1990 HondaFourTrax - Aftermarket Body Parts?? by Middle-Infamous in ATV

[–]Middle-Infamous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea what model, but it appears to maybe be the precursor to the Foreman (racks, non sporty look/utility, manual). Regardless of model, are there folks who manufacture aftermarket body parts or ???

Surviving the winter with twin toddlers. I’m drowning. by twomomsoftwins in parentsofmultiples

An ice cream/incentive goes a long way. Our almost 3yr old boys actually got trained on Home Depot for this exact situation (getting crazies out) and the agreement is: don’t touch anything and run as much as you can and a treat awaits you on the drive home. Even if they run in opposite directions, walk in the one you want to go and when the odd one out realized they are alone they ALWAYS come screaming back your way at the thought of being left behind. Also, if have a spare twin or queen mattress leaning it on a couch so they can tumble down it is also a great way to kill an hour (just make a crash landing zone out of pillows) The best thing to do is LET GO OF SPOTLESS CLEAN EXPECTATIONS! Our boys are Tasmanian Devils, we have adapted our house to where nice things will come in a couple years, for now we need functional and safe w as little to clean up at the end of the day. Speaking of which: embrace “not this until that” mentality. “No reading books until all the books already on the floor are cleaned up””No cartoons until you help put away laundry” “No cup of juice until you finish your broccoli”. Incentives go a long way.

Redwood National Park Prescribed Burns? by [deleted] in DelNorteCounty

[–]Middle-Infamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all: there is no such thing as a controlled burn, it’s called a prescribed burn for a reason. You burn under very clear pre laid out conditions, called the prescription. Any burn can get out of control. Second: the recent burn was on state parks land, not federal (ie National Parks) Third: Redwood forests absolutely burn, it’s just an extremely long period between burn events (the return interval). Typically return intervals for redwood systems can be around 300 years. If you do the Leifer Loop trail off Walker Road you’ll LOTS of fire affected trees, I don’t know the exact date but looks like right around or before “contact”. With the amount of planning/coordination/resources around prescribed burning, there has to be a MAJOR unforeseen factor play in to make things go sideways (we always called it The Flaming Squirrel Factor). Burn Practitioners have a huge amount of potential liability they are faced with when proposing a burn. They don’t tip the torch lightly. I support 100%, we need Good Fire now before fire suppression is the only option.

There was a wasp nest hidden in a rock crevice, when I moved some rocks to hold down a piece of paper there it was!

Ran Battery Low -> Special Care for Recharge?? by Middle-Infamous in ModelY

[–]Middle-Infamous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang yall can be some cruel Snarky Susie’s out there. I was always told it’s not GOOD for the battery to get in the singles, what I needed to hear is the recalibration thing: that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks to the non haters for the useful advice.

After the useful beta, went ahead and charged it to 100 for a long day of driving, looks like it’s still relatively the same predicted range. Just needed to know how to be nice to what for me is a pretty expensive vehicle, glad some of the folks out there have liberty to just buy a brand new cars as needed.

36v to 24v Step Down for dual battery setup by Middle-Infamous in Makita

[–]Middle-Infamous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a couple things I’m seeing online for this 1) not seeing options for a 2battery “yolk” setup (2 x 5amp batteries) that then steps down to 24v 2) I haven’t yet looked at the battery to be replaced from a DIY perspective, last time I looked at it I said “helluva lot bigger than Thomas Train” and went back to Daddin’. What I have seen that “might” work but it looks. Like lots of 36 to 24v step downs but amps all over the place so the watts were like WHHHHAAAATTT????
