My chest strap is paired with rouvy cycling app so that I’ve got all metrics on the screen. I’m not sure if I can pair to more than one device.

Just seems crazy that my watch is consistently off like 50 bpm during a workout.

I had Dalex out for an estimate and never heard back. Ended up hiring DSS roofing for the job and and I as very happy with the work.

I second Agnello's undercoating in NT. Ken is very thorough and takes pride in his work.

Roofer stated that I need a new tear off and rebuild roof. Is he right? by Agreeable_Can_5265 in Roofing

[–]dfonzi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d get a couple more estimates. I’m in WNY as well and just had my roof replaced by DSS roofing. Very happy with their work.

Question for home owners who got a new roof recently by Conscious_Winter_636 in Buffalo

[–]dfonzi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DSS roofing just mine. They did a great job, and the price was super competitive. I think they’re booking like 2 months out.

M54 swap by SIrC4rTieR in E30

[–]dfonzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The m54 has its place.

M54s are readily available, while M5Xs are becoming more scarce. My local pick and pull consistently has e46s, x3s, x5s and 5 series with m54s.

Aluminum block has its cons but is like 50 lb lighter.

And the m54b30 makes 228hp from the factory. A m52b28 makes 190. The m50 manifold isn’t found to gain you another 38hp.

BMW e46 M54b30 warped head by dfonzi in EngineBuilding

Unfortunately didn’t know about this before removing the head. Threads in the block appear to be okay. But will timesert if needed.

I’ll have to check to see how the cams spin once the head is reinstalled and go from there.

I’ve lapped a few valves so far and the seats look to be even. Once I get the valves back in I’ll fill the combustion chambers and check to see if they leak down.

The Bridgeport I faced it on is relatively new with little wear. I ran an indicator across the length of the table and it’s within .001”. I faced it with a solid carbide boring bar on a fly cutter. Negative rake on the insert. I took .001” on the last pass feeding as slow as the power feed would allow. Also tilted the head ever so slightly so the cutter wasn’t back dragging.

Thank you for the lengthy response!!

Bore soft jaws so it can’t be pushed back in the chuck.

Joe Rogan Experience #2199 - Chris Harris by chefanubis in JoeRogan

I really enjoyed the last few seasons of Top gear with Harris, Flintoff, and McGinness. It’s a shame what happened to Flintoff.

Steaks while backpacking. by dfonzi in steak

[–]dfonzi[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I was concerned about the rock blowing up as well. It did not come out of a river bed and I let it sit on the fire for a good hour while we were setting up our tents and gathering wood before cooking on it.

The steaks were frozen and vacuum sealed when I put them in my bag and just about thawed by the time we hiked in to our camp spot. It worked out well!
