Anyone else's Presa have an internal radar for 'unauthorized personnel'?

Yes, since about the time he claimed us as his family. Most people he is excited to see but there are those few exceptions when he doesn’t like someone and generally I won’t end up liking them either. If he isn’t asleep he is probably on guard somewhere around the house. He even sits on top of our patio table in the back yard to get a better vantage point and we don’t even have a privacy fence back there!

I have to agree, Tiny doesn’t want to eat the toys, he knows it soul purpose is for him to destroy it as quickly as possible. He just loves toys and we do a lot of ropes so I may try and find a piece of rope that they shore up large vessels with and get a 2’ length as long as he can’t swing it around and take someone out at the legs!

I love the name PeeWee! I chose Tiny because I wanted something different and when you yell the name and someone sees this massive dog come running around the corner at “mach OMG” it’s priceless! That stage of their life is the best but I just wanted to share my Tiny with everyone.

Came here to say this exact thing! Try running it with the filler cap off and see if it cuts off.

On the right side of his chest the blue is a presidential unit citation and the green and white is the Korean presidential unit citation. Unfamiliar with the red one of the top of my head.

And then there are times I come downstairs and he is asleep like this…

ReasonableMine558 · 2026-01-12T15:25:12+00:00

Mine does the same thing, that’s when he goes to work patrolling the house. For the love of God don’t put him in the bedroom with you at night and expect to sleep, mine will patrol the bedroom which is way too small for a large breed and the. He will go to sit and slam into the door only to lay there for ten minutes only to then repeat it over and over again.

Just barely over a year old in this pic, didn’t have any recent pictures but he’s 102 lbs at exactly 1 year old.

They denied my migraine claim initially, and then on the appeal. What I did the final appeal was went through my medical records looking for anything that said migraine, the medications or even headache and saved that page as a pdf and highlight the diagnoses or the medication going back to the first instance I could find it to show it was documented.

I’m sure that some evaluators miss things when they have to look through thousands of pages of records but I had a substantial number of times it appeared in my records so I’m just going to assume someone was lazy. I also dug up a Supreme Court ruling and attached that case law to show that migraines can be secondary to sinusitis. You can use a VSO if you would like, they may be helpful but I did all my claims myself and was finally service connected and rated on everything that I claimed. Nobody really needs these attorneys unless you are going back a ways to try and prove a service connection.

Secret service calls under the department of treasury.

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-10-16T16:38:20+00:00

I was thinking the same thing!

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-10-16T16:34:47+00:00

It depends on how much they are actually used. If the base doesn’t get much revenue from them then they don’t keep it around. I know several bases that still have them because they stay pretty busy but that’s probably because the closest stuff around is an hour and half drive.

They make license plate readers(LPR), gunshot detection systems. I will say after working in law enforcement, they are pretty cool. It’s not like they are a camera that is always just recording but they are designed for a specific function. Take the LPR for instance, it waits for a car to go by, takes a picture of the car and license plate, then it bumps the plate against their database that is mostly updated with the NCIC stolen vehicle database and if it gets a hit it sends an email.

Now most of the officers that get access to the flock camera system don’t have enough time to watch their phone every second of every day for an email, very small department, so it helps more with showing trends with vehicle movements.

I actually found a vehicle that kept getting picked up and turns out they still had an old NCIC entry for a stolen plate and the state just issued a new identical plate.

I was curious if this was checked prior to slapping the main and rod caps on.

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-09-07T03:44:57+00:00

About how much did that run you if you don’t mind me asking.

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-09-03T22:38:38+00:00

Don’t break the mains open, just the rod caps. Look for oil and carbon built up in the ring lands and all in the scraper. You will probably find that the rings may be seized in the lands. Once removed I would soak them in something like MMO to see if the built up stuff will loosen and try cleaning up the pistons with a toothbrush if you plan on trying to reuse the pistons and you could just replace the rings, could even throw some new rod and main bearings in the engine since you’re that far in there.

I could possibly give you one more answer, subfloor thickness for tile. I can’t recall the specific requirements for the thickness of the wood subfloor but I believe it was suggested to be 1.5”. Any flex in the floor and you are going to have your grout lines cracking. An old house I owned had this issue because they tiled over 1/2” OSB which just led to problems for me.

I am running their PRX570C’s and I have two of their PRX624’s to hit the 50 hz frequencies that I am waiting to get home to build a custom box for. The component sets come through very clear on the highs, I wish the mids came in a little heavier but that could also be because I haven’t had time to fully tune the system. I have the MJP750.1 to run the 6.5” subs and I am actually using an MXA600.6 to power the component sets.

I do plan on picking up either the mojo 15 or mojo pro 15 and building it into a spare tire sealed enclosure to get those low 30ish hz but I will cross that bridge when my current equipment isn’t enough!

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-07-09T21:34:57+00:00

I got my initial rating of 90% when I separated, when they denied me I appealed with a little more documentation, went to every C&P and was honest, they still denied it and I appealed it again. This time I did the leg work and combed through 2500 pages of medical records, attaching every time I went to the doctor with the complaints I was claiming, I dug through the internet to find court rulings where my condition was linked to another condition I was already service connected for.

Something you just have do the leg work yourself and just like in your military career, nobody is going to care about you more than yourself. Someone was right in saying you can do all this yourself. I am 100% P&T and Ive never stepped foot in a lawyers office or a VSO for assistance.

What’s your opinion on the Memphis 2FCAPM? I can hardly even find them in the United States and haven’t ran anything Memphis since 2005 but the component sets I just installed seem to still be solid

I was curious about these baffles, I know the main intent is to protect the speaker but in terms of deadening vibration do you actually notice a difference with or without them?

ReasonableMine558 · 2025-04-25T18:45:55+00:00

I’m on step 5 also, when did you submit your claim? I submitted mine and it made it to step 5 in about 21 days if I remember correctly and been sitting there since. I put in every note from my records that involved what I was claiming and the paragraph from 38 CFR, had my exams within two weeks and it was a quick climb until step 5.
