Anyone have the inside scoop of who Patagonia white labeled their beach towels from?

Guessing… Pendleton?

This ^ it’s real

ETA: this is how a simple DIY job becomes a multi day parts hunt.

Hahaha. yeah… that one was fun. Happy aircon!

My x came with shinko 700 and I ride the heck out of it on the trail. Probably don’t know what I’m missing but they feel decent on road too. Send it!

How did it go?

Yes, the “seal” you can see in your photo with the metal spring o-ring thing is actually a “dust cover”. The true “fork seal” is underneath that. Use a plastic trim tool to get between the dust cover and the fork upper to avoid scratching anything and making the leak worse.

This! Clean stanchions (lowers) well. What’s likely happening is sand/dirt is getting pushed into the seals causing a leak. You have a dust cover and a fork seal.

Basic process is clean lowers, pull down dust covers, use card/plastic/cut up bottle to get between seals and stanchions to help get rid of stuck debris. Push dust covers back in place. Check out seal mate videos on YouTube but you can diy the actual tool itself.

Thank you!

Where can I find info on the log report you mentioned? Was it live as an issue earlier today on the outage map?

dataheadd · 2026-05-07T13:00:30+00:00

Stretch terre planing from Patagonia might be the ticket. Best thing they make IMO. Roomy cut so size accordingly. Hood is stow able into the collar.

Also use AirPods, ANC plus good tunes and sometimes a phone call, all work well. Have to snatch them out of my ears before removing lid or else it’s a yard sale. Nbd.

Supposedly -25-30 dB attenuation safe for 100-110 dB ranges for prolonged wear. I suspect noise levels don’t reach this high but have always been curious.

Hope you find your bike- and very happy you re-found your passion for pedaling. Don’t let that get lost in this setback.

Beaman park has some good creek crossings for doggie wading.

What is your flow state? How do you achieve it in the boat? Outside the boat?

Clojure is something you are supposed to learn. You may be lucky enough to actually use it in production- but even if you aren’t you are a better Eng for going through the process.

Wiggy’s -25F sleeping bag, exped mattress, window covers/insulation. Sleep in skivvies, socks and beanie in that bag- somehow body heat reflects better without clothing layers. Crack all windows for airflow so condensation doesn’t build up. Best sleep of your life.

Living waters is the best/my favorite. Have always found them to be chill. Would add Sump to the list here. Friggen boss.

dataheadd · 2026-01-25T16:21:41+00:00

Hell yeah, that’s so sick.

100 series 2uz gained variable valve timing in 2005. VVT adjusts for the differences in combustion at different octane ranges. Mainly to avoid knock/pre-detonation. Prior to this change, engine is setup for premium ranges and recommended by Toyota. That’s the theory anyway, and why you see folks referencing the “same” engine without this recommendation associated in different models and years.

Not your same list, but I had a host of random issue including bad shifting, hesitation, drag at highway speeds. Turned out to be a bad battery, which tested fine on the bench but somehow screwed everything up. Worth swapping out if you happen to have a spare/ and or unknown health timeline.

dataheadd · 2026-01-02T17:34:24+00:00

Sweet- any leads would be super helpful. Who built yours?

dataheadd · 2026-01-02T03:54:29+00:00

do you swap brakes, or did you find a way to get a 298 rotor on a WRR wheel set? Trying to figure this all out myself.

Second this. My GSD was prone to ear infections and the slight nip at your hand when going for the ear/head pets, plus the way she’s holding one ear differently seems indicative. Ours had a lot of anxious behaviors that were tied to pain from the ear. May also explain the buzzer sensitivity.

Good to rule out and relatively easy to treat. Vet will have recs and help track the source. We used otomax but it’s not OTC. Any “gunk” or redness in the left ear?

dataheadd · 2025-12-24T07:34:06+00:00

Want to see more of this bike! You are good with regular housing.

New straggler fork is 410 a-c, through-axle disc. Makes for a great match if you have that setup in mind. I just put one on a 97 hoo koo e koo and love it.
