Bob, I sent a pm to someone else and then was blocked from sending a second pm. I'll give you a yell tomorrow night. I have no computer access during the day. lc

Dave, Caught this post a bit late but I'll put your wife on the prayer list. Steve PM your way.

Sounds like things are chuggin along just fine! LOL Never a dull moment.........

OD Thanks and same back at ya! How are things going in the Family with the new addition and all?

If you hunt wabbits with dogs/beagles they are never gonna understand when you pull that out of the truck!

Sorry to hear that SS. Hope it takes this time!

Thanks Spiris, I wanted to confirm this because I'm not that familiar with this assy. Looks like I have it to do. I'll make the checks you suggested and appreciate the help. lc

Thanks fella's. The brushes don't have an external access. Here is a link to the schematic. Part #22 on the drawing is my part. The motor is held in place by tabs. I can't really tell if the Brush unit slides into place or if some tab holds it down. Dewalt Schematic

I have a 14.4 volt Dewalt, DW983 cordless drill. The Brushes are smoking and I need to replace them. I've found replacements to order on the net but wanted to make sure of how to put them in. I'm not sure how to go about it from looking at the motor. Any ideas? If more info is needed I might be able to post a pic of that end of the motor. Thanks, lc

Fly, I've never used one bit I like the idea. A traditional weed eater is hard on my back. This would take away the constant twisting and be a lot easier on the back. That alone would sell me on the idea if the price was right and it was reliable. The only Troy Built machine that I've used was a 5hp snow blower. That thing was a workhorse. Well built too. lc

OD, Glad it's going well with the travel. That's a blessing indeed. 2 of our last 3 were NOT good travelers until they were about 2yo! That was difficult. Hope the transition for one and all continues to go as well as the trip has.

How long can we wait? When will the damage be too great to reverse?

We shouldn't be going home. We should be banning together. Who will rally us to our cause? Behind whom will we go into battle?(Figurative I hope) I keep hoping for a scene like the last battle in Lord of the Rings when the battle was taken to the gates of Mordor! Where did I put my claymore and kilt??

Awesome OD. You got the addition finished? We've got a nice even 5 now with the addition of our son Isaiah who is 11wks old. You need another to round that four out to five LOL

Komrad Karl for president! It was just nice to read those things all in one place! Thanks for stimulating a hopeful thought.

It sounds as though consistent use of a good multivitamin is about all you need to worry about. How do the people in the extreme north fare when they have near darkness for 24 hrs a day? Is there a greater problem for them with synthesis and uptake?

Gentlemen, Thanks for the feedback and discussion on this topic.

My biggest concern would be doses. What amount would be advisable and what would be too much? Can excessive D3 cause toxicity or other undesirable effects?

Looks like I'm back where I started. I may give it a try next year. Maybe I'll at least get some psychosomatic benefit...............

The flu is going around here in KY. My family, 4 of the 7 of us have gotten it. I was talking with an older lady at a patients home today. She is into homeopathic treatment and prevention. We were discussing cold and flu type illnesses and she recommended taking Vit D3 from late October through May of the following year. She said that she and her husband have taken the "Sun Vitamin" in this manner for the last 4 years and no longer get those nagging winter sicknesses. When questioned about the years preceding this she stated that they were always sick then. What are your thoughts on this? Any evidence of effectiveness that you've run across? thanks, lc

Dave, That sounds like a great meal. I just printed the recipe and will have the girls make it up this week. Can't wait. thanks Steve

Straight Shooter, My mouth is watering!! Do you have the recipe handy for the Cilantro Pesto sauce??

Lotta miles left in that truck SS. How's the rehab coming along??

Well, She ain't pretty so it can't be sex appeal!!

Oh, my goodness!!!
