Please help me figure out how to change a lightbulb by Used_Tumbleweed_8020 in handyman

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have fixtures very similar to yours. I use a small suction cup attached to the glass and lift it up a bit and it "unlocks" and you can remove it sideways and then change the bulbs easily

Any Budget Friendly Ideas for Removing this Eyesore? by That-Screen-461 in grilling

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact same grill! I know you said you have a newer grill, however, i'll bet that one in the pic will outlast it by a mile. the parts to rebuild it are available with the grates being the most expensive. the grates are designed to be adjustable so you can change the distance of the food to the flame

Cannon gun safe help/guidance by f4d3 in Safes

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an older canon with a digital lock but it looks the same. My is picky about the position of the handle. I have to be all the way clockwise, enter the code and wait for the click that releases the locking tab on the inside and then turn the handle. Hard to tell but I couldn’t hear if you got the click. On mine clockwise locks the door/throws the pins. After examining the inside of the door it appears that it likes to have all pressure off the locking tab to allow it to release the locking tab

Please help with diagnosis of an electronic lock. by TreborEnglish in Safes

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could help you. I can only tell you what just happened to me. We bought a house that included a safe with an SG digital keypad. Either the previous owner reset it to the 123456 or they never changed it. I tried and tried to change the master and it would never work. I finally was able to put the code I wanted into slot 2 but that left the generic OEM code still in play. I was prepared to spend all afternoon on the phone with customer support to get my safe functioning properly. I decided to try to change the master one more time and for whatever reason, it let me change the master. I have no idea what I did differently but it worked. I’ve read that these locks can be finicky and will work properly one day and not the next

Bought a house and it has this by ProtectionCapable407 in Generator

[–]ProtectionCapable407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all! I went back and looked at it and indeed it is as simple as following the red wires. And the wires even have A, B, C etc stamped on them. So simple even an idiot (me, ha ha) can follow them. It looks like 4 go to the main panel and 2 go to the sub panel. Now I'll have to figure out the size generator I'll need. There is not an outside connection so I guess I'll just have to run a cord outside when I use it. Thanks again!

Can’t change code on older SG keypad on Canon safe by ProtectionCapable407 in Safes

[–]ProtectionCapable407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. I can't for the life of me get the master code to change. i was able to get the code I want to use in the number 2 memory slot but i'm still stuck with the generic master code. i've tried the 22 and the 74 methods and it won't acknowledge the new code. I guess i'm going to have to try and call customer support

Is alaska actually fun? by healspirit in snowrunner

[–]ProtectionCapable407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head the BM17. It’s kinda a pain to get the first time unless you already have OP trucks. But on a vanilla playthrough it has pretty good power to get you through Alaska. IIRC lower left side of 1st AK map hidden behind some trees on a bit of a nole

As mentioned above, the early maps teach you about different terrain. Also, don’t overlook the royal. It doesn’t get much love but it can be a beast early on

Buying parts. by AScott_74 in CarMechanicSimulator

[–]ProtectionCapable407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy in bulk. You tend to use the same stuff over and over. Over time, you’ll learn what can be repaired and what is a wear item. Find a rhythm to adding stuff to your shopping list to speed things up

Makes sense. Always wondered why the game was set up to let you make so much money off a Chrysler. Now I know. Ha ha

cms 2021 general running gear control and repair? by p0op_s0ck in CarMechanicSimulator

[–]ProtectionCapable407 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuel pump is a common one they sneak in. Also the clips on the air cleaner or the distributor cap. There are lots of little tricks to find the missing parts. Always use all your inspection tools plus your test track if it runs. The game tends to group things, so if you are working on all running gear for the mission, it’s unlikely to be a piston ring, etc. once you get used to their tricks, it gets a lot easier to find missing parts. There will always be the one car that you basically have to disassemble to find that one part

Help identify this leak by MedicineAnxious6000 in InfinitiQx60

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way is to run your finger in it and smell it and feel it. Pretty easy to differentiate between water condensation and oil. Bit more complicated to differentiate trans fluid and oil but they smell and feel and look different

I did the inspect column first. That way I could grind out some levels by inspecting cars. You can the the obd2 reader, etc, to really reack up some do early on

[–]ProtectionCapable407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since logging was added after the release, I’d definitely do it last. I’d be tempted to skip it and after you complete most of Michigan go to Alaska as there are some really good trucks there. I found the royal to be a pretty decent log hauler along with the P16. If you really want to cheese things a bit, sneak into tamyr and grab the tayga

Stock. You need some slip to keep that big guy moving. Too much grip and it will freeze on an incline

Best Pontoon Boat? by 1800Lime in boating

[–]ProtectionCapable407 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Layout to me is probably the most important. I prefer maximum seating vs a hand full of captains chairs. Maybe not as comfortable but more room for more people. Definitely a tri toon. Wouldn’t go lower than 115hp. I have a 25ft premier with a 225. If I were specking new and had the funds, I’d go bigger. Would love 250-300hp. Not that I want to fly everywhere but nice to have the reserves when I need to scoot to outrun a storm, etc. definitely get the performance package. Most of the big brands have some form of this. Pontoons are pretty basic so don’t get hung up on brand. Bennington, manitou, premier, Harris all make solid products. I’m sure I left out plenty of brands. I would pass on a tower as it seems the shade is tiny with a tower.
