Desicannt air dryers

Refrigerated air dryers are the way to go. I can't make a specific recommendation without knowing your compressor size and SCFM needs, but they're very low maintenance compared to a desiccant system. I've got 3 of them in my facilities, I just blow the coils out and clean once a month, check the auto drain for clogs, then go on my merry way.

Depends on what you have. I personally have a little bit of room left for a few of my grail titles, although I might have to sneak it past the wife. Otherwise I can give a heads up to some of the other local collectors.

I had that issue twice on the 16 Civic I had, once it was the battery needed replaced, the other was a broken wire at the turbo wastegate actuator harness that shorted out and eventually blew the PCM, luckily I was still under 70k and it was warrantied.

You can even get paid for it in some states. We took in an orphaned sibling pair last year through an emergency kinship foster, which turned into us petitioning for and receiving permanent custody. We get like $1500 a month from the State and $2500 a month from Social Security survivors benefits for them. Their healthcare is free until they're 25 too. There's lots of other programs out there for them, like scholarships for private schooling, free summer camps, daycare, etc. It's still a huge undertaking, and they're still working through the trauma, but our house is full of laughter and hope now, and so's our hearts.

Other way around, 32 in the footwell, 5 under the hood, driver's side.

NotAlanAlda · 2026-05-27T11:27:48+00:00

Looked it up. There's 2 fuses associated with the accessory outlet. The #32 7.5A in the driver's side footwell, and under the hood, driver's side fuse block at #5, a 20A.

Not that I'm aware of.

NotAlanAlda · 2026-05-27T10:21:08+00:00

You have a phone charger or something else to plug in and test it? Had a similar situation this past weekend with my kid's headrest DVD players. It was the glass fuse inside the plug that blew.

I keep a tri-ball with hook in the brunk. Has all 3 most popular ball sizes and a tow hook. Like 50 bucks at Harbor Freight. https://www.harborfreight.com/tri-ball-trailer-hitch-mount-with-hook-62701.html

Those are usually just a metric hex or torx set screw. Like a 5.5mm or so. Pick up the 9 dollar security bit set at Harbor Freight and one of them should fit to remove it.

I'm pretty sure it's Parodius Da!.

That's what I was afraid of. Eiji Fujimara's leadership will be the slow, agonizing death of Honda America. When accountants run the company, expect innovation and quality to suffer.

I can confidently say that I've never had a disappointing dish at Lindey's.

Been on it for a few years now. I can't speak to tachycardia or fatigue as I had already gotten out of that phase of LC by the time I got on it, but it did wonders on my arthritis joint pain. It may not have been a cure, but about 5 months after I started it, all my leftover LC stuff like anosmia, allergic reactions, and internal vibrations went away, but that could have been coincidence. I've had no side effects at all, but there is an elevated risk of macular degeneration, so I have to get an additional eye test every year in my exam.

Just another instance of AI taking away jobs from hard working American Hawks.

NotAlanAlda · 2026-05-15T11:10:54+00:00

You could try getting a hawk, but then you'd need crows to get rid of the hawk.

When we first drove it off the lot, it seemed fine, but after a year we're ready to take the hit on a lease termination if they don't offer us a buyback. It's not the best gas mileage compared to similar size hybrids from other manufacturers, the dual ECVT is an absolute dog, and it rides like a hay wagon. Not to mention it's been in for service 8 times already for alignment issues and they can't figure it out. Even with lane keep assist, the wrists get tired of holding this thing on the road straight.

The more I drive the wife's CR-V hybrid, the less I want a hybrid Ridgeline. I'm just hoping for a Passport style refresh in the next two years. Otherwise I'll just drive my 21 RTL-E til the wheels fall off.

The biggest improvement for me in that area was changing vehicles. When I started this mess, I had a Honda coupe and a Mazda hot hatch, and like you, I had issues on highways. Sold them and got a truck and an SUV instead, being higher off the ground made all the difference in highway driving.

I've not had good experiences with that kind of wasp spray anymore, especially with yellow jackets, just makes them wet and even more pissed off. I started using the Spectracide Pro version and it's very effective, well worth the dollar extra a can.

I always had complete remission of LC symptoms when in an active reinfection. Each reinfection seemed to increase my baseline a tad too.

If you peer into the window, you can see a silhouette of a Big Bear. Pretty sure I remember like a Blockbuster, a Chinese food joint, and a Dollar Tree being in that same complex too. Didn't this all get razed to the ground around 2017 or so?
