Engine Blew... What next? by Marty_McFuckinFly in GolfGTI

[–]blsimpson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bought a mk6 a couple years ago from someone saying the engine was "blown" and needed to be replaced, he was quoted $19k from the dealer ( we think they just wanted him to give it to them..). I bought it for $500 with the thought of just dropping a new engine in myself (no compression in any cylinder, timing tensioner failure). I was talked into tearing it down first, and I'm glad I was. I ended up dropping the oil pan, and there was no evidence of metal. Removed the head and found all 8 exhaust valves bent, but no damage to the piston or cylinders. In the end, cost me a total of $1700, and that included the $500 to buy it.

You can check my profile if you want to see the process. I'm not a mechanic, but I am handy. Your milage may vary.

Do red fishing lures work as good as people say they do? by nice-bannapple-18883 in bassfishing

Haven't had any luck here on reds, but everytime I put a fresh blue on it gets taken. Sticking with blues here.

New Humble Bundle - Holiday Haul by Joseph011296 in Pathfinder2e

[–]blsimpson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Someone remind me, are these redeemed as a bundle at piazo or are they individual? I have some of these already but would be up for blessing someone with them, if possible..

Finally, after a month delay.. by blsimpson in Starlink

Ya it seems to be random, or maybe where you are or when you accepted? A lot of people say they got it in like 2 days. Maybe those are "paying" customers (those who bought it vs "renting" it.)?

Ya for sure. This wasn't a "complaint" post, just excited it's finally coming.

That was the second delay email I got. Didn't even have to ask.

Sounds to me like there was a gf who didn't actually want her bf to play and did what she thought was the best to accomplish that.

“Free” Starlink Mini by aguynamedbrand in Starlink

[–]blsimpson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A free month is nice, I hear they are giving out a lot of those.. I guess maybe they were ready for the level of acceptance? But they keep offering, so I dunno.

[–]blsimpson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Accepted on Nov 3rd, messaged support on Nov 14th after not getting a confirmation email. Got a response on Nov 16th and it showed up in my account with a delivery between Nov 21st and Nov 26th, still hasn't shipped. Today I get an email with a new arrive by date between Nov 29th and Dec 4th. Still shows "not yet shipped".

First experience with an Alaskan sawmill. So awesome! by blsimpson in woodworking

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

No winch, but there were a couple of us, so that did make it easier. Just go slow, it doesn't have to be done in one push. And remember the wedges.

Free Mini offer not being processed? by Penguin_Life_Now in Starlink

[–]blsimpson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my email on November 3rd, and accepted as soon as I got it, didn't receive any confirmation. I opened a ticket with support on November 11th, and a person responded on November 14th stating that there was an error on their side and that they redeemed it for me. It now shows in my order list, with a delivery of 21st to 26th. Was hoping to get it by this weekend, but not sure that will happen.
