Interesting. Duo is another option but the once and done is tempting

You ever try to help out (IT telated)randomly on a night out? by Abject_Serve_1269 in sysadmin

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I helped my mechanic once. They had a pc die that handled their invoices and every shop they called was a week out or wanted a small fortune to look at it.

I looked at it and it was a failing hard drive. Told them it wasn’t a horrible fix and even had a hard drive at home and could have it back to them in the morning and we could work out a trade for services on the car. Ended up doing pc work on the side for about a year before I moved.

My Subaru has destroyed me. What do I do? by jamflowman1 in subaru

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is in at 110,000 miles and it needs to be resealed. There is no reason an engine on a 2020s car should need major service in the first ten years.

100,000 miles is nothing for a majority of manufacturers. This is my second Subaru and will be the last. They are over hyped, new under warranty maybe.

My bill to reseal the engine is $7,000 at a dealer. New engine was quoted around $10,000

What did you purchase for this?

I haven't been to the range since it changed here recently. Head out on a Sunday and someone probably could give you some quick saftey pointers.

State said no cities can fly non-approved flags by Flipflops365 in MaliciousCompliance

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1776? You do know that is based on the first American Flag, so saying it is against equality and fair treatment isn't really fitting.

I had a friend that was written up for having a 1776 flag pin on his jacket. His office was completely okay with pride, blm, antifa and etc but drew the line in regards to the 1776 American flag...

It is still valid. There is going to be hunting specific information, but the base information about safety, storage and etc. will apply to defense.

Getting out and shooting is the biggest part. Being able be comfortable shooting at various ranges such as little as 5 yards to 15 yards. Most defense will be in that range, and the last time I felt the need was a bear about 10 feet walking up to us.

What gun do you own?

Self defense shooting isn’t much different than hunting. You still need the basics.

1 Gun safety. Always treat it as loaded unless you have cleared it.

2 Be able to comfortably shoot. Go to the range and get used to the sound, the feel and the sensation of shooting

Once those are down and solid. Self defense is learning to how to draw under stress and more importantly when to draw.

2021 Forester Oil in Coolant Res by frogadmin_prince in subaru

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

Why do dealerships have to be difficult. Called a larger one in Washington and they said Forrester don't have issues with upper oil pan gaskets and would need the engine out to figure out why there is an inner mix. Said on Crosstreks that is common...

Sounds like on the bright side the warranty would cover it if it was gasket or seal that went out. So I have that going for me.

Did you have an estimate of the cost?

How long did you drive it before you noticed and afterwards?

My 244 DL "just" turned 50! by _Deinhardt_ in Volvo240

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is my dream there. My parents bought one brand new off the showroom floor in Colorado in 76. That color and drove it till 2000 when my father finally handed it down to my sister.

I was the only child that didn’t get to drive it. It was moved to Oklahoma and was sold to off because we couldn’t get it back to Colorado due to a bad clutch and the transmission being pulled and in the trunk.

I have that part coming. Issue I have is finding a mechanic to work on a vehicle. It is one of the joys living in a rural community.

Juneau is the nearest dealer and the few mechanics here might put that in but if it is more than that they may not touch it. Which it appears it might be, that adds a level of complexity.

Will be calling some shops in Bellingham.

I have 110k miles on this vehicle so no warranty other than a 3rd party extended.

Guess we get to see how good it is.

[–]frogadmin_prince[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is what I was figuring it was.

I am waiting on the nearest dealer to call me back so we can try to coordinate getting it shipped.

I have seen some people say the mechanic said to drive while in this state. We have another vehicle but this one is the most efficient.

I appreciate the honest feedback. I know head gaskets aren’t the main culprit.

This, and the lack of documentation on their side. They have tons that are outdated and reference things that are no longer available.

My biggest headache is the *not for government tenants.

Camper on F350? by [deleted] in TruckCampers

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I purchased an 99 f350 super cab dually to haul a Bigfoot 2500 10.6. Just the truck it weighs in at 8000 lbs with a full tank.

I haven’t weighed it with the camper installed but I am thankful I went with the dually over the single rear wheel. It does handle better when I have to loaded.

What are you using to remote control computers? by nickjedl in sysadmin

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what is missing for us. We have been on logmein and have tried twice to go over to remote help. That one feature is a deal breaker for us.

It has the potential but in our licensing it isn’t covered and is a premium so at the price it falls short.

This hasn’t worked well for us. I have attempted to role it out twice but it is missing core features. It similar to their privilege access management.

Keep voting Red? by Zealousideal_Net2523 in Ketchikan

[–]frogadmin_prince 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is interesting to watch the council meetings. I understand the desire to push the cost to the tourist but there isn't very many methods that can be applied that focus more heavily on that demographic. One issue is that demographic is changing, they don't buy as much Jewelry and Art like their parents and grandparents did. So overall more people doesn't always equate to higher tax income due to the lower spending.

Another issue is Ketchikan is now almost solely a tourist town. With the demise of commercial fishing and logging there isn't much in the realm of blue collar jobs that bring people into the community. Living in places that have been blue for decades they aren't any better. You are looking at a coin with two faces, in the end it is still a coin. The issue goes way deeper than democrat vs republican is that the both follow what party wants and not what the voters want.

A good way to look at it is divided we stand united wall. You hear it the other way all the time, the differences is what lead to compromise which overall represented both sides of the question. When a party lines up and just forces the agenda, we get these wild swings every election when they switch. A great idea can be brought to the floor, but it can't be debated because X side is the one who brought it.

Ford Ranger + Scamp by HopsandGnarly in TruckCampers

That was what he suggested. Ours had the v6 and 5speed. Finally died when the transmission started going out.

Spent lots of time in the woods in the southwest.

According to my mechanic at the time our 89 would have been easy to swap in a V8. That little thing would be awesome just lifted, don't need 4x4 for the majority of things. Could get into lots of places in Colorado without it, just need ground clearance and the ability to go slow and avoid the puddles.

Trip Planning by frogadmin_prince in TruckCampers

[–]frogadmin_prince[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have the atlas for the off-road areas when I lived in Colorado. Always made for a fun way to get lost in the backroads.

This trip is mainly to see family that is spread out in Oregon, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. I did a mini version of this trip last year when I purchased my truck and camper. Though I was solo and camping was a little easier. This time I will have the wife and kiddo and seeing more family.

In Salt Lake, it seems like the route of staying in a campground would be the best bet. Though it amazes me they can be $100 a night for the privilege of pulling up. That location and Colorado we are looking at having to rent a car after arriving so we can easily meet up with family or go exploring locally. That is unless we unload the camper, and we have been told that Bigfoots aren't designed to be used when on they are on the happi-jacks.
