Sounds crazy in 80° weather, but I'm making some good home made chicken noodle soup. Maybe that could help kick the fever?

Sounds like a keeper to me.

I'm stuck with it until it falls apart, most likely. I've had it since it had 19k miles and was 3 years old. It's now 14, and 195k.

or are there 8 more things going bad on my 14 y/o Subaru? How much longer will it last?

Sister in law has a 2004 manual Forester. Over 200K miles I think.

What really pisses me off about this car is that we've had to replace the clutch twice.

OK, you've clearly been driving stick for a long time but I'm going to ask a question anyway:
When you are going to stop do you downshift through the gears or use the brakes and push in the clutch at the end? Kid next door downshifts, I can always hear him coming home. But he does not hear me saying "brakes are a lot cheaper than transmissions".

First off, thanks so much for the birthday greetings, Beer. I woke up this morning and I was still 68. It wasn't just a bad dream, LOL

As for the plane...DH and I both fly RCs and we have both built the balsa wood models. Take some sound advice from us....under no circumstances fly that model.

Seriously. Finish it, put it up, hang it up do anything with it besides flying it. It will not tolerate anything other than an ultra gentle landing without turning into an impressive pile of tooth picks.

They are beautiful but the balsa wood makes them brittle as all get out, especially since nobody really knows how long the balsa wood has been around before you get it.

I built a Stuka and DH has a balsa Cub that he has flown. I worked so hard on that Stuka that I didn't have the heart to even try to fly it.

@lovesfarms I am so glad that you found a doctor who listens to you and reassures you that they can help you.

I'm so sorry that you are dealing with Crohn's also. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and probably inflammatory bowel disease. That's enough to keep me miserable from time to time so I can sure relate. Take care and to both of you.

Awesome someone heard of these things! I've never seen them.
I mentioned it to the boy, maybe just display it hang it from your ceiling? He said no , we're going to fly it. I want to fly it. Saw many YouTube vids of flying easy landings. We'll take a chance. We did 'dope' the frame pretty good, soaked/painted all the frame with 50/50 gorilla wood glue and water, strengthened it added to the weight but recommended. Have a hundred acre field behind us, I'll make sure it's when grass is growing, or now jungle of matted mass, won't fly it if after they cut and dry and hard and some stubble.

Dh fever keeps spiking and blood tests clearly show infection but they can't find where the infection is at

Missed Sally PB's post, I prefer American USA vehicles but I'll say my first few, many were 80's and 90's Subaru's. First car bought was a '80 350 4barrel t-top Camaro but took awhile to replace transmission, had a lot of fun with it but not as much fun as the Subaru's. First drivable car '83 Subaru wagon. Stick shift. Got driver's license on a stick shift buddies z24 Cavalier. I've had many Subaru's every one over 200,000 miles, every one still ran like a top. Second one '85 Brat, I beat that thing harder than anyone could beat a four wheeler or dirt bike, never let me down. Had many more after. I don't like foriegn vehicles but dang. , Subaru's are awesome.
This vid cracks me up the exact same brat I had, same color everything though me and a buddy did paint it camouflage with tree leaves.
