You can have a larger avatar and enjoy the threads in Club FTE?

And if you feel the need to up for 3 years, you get a free T-Shirt.
Just to let you know, there are no more three year memberships available, hence no free T-shirts. All new, and re-ups are for one year only.

Did you know you can click on the "Members List" in the blue tool bar above and sort the list by state and many other ways???

Makes it easy to see who are the new FTE members from the state.

Title Subject For Posts

Do you know why when you do a search it seems you can't find what you are looking for?

One of the reasons is because hardly anyone uses the "Title area" to post the main topic of the post.

If we all could remember to do this in the technical forums, like I did on this post, then it will make it easier to find what we are looking for.

If I could find what I was looking for, I'd be on a yacht sucking down Daiquiris, with half naked women serving my every needs.

















Ah crap I just woke up.

I have found this site http://www.worldtimeserver.com/ for helping to find the best times to call the new CLs; Plan my Int'l buis. trips (figure out jet lag and landing times ahead of time )- and it also helps with those pesky Int'l conference call planning periods.

Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.


Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.



If you look at your gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump. The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the pump. If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left. If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo below). It is that simple!







Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I don't understand why this isn't in the drivers ed manual? I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!

Much better when the cars had the filler in the middle of the vehicle, behind the license plate. There was no "wrong side" then!

Ever want a program to clean up and email that has been forwarded ten thousand times and you don't want all of those <<<<<<< to show? Well I found a FREE program to do that for me. It's called Email Stripper and info can be found here,,,,,,,

emailSTRIPPER

emailSTRIPPER is a free program for cleaning the ">" and other formatting characters out of your emails. It will restore "forwarded" or "replied" emails back to their original state so they're easier to read. (more...)

Bud, BPofMD emailed me this info.

Here's something for your Useful Tips Forum.
http://www.bedlib.org/ebsco.html

Click on the ARRC box, insert the word "library" for both the user name and password. It's maintenence manuals for most all vehicles with the electrical diagrams too.

Thanks Bud for the tip.
