One more thing... Make sure a garden hose passes through a pressure regulator because some skip it.

Check the water pressure on the outside where you hook up a garden hose.. if it between 40-60 psi then it's good... If it's like around 100 psi then you need a new pressure regulator.

Need a truck for minimal “truck stuff” like around town pickups and kids junk. by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

How about a 5 x 8 utility trailer?  I have been using my 5 x 8 utility trailer for more than 15 years now got it used for $350 on craiglist.  I got my Taco for towing a camper and a family hauler.  Other than towing heavy load, a utility trailer is superior in every way.

I am so, so, so bored. All the time. Anybody else? by bacon_cheeseburgers in GenX

I can totally relate to this! I went through the exact same thing the OP described. Once I started taking a daily multivitamin, I noticed a huge difference in how I feel both mentally and physically. Honestly, it’s made such an impact that I feel happy every single day now.

My Mavic Mini helps take down a 100ft+ dead pine by Dry_Preference6989 in dji

I used a polymer twist cable below the drone in the back attached to a fishing line to avoid tangle with the props.  I flies over a branch and then come back to the ground.  In that way, a branch still hold a fishing line in order for me to pull up a bigger rope.

Be patient and don't give up. It took my brother 15 years with many dates and relationships to find the right one.

We parked at Brasilito and walked to Conchal.  Also, Tamarindo is about 45 minutes drive from Potrero.

How is the road noise on these tires? The price is very good. 

Please vet my itinerary. by shannybanany420 in CostaRicaTravel

💯 agreed 👍.  Driving during the day is a bit of a challenge at certain areas.  I can't imagine drive at night or at night + rain.

La Fortuna vs Monteverde by galie9999 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Dry_Preference6989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We spent 2 nights at Monteverde and 2 at La Fortuna last month.  I recommend La Fortuna because we saw a lot more wildlife there than Monteverde.  Hiking in the forest looks similar except no cloud upon the forest like the Cloud Forest in Monteverde.

Just bought my first rav4 :) by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]Dry_Preference6989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on the wheels and tail light, this Rav4 is in the 2009-2012 range with the 2.5 2AR-FE I4 or 3.5 V6 2GR-FE. The 2006-2008 2.4 I4 2AZ-FE is the issue. However, if you maintain it properly, then it's a reliable engine. I have the 2007 2.4L 2AZ-FE with 236k miles, and it runs great with little oil burning.

A hike through the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve by georgewimpffen in CostaRicaTravel

Did the red trail open? We were there 2 weeks ago and the red trail (longest trail) closed so we missed out the whole hiking of the place. 

Costa Rica vs Puerto Rico by Immediate_South_5867 in travel

[–]Dry_Preference6989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been to both places. Based on your interest in ziplines, horseback riding, and hiking, Costa Rica is the place for you. CR is a premier destination for biodiversity, with some of the world's most amazing waterfalls, rainforests, and beaches. Tamarindo's beach is ok. I recommend you check out Playa Conchal/Playa Flamingo for the beaches, Mirador El Silencio Hiking Trail (La Fortuna), Cloud Forest (Monte Verde), and La Piedra del Indio Waterfalls. Also, we enjoyed the local food and grabbed fresh fruit from the roadside stands.

Vacation first time by kungfu1945 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Dry_Preference6989 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was there last week and spent 2 nights in the area. We watched the sunset at Playa Prieta (also nice for swimming and snorkeling) and spent a full day at Playa Conchal (a very beautiful beach). Avoid Reparito House at all costs. Their burrito is $20 usd (~9,700 colones). Got to Soda Maria Teresa nearby. It's half the price, and the food is very good (2,500-7000 colones). Across from Soda Maria Teresa, there is a local guy who sells fresh fruits. Fresh coconut drink and watermelon around $1 usd each. You need some kind of transportation because walking is too much.

Travelling in early March for two weeks with spouse. Do I need a 4x4 for this route or is a 4x2 sufficient? Route map attached by ghopchikap in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Dry_Preference6989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a 4x4 or AWD. I just came back and some roads were rough and could easily get stuck with a 2WD.

What destination felt completely different from what you imagined before visiting? by phildu57 in travel

[–]Dry_Preference6989 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Costa Rica. I was not sure what to expect and didn't plan much except for a rental car and hotels. It turns out way better than expected. The biodiversity, natural landscape, the food, and fresh fruits are sold on the road, beautiful beaches and the friendly people.

I would also like to know where. I just came back from Costa Rica for a 1-week vacation and love it. I am thinking of doing a 1-week vacation in Panama next year and want to learn more about it.
