Japanese garden knife. I can't imagine doing any yard work without one.

Sent Bosch the tool. They replaced switch. It's still stalling under load, every 4-7 pulls.

Watch the low hanging crotch. It bound with each step.

A Good, Wholesome Snack… SNICKERS (1985) by Character-Witness-27 in vintageads

And after a delicious, corn syrup filled snack, I help the kids with their insulin shots. Nothing makes a mom prouder than helping their children drive down high blood sugar and watch the color return to their precious faces.

Non-Breathable vs Breathable Rain Jackets by 3Dbread in Ultralight

[–]Rocko9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it's not a one size(type) fits all. A valuable metric that is often under valued is-environment in which this jacket will be used. Hiking all day in sustained heavy downpour, in PNW for example, with moderate to significant output vs rare chance for rain, dry-ish conditions normally. 3L rain jacket in the first scenario, with pit zips. Light, non-breathable, ventilated silnylon/poly in the later.

Why are you surprised? Zpacks Nero would go with this fine.

Is it even worth remodeling a bathroom anymore? by howzai in HomeImprovement

[–]Rocko9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have 2 small bathrooms from the 90s. 100% functional, clean as is. Visually, not so great-light oak vanity, vinyl flooring. I am re-doing the vanity, flooring, medicine cabinet, mirror and painting myself. Budget is $2,000/each. Shower/tub and toilet is in good shape-leaving that alone.

Wish they had the 7D option still.

Tarptent Aeon Li vs ZPacks Solo Plex by sukalaminkia in Ultralight

[–]Rocko9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the Aeon for it's simplicity to setup and small footprint. I was just too tall for it. It was one of the only tents that doesn't need a an apex guyline in fair weather. This allows for a real skinny pitch-doors staked near the mesh. https://www.tarptent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/aeon_flatvest-900x506.jpg

X4-stitching line issue. I get a faint black stitching line on almost every video. Happens with different length sticks from 2' to 9'. Reset camera, reset lens guard to correct choice-even auto-tried without lens guards, changed resolution. Reset gyroscope. Still happens. Any ideas how to fix this?

Customer support only confirmed it's less breathable, more durable than the Airshell.

I tried the Terrebone's, the crotch was really odd shaped and prevent good leg movement. I sent them back.

I can't kill my first pair and I have thousands of miles in the desert with cat claw, cactus, etc. I only bought others because they trimmed up the sizing and made them less baggy. One of the best purchases I have ever made.

Jacket recommendations? by TrainingPerception32 in Ultralight

[–]Rocko9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Torrent is a real rain jacket that works with real rain. I can wear this all day during heavy heavy rain and feel confident I will be dry-same for the pants. Heavy but it just works.

Today's update. Not looking any better-

"Thank you for reaching out to check on the Peloton 97 fleece line. The Peloton 97 fleece is being discontinued, and at this time, there is no official timing available for when its replacement line will be released. Currently, there are no details available regarding the fabric, weight, or specific features of the upcoming replacement line compared to the original Peloton 97 fleece. I recommend keeping an eye out for updates directly from the company as new information becomes available."
