NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[sadclownwp]

I work some with Fire safety education - the guidance is once the smoke alarm is triggered (if they had them) you have 2 minutes to get out. YMMV

I was a firefighter for a fair few years, and yeah, 2 minutes. If you can't clear a house of children in 2 minutes... Which tells me that they didn't have fire alarms or that they didn't make sure they were working. And the only thing worse than children is neglectful parents.

Got a new to me truck 2018 4x4 ford 150 only 30k miles though pretty happy about it. Has the 3.3 and 6 speed which I hear is one of the best combos maybe you mechanics can tell me I’m wrong lol and it sucks.

All it took was one trip in my wife’s little car with all our hunting and shooting gear….. her riding home with turkeys in the rear view in garbage bags was enough for her lol

Nice, congrats!! Only issues I see on the ecoboosts are failed turbos and failed timing chains, both are major $$$ repairs but can typically be avoided by changing your oil on a regular basis and never ever use anything besides synthetic!! Turbos build a LOT of heat and conventional oil can’t handle it, these (and most) engines require synthetic oil but people are cheap and use conventional oil destroying their engines.

Hoping to pick up my new to me truck here in about an hour. Pics soon

I'll take those Meijer points. Saved me almost $25 on gas today

I used my Casey's points the other day to get gas for $2/gal. It was almost like filling it up when it was brand new(and the sad part is, the truck is only ~3 years old)

Yep, and I don't know why the wind has always bothered me, even sitting inside the house.

I saw on TV, a man stating that his little girl died, and he blamed the landlord not changing the smoke detector batteries.
Okay. The landlord is responsible for maintenance. I can understand that.
But.. you couldn't spend the money on a 9v battery? Really?
I don't know how I'd live with myself, knowing I could have saved my girl for the cost of a 9v battery.
