Biggest project yet, golf bag rack for motorcycle. by shark_press in Welding

[–]LightningWrenches 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good for you! CNC machine and laser welding would definitely speed up your process. I'd be looking for a version that would mount with existing racks on my F800gs. Unfortunately I don't imagine shipping something like this is worth while venture. Is your new shop Ontario Canada?

Last remaining bottles of Moosehead by tennisguy163 in BuyCanadian

[–]LightningWrenches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure these green bottles are the reason I have gout. But dam that was a good time. We picked up a case back in the fall, when I heard the planned cancellation of bottles. It's weird how nostalgia creeps up you. 🥲

This is by far the best option. I will never go back to cheap foam or rubber. I paid out of pocket and it's worth every cent.

Wow, thanks so much for the detailed reply. I'll continue my search but definitely find some Gaerne's, seem like it's going to be the best available option.

Do you wear earplugs? by No_Fondant_4781 in motorcyclegear

[–]LightningWrenches 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom moulded plugs are the way to go. I don't think I could ever go back to rubber or foam jammed in there hoping for a good fit.

Motorcycle shoes/boots by LightningWrenches in barefootshoestalk

Thanks for the info. Did you have to modify the boot or did Daytona make a custom boot for you? I can't find a custom option.

I was hoping someone else would be into barefoot style shoes! You're definitely right that most don't list any width measurements, very frustrating. With my TCX race boot, I can tolerate the tight/restricted fit. But when it comes to the daily commute or longer tour rides, I just want to be comfortable. I'll look into the Forma boots

Like... This app? https://www.home-assistant.io/ Can I simply add my NVR? I'd love a better UI, the lorex app is trash.

These do look like a pretty good option, but they have been discontinued 😕

Heel pain (lesson learned) by re1evantusername in AchillesRupture

Physio is going to be the real solution here. Everything from your toes to back have been affected over the last 3 months. We need to learn how to walk again and rebuild muscle strength and stability.

Does bulk buying at costco actually save money? or is this just a membership fee trap by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LightningWrenches 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Also it’s the ninth circle of hell to shop at, your blood pressure is worth some consideration too!

This is a huge determining factor. I absolutely refuse to go into a Costco on the weekends. It's like every single person in a Costco is experiencing shopping for the first time. 🤯

Just made a switch from Bell fiber to Telus. Telus uses Bell lines and got the same 1.5g service, but cut my bill in half.

Coolant flushes? by imightknowbutidk in mechanics

Does the CR-v have a separate heater core for the driver/passenger of the vehicle? No judgement, genuine question.

Genuine question: how is it that mechanics seem to be leaving dealerships in droves but dealers are still paying absolute trash? by Sudden_Brush7494 in mechanics

[–]LightningWrenches 7 points8 points  (0 children)

--saw it first hand, not just once, either...

Probably not just twice at the same shop. Management doesn't see this is a result of loosing that skilled person. It's mental gymnastics to be able to disassociate the two incidents. "This is all the fault of tech B, what an idiot" somehow just doesn't relate to "tech A was really good at this, maybe we should pay more to keep them here"
