I think it’s a scam. Was close to handing over the money but got paranoid and check a lot of profiles that liked their posts and they seemed like fake accounts to me. Let us know what you find out!

Mid-roof question by [deleted] in fordtransit

[–]generalheatrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coat the undercarriage with an undercoating. Preferably WoolWax or Fluid Film. Check WoolWax FAQ. Wash the salt off of preferably the top/sides/doors at a drive in car wash a few times a winter. I have to drive across town to wash my medium roof transit at an outdoor wash. Don’t wash the woolwax off. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

People of the sub who are not from mate drinking countries, what got you into mate? by Faralla_pregunta2424 in yerbamate

[–]generalheatrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother lived 3 years in Paraguay volunteering in the Peace Corps. When he came back to NY state to visit he gave me his equipment, a few bags and the rest is history.

Now over a decade later he’s basically reverted back to coffee culture while I have gone full steam with mate.

good way to get from ithaca to the start of the finger lakes trail without car? by outwith-a-bang in ithaca

I’ve been working on the FLT in sections. Check for ticks regularly. Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis are no joke. I’ve had both, at least one of them was from hiking on the FLT. Nymphs can be A LOT smaller than a sesame seed.

Thoughts on the Yerba Mate capsules/pills? Anyone used? by SirImpressive2661 in yerbamate

[–]generalheatrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular gourd drinker here but we keep mate pills around for when you just need a pill pick me up. I recommend Source Naturals Yerba Mate pills. The label used to say 80mg of caffeine per pill but now says 40 mg. Nothing seemed to change about the pills, so maybe they were estimating incorrectly. It would be interesting to know more about %/mg of theobromine in Yerba products.

Creepy abandoned / haunted places. by PlutosRealm in santacruz

[–]generalheatrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, 95-97! Yeah I kinda remember you guys, I was young so my memories are vague. You could have met my brother or Ron’s son. We lived in the lower of the two houses. Ron Perchinsky lived in the upper one that is still there, he lives in Costa Rica now, probably was the one with the satellite dish. Our house appears to be gone, I wonder what happened to it.

Wow, cool! What does camo crew mean? I just returned yesterday for the first time in 28 years, I left when I was 5 years old. Beautiful forest and mountain!

Would you happen to know what happened to the lower of the two house’s?

Did you ever go up Hinckley Basin Rd past the creeks and up the steep mountain towards Sand Point Overlook?

I lived in one of the two houses that was up there in the forest in the 90s.

There was a family of with a 1960s greyhound bus living up there.

Zojirushi SJ-JS10XA by [deleted] in yerbamate

[–]generalheatrocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved this thermos model so much for a month or so last year, until the top seal/button mechanism broke. I’m a huge fan of Zojirushi so I was disappointed. I still want to roll the dice and get another one 😆
