And whistle tips

He was cranky when we bathed him in the dishwasher.

Decided to finally get around to cleaning the clothes dryer vent, which hasn't been cleaned since we installed that dryer - around 9 years ago. Floor underneath was pretty filthy... but it wasn't as...

Those look like they just attach to the same body-mounted factory studs that the OEM steps attach to. Do they? The description on the website hints at that, by mentioning the two or three sets of...

How is AKPM these days?

Who makes real rock sliders for a fullsize truck?

Somebody here needs to buy this and restart the maggot summit gatherings.

It would take only a few seconds to alter the "R" in Roo into a "P".

Just saying. In case you see it again...

My truck didn't come with any side steps - $600 option from the factory, so I bought some take offs on Craigslist for much less and installed them last year when I got the truck. They fit nicely,...

I had an XJ that came with the factory off-road package, which later turned into the up country one. Don't expect any lift from those leaf packs - other than that new packs will not be sagged like...

I'd bounce it, then wipe the chain with a rag. I live in a desert though.

It's a brand new ski, from a big retail store, that may or may not have voids due to faulty manufacturing. Are you local to the store? I'd exchange them, and inspect the next pair closely too.

So the next vehicle will be domestic brand?

You could get them printed on a sponge that expands when put in water. They'd remember that.

FWIW, I tried using an electric pressure washer, but had to return it because it tripped the GFCI outlets in my garage. If you don't have those in the garage, you may be OK then.

I ended up with a...

I live near a ski area, maybe 5 miles in a straight line. When the avy bombs go in winter, it rumbles at the house.

It was like that.

Arson suspected. Report of search for person seen running away from the propane tank that blew, getting in a truck, driving away fast.

Watering my yard with hoses, but I walked up in the direction of the fire to check for spot fires. If neighbors yards burn, it's likely to spread towards mine. I live in high desert, big pine trees...

I have to do the, finest TGR tradition of post first, then deal with emergency...

When a house close by explodes, burning the neighbor houses too, and you have to stand around wondering if yours is gonna burn too.l - that's annoying.

Haven't been evacuated yet but standing by...

If you leave that rack in the hitch long term, I'd put some grease on the threaded section and on the insert. If it gets removed between uses, I wouldn't bother with anything.

SFB as moderator would be fantastic. Imagine the messages he would send as warnings...

Project done. Used a 1" wood drill bit (pictured, don't know what they are officially called), enlarged the hole using a metal rasp bit. Easy. Had a hockey puck in the bin already, so no cost....

Amazon has them for you - hurry!...

I have some wood boring drill bits that might be close in size. I was thinking just start the hole with the hole saw - use it to mark the outline of the hole, essentially.

Suggestions for some kind of saddle or pad for a bottle jack? I need it for spare tire changing on a travel trailer, so it would be placed up under the axle at the leaf spring area.

Thinking I may...

Thanks. I should have my new fittings tomorrow from Amazon, so I'll give it a try with dikes. If no go, I have a dremel that'll do it.

Good tip on the heat gun too, thanks.

It stopped, didn't it?

Annoying, but not at all unexpected: Fed Ex claimed to deliver a package to me on Sunday, containing some bike parts. Fed Ex tracking says left on front porch at 2 pm.

I was outside in the...

Thanks - I've seen those suggestions on removal, but I can't get a screwdriver tip under that end piece (as pictured). I'll try with a larger set of dikes for grabbing onto the band end.

They're this style:...

Some statin drugs can cause rhabdo also. It's a pretty rare side effect, but in case you're taking any statins...

What's the easy way to remove a Pex stainless band clamp? Replacing a couple of connections in an RV, and don't want to cut the pex tubing any shorter.

Watching NBC News, and there's a story that people are spending real money on fake real estate.

People are idiots. I am amused.

This one looks really clean. Facebook marketplace has several Pathfinders and is easy to search.

Re: second story - I think the neighborhood CCRs require everything to be two story, and there are a lot of houses that are basically one story with a small upstairs area to satisfy that.

An additional weird thing with that house is that it's some kind of insulated concrete form structure. So whoever is building it wanted a lot of insulation, which is great, but that roof design...

Mrs C had that Sette carbon hardtail, XO1 2x10 build. It was really light. Definitely an old school geometry, but had no problem selling it locally.

There's still a lot of people with 26"...

Seems like the right thread for this: in my neighborhood is this new house being built, with a roof sloping down the length of the house - directly against the garage wall adjacent.

Why would...

Have a look at Ragley's offerings -- if what you want isn't in stock, set a stock notice alert.

But when it blows a head gasket, he can hop it up with one of these - and he won't even need to overnight parts from Japan! Or add a second and convert it to AWD!

Feel the force flow through you. The Kessel Run in under six parsecs will little Luke Fried and Leia Fried do.

Play with the comparisons here - you can input your existing bike(s) and see what the difference may be like:

This might not be so useful if it's all foreign lingo to...

Is this what they mean by "type 2 fun"?

How's Specialized with tire warranty?

Mounted a new Purgatory 2.6 yesterday on a new wheel (1 ride), it seated properly all around the bead. On Mrs C's new Ripley, on an Ibis Blackbird rim. ...

Runs for the border.

I think they're magnetic and supposed to help protect against scratches during overlanding... you know, like when you park too close to someone at the mall or a shopping cart gets away from someone....

It's not my fault that she forgot the safe word!
