Or best option complete replacement $12,000." Anyone else see anything wrong with this? Wouldn't a motor be included with options 2 & 3? Of course the sales rep was calling every hour until John told him he found a replacement motor on-line for $500.

In all honesty, there is no good reason to ever drive in or out of Manhattan. None. There isn't anywhere you can't get to that isn't accessible by subway, commuter rail, or bus. The whole island should be turned into one gigantic pedestrian mall with the only vehicles allowed being taxi, Uber and delivery trucks. I am amazed that Lenny has never driven off of Long Island. Although driving in and out of Long Island (technically Queens and Brooklyn but same thing) is only slightly less aggravating than driving in Manhattan. Every time I'm stuck on the Throgs Neck Bridge on the way to Jones or Robert Moses beach, I tell myself there has to be a better way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day (sorry for using that) I could do tuneups, change out starters, alternators, carburetors, belts, radiators, etc etc. Changed engines and tranny's with Dad and Brother when restoring cars. Even body work as a beginner. I miss those days hanging out in garage with my Dad. Awesome, Debbie! My neighbor (female) across the street, amazes me also. She grew up learning to be a mechanic in her Mom's garage. Not only does she know all things mechanical (she came over last year and worked on my lawn mower), but she makes beautiful furniture in her garage, among other things. She took me on a tour of her huge vegetable garden, etc. I know I've said it before on here...you are so Blessed to have had the loving relationship with your Dad.🥰 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a hopping place. Your posts bring back many happy memories from LBI, enjoy your birthday on the island. Thank you April. Yes, we have done many late night/early morning munchies at the Chicken or the Egg too. today is mostly cloudy and was quite chilly on the beach so we just went for another bike ride. I think we are over 10 miles today. Going to read on my deck and try to catch whatever UV rays I can before we have to get ready for Howards French Fried Lobster tonight. They have the best Lobster Bisque too! Enjoy your day😃 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband can fix or build almost anything but also knows when to call a pro. He also knows if they are doing the job correctly or not and will be on hand watching while they do it. We don't do tile but have done wooden floors. He can hang ceiling fans and do small electrical jobs but did have the electrician out to hook up the generator. I tackle the painting jobs although he will pick up the roller and do the big parts while I cut in. This spring we rented a lift and spent a weekend trimming up the trees close to the house. Same here...We've always done most of the home improvement/repair jobs ourselves; especially Jim, though! Jim even renovated our bathroom in Naples this past Winter after having his knee surgery (which he now admits doing the tiling on the floor did NOT help with his knee). We have hired tree companies over the past 5 years to take down many of our trees here, though. The one time Jim and his pals took down a tree (we were in our mid-20's) one of the guys wasn't paying attention, and the tree pulled the wires down which were attached to our neighbors siding. Thank goodness she was a great and understanding neighbor..lol! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can pull a tree down with a tractor he will but otherwise he will have it done by the pros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then rode our bikes down to Holgate and wandered around a bit, now back home and getting ready for the beach. Clouds are rolling in - I'm not happy about that as I love my Sunshine😃 It's your Birthday today???? Happy Birthday Debbie!
