Hiya Uncle Oldduke!

Happy Sundae (all day long).

Seems like I'm starting to pack up. Back to WA-state for me. This time, west of the cascades. Near Olympia.

Yeah, sorry I went on. I had a notion about a modern crime noir series in the modern era, first written, yet broadcast. Too sophisticated for the MeriKan market. They need that CSI NCIS fascist bool sheet to feel like the copper do good. Only when the legit cameras are on. Not when the non-legit cameras are on. We've seen that, huh. Over and over. Say no to the Fraternal Order of Dirty Coppers.

Doing bad and corruption remain widespread. There is the human nature part of it, and the incentives: money and / or power and the feeling one may have pulling it off. Doing wrong, like the vacuum hose scam or a new vapor lock.

Welp, you could write, edit, have it reviewed by others, and self-publish a PDF that one can unlock should they send payment. With a website or a blog like Word Press you could sell your written ware and notion, with pictures. It'd be fastest.

It helps to research what has been done before in the topic or topics you want to write in or to, and not repeat prior efforts. Though I can imagine not many have if at all.

Getting an agent, if one picks you up and promotes you, that also offers an editor (hopes a good editor), and finding a publisher who will purchase publishing rights, and figure presales on the internets and in print at the Barnes and Noble may be useful.

Socket 2 OBD 1-4-3 - missing knock sensor. Least on our 1989+ 240s.

There was a question about the 1-4-3, yes? Of was it the 3-1-1 and the idle? I forget. I have a bookmark that goes to the code 3-1-1 and the high idle every time I type RWD in the browser.

I'd not had this happen to me though about the 1-4-3.

yet, yeah, the repair facilities will charge 100$s to connect an OBD code scanner when it takes no time, or you can buy your own scanner for OBD-II, or go to the AutoZone or Kragen or what have you. They'll do it free.

Bad attitude. Oh, I've sent some loo-loos. Sometimes the off-putting may be in the reading, interpretative theory or hermeneutics or critical theory.

Bad attitude? No, not at all.

Yet in our age of the New Elocutionary since the end of the American Civil War, who knows. Sarcasm may be taken wrong in written form unless context and subtext are with the message. So, we should all draw / write comic books?

So much is about tone and texture in the so-called marketplace of brought and paid for ideals.

Hope that helps. I dunno if I'm answering your questions, Uncle Old Duke. Wish I had an Uncle Moe. Well, an Uncle, sibling, children, wife. Someone. Got's nuttin' save for the three 240s and plans to return to the Evergreen State.

Rather go to Finland. They may not have a sense of humor, yet their coppers are not evil like ours in the U.S.

Happy Sundae,

Mac Duff.
