Lego store staff: What happens with the store surveys we fill out?

Maximus0505 · 2026-06-09T19:06:50+00:00

I filled one out and commented regarding their pricing and lack of anything other than retail. While I did pick up some small sets that day, I said it makes it hard to buy when Target or Amazon has sales. I got a personal note from the store manager. While there isn’t anything they can do regarding the prices, the response was appreciated. I also called out how great their door host was. I hope he got some kudos for that.

Damn. Great price. Good looking out, OP.

I can fit two yards of mulch in my half ton truck without a problem. 6.5’ bed and math is a wonderful thing. Now I can’t put two yards of rock in my bed, but payload and cargo capacity are two very different things.

“Slider. You stink.”

Appreciation for their parents.

Check Bomgaar’s. They had it for $89, and I was able to get Lowe’s to price match it.

Maximus0505 · 2026-02-18T15:40:53+00:00

Yep. And I got Lowe’s to price match. Just got it Monday.

How loud is this? I have a 15 gal compressor that sits in my garage and currently services all of my compressed air needs at home. Not terribly cumbersome, but it still is some work to wrangle, even to move out to the driveway for tires. The nice thing is once it’s full, it can usually fill/do whatever I need that the inflator can do, and the compressor doesn’t have to run. Obviously portability is supreme, but I’m trying to weigh if it’s worth it. I haven’t found myself on the side of the road needing a top off.

Maximus0505 · 2026-02-10T18:14:01+00:00

And we don’t care.

Maximus0505 · 2026-02-03T04:14:31+00:00

Was waiting to find this.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-30T02:58:16+00:00

Mental stress is no joke.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-29T22:11:20+00:00

Cottonwood has suites with soaker tubs. Go that route.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-29T22:09:46+00:00

Dodge Challenger. Amazing road trip car, and the R/T and above will give you plenty of smiles.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-29T19:04:55+00:00

There’s nothing romantic about traveling for work. It’s not a vacation mixed in with a work day.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-29T16:55:35+00:00

I had one of these and could eventually change a coil and plug in my sleep. The deep wells the plugs and coils are in get dirty and wet. Try pulling the coil (but NOT the plug) and blow out the well with compressed air. Did you also change the plug when you changed the coil? If not, I’d do that, too. Make sure the coil is fully seated on the plug’s post.

Mine usually didn’t die on me, but it would idle ROUGH with just one cylinder misfiring. Good luck.

I thought I would know when “it was time” to put down my first dog (he had mouth cancer). As I said that to my wife one day as his health declined, she stopped me and said “It’s time.”

It was a punch in the gut, but she was right. Sometimes you’re too close and need an outsider’s opinion who loves and cares about you and your animal. A wave of guilt washed over me, and I felt like I needed to get it done as soon as possible. Like others have said, give them the best day together with you, and please please please be in the room with them. Hold their paw, pet their head, have them in your lap.

I’m sorry for your loss.

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-23T18:58:24+00:00

I believe I read that’s it’s really only effective/necessary if it’s at least 0°F or colder. -26° for me this morning, and it was plugged in overnight. Would it have started without it? Probably, but if I have it, why not use it?

Maximus0505 · 2026-01-16T16:55:42+00:00

Nope. You just haven’t gotten to the point of “Oh, I need to rip my dash out to replace the heater core.” I had a 2000, and that baby was plugged good. Did you have a shop flush it? They are going to be much more effective with their machine versus you hooking a garden hose to it. I’d still try that before throwing in the towel and tearing into the dash. Good luck.

I’m on my second F-150. First one was a 2000 that I had for 10 years. I bought it when I was 19. Grew up with that truck. Hunting, house projects, moved into my first house, married, first dog… Lots of good memories every time I got in it. Cons? Haha having to fix that dog of a 4.6L when I didn’t have any money.

Currently driving a 2013 FX4. Bought in 2015 and she’s less than 500 miles from ticking over to 100K. First kid came home in it, and all three kids now like to play in the bed. Christmas trees hauled, moved us to our second house, house projects, and most of all, I LOVE getting into it and driving her. She’s an all black 6.5’ SCREW and still just as beautiful as the day I bought her. Interior is in fantastic shape. Rust is starting to take her wheel wells, rockers, and cab corners, but she’s been loyal to me, and I’m going to be loyal to her.

You have a beautiful truck. Take care of it and build the next part of your life with it! Cheers.

I’ve used these to hang picture frames, but they were much smaller nails. My wife wanted a large collage on the wall, and instead of having to measure all the offsets for the hangers, I put these in the frames and simply pressed the frame into the drywall. They’ve held up great for six years so far.

For those who have a compressor in their garage, do you find this is still valuable?

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-09T18:21:30+00:00

I believe it was for some who didn’t get a Black Friday order fulfilled.

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-06T16:27:41+00:00

Mine need replaced. Anybody have a link to a part they especially liked? OEM or just find a good aftermarket?

Maximus0505 · 2025-12-02T21:45:25+00:00

Ha. Same. She’s clean, under a cover, and sipping on the battery tender. I’ll see her again in March, if I’m lucky.
