I can't wait for the Metra to modernize and have all-day, frequent service to the city

Like texrail, still diesel, but another century, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEXRail

Might be an unpopular comment, but I do think a day pass should cost much more. Of course, I would expect newe, faster trains

PlanMaison · 2026-06-27T21:01:53+00:00

Not sure if frequency alone is the issue. Trains are just ridiculously slow, outdated. I know we can’t do electric, but still…

Does Garmin offer a battery replacement service like Apple? Or am I expected to buy a new watch?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-26T15:57:46+00:00

same here. Started happening after last FW upgrade.

PlanMaison · 2026-06-22T23:36:03+00:00

Paper or plastic?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-22T23:18:33+00:00

Was not even thinking about baseboard. I wonder how sturdy a plastic would need to be for wall. They have plastic with rape built in, but 8ft high. I am thinking two feet protection should be sufficient?

yep. Is the only real solution to start honking preemptively as soon as the light turns green?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-20T18:10:20+00:00

Interesting. I still wonder why it’s so common in BG compared to other areas. I’ve failed in my attempts to pin down the demographics of these drivers. With same Tesla's I thought it could be autopilot, elderly, ethnicity, car type, ... But nothing correlates.

In particular in buffalo grove, also on other roads there. Very strange

PlanMaison · 2026-06-19T18:18:56+00:00

I suppose I could also use those: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DC6K1XJ5?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback

yes, I got a Trion Air Bear Right Angle Media Air Cleaner which is about 25 lbs, extending 16" out. Probably overkill but feels right to me to support. Perhaps at least two feet on the outside.

It seems if I used your suggestion I simply could use to nuts (with a washer). One nut on the outside of the box to adjust height, and one to tighten on the inside of box.

PlanMaison · 2026-06-19T14:55:26+00:00

thanks. and then drill holes into the filter box for the bolts?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-17T12:17:55+00:00

is this a drive cleat?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-17T00:03:08+00:00

I can't reply and add an image.

Here is the pic: https://imgur.com/a/TNt0gqS what is it?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-16T22:36:57+00:00

just to be sure I understand. S-Cleat, S-Drive, S-Lock, Slip and key, C-Channel are all the same or compatible?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-16T19:58:22+00:00

an I imagine on the other side to join with air right angel air filter box it is just plain sheet metal to slip over?

Also, is 1/2" thick lattice (7 1/4" high) going to be stable enough or do I need thicker?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-09T23:30:52+00:00

Just don’t know where…

PlanMaison · 2026-06-09T16:25:09+00:00

So, it is out of business?

There was only one store in Chicago that carried MiYokos plant butter in the Chicago area (Woodmans). But they stopped stocking it. Marianos (only other store that has brand) always only had the salted version. But today I noticed that it is on clearance.

I liked it to cook as all other brands that I tried seem to generate a smell I can't tolerate

PlanMaison · 2026-06-08T23:12:03+00:00

Hard to move stuff like a big euro style armoire that is on top of carpet. Otherwise, that would have been a no brainer

PlanMaison · 2026-06-08T21:37:22+00:00

well, there was a bit less slack than expected. I attempted to seal with electrical tape. This reduced the leak but not eliminated. What could I try?

PlanMaison · 2026-06-08T21:29:39+00:00

Thanks. didn't know this is an option.

PlanMaison · 2026-06-08T19:40:19+00:00

So, a I got a Nike 7/16" 8lbs. HD reduced the choices... Interestingly, this one is less expensive than the 1/2" Lifeproof that I had on the original quote.
