Never let facts

interfere with your feelings.

And for the love of God, close your commments before someone proves you wrong. About eight hundred times.

Rock me, I’m a danish.

Actually, what I told the Ogwife was, “Kiss me I’m a genius”

She’s been having difficulty with the ABS on the Escape, and I’m not in posession of the magical ABS scan tool, so it’s a tough diagnosis. I went through everything I knew- but no dice. Finally, unable to do much electronically, I started testing the air gap between the sensors and the tone ring, and found that one sensor was almost .120 high! it seems a piece of ice or dirt or something had gotten jammed up under the sensor and pushed it up, causing it to not sense the tone ring all the time. Woof!

Cleaned it, reaffixed it, and voila! A functional ABS system. Without anything but labor expended.

Good lord, am i glad of this.

The K31

as much as I lurves it

has developed an annoying malf, and it is Gonna Get Fixed.

If you cock the rifle manually, it gives you a solid and reliable two stage trigger pull, but if you cycle it nomally, the trigger doesn’t seem to have two stages and will break unexpectedly.

Now, I can SHOOT this rifle. And I am got-damned if a freakish trigger is going to change that.

SO I have to drill out a few cases and seat some bullets to make action proving dummies.

I don’t know if it’s dirt or a weak spring or what, but I will have this SOB working properly by the next NPCCC military match.
