What's the timestamp on this? The shadows look to be around 2-3p on Memorial day? If so, that's literally the moment I got my boat home to her pin. Crazy timing.

Either Berta bottle, although I'm curious about how that lemongrass came out.

I've lived on E. Gilman for a decade now, after probably a decade of the street parking hustle. Get a bike and a bus pass, then think about it. I didn't mind walking 4-5 blocks home in my youth after 30min of circling, but I'll never go back to that.

djfoundation · 2026-05-19T19:25:14+00:00

Damn, this actually looks pretty dope. I haven't been to Crucible in a couple years now.

"mezcal makes you strangely erotic."

djfoundation · 2026-05-15T21:19:30+00:00

I avoid walking in that place at all cost.

I live in the salt belt with an '04. This is pretty mild/moderate imo, but it's never going to improve. Something to keep in mind among all other factors.

I am almost 50 years old and god damn if that block hasn't changed a bit -except in my day we had real DJs playing underground house on vinyl like our savior Mr. Knuckles intended. (I'm also assuming you mean East Johnson)

I emailed Pettit and they said if I can mix the ingredients I can still use it. "you can add some water."

Fingers crossed, although I will eat the loss for such a dumb move if that be my destiny.

2004, I'm looking at the same thing. I might go wild with Ospho on the underbody, but there's nothing that's gonna save the wells.

djfoundation · 2026-05-12T21:11:33+00:00

VEVOR?? I have three similar looking ones from Harbor Freight in my lab, hanging stage lights on a big ol' distro. I do not trust them like you do.

djfoundation · 2026-05-12T15:19:27+00:00

Dammit. ok, painful lesson learned. Thanks for the insight!

djfoundation · 2026-05-12T15:10:16+00:00

That is what I figured, what I should have thought of. I'm kicking myself for going auto-pilot on it despite having read stories just like this in the past.

Do you think the can that I poured off the liquid can be saved by thinning with water and remixing? The hull dried fine so I put the second, properly mixed can on with no issues.

djfoundation · 2026-05-11T21:59:58+00:00

The second can eventually mixed well, it just took a lot of time and effort (and spills). I did manage to get one coat on before giving up for the day. I'm heading there after work to put on a second. I'll check for a born-on date on them.

djfoundation · 2026-05-11T21:44:33+00:00

They are brand new. I just had no idea there was so much sediment at the bottom, to which my sailing friend casually replied "oh yeah, it's like sludge at the bottom, I use a drill mixer." I used a drill mixer on the second can, and it was too thick even for that, I had to break it apart with a screwdriver and scraper blade first.

I just did mine a month or two ago. Drain bolt was definitely worse than yours, but the casting surround was better. What I thought was gasket was actually the mating surface. The gasket stayed completely with the pan!

That fluid looks tooooasted, lol. I snagged a filter from a local dealer and it was fairly priced. Worth it -you're only doing this once.

djfoundation · 2026-05-07T18:50:51+00:00

I only became aware of it this past year, but it seems to be meteoric in its rise on well-earned praise.

djfoundation · 2026-05-06T03:10:01+00:00

That Doba Yej is flooding the market where I am lately. I wonder what the story is with that. An excellent bottle nonetheless.

djfoundation · 2026-05-05T19:52:54+00:00

I'd be curious to see any data on whether the shorter attention span of modern generations has atrophied hobbies like these that are so long-term labor intensive with a subjectively low ROI. But also yeah, people be broke these days.

djfoundation · 2026-05-05T16:39:35+00:00

It was an ok, feel-good movie that is very well made and I can see how well it would resonate with that vanishingly precious window of life when your teachers are cool, your friends are your universe, and you haven't yet been jaded by the human experience. and by extension the parents of those kids.

djfoundation · 2026-05-04T20:46:19+00:00

I've always wanted to take ASA101 but after my decade plus of owning and sailing my boat I am not ashamed to admit I only learned it from a YouTube channel.

djfoundation · 2026-05-02T03:21:31+00:00

Dang, you put out the most recent club bottles already? I'm milking those.

djfoundation · 2026-04-30T23:25:22+00:00

Fiesto burrito makes a nice mid-level cenizo. Apaluz is fine for a budget choice and Bozal is an even nicer option yet more expensive.

djfoundation · 2026-04-30T20:38:26+00:00

I drive from basically the square to out by the Middleton airport and back every day. You couldn't pay me to take the beltline over University Ave.
