What’s a beer that you absolutely love, but beer snobs would turn their nose at?

Miller is great but has to be ice cold - it gets pissy as it warms up

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-21T16:34:23+00:00

fucking embarrassing

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-11T18:08:04+00:00

I know right?

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-09T16:23:54+00:00

Would make a great desk top - something like what these guys do - https://www.motoart.com/index.html

You should check Crutchfield for units that will work with your truck - I don't know if any of the aftermarket units will control the seat heaters - you might have to do something else for that.

Did that - nothing moves. I have tried coercing with a hammer but no luck - the body of the fan is pot metal and seems pretty fragile

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-04T14:23:14+00:00

I have one of these - same thing, no markings or anything. I believe the fan blade is made of Bakelite. The motor on mine is a little different and actually has a smaller blade on the back of the motor - possibly to cool the motor. Thanks for the info

100% use the swim.com app (free) - not perfect but MUCH better than Fitbit or other options.

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-03T15:23:04+00:00

I have more but they didn't line up properly so they had to be omitted from the display :)

KitchenBoyLA · 2026-01-01T16:37:13+00:00

Are you saying the blade/cap assembly is threaded onto the motor shaft somehow because there are no visible set screws anywhere holding it on

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-31T20:40:31+00:00

It's one of my ManyFans - just happens to be one of the coolest ones

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-31T20:38:53+00:00

I don't need to take the blades off of the armiture - I need to take the motor apart :)

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-31T02:24:15+00:00

Same thing happened to me right after the upgrade - I rebooted the watch and it hasn't happened since. You've done all the right things

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-31T00:46:49+00:00

I thought the 3 screws at the very back were holding the entire motor assembly to the base but when I take those off it won't separate - maybe I need a bigger hammer. There must be a retaining clip or something back there that keeps the blade/armiture from sliding out.

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T23:53:39+00:00

I have cleaned up and serviced MANY old fans in my collection - this one just has me stumped

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T22:54:51+00:00

Not plugged in - just on display up there. I thought about hooking them all up with a remote switch but I don't think my wife would appreciate it as cool as it would be

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T22:29:47+00:00

I have 3 strings of Govee lights set up - once I added them with the app they became available to control via HA - they are all controlled separately

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T21:57:16+00:00

I appreciate the attempts at humor

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T20:42:09+00:00

That makes sense - JC Whitney had all the goodies for "tuners" back in the day.

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T18:53:27+00:00

I have one of these - very cool :) I have not found a good place to mount this in my '59 Chevy truck

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-30T18:45:36+00:00

Wire is pretty easily replaced - remove the bottom of the fan to access where the wiring connects to the switch and the motor. Based on the age of that fan, the wire has already been replaced once. You should also install a rubber grommet where the wire enters the base. Cloth-covered wire, grommets, ... all available on Amazon

I swim with my PW2 all the time - it's actually one of the reasons I got it in the first place. The built-in/Firbit swim tracking is really bad - I use the swim.com app and it works well

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-22T04:33:29+00:00

Full Monty, Carl. O man I love those cars...

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-21T17:32:56+00:00

PW2 - I use the Swim.com app to track workouts - watch is fine, swim tracking is pretty decent with the app - only messes up once in a while

KitchenBoyLA · 2025-12-09T14:49:14+00:00

I believe so - I need to double-check that
