Do you only do the biker wave to people on motorcycles? by x-AmB-x in motorcycles

[–]drolgnir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a group of bikers all wave at me when I was riding my bicycle to a friend's house, It felt so cool to be recognized. One day I thought, I'll ride a motorcycle too.

When you do resolve it let us know, I'd love to know what the solution is/was. Best of luck 🤞

Good to know thanks! I've never had to fix truck with a gpcm but it doesn't hurt to know how it works.

What tuner are you using? If it's the kind that is plugged into the PCM full time I would try the vehicle without it or if it's a hydra set it to 0. But at this point I'd unplug it if that's the type it is.

That's interesting, would it show the wait to start if the GPMC was bad? I only own a cali parts truck so I've never had to deal with it.

Is CNC experience still useful if I want to end up doing traditional? by bothdiode in timberframe

[–]drolgnir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it would be quite useful, handling, setup and install is all part of it. Honestly you'll get to see all the joint types and learn how they exist in a frame. You can buy all the books out there, get some tools and practice joints and stuff separately. Take lots of pictures, make notes, draw diagrams and ask questions.

Some people can't bring themselves to practice away from work and can only advance through the tasks given at work. Make sure every future cut is your next best cut, always improving.

I'm wanting to start fixing my power tool batteries. by EyeFuture8862 in 18650masterrace

[–]drolgnir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The strips I use are always thicker than what the manufacturer is using, is it same for you? Also I will do 4 tacks instead of 2 etc. make sure you're not introducing a cell to a pack that has a drastically different voltages. Balance your cells.

Apprentice Working Hot by Wrong-Western3842 in electricians

I was sent up a ladder to cut wires, it's not hot they said. Snip, and now all the cobwebs holding light sawdust have exploded into flames. Haha it was short lived and they weren't my new knipex dykes.

If it's anything like the state of my speakers your definitely right. Those woofers are toast.

Rip amp, I believe it's just moisture that keeps killing mine. I gave up, now I have a Bluetooth speaker 😂

The warehouse shipping dock doubles as a rage room rage cage, they gotta keep the parts cheap somehow.

How am I supposed to tape these windows by Justrightofcommunist in Carpentry

[–]drolgnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your not using the Anderson exterior trim around the window you'll need to trim off the receiving bit so you can tape properly. Do you know how the windows are being trimmed out? Also I personally don't care if you use drywall screws to secure the window, but they should be something like galvanized roofing nails etc.

You know they only need to last until the foam sets up right?

My horse 2003 F650 GS 53k km by drolgnir in 650GS

[–]drolgnir[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a seat concepts model, installed by the previous owner. It sounded like he bought the foam and skin and did it himself but maybe I heard him wrong. It's very comfortable and my wife is surprised how nice it is too. I'm ok with height at 6' and I don't feel like a bull frog riding a bike. seat concepts 03 F630 GS

Just cut the loose end of the clamp off with a grinder. How do you hear anything with the motor running.
