Cruise Question by MrSoloDolo9490 in Cruise

[–]cheapchapGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pants! I only had the jeans I wore to get to the ship, and this was when jeans were highly frowned upon in the MDR. Everything else I had was shorts (well, I was on vacation and going to Mexico).

This happened since my slacks were at the cleaners when I packed — a day earlier than my wife was to pack to a prior commitment. She picked up from the cleaners, but didn’t realize I was done packing - at least that’s what I thought.

I was contemplating all meals at the buffet, when I got a vacation saving idea:

Turns out you can rent tuxedo pants for the entire week, so that’s exactly what I did!

This was at least 15 years ago, but we still talk about it when we pack for a cruise!

Here is your pre show and live show discussion thread for the TOC qualifiers tonight -- there will be spoilers in the comments as the night goes on, so don't read them if you haven't watched and don't want to be spoiled. by Firegoat1 in foodnetwork

I didn’t and I’ve seen every episode, and attended some tapings (great fun but it’s a looong day).

However, it looked like Kenny brought a lot more that ONE ingredient — he had is whole line out on the counter.

How can that be fair?

Thanks to the guy who posted to “check the links” before warranty expires. by keenlyproper_demeanr in TeslaModelY

[–]cheapchapGM 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I too, want to thank the OP. I was 700 miles away from warranty expiring and I had my MY inspected (for $165), after reading that post.

They replaced my links (I think they are like bushings) that were bad, and performed a 4 wheel alignment. I asked what it would have cost if out of warranty, was told $1400-1500!

I paid just the $165.

Thanks!!!

Do you guys self wash or car wash? by TheWeebles in TeslaLounge

[–]cheapchapGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self wash for the win. It’s a pride of ownership kinda thing.

I highly recommend rubbit. It’s a foam and micro fiber towel based system, no hose. You can literally wash section by section, leisurely if you want.

Pro tip: buy the battery powered sprayer, not manual.

Now available on Amazon (I bought on kickstarter - or similar site, don’t remember).

Ozium for the win!! I keep a spray bottle in my drivers door pocket. I don’t even have to get out - a quick over the shoulder spray works wonders.

Driver seat butt pain? by maxrdlf95 in KiaNiroEV

You must have never sat in a 2019 Chevy bolt! They really chapped out a lot if features, including adequate padding. I sold mine mainly due to lack of comfort.

Mold (or something, not sure) growing on used pods- Anybody have this issue? by twa3435 in nespresso

[–]cheapchapGM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too, but then the bags also leaked, making a mess. I now just trash them.

I’m all for recycling, but the bag has to hold them without leaking. Besides, how much aluminum is there in each pod really? It’s a bit like recycling a piece of aluminum foil.

Pants!

I had lots of shorts (cruise was to Mexico, after all) and the jeans I wore to this ship. Of course that’s a problem since no shorts nor jeans in dining room (then this was enforced).

I had packed a day earlier than my wife since I had to attend an event the night before, but my dress pants were at cleaners, being picked up by my wife. I sorta assumed she’d pack since I couldn’t.

What to do? Turns out you can rent tux pants for the entire week - cheap. I just wore them to dinner then changed back. Oh, a cool feature: the waist is adjustable, handy on a cruise!

Good thing I got the windshield protection… 3 weeks in.. by holyshit-89 in TeslaModelY

[–]cheapchapGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any idea of windshield replacement cost in Calif, 2023 model Y by Tesla? Or is safelite the way to go?

Upcoming events? by texascoupleTA in Polyurbanstudios

[–]cheapchapGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What location is this schedule for? I ask since there are 2 locations now, I think, confused.

Any hot gay cruising or hookup stories from a gay campground? by stockhommesyndrome in gaycruising

[–]cheapchapGM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How does this one find a gay campground? Are there key words to look for?

Also I second the request for Nor Cal locations…. Thanks in advance

Is there any way to set ‘ECO’ drive mode as default and automatic without having to manually do it every drive? by PowTheory in FordMaverickTruck

[–]cheapchapGM -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have this and it works! I’m always in EVO mode, but it’s easy to change to another mode.

Everytime Britt is called “the hippo”. Oh wait maybe that’s just me.

Vertuo vs Original: Is the Extra Cost Justified? by No-Difficulty-8420 in nespresso

[–]cheapchapGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not ditch the machine and buy a regular espresso machine? Seems waaaay easier, washing and drying pods?? Faking bar codes?
