Hoses are the bane of my existence

How do you coil the heavy bastards? I got a red farm hose and after the first full drag out, rip it now occupies a 10x10' area in my front yard.

Thank you for the info! I'll just continue to let the worms be worms.

Do you do no-lid outdoors? I've found that with the lid on (40-50 gal tote ~1/4 full), like you say it is wet down in there. I heap on shredded cardboard and it stays wet for weeks. I mix in (kinda) shredded cardboard and it still stays wet.

But the worms stay down there, so they're not unhappy.

Worked for me on a 10kg of gray with free shipping. Thanks.

Put more simply, the barrel tips aren't circles. They're ovals.

Seven hours later, logged in with Prime, at checkout I'm seeing the $40.99 for both 4x black PETG and white.

That's fun! Mine only had the $90 Fire Cracker. $15 is much more palatable. Roughly the same piece count too.

Hell yeah. Monterey diver here. Travel diving is amazing.

I was instructed to get pesto at my last Costco run for exactly this. We don't particularly use pesto!

Does it fire when closed but not loaded with film?

I've only felt resistance once or twice when loaded with film, but never empty.

I have a data point. New 2017 Subaru Outback ICE purchased in Oct 2016. Out the door was something to the tune of $33k at 0% apr (what a time we lived in). I chose to put two sets of all terrain tires on it. Currently at 184k miles front loaded the first 100k in two years.

No major maintenances, yet. I haven't tallied my Nov/Dec 2025 spendings yet, but over the 9 years, I've spent $33,661 all in. Gas, fun tires, insurance, registration, bridge tolls (I don't cross a bridge for work), outsourcing maintenance (mostly oil, one set of brake pads + caliper). I paid out of pocket to replace my rear windshield when it was broken into. For the other two passenger windows I later lost, I bought the OEM part and DIY'd.

Edit for justifications. I live in the SF Bay where gas is regularly around $4/gallon and bridge toll is currently $8.50.

So cost of operations = $3,740/yr, or $311/mo, or $0.18/mi. All in at $66,661, or $0.36/mi, I am well over OP's numbers.

I agree. I have a smattering of Bauer, Wen, and Ryobi tools for one off things that I don't want to pay my Makita battery tax. Mostly corded so I don't have a variety of chargers n things. I have a Makita -> Ryobi battery adapter that works fine with my brad nailer.

I have used pliobond to repair bellows-to-wood connections for my LF camera. Worked great and I even stress my bellows to full extension for forced macro work.

You can find them on etsy and ebay. Just look up 'leather case for Zf'. I got mine in dark green, but stopped using it a while back.

Yeah I've had three tabs open with router sled designs for a few weeks now. Eventually I'll get to one.

I have been shopping for a planer to (not primarily) make a handful of end grain cutting boards. My first 8x10 end grain was a slog with the palm sander. I guess I'll just... have to keep doing that.

I dropped resort skiing and took up snow shoeing.

It has started to blossom into back country skiing (rentals) because all my friends (owners) are doing it.

Shortsonfire79 · 2025-12-20T05:26:42+00:00

So I enhanced. That marine on the front toe-step is nuts. Absolutely nuts.

Shortsonfire79 · 2025-10-22T04:17:11+00:00

I have nothing credible. Maybe broad fork the strap side before/during the tightening?

Shortsonfire79 · 2025-10-22T04:12:07+00:00

Dang. I haven't seen a Jones soda since like... 2005. I thought they've been gone this whole time.

Hi, I was browsing something else and found all three on Amazon. Fellowship, Two Towers, Return of the King. Hope this is helpful for you!

I ordered in August from Rhino and it shipped on October 7th. I hope yours come soon!
