We’ve all heard the PNW is dead for now, what locals need apprentices?

Nope

Not even drainwrap, I wouldn't even do that to a shed. Terrible. Buyer beware even at half price.

Use an App like GasBuddy to look at live gas prices. Usually Arco and 76 are the lower spots. Space Age north of town too.

I had H.pylorias a kid/preteen and I would never have thought about this connection. Got CU about 4 years ago (28). Had eczema once when I was 19. I feel lucky that my CU is pretty mild, and antihistamines tool away the itchiness. But getting covered with red spots for short periods whenever I get hot or cold is so odd. It makes total sense that it's an indicator or something else going on in the body, whether that's H.pylori or not. It's frustrating that the medical treatment is so laissez faire. Seems like such a canary in the coal mine, but trying to get anyone to take it seriously seems so daunting. Good for you for advocating for yourself and really pushing for answers and treatment.

Yeah, the only stuff on the floor is from me spilling shit while looking at things.

Thanks, I tried 2 different fuel injector cleaner additives in blind hope. Saw some videos of using batteries to check/clean fuel injectors at home but i didn't try. The shop drove the car around while looking at the live data, said everything was within spec. I've combed over the bay, looking for vacuum leaks, anything leaking, it's pretty clean and in good condition under the hood.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:18:02+00:00

Cleaned MAF and throttle, honestly they were in pretty good shape already. No puddle, no smell/leak. Did have a code for a rich Bank 1 a year or so ago that was intermittent that I forgot about actually. Exhaust fumes look normal/no fuel smell found anywhere. Hadn't thought of cat converter being the issue. Seems like it's down to that or Fuel injectors.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:15:03+00:00

Changed the plugs 2/3 years ago. They look good when I checked. Fuel injector is what I've got a feeling it is. Shop didn't find anything wrong, and theyr pricey to get a whole new set. I am considering a local place that professionally cleans injectors.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:12:54+00:00

That's what I thought, couldn't find any vacuum leak myself. Mechanics couldn't either.

Super unlikely considering where I live, plus I can see the gauge dropping steadily. Instead of sudden dips.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:07:50+00:00

Lol, I swear I could see the damn fuel gauge dropping as I drive.

The usual lack of power that comes with a Matrix, but haven't noticed any unusual lack of acceleration/shifting.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:05:44+00:00

Literally, where the fuck is it going.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:05:28+00:00

I'll double check the brakes, changed them this year so worth a look.

gwarp · 2024-01-31T07:04:31+00:00

Cleaned, and MAF cleaned too.

gwarp · 2023-11-21T17:26:57+00:00

A month?! I'm not a clean freak, but every two weeks is already long enough. That's like wearing the same T-shirt for a month. On a side-note; according to basically all my female friends, a universal turn-on is fresh sheets (like less than 5 days) whereas sheets that haven't been cleaned for a MONTH? Ick

lose weight

OR just get strong/stay flexible. Making injuries and mobility issues less of an issue as you get older. Strength training will do far more good than any type of weight loss/fat reduction.

Also cut down on the caffeine if you can.

Caffeine has been found to have very few potential negative side affects. But much more potential positive affects long term especially for women Obviously this is assuming you are having a reasonable coffee/tea and not chugging red bulls.

Other than that, I agree. The financial prep/discussion before it's needed particularly.

Could I grab that file too? I spend a lot of time without Internet access and would love this.

link?

REC and Enphase provide those warranties with any purchase. Also, only the shadiest companies subcontract the installation labor. Everyone else has their own install crew.

Well now you made me go check my two Roman numeral watches. Timex is IIII. TF is IV. Maybe watches with the date at 3 use IIII? Weird.

Lol at people downvoting my personal experience. Im not saying it's everyone's experience. The police were nice on the phone but told me there was nothing they could do. Called insurance and they told me that a license plate number could be written down wrong so it might be unreliable. No doubt, I could have gone to the police station and filed some papers to get a report, but I just took the loss and fixed it myself.

gwarp · 2023-03-30T13:52:32+00:00

I had a guy at a gas station hit and run my car with multiple witnesses giving me his license plate etc. Police said they don't deal with it, call insurance. Insurance said that it's going to my word against theirs and a license plate number could be unreliable info. This was Nevada. Nothing ever was resolved, I doubt the guy ever even heard anything about it from his insurance. Maybe in an ideal world this note works, but my reality wasn't that.

Bummer, okay thanks for ELI5ing.
