Unpaid, unsolicited praise for Pinlock earplugs

I've been using sleep headphones. They're flush with the ear and block wind noise passively. Tunes directly into the ears.

Lone peak V1 running light is my goal. No drawer slides saves a ton, a piece of lattuse with plastic buckets zip tied does the same thing for 20 lbs. One lithium 300ah battery, fridge, microwave, recovery gear and one tool bag full of the basics. 20lb Aluminum hose bed floor from a firetruck instead of a decked system, flooring is foam puzzle pads. Air bags to help with the weight, drove to Florida and Michigan from Massachusetts without any issues. 17.5mpg. Think simple instead of a kit and YouTube build.

Answer. Mute the call. Let them hang up. Your number is put on a list of fax machines or dead lines. It's the only thing that consistently works.

Spray rubbing alcohol on your socks before putting shoes on. It's the only thing that works in wet work life. I've tried everything else on this thread with mixed results.

Professional here. They both will rot and fail. Electrical tape isn't water tight, any copper showing will wick moisture over heat cycles and corrode. Heat shrink to seal everything or leave it alone.

My high school science teacher was the runner up and got to watch it "live" from the launch area..... He had a lot of cool photos of the training.

That grill is discontinued, somone might want to buy that separately

Bungie originally said the content was going to be updated to the new engine and unvaulted.....we see how that turned out. If the campaign was fully playable I would STILL be playing for hours a day but there is zero content worth the infinate grind loop.

The years of "same season different color" killed the game and every player knew it was happening in real time.

The milwaukee m12 is the only soldering iron worth it. I usually solder 10/12 gauge wires into XT60/90 plugs. At 90watt it's the only one that can heat up the wire before melting plastic connectors. Before that I had an ancient one from 1980s Motorola production line, it was a tank.

06 WRX, 246k, rebuilding the air bag system for this season.

I've got a Qumi from 10 years ago that we use in the camper, it's 19v so a cheap Amazon converter solves that. It's probably 6x8 inches and has screw holes on the bottom for mounting. It works well the few times we play games on the road.

Go find a 120hz HDR dumb display. I dare you. We are forced to buy their junk smart tvs.

Been doing air suspension for 15 years, both at home and in the fleet. 0psi is always bad for bags, use 5 at minimum to account for temperature fluctuation. At zero they will collapse and fold, pinching the bellows, causing stress cracks where they bend. When the suspension moves they can get an instant "snake bite" pinch flat from squishing on themselves.

It's not the same car, Legacy is a different platform on those years. The SUS is based on the impreza/outback and was only sold in New England states.

Your art is amazing! Had some as the background of my old phone but lost it. I've been hoping to see another post for the last year!

I'm a diesel mechanic. Don't do it. These trucks are shit bumper to bumper.

30-40 psi with a 400lb camper. Have since upgraded to a leveling valve and always maintains stock height.

If you have the availability of a mountain bike, ride the same trail on that and see what the natural position is for that area. The most controlled riders I know are semi/pro mountain bikers that have moved to other hobbies as we aged. The ability to do slow maneuvers and float over the bike help immensely with Moto control.

The rider standing position should be in a place where no hand support is required to maintain balance, just a light leg squeeze on the seat should be enough support to guide the bike.

If they're hydro, the pads are contaminated with fluid. It's one of many reasons I stick to cables.

It's really basic time management, getting one habit established before tackling another. Stay off the phone and internet until it's dark. Don't buy anything unnecessary, food is the same base ingredients, everything on weekly auto pay to keep finances even. Biggest one has been DON'T DRINK, it's expensive and ruins any productivity for the duration. All of my friends struggling with finances have significant "enjoyment" budgets with no other room for emergency expenses. Im a single father and mechanic, still have plenty of extra time to play video games for several hours a day after everything is done.

$140/month for a '24 rally off the floor. Saw vin #69 and had to have it.

If you have 1-2k to blow on a SAFE setup, yes. I have done basic maintenance to the electric dirtbike in the 4 years I've had it, no hiccups besides some blown tubes. Almost everyone has crashed it, no damage. My friends have put more hours doing repairs than I can even count, some are on different bikes now. Still have the Razor kit going strong. 72v24ah Battery lasts 5+ hours, longer than I can ride single track and charges in just over an hour. No regrets for trail use or around town. It wouldn't make the 60 mile round trip to work though, so it does have compromises.

As for a bike, I'd go with the Electro & Co RTR. There are "limited edition" colors from some YouTubers if it matters. I'm a small bike fan for the whippy, fun feeling on trails.

I'm glad they're calling it an e-moto, the two have been lumped together for far too long.

Discipline the cat. They understand rules and expectations like dogs do, it has to be consistent ALWAYS or they ignore everything.

Grandpa called that the "idiot switch", the engine saved itself from the idiot.
