  1. I will mail payments 3 or 4 days before the schedule due date (when I mail payments). If the due date is a weekend or a Monday, I will mail it a day sooner. I also go on-line to make payments, even recurring payments, and schedule when the payment is to be made. I usually select the day before the due date. That is because vendors may cut off the "receipt time" before they post receipts sent in - see my comment about credit cards above.
  2. The banks post your payment when it is received (or when they get around to it). A delay in posting can/will occur when the payment is sent to a lock box or third party processor. (Credit card processors were sued several years ago for posting payments after the due dates, even though the payments were received at a lock box timely. Payments weren't posted until they were picked up by accounting. The CC companies were making MILLIONS of dollars by charging late fees.) Banks grant a longer late period (by law?) of up to 15 days. So, to answer your question, yes, you will show/report more interest since the payment gets posted after the 1st. That is because the interest is calculated on the number of days since the last payment was posted: 30 vs. 31 days. $Mortgage balance x Int Rate% / (#days/365) By varying the # days, either more or fewer, will alter the interest calculation. If you do not want to pay more interest, then possibly set up automatic payments. You set the day the bank withdraws the $$$. Some lenders give discounts to have automatic payments.
  3. Are those sold in Epcot or Hollywood Studios?
  4. New approach: Moe, Curly, and Larry take their automotive repair business on the road with a "Mobile Garage" service.
  5. That's ingenious! Now he has a place to park, no matter where he goes.
  6. Mine was running lean for a while. I searched all components for possible causes. My searches led me to an intake manifold leak. I changed the gasket and it is no longer stuck in OL. The ST and LT fuel trims have leveled off, also.
  7. If you haven't purchased one yet, get the REM from Nickintime. Many Renix owners have one and love it. I know, I am one of them.
  8. Sounds like the ECU is running in Open Loop (OL) at 800 RPMs. When it switches to Closed Loop (CL) the RPMs drop. If the ECU detect either ultra lean or rich condition, the ECU switches back to OL. The RPMs will level out at 800, again. After several seconds, the ECU will switch back to CL. Just like shampoo instructions: Lather, Rinse, Repeat. You will need to determine why it keeps dropping in/out of CL. I would recommend you download the 88 wiring diagrams and the Renix fuel injection manual. Also, do Cruiser's Tips for the Renix

    COVID Chances

    My county has a 38% chance of getting COVID. That means I have 62% chance of not getting COVID. That's approx. 2-to-1 against. I'll go about living my life, thank you. I will wear a mask when I am out.

    Just making 1 beer. That’s going to be 10 gallons of a rye IPA
  13. It is not proper to call people "Auto Mechanics" now. A better term is "Auto Technicians." With the electronics on vehicles today, you have to have good, working knowledge of computer in order to diagnose and fix vehicles. Going to a trade school will give you the knowledge...and you get to use their electronics. Some of the schools may assist you with purchasing the tools of the trade by discount programs from suppliers Many people can pick up a book or manual and read it to obtain knowledge. They will learn from their mistakes along the way. It is better to learn from the mistakes of others.
  14. ~$12,700 new in June 1987
  15. You can name your truck: Christine (Think Stephen King)

    I hate theives

    Certainly cuts down on repeat offenders.
  17. I've picked up replacement mirror tops from the auto parts stores. They're not "factory," but they work.

    Arlo Guthrie

    Thanksgiving is coming soon. Let’s all start singing “Alice’s Restaurant." They’ll think we’re a movement!
  19. Mine used to have a dealer installed liner. There was no lettering on it.
  20. Been there... Done that... Don’t need the t-shirt
  21. Looks like you have cable for a 4wd MJ. NAPA has the longer and shorter cables available.
  22. People can search their states for any LKQ salvage yards at https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/ I am near the LKQ in Mt. Airy MD and go there frequently. LKQ is a business. They cycle the vehicles through their inventory. Vehicles may only be on the lots for just a few months.
  23. I was at the local landfill dropping off stuff. While there, I saw another MJ doing the same. I stopped a chatted with the owner. He has an 87 LWB 4.0 auto. He is the original owner. I gave him a card and told him to check out CC. Hopefully he does and joins. BTW - Pete I need more cards. I am almost out.

    Hummer EV

    I am waiting for the latte maker option. Honestly, how could GM not include this...and lots of cup holders. These are a must when I drive it to the mall.
