Looks like the forum was down from about 8:15 am to just a bit ago.
Oh, well, needed to clean my truck battery terminals anyhow.

Twas about 6:15 eastern for me.
It was the scariest couple of hours... where would I go? What would I do?
I needed to clean out the crumbs from my keyboard so at least it was productive.....

I noticed a few minutes ago. I tried three times over fifteen minutes and got in on my final attempt.
Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.
I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
Okay, be honest. How many of you had it cross your minds that Biden's FBI or some other government agency had shut down the forum as being a breeding ground for domestic terrorism, and that all of our IP addresses were being placed on a watch list in DC?

As soon as tpf went down I felt so at odds with it I blacked out!.
When I awoke I realized that I was only dreaming that a beautiful nurse was standing over me telling me I was an amazing man
I agreed.
I went back to sleep. The dream came back again.
This time the entire staff of nurses were telling me I was "amazing"
Again , i agreed
Then...I walked outside. There was an IRL nurse saying I was "amazing"
I agreed
I'm yo.
This my brother yo
We yo yo
No red flags there.
Truthfully, I wouldn't worry too much about a would-be terrorist looking up those kinds of things on a computer that could be traced back to them. With that kind of brainpower in play, odds are that they would poison themselves, blow themselves up or set themselves on fire before doing any actual damage to the infrastructure or the general public.

So truck battery terminals. Last week, the truck wouldn't start so I had AAA come out. His tune changed when I showed him the battery was under warranty. Look, it's all corroded here. Texas heat. And so he jump-started it. Well, I'm determined to either fix it or prove him wrong and get a new battery. So I got battery terminal cleaner, wire brushes, and corrosion preventative. That's what I did this morning and took it for a drive to recharge. Also bought a trickle charger etc.
Doing research I found two things. One, Ford F150s are notorious for corroding battery terminals. They build them cheap not like the old days with just a heavy cable running into a terminal you bolt onto a battery post, no, now they're complicated and thin and easy to break. Two, you cannot just buy the terminal part from Ford, no, they sell only the terminal with an entire wiring harness assembly (3 cables) for $260! One source explained installing it requires special tools and the Ford shop charges another $250 for labor!!
So now I'm determined to fix this damned thing myself. Or get AAA to pony up a new battery.
