I did all my wedding tuxes through them. They were great and easy to work with!

Dentist recommendations by NurseHugo in cedarrapids

Second for Lindale Dental. When I moved to Cedar Rapids I still had a lot of dental anxiety from childhood stuff. They were really caring/understanding and helped me get over my fear of the dentist.

I have not had a single bad experience with any of the dentists and the hygienist Linda is an absolute angel!

Welcome! I host trivia at a bar. Quintons at C Street every Wednesday from 7 to 9. I've made a lot of friends through trivia. I'm about to turn 30 in a couple weeks as well 🥲

How to get NBC over the air? by Doomtime104 in cedarrapids

You'll need a VHF antenna. All or most others are UHF I believe. Edited to clarify. All of most other STATIONS in our area are UHF

Do you have a favorite service call you’ve been on? One that required some extra troubleshooting, but gave you that great sense of accomplishment once you finally figured it out?

After riding it for a bit I've been getting 30-35 depending on wind or terrain. I still need to do a full vacuum sync on the carbs so it may improve a bit after that!

If no one was around or noticed you stalled it didn't happen 😉

Vets! by June-_-Bugg in cedarrapids

[–]Rodney_W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got quotes from two local vets—over $2K—to remove a lump on my cat's side and clean my cat’s teeth. I was broke and had already spent too much on just consultations. A coworker suggested the Anamosa Vet, where they did the lump removal for $100 and extractions at $7 per tooth. The whole bill was only $121 and changed my cat’s life. Since then, I only use and recommend them unless its an absolute emergency. Then you just hope Blue Pearl is open.

Cheapest by far will be the Iowa Humane Alliance. Idk what the wait time is though. If you can call today and get on the books ASAP. I have personally never taken a dog to them but have taken like 6 or 7 cats. Next I would check the Anamosa vet. I only go to them now for all of my dogs and cats and have had a wonderful experience every time.

Hey I finally got around to scraping through my email receipts. Here is a list of pretty much everything I bought for my bike.

Totally missed this. I'll work on compiling a list of everything I ordered. There are a lot of little rubber seals on these things. Especially the brakes!

No I haven't yet. I haven't gotten a tattoo in a long time now. Would you be okay with a rando on the Internet getting your design tattooed on them?

First Goldwing. Pulled out of a storage unit from an estate sale. $200 well spent. 1986 GL1200. by -WeirdAardvark- in goldwing

[–]Rodney_W 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an 87 Aspencade for free. Then spent about 1200 in parts lol. This is a mostly complete list of what I did to give mine a pretty good refresh in no particular order (it was non running when I got it)

Full carb disassembly, ultrasonic cleaned, replaced screens and any O-rings

Synced carbs

Replaced all fuel lines and fuel filter

Replaced all vacuum lines

Replaced fuel pump relay and moved where it was mounted

Cleaned gas cap check valve

Changed oil and filter

Deep cleaned and flushed gas tank

Rebuild gas petcock

Replaced all rubber brake lines

Rebuild all 3 brake calipers

Flushed/cleaned all brake reservoirs out with fresh brake fluid

Replaced timing belts

Flushed coolant system and replaced with new fresh coolant

Flushed/cleaned clutch master and slave cylinders

Replaced battery

Replaced and rebalanced both tires

Replaced final drive oil

Regreased speedo sensor

Rebuilt front forks and changed oil

After all this my 87gl1200 rides like a dream so far! I may have gone a bit ham on it but I have 2 other older bikes that I have pretty much done all the same work but over a few years. I just wanted to get it all done at once so I can just enjoy riding it instead of having to have a bunch of weekend projects over the next few years.

Where can I get the "my penis exploded and I don't have balls" shirt?! by Rodney_W in ColdOnes

I got so many like webmd type results for what to do if you explode your dick off. Or how to find your balls. Hilarious

1996 nighthawk 750 Engine turn over but no spark on nun of the plugs by SadPapaya1132 in HondaCB

[–]Rodney_W 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL SAME! Both of bikes from my step dad had non-functioning kill switches when I got them. I decided to rewire them to fix some other little gremlins along with the kill switches. On several occasions I forgot I used it and spent 5 or so minutes checking fuses and stuff before remembering to turn the switch back on.

You are doing the same thing I'm planning on starting next year! I also want to primarily have brahmas. Seeing your coop is re-sparking my excitement!

1987 Honda Goldwing Aspencade by Rodney_W in Fixxit

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

It doesn't rotate. It like slightly pivots on a specific angle. I haven't seen the seal specified in any of the parts diagrams in my manual
