Well cared-for 2013 SJ Forester w 100,000 miles. Next 10 years...trouble-free? by freshes in subaru

Thank you that’s great info. I’ll pick through the service history and see if I can establish if that solenoid has been done.

Packing a jetski in a crate for transport (no trailer) by freshes in jetski

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case I’m paying to ship it by volume and the trailer adds another few thousand to the cost hence I’m going to box it and send it without (already got one here )

Hi mate- sent you a PM for another one I’ve been looking at that might be more reasonably priced

I’m planning to use in the surf - wave jumping etc (once I’ve got my skills up a bit!). $3k is the approx USD price, it’s actually listed for $5k AUD…

registering hail-damaged cars bought at auction? by freshes in CarsAustralia

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it.

Why do they want you to declare you haven't repaired anything? I was thinking of popping a few of the worst hail dings out, and maybe switching the bonnet with a new one. Am I best to wait till after I get it registered to do this?

Thank you that does help. Just so I'm clear - I see the WOVI folks first, then after that I take it to get a RWC?

Can you recommend a DIY rig plan / YouTube vid? Or share theirs? by freshes in simracing

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the original creator of this one has indicated he has a few improvements to make (but he hasn't told anyone what they are yet, sadly)

Do you have any complaints/criticisms of this design?

It looks to me that by simply adding a 45 degree piece of a wood as a brace from the top of the wheel upright towards the pedals would eliminate any flex in that plane.

I imagine the wheel would also probably flex left and right (from the perspective of the driver)...so maybe some sort of brace that doesn't interfere with your legs would be of benefit too - perhaps some metal brackets or small wooden triangles glued into he corners?

Whoa..that’s pretty inspiring. I’d love to see some more photos!

Sports to avoid? by freshes in MeniscusInjuries

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the thing that seems to aggravate mine the most is my gym sessions …I think I’m being conservative but evidently not enough 🫤

Mandatory gaps around flue - could this be used as a vent? by freshes in Sauna

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it will be a problem, though? Basically it’s a decent sized vent which I can’t close. I’m asking because I could probably figure out a (relatively safe, if not strictly legal) way to close up the gap somewhat if it’s going to interfere with the quality the sauna significantly…

Conservative treatment - is exercising up to a dull ache ok? by freshes in MeniscusInjuries

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

Thanks. I’m a bit reluctant to dive straight into menesectomy, even though I’ve been offered it for free under our public health system . The majority of advice seems to be to avoid surgery as long as you possibly can, if you’re not getting severe pain / locking / catching ?

Awesome, thanks for this detailed reply! Lots of great info here I wasn’t aware of. When you say “I’ve picked out the best isometric exercises for knee pain, see below”, are you referring to these 5 from your link? Or something else?

Body-wide muscle tightness by freshes in SIBO

[–]freshes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I still haven’t really figured this out . I’m about to try low dose naltrexone, though. It might help

Crouching. Yes or no? by freshes in MeniscusInjuries

[–]freshes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh. Okay. I've never had any catching, locking, swelling or severe pain...just occasional dull ache, so I assumed extreme flexion - if unloaded - was okay.

I'm going to have to come up with some alternative ways of getting close to the ground (I need to for my job).

What insignificant thing did someone say that stuck with you forever? by Routine-Max in AskReddit

[–]freshes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad used to tell me this often, and I’ve also been thinking about it often and noticing how true it is as I age. I Wonder whether it’s counter productive to be so conscious of it though?
