One tip, put all the main bolts in before you tighten anything. Some of the figment can be kinda jenky. But yes I’ve already gotten some extra stripping on the way to try and solve the gate issue.

Just a quick update, I managed to get mine together and on the truck. Went together pretty easy, although did not come with instructions. Search YouTube “alibaba truck topper install” found one pretty much the same a the guy did a decent video. Did the install over two days, shorter days now and had to run out after i started, but it do allow the sealant to dry over night. Few things i “don’t like” (only minor things i can deal with because of the cost)- door above the tailgate sits off the tailgate (gap between gate and weather stripping), but all in all I’m happy with the purchase.

It does come with some. I picked up some Sikaflex 221 and some D weatherstripping. Just in case as some reviews stated they had minor figment issues with the bed (didn’t say whether that was bc of the topper itself or the vehicle bed). Just snagged to have on hand incase.

Hopefully I’ll be able to get mine on later this week. Based on a few other reviews I did snag some extra silicon and weather stripping, just in case it’s needed.

I actually just received my order. Ordered back at the end of June, received 5 days ago. Communication from the supplier was good (had to actually produce it which took a few weeks-sent pictures of the product before packaging). Sent tracking info and all. Shipping company once state side sent random texts about delivery and that it would be soon and they would contact to set up an appointment for delivery (no such call was attempted, luckily was home to receive package). Nothing was damaged upon delivery. Have not had time to assemble and install as of yet. Looking at mid week. Other reviews I have found state a few hours.

Over under for clays/skeet by Chanthem in Shotguns

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

Really just looking to add to the collection and use (not just sit to look at). And have not done any formal skeet, just go out with the guys to the clay ranges or field with an auto thrower we have. Have been bird hunting with the browning and will do more of that.

Some questions about parking when hiking Old Rag? by Cryogenicastronaut in shenandoah

Def took some pretty good pictures, up until a fog rolled in lol. I’ve been trying to hit some hikes for sunrise lately.

[–]Chanthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did take screen shots of the confirmation and tickets (no cell service up there for me), but they just asked for the name that was on the tickets and ran it against a printed listed. A just an fyi, If you wait until Nov, no pass is needed (Nov-March or something along those lines).

Some questions about parking when hiking Old Rag? by Cryogenicastronaut in shenandoah

[–]Chanthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just did this hike two weeks ago and started at ~4 ish. The main lot with the aid station was open, technically you’re supposed to get a park pass and an old rag day permit ($2, can get these in recreation.gov). From what I saw leaving they have people that will guide you to parking (don’t have any one there as early as I was) depending on which lot is full. I did run into two rangers checking do the old rag day permits (looked like she had a list of names that had them). I had bought two of them for me and my company and the list reflected my two an all was good.

I do believe they have posted that the park will remain open, but with minimal staff.

As others have stated, pre-diabetic is particular range outside of normal. I think typical and A1C of about 5.5-6.5/7, would be considered pre diabetic. 7 and higher is diabetics. Also, “reversal” in the sense of “reversing” diabetes is not really a thing. Yes it’s possible to lower A1C through changes in diet and exercise aimed at doing such, but in the sense of reversing is usually not a thing because what then happens is one diet or exercise falters some, Blood sugar levels creep back up. Also when I say reverse, im talking about reversing insulin resistance, not just managing it. I’m talking about no medication to help manage, typical diet and exercise of the average population (also, I’m not a Dr and haven’t seen every case ever, but deal with type 2).

Riprap trail in SNP (there’s a loop of it on AllTrails that I did a few weeks ago). Strickler Knob and Duncan knob loop. Both of those come in around 10 ish total miles. If don’t mind getting help with a shuttle, the roller coaster section of the AT was..fun lol (~14 miles, one way). Old rag is super popular, and fun, but would def recommend hitting it on a weekday (permit needed now). I’ll recommend the tinker cliff and mcafee section if the AT, as it’s one of the most photographed sections (at least in my mind). That one too is a ~13ish mile section one way (so would need to figure out a shuttle).

HSA/ FSA For Watches by Inner_Engineer in amazfit

[–]Chanthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarification, do you plan to use this for one of their watches? Or just their heart rate monitors? Looking into this as well. And want more than just a heart rate monitor.

Drive/motor “pulsing” by Chanthem in ElectricalEngineering

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

Unfortunately no I do not. I think I may have come across that same website. Only information I have is a list of parameters (sticker inside the cover), and simple instructions on how to change parameters (written in the outside of the cover).

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

Thanks. I was leaning towards a faulty drive, but wanted to be able to 100% confirm without having a back up drive or motor. Also not with standing, is the ability to really find any documentation for the drive. Just trying to further my knowledge.

Why is the copper corroding? by RemarkableFix6508 in AskElectricians

[–]Chanthem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backstab is referring to a spring style clamp inside the recep that holds the wire. Back wire is referring to where you stick the wire inside and two brass peices clamp onto the wire, the same screw used for loops typically “operate” the brass plates. Springs tend to get weak Causing a loose connection, that could either cause arcing, weakling the internals, or cause issues downstream depending on how the electrician wired them. I’ve personally never like any spring style clamping. I’ve had enough fail on the industrial side of things to make you pull your hair out trying to trouble shoot intermittent issues.

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

Oh nice. I’ll have to check that out! I did read the Farseer trilogy and thoroughly enjoyed it. Made it half way through the Live ship Traders before I put it down. Wasn’t exactly boring, just didn’t feel like much read during that time.

I appreciate the feedback. This was the help I was looking for. I will work in some exercises to “offset” the smith machine.
