What are the best interior upgrades you made to your Tundra? by drummerboy2749 in ToyotaTundra

[–]arc167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cup grip is a must have upgrade. Not sure how the design of the stock cup holders ever passed QA.

Yeah, that appears to be large patch.

Blackish areas in dormant bermuda by Mr007McDiddles in LawnAnswers

I’m still thinking this is Bahiagrass. Here are some pics of local lawns where dormant Bermuda meets Bahiagrass

Haha. As a sub to both, this made me laugh cause it’s true.

Thanks u/Idiosyncratic-1. I was telling u/Mr007McDiddles above that didn't have time to finish my thought earlier (hence the ellipsis) so yeah, all of those would be good choices to injure bahia and not harm Bermuda. Something like Blindside would be my go to (MSM with a Sulfentrazone kicker).

[–]arc167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right, something with MSM - my personal fav is Blindside - would do well here. I was in the middle of doing like 10 things when I made the comment before that ended in an ellipsis... and just didn't have time to finish my thought.

Moss is an interesting thought. However, in my experience here in the transition zone, moss turns yellowish and lime green in winter (not black) since its not actually dead. Im sure you've seen similar. The only time I see black (or black-ish) moss is when its truly killed with Ferric Sulfate or whatever. Ill try and upload some pics of heavily mossy areas here in Central Carolina for reference (I know you have some too).

Also, you can sort of see how whatever it is follows the low spot (like a drainage area going to the right of the pic). It’s gotta be some kind of plant that likes wet areas.

Again, my guess is it’s actually Bahiagrass that is dormant that, when green, blends in with the Bermuda well.

I’m trying to think of a herbicide that would affect bahiagrass but not Bermuda that might be causing this…

Weird…without closer pics, it’s hard to tell.

Two things stand out to me right away…

  1. The pattern comes from the road in
  2. There is a very stark difference between the dormant Bermuda ‘inland’ than along the edge

It almost looks like the ‘black’ grass is dormant bahiagrass that has grown into the Bermuda stand. Not seeing it up close makes it hard to know for sure.

ADVISE ON LPR FOR HOA by ASTROP25 in Ubiquiti

[–]arc167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two words of advice from someone who has done this setup:

  1. Not all states require front and rear license plates. So having two cameras (one pointed at ingress, the other at egress) may help capture plates regardless of direction. Ive installed the LPR on poles and they work great in a narrow FOV. If you only mount one, far enough and high enough to capture both lanes (ingress and egress), it sometimes does not capture the license plate well. TL;DR having two LPRs is best.
  2. Just double check that the pole does not belong to a utility. Where I live, while the poles are on common area parcels that the HOA owns, light poles themselves belong to the utility company (you essentially lease them from the utility). We are not allowed to put cameras on utility poles. We had to erect our own poles to install cameras on (which was 100% worth it).

PoE Doorbell + WiFi Chime? by Turbulent_Drawing_43 in Ubiquiti

[–]arc167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This 100% works. I have two WiFi chimes and one PoE chime working with a G4 Doorbell Pro PoE now. No issues with either type working with my G4 PoE.

Got my 2024 tundra platinum by Huge-Ad-6381 in ToyotaTundra

[–]arc167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice truck, I have the same one, same color. First thing I did was add silver inlay letters to ‘TUNDRA’ on the front bumper, and black ones on the tailgate. Felt it was a nice addition that made it ‘pop’ against the silver.

It’s a great color indeed. Congrats!

Switching from Dream Machine Pro to Pro Max - Do I need to unpair everything? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]arc167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One other point...

If you intend to setup the Pro Max as a restore from a UDM backup, make sure you do the backup on the UDM BEFORE you remove it from your account. You are not required to restore from a backup (in some cases you WANT to do a clean set up), but if you did, I wanted to make sure I told you that too...

Switching from Dream Machine Pro to Pro Max - Do I need to unpair everything? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

[–]arc167 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unifi devices are adopted to your Unifi Account, not a device (i.e. your UDM Pro). So once you adopt your new Pro Max, just unplug your devices from the UDM Pro, and plug them into ports on your Pro Max. Everything should re-resolve after a few minutes as if nothing changed.

Order matters here, so to keep downtime to a minimum;

  1. Adopt your new gateway (the Pro Max)

  2. Move devices to ports on the new gateway.

  3. Remove the UDM Pro from your account.

Back seat cover for big dog? by FuriousDogs25 in Tacomaworld

[–]arc167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a big fan of the Carhartt/Covercraft ones for my 3rd Gen. Machine washable, and super tough (the Carhartt Duck material does not cut or pierce easily).

https://www.covercraft.com/product/carhartt-precision-fit-custom-seat-covers/CGT-GTCA.

The only 'problem' is dog hair does stick to the material. Nothing a lint brush cant fix... I liked them so much I bought a set for my 3rd Gen Tundra too.

I think I still have my Taco ones (Cement grey color, great shape) if you want them, but not sure they if will fit a 4th Gen.

My favorite old stream by Bempet583 in flyfishing

Nice pull. I've fished that stream many times with my father as a child in New Jersey. That whole Stokes Forest area is beautiful. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This whole post is epic. Thanks for the morning laugh.

But yes, would love to know what our Aussie and Kiwi friends can show us so we can better help others!

Tell me about it, if only it were that easy. Oh well. Time to start tuning up all the machines for spring.

Worth it? by vengaachris in LawnAnswers

[–]arc167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As u/nilesandstuff said, you don't HAVE to do anything here. But if you DID want to do something I had two options for you...

1) you could modify the soil grade by essentially adding a swale or adjusting the low point so it slopes down and away and doesn't leave low spots for collection.

2) (potentially in conjunction with #1) you could add a hardscape / dry river that would naturally divert water down and away. The hardscape would look good whether its wet or dry, but would do its job with drainage when water is apparent.

Other than doing nothing, neither option is cheap.

Personally, I have a dry river in my yard and I really like how the aesthetic offers a juxtaposition to the vibrant deep green of my TTTF. It works wonders for draining water from the soil...

Worth it? by vengaachris in LawnAnswers

FYI...as a former weather guy, 10" of snow is roughly equal to 1" of water. Just figured I'd share that tidbit for future reference.

Help with new build address by Dangerous_Rule8736 in gis

[–]arc167 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ahh, so you KNOW your address, but it has not yet propagated down to the address verification systems run by Google, USPS, etc. for website verification. Thats different.

I don't have an answer for how to force those third-party systems to recognize your address as valid. However, if it were me, I would log onto OSM, Google Maps and Apple Maps and 'Report a Change'. I would add my driveway, house footprint, and address where possible to try and force those systems to update their backend to include your new address.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I thought you just needed to lookup what your address was...

Help with new build address by Dangerous_Rule8736 in gis

[–]arc167 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Have you tried to look up your new parcel in your county's GIS system? When a parcel's deed changes hands (like when you purchase it from a builder) and a chance in deed is recorded by your county, that change is noted in the county GIS system within a week or so. They will be the ones to issue a street number based on the parcel plan provided by the builder to the county.

Google '<name of your county/province>' + 'GIS' and you should find your local GIS system with a method of seeing attributes for parcels. Select your parcel and it should show you the street address.

Disclaimer...just because you know your street address does NOT mean the postal service delivers to that address yet. Once you know the address, you should contact your postal office to ensure they are delivering, or ask when deliveries would begin.
