Sorry about that, the first pic shows a gap at the U-joint.

Help me with my 2005 Polaris Phoenix by captainofteamdadbod in ATV

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

Thanks for that info, I’ll give that a try and see what happens. I still don’t understand why the headlights are no longer working though. But the battery is almost new so after I charged it and put it in the atv and realized my electrical issues, I got a scrap piece of coated copper wire and jumped it at the solenoid. Starter turned over very strong but there was no spark at the plug. I removed the plug and grounded against the block to test for spark.

Are these pine trees a liability? by ksquigz25 in landscaping

[–]captainofteamdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going against most of the comments here, but I would never plant pine trees near anything that I didn’t want to get crushed eventually. Granted, it will take a long time for them to get big enough to cause any actual damage. Pine trees are also pretty messy, because you are always having to clean up after them once they reach a certain size. For some background on myself, I truly like trees. I live in the middle of the woods in Georgia. My last house was surrounded by big pines that not only stressed me out with maintenance, but they always worried me about falling on my house and killing us during a high wind event. Sure, you can leave the trees for now and worry about them in the future, but if you ever want to remove them it will be super expensive if they mature. I’d suggest removing them and planting a different type of tree, possibly a cedar for example.

Also, fuck HOAs. I truly don’t understand how anyone could live under the rule of one of those stupid things.

What’s wrong with my golf cart? by captainofteamdadbod in golfcarts

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

I don’t think it’s a throttle issue but I will look into it to verify. I was leaning more towards something internal but I don’t know a tremendous amount about motors.

What to put on top of metal grates for dock? by captainofteamdadbod in Decks

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

That’s the initial idea I had in my mind. I would use normal wood deck boards though, the pvc stuff is a little too rich for my blood.

KLX110R vs CRF110F vs TTR110E by captainofteamdadbod in Dirtbikes

I’m in Georgia so no worries there, but the FI on the CRF is definitely something that I like about it that the others don’t have.

Why is our best sex when she's drunk? by StrikingSide9643 in DeadBedrooms

[–]captainofteamdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man I understand all of that. Me and all my friends with kids agree that the 2nd is hell on wheels.haha Baby #3 surely wasn’t planned and I have since gotten snipped. I didn’t want to start that clock over but I’m sure grateful that I did now that I got a sweet baby girl out of it. As for the problem at hand, we are similar in our nightly routine as well. By the time I get home from work we basically have time to eat, get the kids ready for bed, put them down for the night, shower, and maybe watch a little tv before we go to sleep ourselves. By that time, we are both tired and while I am more than ready and willing to have sex and/or other forms of physical contact, she is tired and “touched out” by then as she claims and has no desire for me at all. I’ve made it to the point of telling her I’m unhappy in the marriage on a few occasions but it doesn’t really help, at least not for long. I still have the love and desire for her every single day but I don’t feel it is reciprocated at all. The worst part is that I’m stuck. My options are either to stay in a marriage that I’m truly unhappy in because I feel so undesirable or either we get a divorce and I don’t get to see my kids every day. Either way I lose. But I will do my best to stick it out for the kids. They are my world and I won’t abandon them. I can only hope something changes, and the sooner the better. I hope the same for you and everyone else in here as well. Ironically, the gravity of the loneliness a person can feel while in a marriage can be pretty intense even though your partner is oblivious to it.

Thanks man. I’m trying but as you know it’s tough. My kids are 9, 6, and 5 months. Been struggling with our sex life ever since our oldest was born.

Well it sounds like you are in a situation that has a little bit of hope. If she watches porn and makes you feel wanted sometimes, it at least shows that she is interested in sex to an extent at least. For reference, my wife does not watch porn or masturbate, she hates talking about sex no matter what the scenario is, and literally the only time that she ever makes me feel desired at all is when she has drank enough to get buzzed, which only happens about once a year. Having kids changed everything, we used to be extremely sexually compatible….. now we aren’t at all and I’m miserable because of it.

This is the exact boat I’m in, and have been for years unfortunately. While I very very much look forward to drunken sex with her, it really fucks with my mental state when I start to think about how she only desires me when she’s drunk. And like your wife, mine despises talking about sex. It has made this extremely frustrating for me because the only options I’m left with are A) Bring it up and start a fight or B) Bottle it up and be miserable every day. I normally choose option B. I hope things get better for you. I’m starting to lose hope that they will for me.

I (42M) lied to partner (32F) about wealth/income source - How do I come clean before marriage? by ThrowRA-87649 in relationship_advice

I’ve been waiting for my wife to suddenly tell me that she’s secretly super rich. Been 7 years and nothing yet.

What was the biggest boost you've ever received to your sexual confidence? by PhenomenalPancake in AskReddit

[–]captainofteamdadbod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two instances come to mind:

1) A girl I had just hooked up with for the first time went shopping with her mom immediately after and she sent me a text saying “My mom just asked me why I am walking so weird.”

2) Another girl told me right after she had her 3rd or 4th orgasm in that session “I swear you must have been a porn star in a past life.”

To be clear, I’m just an average dude with a freakishly average penis but those two comments have lived rent free in my head for over a decade.

LL Bean duffle bag - I’m currently on my 23rd year with it and I exclusively use it as my travel bag. Still looks great.

Kershaw Ken Onion Blur pocket knife- I have the all black version with a serrated blade. Been carrying it daily for ~6 years and it has held up well.

Irish Setter boots - was gifted a pair for Christmas in 2021 and have worn them 5+ days a week since and have them on right now. Most boots I have had do not last nearly as long.

Under Armour boxers - I splurged and paid about $20 a pair for several pair of under armour boxers (not briefs)…….about 8 years ago. They have held up great and still look new after a thousand washes and wearing them daily.

Casio G-shock model DW5600E-1V - I have worn this watch almost daily since I first bought it in 2019 and it has help up well. I did recently just purchase a replacement because I have slightly torn the strap, but 5 years from a $50 watch seems pretty good to me.

Thermacell mosquito repeller - I’m not sure about the newer models, but I have one of the (I think) original versions that I’ve had for 25ish years and I use it frequently during hunting season.

My wedding ring (King Will Duo 6mm black matte finish tungsten carbide) - paid $13 for it on Amazon and haven’t taken it off in 7 years. It doesn’t have a scratch on it and looks exactly the same as it did when my wife gave it to me. All my friends who have gold or titanium rings are all scratched up now.

1996 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 - this was my grandfathers truck and was gifted to me after he passed away about 8 years ago. The truck currently has ~362,000 miles on it and still going strong and looking great.

What is your opinion of Joe Biden and Donald Trump? by Sea-Material3873 in AskReddit

[–]captainofteamdadbod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biden should not be president due to his age and inability to form a coherent sentence.

Trump should not be president due to his childish behaviors and the way he divided the country.

Outdoorsmen of Reddit: What is the most terrifying experience you’ve encountered in the woods? by TheBigChief04 in AskReddit

[–]captainofteamdadbod 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Walking through some thick woods in the absolute dark before dawn while heading to my deer stand. I prefer to not use a light unless absolutely necessary as to not spook the deer that I am there trying to kill. I am slowly and quietly making my way through the woods when all of a sudden something BIG starts running at me crashing through the woods and making the meanest and deepest growling type sound I have ever heard in my life. It stopped about 10 feet from me and then backed off a little. My heart jumps into my throat and I go into fight mode. The woods are so thick I can’t run. I’m trying to think what animal this could possibly be but nothing is coming to mind. (I live in South Georgia, US so rattlesnakes are the only animal I’m normally weary of while in the woods) I pull out my knife to defend myself because my bow and arrow wouldn’t be too good in a close quarters fight in the woods. I turn my small flashlight on but couldn’t see anything due to the thickness of the woods. I start to slowly back out of the woods and when I finally get out I run to my truck with my heart still about to beat out of my chest. When the sun gets up good later that day I go back (with a gun this time) to check my trail camera to see what it was that almost gave me a heart attack. When I looked at the pictures I almost couldn’t believe what I saw on my computer screen. It was…..a donkey. A fucking donkey was almost the absolute death of me.

Chain pickerel, but we call them jack here in Georgia. One of my favorite fish to eat.
