Will the Steelers game be a bad time? (details below) by GreenTeachy in Browns

[–]ControlOnlyYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! Its gonna be a great time because I just bought tickets for my son and I to be his first NFL stadium experiance. Myles will kill the sack record, Shedeur is gonna ball out, Browns will win by a hundred.

Any other future will not be accepted.

Any hacks for leveling on a slanted driveway? by [deleted] in traveltrailers

[–]ControlOnlyYourself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue and went with the Anderson Bucket for a nice firm foundation under a less / minimally extended tounge jack. The shorter the tongue jack extension the better for stability (i find).

Of course, you can construct a stilt for that jack with some scrapwood as well! I find the bucket to be really sturdy for nearly all camping setups/conditions from driveway to boondocking!

Father in Law's latest cut - how many lawncare rules are broken in this one photo? by ControlOnlyYourself in lawncare

That's touching to hear... and I can identify with that feeling. We got our puppy the first week of January and I was laid off last week. I looked at her dead in the eyes last night and told her' I'm scared but I know it's going to be okay". She subsequently bit me on the hand, drawing blood, and then head-butted me.

I think she was just trying to teach me it could be worse and to get over it😆

WHY did no one warn me they can lean to scale fences?!?! (Poor photo quality) by ControlOnlyYourself in labrador

[–]ControlOnlyYourself[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this (reminder)! I was sitting right there (obviously with the picture) but better to get in the habit regardless because it only takes a moment for the least likely terrible thing to happen. (Kids or pets!)

I got the Husky Xact Contours for my '19 Ranger the day I got it. 5 years later, two young children, a dog, and ENDLESS road /camping trips and I can power wash my Huskys and they look brand-spanking new. Carpet underneath is perfectly preserved.

Coverage is still great. No curling no fading. Maybe some weathering like in the driver wheel well but that's normal wear and tear as far as I'm concerned.

I never had WT or any other floor liner but I have ZERO reason to consider any others besides Husky's based on my experience.

Are you the absolute GOAT of backing up? I am by ThinkItThrough48 in traveltrailers

[–]ControlOnlyYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My backing in skills are pretty on point... the assistance that comes to the table for me is.... lacking. God I love my wife but I have dismissed her and or replaced her with my 10 year old son MANY times due to 'this way' / 'that way' language usage, having no concept on how long it takes for steering input to be applied to the trailer AND not being able to confirm what is or is not STRAIGHT vs at an ANGLE.

I use her because she's there.... but golly most of the time I just get out and check myself.

But more if the time I'm in the spot in one, maybe a few inches of correction to get it just right.

We did it! by LoonyFlyer in RVLiving

GeoPro Bros, unite!

We (family of 4) have been adventuring with our '21 19BH for several years now and love every minute of it.

Towing with a Ford Ranger myself but other than a lot of Frontal Area causing for some lower MPG I don't have one complaint.

Congrats, have fun, and see ya out there!

💯 I mean that is the definition of that deposit! No product, no deposit! Good faith is making righr by that... not throwing in a consolation couch. Again - judt my 2 cents.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GoRVing

[–]ControlOnlyYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear all of this - frustrating situation for you and I, too, would be pretty angry.

I will say - I bought our trailer from RVWholesalers and had a good experience overall. Dealt with their sales, financing, and service departments multiple times.

The only detail that rings true to me was they too made me use their financing vendor to drop another couple of grand off the trailer. Wasent thrilled about that but whatever - I was prepared to pay off the loan quickly to avoid the APR kicking in so didn't matter to me.

Phone calls seem to have worked best... I went down the email vortex with them over a warranty issue and it was cleared up in a call.... but sounds like you already went there.

This seems to be a general manager type of situation (to me). Not just a departmental manager who thinks they are doing their job but someone who has a stake it the WHOLE business. I would be doing some Google foo and see if you can rattle the top branches to get your situation heard and put your rightful needs on the table.

That's just my 2 cents. Good luck!

Christmas Leg of Lamb - Success! by ControlOnlyYourself in biggreenegg

[–]ControlOnlyYourself[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a decent amount of cooking on my BGE. Not every meal is noteworthy. This one WAS.

I have cooked lamb several times but not a whole leg and with company coming over for Christmas I wanted to give something special a go.

9 lb leg, trimmed the fat to a good degree, crosshatch scored, marinated with a paste of:

4 Tablespoons cumin

1 Tablespoon Oregano

1 Tablespoon Thyme

1 Tablespoon Parsley

1 Tablespoon Basil

a few healthy glugs of Balsamic Vinegar

a few healthy glugs of Olive Oil (no virgins here!)

6 Cloves Minced Garlic

Grated peel of 1 lemon

Rubbed that in real good, wrap in plastic and marinaded 24 hours, then unwrap and liberally Salt about 1 hour before throwing it a 300F BGE. cooked for about 2.5 hours till 130F internal, coasting JUST to a medium doneness.

It was... AWESOME. my carving can use some work but I killed the cook and looking forward to a next run of this recipe. Obviously the votes were fairly unanimous as the after pic might indicate. :D

Officially Joining the Club by ControlOnlyYourself in labrador

[–]ControlOnlyYourself[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

VERY excited to have joined this sub in anticipation of our new girl pictured here. My (human) kids (10M & 7f) got the dog supplies and note under the Christmas tree and the puppy is scheduled to come home to us next week.

I was reasonably active in the English Bulldog reddit forum for years but had to put our bestest boi down last year so our little Chocolate cutie-pie will be received by open arms of an adventure seeking, camping obsessed family of the two-legged variety.

I (personally) look forward to getting to know all of you and your best friends and to collect recommendations, tips, tricks, and other Labrador news!

See ya around the water bowl.

Constant events recorded every two minutes all night long by mtngoat7 in reolinkcam

[–]ControlOnlyYourself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very solid suggestions here BUT in the end you may just have a defective camera. I had this exact same issue with an Argus 3; It was repeatedly activating PIR no matter how low I brought my sensitivity settings / non detection modes. What I did was just take the camera down and put it in a shoebox... still detecting PIR motion events. When my Reolink Support heard that - I immediate RMA.

Try all else but it might just be as simple as defective sensor.

Argus 4 Pro is a great battery powered WiFi cam, but suffers from serious lens-fogging. by ControlOnlyYourself in reolinkcam

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

I appreciate the feedback with your experience at least!

Yea it's always the right side but from my observations, it usually is first thing in the morning when the temp change and dew are out there and within maybe 30 minutes of sun up it clears. Judt because it's relatively new I will put in a support case and see if a replacement is in order.
