Smile Greetings!

Just a midnight intro because FTE thinks I've never posted before. I have, but maybe I don't recall my name or log in stuff. More likely they don't know me because of my new computer.

I used to be a mechanic. I'm a long time Ford fan, even since childhood. I've owned many Fords, now a F350 worktruck & an Aerostar van.

Fords are typically simple, strong, hold up well & are relatively inexpensive to maintain.

No, Ford didn't make the first car ever. He did invent the garage door though, after using a fire axe to enlarge his shop door enough to get his first car out for it's first late night test drive in about 1896!

I tried to put a small photo on for an avatar but couldn't shrink it enough to get under the kilobyte barrier. Will reduce the pixels per inch next.

Y'all have a good forum here. It's helped me in past & again tonight in diagnosing my clockspring prob on the Aero.

Greetings & cheers to all from Ted The Handyman in North Carolina!

PS Where's the spell checker button??!!

Thanks for the response, guys. I'm from Raleigh, but I've lived & worked around Pinehurst & Southern Pines for years. I live south where I can afford it in Rockingham, NC, seven miles from SC. -Ted K.
