Sounds like you didn't have a proper ground on it if it was doing the exact same thing. At least you got it started, I've had to bump mine a few times.

Also, it's cold out today.

The Malibu ones worked fine. I think the spherical ones would prob b pretty noisey

i see this very often, it's a glitch with the browser;
closing and reopening the browser usually does it for me...
I also sometimes open up wordpad type in there, then cut & paste it for a forum post (this prevents me having to close the browser window...

re: coffee;
I'm pretty sure mark said a couple pages back that he wouldn't be up to it tonight...
I'd be game ~ as long as I don't feel like crap...
I think I've got this cold that's going around... (hopefully I'll be over it by this evening.)
btw, I'm still rolling in the rental... JC apparenly has the engine fixed, but has been waiting on a valve cover gasket...

Who's "they"? PayPal, eBay, etc. all use current rates.

Paypal still uses the bank rates and although it says 1.01 usd per canadian, there still is a fee for the change over. the banks give you .98 exchange rate and that includes the fee.

I just changed money over last week and I was explained why it's .98 per dollar. the middle man fee and such.

I don't even look at the price exchange anymore. If I need the part bad enough I'm gonna pay the price regardless
