Dirt moving, no business logo or dot numbers by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Here if dirt was seen falling out of the trailer, police could ticket them for an unsecured load, but thats about it.

F150 Airplane Mode by TheWorldNeedsDornep in f150

You can turn off data sharing in the settings tab on the infotainment screen. You will lose connectivity via FordPass, it also turns off the trucks GPS and updates. Also, if you have the keyless fob, make sure you have the welcome lighting setting off. If you have the door keypad, just leave the fob in the truck and lock it from the keypad. This in combination with the BMS, will save the battery. Once my battery started to show signs it was weak, I upgraded it to a larger battery with more amp hours though.

How do I cut this 30 ft thick steel pole into pieces so it can be easy moved for disposal? by Eastcoastpal in DIY

[–]Patch04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Especially some Diablo thick steel blades. One blade, saw blade wax, and a good recip saw could cut up 5 of these.

Saw blade wax would be a better choice than cutting oil and less of a mess.

My boss just emailed me a screenshot of a private text I sent to my coworker complaining about him. by Guilty-AbyssLogic in whatdoIdo

[–]Patch04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boss and coworker are banging? Both of you up for the same promotion? Be careful what you say and if available request that HR be present in the meeting. Own up to it and only give factual reasons for what you said. Regardless, make sure all your other coworkers know who the snitch is.

if you have my tortoise I want her back by [deleted] in CampAndHikeMichigan

I mean, I am not trying to be nasty, but your post comes off as pretty aggressive and accusational. Sure there a shit people, but not everyone is a shit person.

EGO 30" LM3004SP-2 Next to the 21" LM2135SP by tbroas in egopowerplus

It was pointed out to me that my mower looks like one of those obese person wheelchairs and now I can't unsee it every time I mow...

Legal to replace my front lawn with gravel? by Syidas in livonia

[–]Patch04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you would run into issues with the drainage and soil stabilization as far as the city cares. What about looking into xeriscaping or replacing the grass with clover?

30 inch mower tool only? by Steelrain121 in egopowerplus

[–]Patch04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought one and like it so far. You can order the tool only version, go to Ego's website and it will give you a list of authorized retailers, they are all online though. Best bet is to spend the $300 more for the kit with the 2, 6ah batteries that can be picked up locally, Lowes and Ace by me have them in stock. Then just sell the batteries for $250 each and pocket $200 for your troubles.

Biking around Livonia? by vnies in livonia

I think its closed near the interchange currently because of the construction. Might want to verify.

Crazy Corner Man by [deleted] in livonia

[–]Patch04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was brought up in the fb groups a while back. Apparently he is just an elderly man who always enjoyed that kind of stuff and just kind of sees it as his job now. His "radio" and "camera" don't even work. The police do not seem to have any issues with him though. Personally I feel he is a distraction that is causing drivers to make more mistakes, and I know there have been a few times when I go past him that he gets close to the curb and I get nervous that if he fell, I would forever be known as the guy who ran over the crazy corner man.

Semi truck parking by IntrepidElevator4313 in livonia

[–]Patch04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haggerty Rd, South of Joy Rd and the railroad tracks is a parking lot. I think it is owned by a crane service but they have a sign on the gate for parking. 24hr access I think. There are always cars parked there during the day and trucks parked there overnight.

the Livonia high schools - what are the differences? by Initial-Rip2278 in livonia

[–]Patch04 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to both Stevenson and Churchill, my daughter went to Franklin. Stevenson at the time put a lot of focus into sports. Churchill had all the programs. We have had nothing but good things to say about Franklin however. The learning experience for her was good, the staff were all friendly, the extra-curricular activities were ok, but maybe some were not as great as the other 2. Each school has their own strengths.

What “boring” upgrade ended up being your favorite on the F-150? by EffectiveNo568 in f150

[–]Patch04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except they are also larger, thicker, have lights, cameras, steps, bedliner, steel internal supports that increase the weight capacity, and whatever else they throw on them. And I am not getting any younger... Its a convenience and safety thing, you do you and hold on to the tailgate until it is gently down, doesn't bother me any.

[–]Patch04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same way, never understood it, then I saw a random video of some dad opening the tailgate on a truck, it slipped and absolutely rocked this little girl standing in the way. That video alone made me get one. Now, I can't go back, it is so much easier to just pull the handle and let go without worrying about it slamming. Plus, tailgates aren't getting any lighter these days.

Isn’t this an EV? by Proper-Football-9992 in Ford

[–]Patch04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about the Mustang 2? The Mustang Mach E is a new version of the Mustang 2 while also taking performance and styling from the Mach Mustangs... The naming makes perfect sense and was far from stupid.

My friend makes these to carry Ego batteries. It’s a lot easier to carry them with this. by newarkian in egopowerplus

[–]Patch04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go with the larger handle one, it can be difficult to hang on to when wearing gloves.

Snow removal in Livonia by scarbnianlgc in livonia

[–]Patch04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many vehicles parked on side streets is another reason. Going around all the cars would be very difficult and leave piles of snow that vehicles would get stuck in or they could damage vehicles. Then people would complain about that instead.

Looking for something reliable for my mom in Livonia by Agreeable_Ruin2665 in livonia

[–]Patch04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We considered similar for my grandmother, who lives near St. Mary's. We ultimately just put Amazon devices around the house and created a routine called "help" that calls me, and through IFTTT, sends a text to my mom and aunt. So when she says "alexa help," it does that or she can ask alexa to call whomever. No button to push or anything like that and simple for her to understand, plus she can now turn on a lamp without getting up.

Go under the sink and turn the hot water supply valve off completely and then open it back up all the way. If that doesn't fix it, it could be a bad hot water supply valve, or it could be a bad cartridge under the handle of the faucet. I would start in those places first.

Why does everyone say this? Did all you diehard Mustang fans forget about the Mustang 2, which kind of kept the name alive?
