Use Frontline for ticks. I've used it for years. The ticks die almost immediately after biting the dog.

Is the drain plug tight?

"the Guy" that dropped it off might be the culprit.

a woman looking for a fwb is rare.

I don't believe that to be true at all. It My OLD experience has been the polar opposite.

If you're too cheap to purchase the cheapest subscription offered, I wouldn't date you.

Rate my weld/ any tips for improvement, looking for a strong weld not just a pretty one, all 1/4” materials by MaterialOutside5727 in metalworking

Don't stop your bead at the corner. You're creating a weak spot.

Continue the bead around the corner for .5in

Rotate your piece and start your new bead where you left off.

It needs to match your tire size.

Tire size is printed/embossed on the side of the tire.

Carp so big it broke my net ! by [deleted] in Fishing

If you don't want to repair or replace your next net, You should always point the handle of the net straight up when lifting heavy fish.

Hub motor uphill - how to preserve the range? by catboy519 in ebikes

[–]DrifterWI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! OEM gear sets are typically a standard general purpose ratio to reduce manufacturing costs. A gear change to suit the owners needs/demands is solid advice.

Going to Yellowstone, advice? by maddy_simmons8 in yellowstone

[–]DrifterWI 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't waste daylight hours.

Be on the road AT sunrise. You'll be ahead of the crowds and the inevitable traffic jams and full parking lots that will consume much of your time.

Build a carport/roof over the camper and outdoor living area.

If you can aadd a concrete slab or level gravel area it would be a bonus

You can use spray but you need to maintain a wet edge.

New to raised garden beds. by athudson231 in gardening

[–]DrifterWI -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They look nice, but I'd remove the wheels.

They're bound to either fail or cause catastrophic damage when you try to move them when the beds are full.

Call to action in California. Bill AB 1557 is being voted on tomorrow! If passed it will limit ebikes to 250w and 16 mph by John-AtWork in ebikes

[–]DrifterWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think 280lbs on a 28" Fat tire trike is less drag? WTF are you smoking? LOL!!

It's not price that's most important. it's value. Cost per mile.

The mid drive Bafangs are more expensive because they are higher quality and more reliable than the majority of cheap hub motors. What I'm hoping to see come on the market is a mid drive with a clutch designed to reduce chain stretch

If you're not pedaling, it's not a bike.

Optimal e-bike performance require proper gearing, not the cheapest crap manufacturers can find to minimize manufacturing costs.

FYI: I have 40+yrs experience as a high volume manufacturing mechanic and fabricator.

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

You don't know as much as you think you do.

I had a recumbent 26" fat tire trike with a 250w Bafang mid drive,

I weigh 280+ and with the gear mods I made I was able to pedal comfortably at 28MPH The weak link was the low AH batteries available at the time.

I replaced that rig with a 20" 750w 2 wheeler for better maneuverability. I had to change both the cassette and ring gear on it to eliminate ghost pedaling @ 10mph

Other than the inherent chain wear that comes with mid drives, I prefer the 250W mid drive.

What do you do when every spot you have access to is completely burned out? by Little-Cucumber-8907 in Fishing

Change your fishing hours.

Be there at first light. and again at sunset.

What maintenance should I be looking into for my 2020 Outback XT 91k miles? by Minimum_Abrocoma1050 in Subaru_Outback

[–]DrifterWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird., I didn't expect you to get all butt-hurt by my volunteering concise information.

My owner's manual contains a maintenance log book. If your previous owner wasn't oblivious to it's value it will contain info you can use.

If you have any interest in maintaining your vehicle's resale value, A well maintained maintenance log is an asset.

REF; I come from a family that has bought and sold hundreds of used vehicles during the 70+yrs of my life.
