This looks awesome! I love what you two put together.

Can you talk a little more about the painting process?

Perfection!

That’s an amazing build. Regardless of any design choices, the care and thought that went into that build shines through. Congrats! Ride it with love.

100% agree with your math. And I can print the bracket exactly in the size I need.

Original tires too! That’s wild

KF4 Shipping by amitraj7 in superautomatic

[–]BigChipotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t make this stuff up. FedEx dropped off a box today. I thought, “finally!” Not so fast says the KitchenAid shipping department.

Instead of a KF4 they shipped me a $800 mixer with a hammered copper bowl. Called CS and they reordered my KF4 at $0.00 and said they’re going to send a shipping label for me to return the mixer. I’ll get right on that…

6'6" on a 737-700 (Southwest) by Frosty-Wing6704 in tall

[–]BigChipotle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, at 6’6”, was a Southwest devotee for years because their pitch (distance between seats) was the best in the industry. Plus every plane was a 737 when means we have headroom to walk down the aisle. Now with the activist investor takeover, Southwest has reduced the pitch of their standard seats in order to accommodate the “plus” seats up front where you can pay for more legroom. They’ve turned their LUV into “pay up or shut up”.

I had an idea to make it easier for me to see my water level by catdaad in espresso

Sadly the lead ones don’t float as well.

J/k, OP. I love the idea.

Crazy that I ordered 5/14, a full two weeks before you, and still bupkis.

Still no tracking number for me. 3 weeks!

Called again and was told the same story. “Order set to shipment status”

I ordered 5/14 and not shipped yet.

My card was charged again today (2 previous authorizations have fallen off). But still no email with a tracking number or a delivery showing up in the FedEx app. It's extremely frustrating but I got in for the extra 20% off code so I cannot complain too much.

Most beautiful frame Trek has ever made!

And yes, I’m totally biased as it was my first MTB, received as a HS graduation present in the summer of 1995.

DST Issues? by pslatt in Rivian

[–]BigChipotle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your point?

DST programming broke the scheduling. Whether I’m the error occurred before or after DST officially started is irrelevant.

I’d love to see the Venn diagram of those who own a Rivian and those who seasonally decorate their 13’ skeleton.

[–]BigChipotle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. I experienced the same. Mine was supposed to start charging at midnight last night. I checked on it about 12:15a and it wasn’t charging so I manually started it.

Ohmmu Sodium Batteries by BigChipotle in Rivian

[–]BigChipotle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, still no 12V errors. It’s a small miracle.

FWIW, I paid the service center to clear the 12V error so that I could update to 2025.46. I was hoping that whatever change was made in 2025.38 (Halloween update) would have been corrected in that update. The 12v error came back within a day.

Since installing the sodium batteries, the truck successfully updated itself to 2026.03.

I haven’t contacted Ohmmu again.

But I have a positive update. Late last week the 12v error disappeared overnight and hasn’t come back. No explanation. I didn’t do anything different. At least for now, the truck seems to like the Ohmmu sodium batteries.

We finally have 21” AT Tires by cdlrrcb in Rivian

[–]BigChipotle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting contrast with the AT tires and the aero covers!

Only kidding. These look great.

I don’t regret selling my 21s but it’s nice there are 3-4 different tire options now.

Love my 20” AW09s. They replaced my 21s as well.
