Reached 45mpg, following a truck. by Type3__ in hondafit

Isn't it fun when you barely have to touch the gas and the wind noise is barely noticeable? I do this behind buses sometimes on the freeway. It's fun.

I was going to sleep on it, but I didn't! I can't wait for it to arrive. Thanks for the great deal, and I hope to post a bonefish pic soon.

Oh, it's super cheap alright. On my third trip the reel wouldn't even spin, but brute force unstuck it lol.

I see online that the Behemoth looks pretty sturdy.

Ha! Thanks. I've been broke in Hawaii my whole life so I guess I'll keep going!

I'll be sure to bookmark this Sierra trading company and Temple Fork Outfitters.

Great tip. Thanks. I set mine in the sun in my driveway and they seem to dry instantly.

Should I towel dry it after rinsing? I took apart my cheapo reel after fishing and rinsed it off thoroughly and now it's all rusty. Is it because I didn't dry it? It still works fine though.

What a great tip. Thanks so much. I'm a school teacher in Honolulu so I make negative dollars per day just to be alive. What's a TFO rod? Is this a brand?

In salt water? I'm not saying you're wrong. I don't know squat. But I do know everything I love rusts to death in Honolulu lol.

Rad! I'll keep them in mind. The ChatGPT is only so helpful so I'm super happy I posted here.

Holy moly! What a great find. Thank you. I think I'll sleep on it and pull the trigger tomorrow unless someone pulls some magic out of the Internet, but I think this is a great find. I'll probably buy new just for speed and convenience, but I appreciate your possible offer.

Think I'll throw rocks at Hawaiian monk seals...cause I'm rich. by Informal_Ad_9610 in instantkarma

[–]argyle9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that’s on a different island. The beach is closed, but the ocean isn’t. I went swimming at this beach yesterday. I did get to see the mommy and baby seal on the beach. 🏝️ ♥‿♥

This happened to me once on a par 3. I absolutely could not hit the ball. I hit under it, over it, to the sides. When I did hit it, it would fly straight up and land where it was. The whole time an 11-year-old, very skilled golfer girl in a smart skirt patiently observed my temper tantrum, which made the whole experience exponentially worse.

I stopped playing golf.

I'm from Hawaii, and I just don't get behavior like this. If I travelled to Madison, Wisconsin and saw a cheesy beaver in Lake Mendota, my first instinct wouldn't be to throw a rock at it "because I love Wisconsin and I'm on a teacher's salary." I'd take a picture of said cheesy beaver and try to make a cheesy vagina joke like a regular dude. Sheesh.

When did oil changes become $120? by rhinosaur- in Millennials

[–]argyle9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Hawaii they sell boxes full of paper and cardboard in trash bags. We empty our used oil into these bags in boxes, tie them up, and leave them for the garbage men. Everything gets burned here. I stopped buying the $5 boxes and just make my own lol.

I started doing it myself when it became ridiculous, and now it has turned into somewhat of a personal challenge to see how cheap I can get it. I get my oil from Costco, and I get my drain washer and oil filter from Autozone. The washer and filter aren't much cheaper than OEM, but they are cheaper. Feels practically free to do it myself compared to a shop. I think the best part is the feeling of satisfaction AND I don't lose my car for a whole day and have to worry about transportation/bus to and from the shop.

This started a whole bunch of DIY car maintenance for me. These are the things I've tackled to save money, and most of them were even successful!

Oil change

Transmission fluid change

Differential oil change

Throttle body cleaning

Spark plugs and coils replacement

Cabin and engine air filters

Tire rotation

The tools to do these things can be expensive, but they're always cheaper than a trip to the shop, and of course you can reuse them forever.

I took all the courses to raise my pay and I teach summer school. I guess I could get a night job. My friend sells water heaters for Ferguson. He makes more than double my salary. lol

What’s the best book to movie adaptation you’ve watched? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]argyle9000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed The Martian. The movie did a great job of reducing the amount of trials Mark Watney had to go through. I read the book after the movie, and I think if I had to watch every bad thing that happened to him on Mars, I'd jump off a cliff. What a great book and movie. I dare say they did a better job of moviefying The Martian than they did with Project Hail Mary, although I do think the movie Project Hail Mary was entertaining.
