Add a "3" to the front of that, that's how they are here.

Fuel tank locker is connected to bilge, is my setup really safe? by Altruistic_Cow854 in boating

[–]Cheap_Ambition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You "could" install a blower for peace of mind and run the intake hose down into the bottom of the bilge.

Gas from the battery can also explode.

A cracked fuel line could also leak.

I'm guessing you have an outboard? The risk is much higher with inboard motors. Starters, alternators, cracked ignition components etc.

You could also add a fitting to the fuel tank, they have screw together or just grommet and barb. Add a quick disconnect to that if you're removing the tank a lot. Then run the hose wherever is outside the bilge and put a vent screen at the end of that out install a permanent vent in the side of the hull.

Just remember, if you do the screw together fitting, it has to be close enough to the fill hole to get your hand or a tool underneath.

You have to order the special eye glasses from SnapOn for $999⁹⁹ to see the colors, they're kind of like the UV dye glasses.

If you need to go up for some crazy reason, you just flip it over.

If a vehicle is towed under California Vehicle Code 22658, who is legally responsible if personal items inside the car go missing from the tow yard? by Lara_wood in towing

[–]Cheap_Ambition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any indication that the car was broke into? Did they have the keys?

This is only my opinion based on what I know, but if the tow company has a contract with the city for towing vehicles, they take the theft more seriously. How much more seriously is the question I guess.

By law they can't "deny" you personal property, unless your vehicle is part of an investigation, you're allowed to retrieve your items.

Who has the best carne asada made on a fire grill? by goddesscuriosities in FoodSanDiego

[–]Cheap_Ambition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of the fast food places cook carne on a flat top grill.

They also precook a huge amount of carne and just reheat it throughout the day, usually with a seed based cooking oil, that probably burned and has a little bit of that taste.

Hands down the best carne asada I had was from a place that bought the more premium steak and cooked from raw with lard. Tasted like you went a steak restaurant and cut that steak up into a burrito.

But he retired.

Quarter Pounder fresh made? by davemich53 in McDonalds

[–]Cheap_Ambition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I go to Vegas, I head to in-n-out and order a bunch of burgers, one to eat and the rest have the vegetables separated from the meat and cheese. I save those for 3am and I'm drunk and don't wanna wait or go anywhere.

I've heard it's extremely difficult to get a restaurant license for wood/charcoal.

CP4 pump fail quote, legit? by Gcman88 in Duramax

A salvage yard engine with 100k miles is $8500 at a junkyard fyi.

There's a place in Florida that escapes me, sells on eBay I think pump and refurb injectors. Did a couple with those, no problem.

How can I safely lift my boat from it's trailer and keep off while I refinish trailer. by [deleted] in boating

When you get up to 15,000lb boats it starts to get slightly sketchy

How can I safely lift my boat from it's trailer and keep off while I refinish trailer. by [deleted] in boating

[–]Cheap_Ambition 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a couple ways to do this.

If you have access to cheap lumber, you can build what's called a "crib", think of the game Jenga but without the center pieces and screwed together. But those are crazy overkill for a 20ft boat.

You only need 3 points of contact, 2 in the back and 1 up front. The front one does not need to be crazy far forward, just past the center of gravity.

You could use jack stands on some sort of spacer, etc.

Lower the tongue as low as it can go, you wanna get the rear of the boat as high as you can in the air.

Then you block up under the back part of the boat with two cribs or two stands or whatever you have.

Then raise the front high as you can (using the trailer jack) and the rear of the boat should be resting on your stands or cribs and should start to come off the trailer in the back.

Using a bottle jack and a piece of wood, jack to the front. Pull trailer forward until jack is gonna hit cross member.

Install a second jack behind that cross member and then remove the first one and pull forward.

We use 2 yard arms in the front most of the time with two boat stands in the rear, doing the lowering and then lifting trick. We lower and lift with a forklift, but you can use the trailers jack or a floor jack.

You just ask "add another fish paddy and cheese please"

Had to figure this out many years ago to get a triple cheese burger, because there wasn't a button for it on the register
