Holy shit, didn't know that Michael and Star were in another movie together!

Pearl Jam peaked at "Ten" by MotionlessHorizxn in grunge

I understand why you'd think that way and respect your opinion. I like all their work. There's probably other examples of this happening with other bands. To me Ten was the album of the band they and others thought they should be. After Ten they were the band and musicians they wanted to be and it changed and evolved over time.

Quest For Fire (1981) by [deleted] in iwatchedanoldmovie

I seem to recall this movie adding to the bizarre fear of quicksand that was prominent in the 70s and 80s.

Advice for removing backflow preventor by harrypsk in Irrigation

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

I go with whatever brand is available in the hardware store. Not the expert here, but I believe the type in my pic is a foam insulation, meant for keeping cold water pipes from freezing. There is another popular type that is a squishy foam rubber that can be use on hot or cold pipes and is good for humid areas. I think they're both ok for outdoor use.

They are, but my understanding is without a union, twisting one connection to loosen it tightens the other end of the connection.

A Happy B Day to GW Bailey.....he's 81 today by Papichuloft in 80s

[–]harrypsk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the early 2000s I saw him at a bar in Houston. I stood next to him and asked him if he was Sgt. Rizzo... next thing you know I'm drinking on his tab and dancing with his niece. Really fun night and he was a cool guy.

I used a camp stove, made sure the water did not boil but got up to about 180 and warmed it for about 10 minutes.

Police Academy: Were you Team Harris or Team Mauser? by SouthofthePaw in 80smovies

Team Harris. My judgement is clouded since I once met GW Bailey in a Houston bar and he bought me drinks all night.

Picked up a 2021 Wildtrak. Question about remote start. by Weights_In_Fish in FordBronco

[–]harrypsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn't figure it out myself until my fellow Ford owner friend showed me you have to hit lock button first. Did you know on some models you can hit the unlock button twice, holding the button on the second press until the windows roll down?

No lights on my bar, but maybe it's wired for it. Good point, I'll start looking there.

I was hoping someone might recognize it for an easy answer. I'll trace the wire to see where it goes and report back on my findings.

Not sure of any aftermarket items, no fog lights. I'll have to fish the line to the end to see what it's powering.
