Caltrops from the sidewalk 4-6ft into the yard. I once threatened throw a dog turd at someone who let their noisy poop maker crap in my yard. I was working on the truck I had at the time and she didn't see me when she was looking around while her dog squatted. I came out from under the truck and yelled at her to pick it up. She pretended not to hear me until I told she was about to wear it. She said she didn't have a bag so I told her I'd get her one. I got a bag from the house with the quickness and she was hustling down the block. More yelling and she came back to threaten me with the police (pre-cell phone days). I handed her the bag and told her to be an adult. She eventually picked it up, walked down the block, and threw the bag in my neighbor's trash can. Cops never showed.
As someone that used to mow lawns for a living and used a bagger, random dog turds are a pet peeve of mine.
Fortunately it hasn't been a problem in the rural area that I live in. The biggest offender was a friend of mine that moved across the street. I wasted no time telling him in specific terms about the error of his ways.

Next time I see her walking my way, I'm heading out there with my video camera, and I'm going to wait and video her walking up to my house, and then say
"hello there. Good morning... come to leave more dog crap on my lawn for me to pick up, or the school kids to step in as they walk by ? I'm taking some nice photos of you as the township police asked me to do, so that when they come to your house, and subpoena you to go up before the judge, he can clearly recognize your face. He's not very kind to neighbors being inconsiderate to other neighbors."
See what kind of response I get. Depending on what time of month it is for her it could be very, very interesting, which is why the video / audio on my camera will be on the entire time. The most difficult part for me will be to be as nice and kind as possible when I speak to her, as I don't want her accusing me of being threatening....

Today, I put my new TV cable in, and gave her a test run.
Shifts at
26MPH
35mph
40mph.
Can't seem to get it to shift any different regardless of where I set the cable, so I guess either I'm not doing it properly, or there's something funky in the trans going on.
Oh well. Shifts fine for now..

All painted up and hopefully install today..
My Wiring conduit fabrication I started last week for my running board lighting. Last couple years of plowing, the snow boulders have been ripping the wiring out to my running lights, therefore I needed a way to protect the wiring from again being ripped out
Thanks again to Jim Lane for the naked butt connectors ideas. Perfect-o.

Ntjman. U said u shift at 26 36 and 40. Mine shifts faster. Like 1,2,3 now I'm at 35. When I bought the truck it shifted hard. And took a while to do it. It had no spring on the tv cable and "rested" about half way in the Slot. I put a spring one it and now it shifts to fast ( to me). Question is. Does it hurt the trans to just tie the tv cable back

I've read that you can break or burn things up if,its not functional. Angry Johnny might know just what happens as he's a transmission tech for Chrysler.
The adjustment for,the,cable is in the FSM. Unfortunately I don't have a 1990 fsm, otherwise I'd look it up for you. Mine requires a gap between the rear end of the slotted end where the throttle rod meets the slot. I can post the 1992 fsm page later for you to get an idea of what I mean.
