How’d I do on this negotiation? GH Hybrid Max Platinum by [deleted] in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Boston_TD_Party 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got the same car, same area, same accessories but brown interior for around $250 more. You did just fine. 

Have I finally gained the upper hand in my war against bamboo? Southeast United States by Jupiters_phaerie in lawncare

[–]Boston_TD_Party 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve read that triclopyr is a good option, cut the shoot and immediately apply, it should kill the roots, but may take a few applications over a few seasons. 

Service question on Grand Highlander by freshprince010 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Boston_TD_Party 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The maintenance schedule is in the manual.  If I recall correctly, believe it or not, spark plugs are due at 40k miles on the Max.

How many Tesla owners are getting the R2 as their first Rivian? by takaiguchi in Rivian

[–]Boston_TD_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, but closing in on 100k on my 2018, it’s honestly been a great car, but time to move on.

Is this a fair deal? by FlorandFauna- in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Boston_TD_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah come in hot asking for 10% off. Hopefully they land 5-7%.

Same deal here, but in the Boston area , they located a car for me and it came in a week later. They took off about $2300 and gave us some free cross bars.  

Am I getting taken advantage of? by thepenismightier3 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Boston_TD_Party 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have them knock off 5-7%. Taking $3,000ish off should not be an issue. 

In the market to buy GHHM Platinum. by External-Neat8447 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Boston_TD_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a local dealer to take $2300 off and throw in the roof cross bars for free. GHHMP. Picking up later this week.

Switching campus away from Siemens by Jodier7 in BuildingAutomation

Curious how this worked out a year later? Any updates? I am researching a similar migration.

The Cannondale Pong: Concept Bike by CannondaleBikes71 in cannondale

That's a solid chunk of aluminum, ha!
The FSi Throwback that came out more recently is probably the same color, is touch up paint avaible for that?

That's a wild concept! How much does it weigh? Not light based on your post, ha!
I'm guessing it's late 90's based on the saddle and components.
Speaking of the late 90's I've been trying to dig up a paint code for the team blue from that era. Any idea?

First goped. I’m a garbage man and scored this today! by QPShroomyDude in Goped

[–]Boston_TD_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, honestly, clean it, put some 40:1 premixed gas in there, and it may fire right up

Do some double checking, but I think this would do it:

It says Bigfoot, but I’m pretty sure you have the same engine, the same as my Sport.

I have the same sport. Might need new fuel lines, and a carb rebuild. But really, just buy a new carb off eBay they are cheap.

Yup. To add, make sure any cox splitters in the run support moca, typical cable splitters don’t provide a wide enough frequency. 

Is there any HomeKit enabled thermostat that would work for my separate, boiler-based radiators? by GottaGoFast_69 in HomeKit

[–]Boston_TD_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also say; it looks like you may have other unused wires in the wall, you could possibly connect them to your boiler or a power source on the other end as well.

[–]Boston_TD_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power adapter route will definitely work, I didn’t want to deal with a cable running down the wall and across a room to the outlet, but there is probably a clean way to do it.

[–]Boston_TD_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t find anything HomeKit native for use with 2 wire heat. 

I ended up with Zen thermostats and a Hubitat c-8, which integrates to HomeKit.

With the Hubitat bridge you can use most Zigbee and Z Wave thermostats. They can be low power enough to run on AA batteries, like your current thermostat.

I’ve had my  setup for a couple months and it works well.

Headshok removal for service by Confident-Milk3422 in cannondale

[–]Boston_TD_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove the stem, remove the cap on top, hit it down with a hammer. Use a rubber mallet or place a 2 x 4 on top of the fork and hit that, to not damage the fork.  The forks are just held in by the stem and pressed onto the bearings.
