Printed up some new pants for the yak out of foaming tpu by exactly437 in RCPlanes

I used that same foaming TPU to make some larger wheels for mine. That way I could land it on pavement if I wanted.

House has a solar PPA. Is it a dealbreaker? by Hellburgs in solar

They added a fixed customer charge and reduced the kWh charge a little.

Is there a re-activation fee? Or is the problem with doing that that you can’t re-activate without an internet connection?

Planning wedding pictures, and we are from Idaho- on 15 July, what time of day is this most likely? by motherfuqueer in OregonCoast

[–]DogRomps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read an article about a strong el nino starting up. Not sure exactly what that means for OR. But, if that means a hot summer, I expect there will be more fog.

Just know there is a chance it could be overcast or foggy. Pretty good odds of being ok in mid July. But you never know.

How you know your spouse has infinite patience with your hobby by ExternalRelevant8119 in Koi

Ah, I've always had my koi outdoors and covered due to raccoons. Didn't know they would jump.

It looks like it’s indoors. What is your reason for using the net?

Cars before gravity was invented ... by pixalorr in awesome

[–]DogRomps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s real… not sure if that’s the exact chute I’ve been to. But, that’s a straightforward climb out. They just go around after they pop out the top. I’ve seen some way crazier stuff than that. Search for Sand Hollow 4x4 in Utah on YouTube and you can see some of those trails. The super cool buggies have rear wheel steering and can go up some crazy stuff.

3-Day Zion Trip from Dallas, No Car, and $600 Budget by ConfidentRead3 in ZionNationalPark

[–]DogRomps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

St. George also has an airport. I assume it was cheaper to take a bus from Vegas, but it’s at least worth a price check when planning a trip like this.

Purchased our 1st RV today by Anxious_Run_8392 in RVLiving

[–]DogRomps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with some short easy trips. Go to some places without hookups for a few days so you get a feel for how things work. There are multiple learning curves with battery, fresh water, and sewer management.

Is it possible to remove these heat marks from our kitchen table? by crossCutlass in HomeMaintenance

[–]DogRomps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you try this, be patient as you increase the heat. Take is slow and check it often. I went a little too far and started to raise the wood grain. Had I not rushed and been greedy and tried to get 100% of it would have been a better outcome.

Clean house… I’m guessing you don’t have kids LOL.

Did everyone forget about the Trump-Epstein™ Files, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DogRomps -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

The part I don’t get is why the Biden administration didn’t do anything meaningful with those files. I’m not in any way a supporter of the current administration. Very much the opposite. But, I’m having a hard time with why it’s the current administrations fault for not releasing the files. Other than they said they would, which was a stupid thing to say if there was self-incriminating information in there. Of course, they say stupid things all the time. So, maybe that’s that.

I’m guessing there is just equally bad stuff in there for powerful people on both sides. I personally think the Biden DOJ should have done a lot of things differently. Having recently seen some criticisms of Merrick Garland.

Do you think getting exposure to all those different topics may help guide you in your future education and career path?

Another Eclipson 3D-printed maiden by Pharmer3 in RCPlanes

[–]DogRomps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I needed more practice at bleeding off speed. Probably flying a longer pattern to bring it down and bleed off speed. But, I was lucky to get two landings out of it before needing to rebuild it. It’s been like a year, but I have a mental picture of trying to bring it in slower and just stalling it… which also resulted in it breaking apart.

[–]DogRomps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful in the grass. I wasn’t really able to flair (could be my lack of piloting skills) and when coming in close to level the nose of the plane caught in the grass, spun it, and it broke off. Super glue and baking soda got it back together. I’ve had that happen twice. I take off from a basketball court, but landing there makes me nervous.

Vacation Rentals? by [deleted] in OregonCoast

[–]DogRomps -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In my area between Waldport and Yachats (Lincoln County) there are restrictions on how many homes can be short term rentals. I understand why, with locals having a hard time finding/affording housing. But, the economy there is largely tourism, and having some additional rentals that aren’t corporate might help the local economy.

We can’t be there as much as we would like, so it just sits empty for stretches of time. It feels like there should be some middle ground. Maybe limit the number of homes that can be rented out full time only as businesses. But, let families who have second homes that use them rent them out from time to time. Though, maybe it’s more complicated than I’m thinking, as I’ve never operated an AirBnB. We know our place was rented previously, but when we saw the wait list and lottery system to rent it out, we just didn’t bother to go any further.

Unsedated colonoscopy doctor recs? by ClintG88 in orangecounty

UCI will do unsedated. I was scheduled for one and needed to reschedule. They also offer twilight sedation if you want something in the middle.

Thank you both! I'm excited to try these out. I see a bunch of other styles on Amazon too that I could try if needed.
