BevMo and Total Wine kick ass.

BevMo is West Coast only (CA, AZ, WA). Total Wine is West, Southwest, and East Coast only.

Binny's would be the Chicago equivalent, while Discount Liquor would be the best shop in Wisconsin.

By selection they have the best selection of local beer. Being in Milwaukee that selection is very large. If I wanted the largest selection of miller, bud, and Sam Adams, yeah, I would go to a larger grocery store.

Also, whole foods and out post are both about 10 mins away. Woodman's is about 30-40 minutes out, and to find a large liquor store I would need to go even further since I live in the Third Ward and there are no liquor stores near me.

Discount Liquor is ~5 miles away from you.

They're hose clamps. PN# and diagram here:

Tasca is cheapest at $1.84 a piece for #21. Though FCP Groton may be cheaper - make sure you get the right size:

The green spring is inside the Forge CBV. The others you have to order as a set, hence the "available for purchuse" line... ;)

awesome thank you both. im handicapped with reading comprehension . and instaling forge cbv = worse than banjo bolt

BUT from what ive gathered ive never seen anyoone , well reporting of it at least online, take the cbv apart then install it onto the car with the top section off. then its super easy to get to the bottom bolt from under neath the car. (dam big hands) . then install spring and top sections and bam. only took me 4-5 hrs to figure that out :lol:

(and if someone did say that dam my searching skillz)

also when i first got my cbv when i put it in its spot and oriented it correctly that stupid 90 degree vacuum elbow hit the water pipe(like what i searching told me). so why not take the cbv apart? then u can "clock" it like a turbo and have the vacum elbow aim str8 up. (same orientation as wastegates vacuum niple)

POV from Air Tanker MAFF6 flying over and dropping retardant along control line on Rim Fire near Yosemite.

Wow, I see tankers in and out of the tanker base here in Billings (KBIL) all the time. I'm sure most people have no idea the difficulty and dangers these crews face on a routine basis. Around here it's still vintage propeller based bombers like the Convair 580 or the Lockheed PV-2. I remember the video of a wing breaking off of a retardant bomber, a C130 if I remember correctly, sad sad sad. Now if we could just upgrade the fleet for these crews. Nothing but respect for these guys and all

firefighters.

This fire is a monster. I can only imagine the devastation that it is causing to the wilderness and the people living in the area. There is little anyone can do from the ground on this one. Its mostley air support, but doesn't seem they are really getting any kind of a handle on it.

Really hope we don't get any fires around here, all resources available are working the Rim Fire.

Do large items need to be boxed before shipping? Or can they be shipped as-is? Such as the trailer hitch I'm about to buy. Seller said he was going to find a box for it, and I'm thinking it might be easier and cheaper to box the mounting hardware and ship the hitch unboxed.

Or do shippers pole vault in their spare time and will somehow manage to fuck it up?
