RNG, I got that email today, saying PayPal could be used to purchase items advertised on Facebook. I don’t need any help spending money.

I too have tinnitus, but do my best to ignore most of the time, kinda of a low level ringing. Sorry to hear your’s is more troublesome Drew.

Also been long time Paypal user, almost extensively on ebay, but have also used their invoicing. Only a couple of minor problems in past but all resolved.

Did get my backhoe dolly assembled. The 8 inch castor wheels really nice, 2 zerks in the fixed, 3 in the rotating. Solid tires. Work quite well. I bought these many years ago at a surplus place with just a hope that I’d have a future use.
Here is a shot of them


Dolly needs a modification or 2, but actually worked great. Very stable and I can roll the bh around.



Need to rethink my center support for bucket and frame. Initially it kept frame too high due to cross support to remove under tractor, bucket support too short. Not going to fix until frame is modded for my LS.

David, that’s great looking dolly!

Hello Dolly!!

Good evening all. 75F for the start, clear, calm wind. Wind stayed light, sky became partly cloudy, and high temp was 95F HI105. Woke up at 4 finally went back to sleep shortly after 5 slept till 8 . Took a while to wake up eat breakfast and bike this morning. This afternoon changed oil and rotated tires for trip on the truck. Started 1:30 and finish tool pick at 8:30. Cartridge filter had a small o ring was a pain to get off and on.Also took of wrong panel at beginning of job, will go a lot smother next time. Oil was real dirty after 5k miles, no wonder salesman told to us 5K for oil change interval. Clean windshield, vacuum floor pack and ready to leave No computer and poor cell phone while at lake.
Drew, good luck with your tinitus Mine is not bad just pops up from time to time especially whaen I don't wear earplugs :ashamed:
Ron, prayers for you and Betty.
Nice Dolly David
prayers for all

Good morning.

Ron, hope those wonderful hospice people can make Betty comfortable. My thoughts are with you both.


RNG, thanks for the paypal tip. I have used it for many years without any problems but until you mentioned it, I hadn't looked for the section on pre-authorised payments and found some in there that I had never knowingly approved of. For now I have manually de-selected them, but I'm now having second thoughts about the convenience of paypal.

I am another one with constant tinnitus to which their is no magic off switch, nor any volume control. It has taken a few years but I have slowly come to terms with it and am now simply thankful for the reduced hearing I have left, rather than dwelling on what it was like before.

In my youth the BBC had a monopoly on what could be heard on radio and for the most part it was targeted at an older generation. Instead we used to listen to music broadcast all the way from Luxembourg and later on, pirate radio ships. The same songs got played over and over again, reception was awful, fading in and out with lots of hiss and crackle, yet I listened for hours. Now the internet lets me hear an almost unlimited quantity and variety of music and I can play it through much better amps and speakers. I can't hear conversations like I used to, but if I'm honest, listening to music is better now than when I was young.
