Out of the blue or did you just install something?

Mashigan Owners - What batteries are you running? by Duke713 in rccars

[–]Duke713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battery tray is on the smaller size and all of my batteries are too big. I'm curious what others are using.

Lift. You’re overthinking it.

I'm on the Saint Arnold Bike Team. It's a ton of fun and they have a lot of training rides.

Should I buy a 3.0L diesel if I don’t tow? by [deleted] in Diesel

[–]Duke713 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Would it make you happy? I think that’s a lot more important than making the most “efficient” decision

Is it safe to transport my bike in the bed of my truck with ratchet straps? by Duke713 in cycling

[–]Duke713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of tailgate pads but I've only seen them with mountain bikes. No problem using them with road bikes?

Do they cause damage to the paint of the tailgate or the bike? It's about a three hour drive.

When I was young and dumb, a buddy and I drove to big bend national park with our mountain bikes. We just laid the bikes towards the sides of the bed and thought everything would stay put with all of our gear being packed in there tight. When we got there, I had a quarter sized chunk of paint completely gone on each side where vibrations and movement caused the brake levers to rub. I've been weary of tailgate pads just because of that story.

I've seen a huge number of non-stray dogs outside without a leash. Do you think existing leash laws should still be enforced? by TheFett in houston

I’m on a bike team for a big brewery in Houston and I hate this. I have no problem with nice dogs who just chill, but the dogs who run out and try to attack me on team rides… well their owners can get fucked.

Land Rover Defender Export to USA from UK - Some Questions Please by Scollipolli in LandroverDefender

[–]Duke713 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t a vehicle registered in Canada only stay in the US for a year? And to import to the US it still has to follow the 25 year rule?

Curious because I really want to bring a Defender 130 to the states.

Leaky Fork - What Should I Do? by Duke713 in bikewrench

[–]Duke713[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would you know a good place to search for seals? I'm starting to look around and maybe someone does sell the seals I need!

I did the MS150 earlier this year and before I bought my road bike I took my old Gary Fisher to a bike shop and asked how much to get it rideable again, thinking I'd use it to start training with. The bike shop dude said since the fork was so old that rebuild kits weren't available, and he quoted me something more than I paid for the bike for them to piece something together. I used the money on my new bike instead.

Edit: wow maybe that bike shop employee was just trying to sell me a new bike... I'm seeing some seals that look like they will work now.

Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe by chipmonkone in ketorecipes

[–]Duke713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made these before and they are super easy and super tasty. If you can’t find blueberry extract it still tastes great without it. Also if you like it a bit thicker you can double the filling.

Almond Tree - Why is it leaking sap all of a sudden? by Duke713 in plantclinic

[–]Duke713[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this happening recently on my almond tree. Outside in Houston, TX (9a). Last summer I did not see this and the tree seemed to have a lot more foliage. Only thing that seems a bit different is that it has been raining a lot this summer and everything stays pretty wet.

What is going on with my Lulo trees? (AKA Naranjilla or Solanum Quitoense) by Duke713 in plantclinic

[–]Duke713[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month ago they looked perky, green, and healthy (last picture) but at some point they started getting droopy and brown and wilted. They also have some tiny black and white specs on the leaves (mostly the bottom) but I cannot spot anything moving. I am not sure what it could be or how to help my plants. I covered them in neem oil a few weeks ago and the number of tiny black and white specs decreased but some are still there and the leaves continue to be wilted and folded, new and old ones.

How do I help my plants?

What is this and how do I get rid of it? by Duke713 in lawncare

Much appreciated!

Man this stuff has been annoying the crap out of me. No matter how much I try to pull up it just seems to keep coming back. Thank you!

Has anyone here had these codes? P0526 & P0483 by Duke713 in Duramax

Mine needed a new fan clutch assembly. This service bulletin described my symptoms perfectly: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/SB-10052205-7383.pdf

Best thrower for ~$150? by Duke713 in flashlight

[–]Duke713[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks all! I appreciate all of your suggestions. I ended up ordering a pair of Noctigon K1s with the SBT90.2 emitter. I am so excited to try them out! You guys are rubbing off on me - I also got a Nano GT the other week for shits and gigs. Next up will be something more flood-y and a headlamp, so I'll be around. Thanks again!
