chris88 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have an 86 Blazer, got a little 305 in her now but i want to put a 4 cylendar cummins in it. 4 speed trans, 4 inches of lift, headers and side pipes. She runs pretty good but i would still like to do that swap. I think i'd like to put a pto on it and run an air compressor of the pto. That would be pretty cool to do alsoI also ride dirtbikes, and im an aspiring mechanic so i have a lot of tools to buy.

other dog Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 This PC has been draining my wallet lately-I didn't have a local dial up no.here and my unlimited long distance plan was not supposed to be used for business purposes or internet connection,but of course I was doing it-didn't know I wasn't supposed to until EMBARQ said they were going to cut off my long distance.I called them to get a new plan,so I could still get online,and the best they could do was 10 cents A minute for internet use.When I saw A Hughesnet commercial on TV I called them and told them to come on over.It cost $399.99 up front,then $59.99 A month.Pretty expensive,but way cheaper than the 10 cents A minute the phone co.was charging me.When the man came to install it he said my PC was so old and slow,and the something or other was too small,that I really needed A new one to see any benefit from the Hughes system.I'd been wanting A new one anyway,so I went and got A new Compac with Windows Vista Home Premium.I don't have A clue what that actually means,but it sounds more impressive than my old Windows 98. $698.00,plus tax. Then I call the Hughes guy back,and then he told me my payment covered 25' of trench to bury the cable,anything over 25' would be $2.00 and something A foot.So I asked him where he wanted the trench,and dug it myself to save A few bucks.The pole they put the dish on was $125-I thought maybe it was gold,but it looks like a piece of galvanized steel tubing-and it cost $75 more dollars for them to go in the crawl space to run the cable.But it's all up and running now,and works great! Got my phone bill yesterday-$275! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Freightrain Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 my hobbies that drain my wallet is hunting & fishing mostly but also include my other hobby which is C.B. 's I have 3 a Connex330H.P Rebel face w/ noise toys , color changing L.E.D. Light & bigger boards & restistors & set up for fire in the wire & a texas star 660 A 25 Cobra w/ weatherband w/ connex bords & resistors no fire in wire A 29 Cobra w/ Connex Boards , resistors & set up for fire in the wire w/ a 350 Silver eaglelater yall I used to be into CB's. Friend growing up had a nice Cobra 139 wired up with VFO, turner side kick mic, Varmint 850 linear, Moonraker 4 beams. We used to talk everywhere on that thing all night long. I still have my 70's Realistic Navaho base(slightly warmed up) which just died a couple weeks ago. Too expensive to fix so I need to find something new for the house. Got a couple Unidens in other vehicles that are warmed over(20-40 watts). Picked up an old Realistic "phone" style CB for the B model. It's warmed over too(running about 45 watts), and with the headset I figure I might be able to actually HEAR what someone is saying (plus back in the day I though they were cool cause only rich people had car phones-back in the late 70's).
