranty to protect consumers long after the sale.

What happened to him wanting to play with his brother?
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
Hopefully this won't afffect DE Bennett's re-signing with the Bucs. That guy is a stud.
Too me, this is a guy that was drafted on potential, hyped up for potential, and is still being talked about because of his potential.....but he hasn't done much to earn all the attention. He may develop into a great tight end some day, but so far he has just been an under achiever. If the Bucs get him, that's fine, but honestly I'd rather draft one or even two tight ends from this draft class. It's a strong class for tight ends, and it is a position that has proven to be effective right away as rookies. If we could land Eifert in the 2nd round and then a guy like Escobar, Kelce, or McDonald in the 4th....I'd be much happier than if we just went out and paid Bennett.
Quote from: TampaBucks05 on February 08, 2013, 09:39:51 AMHopefully this won't afffect DE Bennett's re-signing with the Bucs. That guy is a stud.How is he a stud? He has had 14 sacks in fours years.

1. The Steelers are now undefeated in their division.
2. As is usually the case the Ravens are the only serious threat to the AFC North Division title.
3. I am beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as a team having an "injury culture". I mean it seems like EVERYONE on this team is injured.
4. The announcers love that the Steelers are best in the league on third down stat.
5. The level of suck this team displayed in the first half is troubling. I feel stupid saying that because .. you know ...
6. But at the same time it seems to me that the sheer magnitude of the suck requires mentioning. This team wasn't merely bad in the first half, they were annoyingly bad. I've seen herds of cats with better organization and effectiveness.
7. So what do we have with this years Steelers? A bad team.
No, YOU tell him he has the wrong ball.
8. Seriously, this team has displayed a remarkable downside and almost no upside. The second half was just as much the Bengals dropping passes as Ike Taylor all of a sudden being effective.
9. Theres a reason I started this week with the divisional record. But that is the ONLY positive I can see.
10. Who does this team have that is solid? Ben, Heath, Brown, Ryan Clark thats about it. Everyone else is either made of glass or as streaky as a Ray Stevens Greatest Hits album release party.
The gap between this guy and Weird Al was a barren wasteland of nothingness in the American music landscape.
11. This picture works on many levels.
Miss me yet?
12. Perspective: What is it with this team? Are they as bad as they seem to be trying to tell us? For heavens sake please do not let the Bengals talk to the Chargers anytime soon because if the Bengals catch a couple of those passes that were hitting them in the hands as they streaked through the Steelers secondary the Steelers might not have won this game. The weeks go by in 2012 and it seems like we learn nothing new about this group of players. That might mean that there is nothing more to learn.

Civic Centre resident?
9:46am Wednesday 13th June 2012 in Letters
I WAS rather intrigued to discover that the Cardiff-based musician elected to represent St Julians has moved from his home in Rhiwbina to take up residence at the Civic Centre. Is the Civic Centre now being used as temporary accommodation, a type of halfway-house, so that councillors can avail themselves of the very comfortable facilities?
I wasn't aware that the Civic Centre had bedrooms, although there is a very comfortable, if overcrowded members' room, with a kitchen off it and bathroom facilities adjacent. I wonder what the rent is on this very superior property?
Carmel Townsend, St Julians Road, Newport

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Viper Ultralight Birch Wood Youth Baseball Bat: VLLUL? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
How much would the 30" bat weigh?
The Viper Ultralight Birch Wood Bat (VLLUL Youth) has an approximate -8 to -10 length to weight ratio. It will weigh approximately 20-23 ounces.
Can you use this or the senior league model for middle school? I know that you have to use BBCOR wood.
Typically, middle school would require a Youth Big Barrel model, which would be the same as Senior League. This youth model may be legal depending on the league you are playing in. I would check with your coach or league commissioner to verify if this bat would be legal.
How will this compare to maple, ash, and bamboo bats?
Birch wood bats are in-between Ash and Maple when comparing weight, flexibility, and hardness. This wood is much harder than Ash; but it is still flexible and provides a forgiving feel. It has a nice, responsive barrel due to its hardness which is a characteristic shared with similar Maple models. The combination of hardness and flexibility allow Birch wood bats to have a lower breakage rate than other wood types. This Viper Ultralight Birch Wood Bat: VLLUL Youth is also one of the lightest Youth wood bat options available with its -8 to -10 length to weight ratio.

Pursuit recently introduced its new OS 345 express boat, a scaled-down version of the company's popular OS 375. The main difference between the 37- and 34-foot versions comes in terms of power options and room - the 375 has a triple-engine option, while the 345 comes rigged with only twin outboards, and the 345 obviously sports a slightly smaller cabin.
But that's about it in terms of what you give up by opting for the smaller boat, and in return you save a lot of money, so the choice is yours: You can go for gold with the triple-engine 375 or get 90 percent of the benefit in a less expensive package in the 345. It's a classic win-win situation.
We tested the 345 courtesy of Caribee Boat Sales (the Keys Pursuit dealer) in Islamorada, Florida. The 345 looks larger than 34 feet thanks to a large crowned bow deck, which is shaped that way to create ample room down below - where it counts. More on that later, but as we eased away from the dock for a sea trial, I checked out the cockpit, the business end of the boat.
The twin Yamaha F350s sit on a large integrated engine platform, separated from the cockpit by a transom bulkhead which has a gate to port, allowing access to the stern, where you'll find a shower with both hot and cold fresh water. A large fold-down seat disappears into the bulkhead when not needed for passenger seating. Inside the bulkhead, there's a handy storage area for the boat's batteries and switches, accessed by a large fiberglass hatch which raises on gas rams, making it a snap to get to a battery or throw a switch. The hatch seals with a rubber gasket and a locking stainless-steel latch to keep everything dry.
Two large in-deck fish boxes run fore and aft in the cockpit sole, outboard of a huge centerline lazarette, which contains the boat's pumps and through-hulls, all easily reached for service. The boat's Fischer-Panda generator sits down here too, protected by a canvas cover to ward off saltwater spray.
A large tackle center resides at the forward end of the cockpit, and it holds yet another folding passenger seat, this aft-facing one disappearing into a recess in the port side of the molded fiberglass unit. The port box also contains two pullout tackle drawers, and a Kenyon grill rests on top next to a freshwater sink. The starboard cockpit box holds a refrigerator-freezer box. You control the temperature by turning a knob, making it handy for storing drinks, frozen bait or anything in between.
