Well, so far so good? Maybe? Had a little help getting here. Truck dashboard burst into flames as I was leaving Wasilla. Then getting loaded onto the 40' flatbed the deck fell through needed a crane truck to help. So I have been here since the 22nd of July, and working, and trying to stabilize...

1954 Massey Harris Pony farm tractor. The year was 1988 and I was 7 years old. Grampa thought a mechanical babysitter was awesome, and it didn't go fast enough to get into serious trouble and would go all day and then some on a tank of gas... Then, when I was 17, I bought a 1942 Ford model 2N...

Ok. You want to know. Let me paint a vivid picture, and then animate it. Nearly all my "hearie problems" occur in public. So this is kinda long winded, with several examples. Well, for starters, there's 3 methods of dealing with people in general. When the hapless store clerk opens their...

I have same problem, except you still have a job. I was self employed since 2005 then lost 100% hearing in November 2011 to ear infection, and work coming in has slid down to zilch, and moving to Fox, Alaska is my only option at this point. As for "phantom sounds" yes, I would hear hammers...

According to my psych eval (which I am at a loss for how to pay this doctor and the xlator...) I am dangerously depressed, should be medicated, guns taken away, and put in a hospital for my own safety as well as the safety of the people around me. Clearly if I can't pay the $98 per hour for the...

First, I must afford a doctor. To do that, I must have work or a job. To get job must be hearing. I seem to be stuck between hearing people and a rock. So money = no doctor or psychiatrist. No doctor equal no help. No help means I am on my own, like always. So on my own I must follow...

Do tell how I can do that. Been pulled over and beaten because I spoke up about the felony level crimes these cops commit. They know where I live, they lnow what I drive and they know I am deaf. If the authorities are willing to do this to try to force me into submission, then whom do I take it...

Its a COOT. Google "COOT ATV" and you'll see what I mean. Last one to sell locally here was in much worse shape than mine and went for $2300 bucks. I am asking a mere $475 for mine just to get rid of it and fund the fuel for going north. -Chris

Online conversation is no compare to in-person conversation. Tired of being alone, pushed into a dark corner and fed bulls**t all the time. I am not a mushroom. New town, new people, new faces, new places, and the big one: Mafia ring-leader "Chief Belden" from the Wasilla Police Dept isn't...

Well, I am doing it. Moving north to Fairbanks. F**K these bigots here in Wasilla-Palmer-Anchorage! This weekend having a moving sale. Got all sorts of goodies up for sale... Amphibious ATV, 1967 Chevy C30 Flatbed with rare independent rear suspension (90% restored), 4 tractors, ATV tires...

Only $46 bucks? In Alaska they bend you over, stick it and break it off in you type citation for $500 bucks for not wearing your seatbelt! My tractor, motorcycle, boat, bicycle, and skateboard do not have seat belts... My one car does though...

I had to pick my nephew up from school yesterday. I was to take him to the doctor's office for one of his appointments. I stood on the sidewalk where he would normally come out of the building to head toward the bus so that he would see me and not get on the bus. School lets out, and I watch...

Good luck with that. I have been 100% deaf since November 3rd of 2011, and my entire family full out completely REFUSES to learn any sign. You cannot force them to accept or change anything. You can only invite them to accept love and change for the better. Keep the invitation there always no...

I am planning to be in Italy during October. Going to change up the adventure from one bloody survival situation to another type scenario to actually enjoying myself for a month...

Push a button or use a key to start the car? Really? I USE A HAND CRANK!!

Forgot to mention: the tanks I have are 2200 PSI rated medical oxygen aluminum tanks. Same as aluminum scuba tanks. Just in case anyone wanted to know...

The beauty of using an AC compressor is the electric clutch on the front so it's not always dragging on the engine and it either kicks on when you throw a switch or it has a pressure switch that kicks it on when the pressure is low. My preference is a pressure switch as well as a manual...

Just use aluminum scuba tanks or old brass fire extinguishers. No rust. If you are looking to use an AC pump for this, then connect the inlet port to the air intake system of the engine between the throttle plates and the air filter. This will prevent dirt and debris (we have a silt problem up...

Dual row timing chain set for my truck, which has the 22RE (1991, so it's got fuel injection) is not the same as the old 20r because the deck height is different which sets the timing off, and you have to remove 2.5 chain links which turns it into a nightmare. My solution was simpler. I get the...

Being unemployed and bored, I picked up a 1991 Toyota short bed, small-cab base model 4x4 truck equipped with a 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission. I started by removing the bed. Soon I will have the axle from a 1997 Ford Windstar welded to it and for sale on Craigslist for $500 bucks as...
