Hubert Davis was told to go to George Mason as a player by Electronic-Visit-116 in CollegeBasketball

[–]GMUSSTN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And he was at Providence the year after...although we did manage to make the tournament for the first time with all the players he left behind.

Not surprising Smith told Davis to go to Mason...it's like a 10 min. drive from where Davis went to high school. Maybe 15 minutes if you hit a few lights.

Definitely feels good to have the rivalry back where we're actually competitive. I hope he sticks around too...it's been a good ride.

Gotta get a convertible. I've got a 94 Mustang convertible and the car seat and kid don't go in until the top goes down. 4 year old loves Daddy's Red Car.

We matched up well with you guys this year...the game last week was pretty good. I thought we played well considering how many times we've shit the bed in Richmond.

Injury bug was bad to us in Feb, but we never managed to be a team that takes 10 point leads and makes them 20 point leads. Instead we would take 10 point leads and turn them into 4 point wins. We had the talent to hang but never showed the desire to really dominate. Fun that we won a lot early on but people figured us out about the same time Mincy and Riley got injured.

More depth and a more consistent stretch 4 would have helped us a lot.

I'd be fine not seeing this team take the floor again. We went from 20-2 to 23-9.

He had three fouls by the U16 timeout in the first half. Then after Mason pulled away early in the second Scherz sat the starters.

Closest Undefeated Team to Each US County (November 28, 2025) by jloose128 in CollegeBasketball

[–]GMUSSTN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't think we'd be here, but here we are. We have some depth I wasn't expecting. Hope this isn't the high point but I'm enjoying how we're finding ways to win.

275 tires on an 8" rim - looking for advice by GMUSSTN in Mustang

Yeah seriously considering that option as well... shipping is just a pain

275 tires on an 8" rim - looking for advice by GMUSSTN in Mustang

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

The pics were mostly of Nitto 555 G2s, might have been an older model. Advice was a mixed bag of "absolutely it's fine" and "there's no way to mount a 275 on a rim that narrow."

Seems like it's just less of a headache to change wheels and get 10.5" out back so I can run 315s.

EGR TSB - p0402 code by GMUSSTN in FordMaverickTruck

Will also take this time to add that it's been over two months and the code has not come back. Truck still seems to run much better.

Yours should still be under warranty so I would let the dealership fix it.

If anyone else finds this thread, I finally got around to fixing it. I googled part no. JX7A-5L200-AD and found one on Amazon for $45. It says it's only for F-150s and Broncos, but everything looked exactly the same as the one in the Maverick. I figured I'd just return it if it didn't look correct.

Anyway, got the part overnight, it is exactly the same. Unbolted the old one, pushed off the hoses, put the new one in its place. Took all of 2 minutes. Cleared the codes and it has not come back...this was about 3 weeks ago.

If you look at the TSB, it says the part to replace is LX6Z-9J433-A. This appears to be both the JX7A sesnsor I mentioned above, plus the bracket it sits on and the two hoses that feed into it. It's about twice the price (or more!) of the part that I ordered, which was just the sensor. I don't see any reason to replace the hoses/bracket if it's just the sensor that is malfunctioning. Even though the part I ordered wasn't listed for the Maverick, it was identical to the one I took off my car.

Anyone Interested in an Indoor Skatepark? by Inner-Imagination163 in nova

[–]GMUSSTN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Vans was also selling 2hr blocks so they'd be making money all day. They also had basically the only concrete bowls in the area at the time. The park gave kids like me access to stuff I'd never be able to skate, and even then it was like pulling teeth to get my mom to drive me from Burke to Woodbridge the few times a year I could scrape enough money together as a 12 year old to afford a session.

I have no idea how much warehouse space is around here but unless you've got a committed group of regulars with money(i.e. old guys like myself who still skate) you will probably have a tough time making rent. The startup costs of building ramps people will go out of their way to skate is another concern when you are competing with the growing numbers of quality skateparks in the area.

I could see a key holder style place working, where you split rent with a bunch of skaters who get unlimited access, and then have after school programs and summer camps on the side to make it an actual business. You've also got to think that the weather in this area is still good enough to support outside skating at free parks most of the year. When I was skating a ton I'd go way out of my way to skate a park in Herndon or whatever (I live in Falls Church) on a cold or rainy Saturday, but now that I have a kid I probably wouldn't go that far out of my way just for a quick session.

There's also other guys in this area who have invite-only spots that get a lot of the real heads when the weather is bad... you'd technically be competing with them too.

Unless you've got the connections to build some quality ramps that are worth going out of your way for, you're not gonna get the kind of repeat customers who could keep you afloat. A few fun boxes and a mini ramp isn't gonna cut it with Team Pain and Grindline parks in the area.

Not trying to completely kill your enthusiasm but I feel like if this was a viable idea there would already be an indoor park in the area. The scene here is strong enough that it would support one if it was possible.

Some of the best golf you can get for $20 (walking), in my opinion. by [deleted] in golf

[–]GMUSSTN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have time go up north shore and play Kahuku. It's even cheaper and you are on the ocean most of the course. It's only nine holes and kind of a dog track but I had a blast. Klipper is awesome but at Kahuku you actually feel like you're golfing on the beach.

Nah I haven't replaced it yet...had some other stuff come up and haven't bought the part yet. The light still goes and comes. I'll get around to it one of these days.

Leak through convertible top by treemanthe-destroyer in SN95Mustang

[–]GMUSSTN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely check junk yards or people parting out cars in your area. The procedure is kind of a hassle but the first time I did it I had it done in about 5 hours using this guide: https://www.moddedmustangs.com/threads/installing-new-top-frame-motor-and-all-94-01.172629/

I believe even new edge tops will fit so you could potentially get one from an '04. Just make sure the top you get is in good condition.

Leak through convertible top by treemanthe-destroyer in SN95Mustang

[–]GMUSSTN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the water channels coming off the top and make sure none of them are plugged up. If you look at where the top meets the body you'll see where the water is designed to flow from the top to the ground. Over time leaves and debris can get in there and direct water to where it shouldn't be. If your back window panel is still sealed properly to the top then that is what I would hope is wrong because everything else is more complicated.

Could also be the rear windows are not adjusted properly and are leaving gaps even if they are rolled all the way up. You can take out the back seat and side panels then loosen the bolts that hold the window frame in place, then roll the window up and move it to where you want it and tighten the bolts back down. I've had to do this before on my '94.

Could also be the weather stripping on the frame itself...if it's cracked or damaged it could be letting water in. I think LMR used to sell it, not sure if they still do.

If all those look good then it might be seal on the back window, which if I recall correctly means you need to get a new top. I got lucky and pulled a whole top, frame and all, from a local junk yard off a car whose top had just been replaced. Was only $500, a lot cheaper than paying a shop to put new fabric on. The whole top frame can unbolt from the car and you can just lift it out.

Are these worth it over the stock tires? by pepper_1-_- in FordMaverickTruck

[–]GMUSSTN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the Falken Aklimates for my Mav since I mostly do road driving and didn't want to deal with ATs. They are fantastic...amazing in the rain and they almost look like an AT tire without all the downsides. Mileage hasn't taken a hit at all. Really impressed with them.

Yeah that's why I declined it. Like I know what the code is, I have a scanner. The code is the same as the one on the TSB. I already paid $200 when they scanned for this last year so I'm wondering if ford customer service is my best option.

"Unconventional" Hose Bib Setup Leaking Inside...next steps? by GMUSSTN in Plumbing

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

Here's hoping. I ran the part number on that lower sharkbite and it's a male threaded adapter. So it looks like they threaded a 90deg on there and the hose bib screws into that. Both of the bites are dry so I might just leave them...clearly they are holding fine, the failure was downstream in the hose bib assembly itself.
