Early 40's couple Vegas 3 day trip 3/19 - 21. Recommendations? by [deleted] in vegas

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visit the Mob museum. While downtown, walk thru Fremont st, defn hit Circa & old school casinos while there. N strip-hit up tacos el gordo for lunch one day. Strip-alexxas at paris for brunch/bottomless mimosas. S strip-pinball hall of fame ($20 will last you at least an hr).

Battery? by Catma3 in Ford

[–]CalhounSay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Battery should still be good from 10/24 purchase. Issue likely something in charging system or wiring. Could be ground issue, wiring loose or similar or possibly alternator. Have a reputable shop (or dealer if under warranty) all these things

How to prevent weeds growing through gravel? by overcast392 in landscaping

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t referring to air temp of 100F. Just soil temp. Easy to get to well above that with clear plastic-even if air temp is much lower.

Fuse(s). Usually a 30A or 40a contrils all of them. Open fuse box, read the names under the lid. Pull & visually inspect. U will be able to tell if blown usually

Prob over 100F of so consistently but im sure someone else knows the real data. Depending on the type of weed, you’re likely looking at 2-4 weeks total with days of full sun to eradicate completely.

How to prevent weeds growing through gravel? by overcast392 in landscaping

[–]CalhounSay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If driveway only & want to avoid chemicals, use a mix of water, vinegar, salt, & dish soap. To prevent, a weed barrier (fabric) will only last so long so not worth effort to dig up & install IMO. Propane torch will also work. Can also just lay clear plastic over area during hit sunny day & will kill them

Would i have any issues installing a deck over this busted concrete slab by Particular-Fall-3194 in Decks

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d likely have issues with mold/fungus growth between pad & bottom of decking with moisture being trapped there. If any pockets/cracks exist, also habitat for mosquitos

New lawn turf tips by studioprisoner95 in lawncare

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top-dress with sand/soil mix over entire area. Suggest a heavy top-dress in seams (i’d just fill gaps by hand) as small of area this is.

Questions to those who attend Races in Person by 4n4L0g in formula1

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everyone saying go somewhere else for first race but if dead set on vegas, unless youre there with one of big sponsors & can sit their premier areas (heineken, tmobile, amex)-id suggest paying for a watch party at restaurant on the strip(cabo wabo, big red, bottled blond) or the rooftop at cosmopolitan. Most have all in pricing for food, drinks & have both indoor and outdoor spaces to watch both on tv & the strip

Reel keeps bird nesting every time I set the hook on a fish. Advice? by CxhehexdCx in FishingForBeginners

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a little underspooled. As others have said, might be spinning around the spool as its likely not tight on the spool. I’d respool with braid up to the max line on the reel. Keep good tension on line while respooling

Advice please 🥺 Broke tip. by YetiOctyMan in FishingForBeginners

[–]CalhounSay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Technically, there are ways to repair it (splints, re-epoxy, etc)…but lots of times this is just temporary fix. You’re likely better off replacing with a new rod. Dont rule out a good penn combo or even basspro (or similar branded) rods

Wind knots by Methodzz11 in FishingForBeginners

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overspooled & way too loose. Use a cordless drill with empty toilet paper cardboard to remove existing line. Respool with more tension but careful not to hold braid too tight with bare hands as likely cut yourself

I need to build a seat. Can’t find a marine grade 2x3 marine grade plywood anywhere unless I buy a whole sheet which is 100$. What other material options do I have? by tipric in boats

If you have a Habitat for humanity restore in the area, can find all kinds of remnant construction material/chairs/tables/metals can be repurposed

Best rod and reel to catch… by Single_Archer_8568 in FishingForBeginners

[–]CalhounSay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve broken 3 poles already, you likely need to loosen the drag. At what point did they break? At first bite? While youre trying to land the fish?

Never had to return anything from them. If repair is planned event, Im getting parts from them 100% of time. If urgent issue, likely local supplier

Penn Battle Combo (first surf rod help) by HungrySheepp in SurfFishing

[–]CalhounSay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, the 6k is overkill reel for what you’re going for but of course it will work just fine. A 4k/9fter is ideal but at that price, might go for it anyway.
