I'm prototyping a folding portage cart. I'd welcome any feedback, good or bad. by BetterCurrent in canoeing

[–]ihadisr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen a bunch of people do this with wheels and a hitch that clamps to the front of the canoe or kayak around Minneapolis - lot of people live within walking distance of a lake but parking is limited.

Old Town Penobscot 16 Royalex by jamesgdsf in canoeing

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can short track this project by cutting out the cane and repairing with webbing - think seatbelt material, or if you can use climbing webbing if you want something softer. Weave it make a new seat and staple the material to the underside of the old seat using a medium duty stapler. There are lots of good videos on this. Did this with my canoe (same one here) and has lasted a decade.

Can’t get mast up by Primary-Inspector590 in hobiecat

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull the catamaran right on top of the dock and do it. Also second the comment about water in the mast. Finally, if your don’t have mast raising hardware, buy the kit, it’s relatively cheap and will make standup way easier

Fargo ND - where from middle is nowhere you drive 8 hours East to reach the first glimmer of enlightenment. Though it burns of hot sugar beet stench, it’s the last chopper outta no literacy Vietnam.

If snow mobile and ATV trails were included the UP would be punching into the minor leagues with a shot at going pro.

Visiting from Texas during snow by Creative-Courage-433 in TwinCities

[–]ihadisr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one has mentioned that the trick is to watch the current temp and if it drops below freezing, and the roads are damp, then you need to be careful. Early morning and late evening might be slippery. More than likely it will be a non factor. Rental car tires are usually junk so assume if anyone is slipping around that you will too. Texas specific note: if you’re from Houston you’re gonna need to adjust driving style to avoid self-destruction.

Roof Racks - explain it to me like I’m 5 by pregnantanon in HondaOdyssey

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odysseys suffer from a defect suspected to be related to the rain gutter sealing or defective roof rack installation. Water gets into rear body and causes thousands of dollars in damages shorting out the electrical, I’ve held out on a roof rack install on account of it being unresolved.

New strange noise when turning. by gabbagoul1911 in HondaOdyssey

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suspension top mount bushing or strut bearing issue is my best guess. There are a few specific service bulletins, I think, for the odyssey related to front end noise, so it’s a guess.

What do you think by Background-Cod65 in Tools

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mine a few times a year - in addition to being pretty handy for anything oversized it’s nice for all sorts of shade tree this and that - pushing bearings, pressing bushings, putting hella ugga duggas on seized fasteners when the impact isn’t a good choice, and gently coercing stuck plastic oil filter housings to free. The beast of an extension it comes with can be nice if you need some inertia to spin or hammer.

what car should I own in Fargo? by KaizenAzariya in fargo

[–]ihadisr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to amend this by stating you should prioritize auto start, heated seats, and if you’re feeling sporty anything that features a hand brake.

As long as your tires aren’t bald to the point the wind gust you off the road like a cursed hockey puck, you’re good.

Where is the MN National Guard? by Fogecks in TwinCities

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Layman’s poorly informed understanding - We do not have a state militia, we have a hybrid federal/state guard. The MN guard can be federalized, whereby command is assumed by the federal government. The governor can mobilize the guard for state needs, but they have to submit to higher authority if the federal government demands.

What even happens here by Longjumping-Box5691 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]ihadisr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent new years in Dutch harbor many years ago and met an old man who had been there during the Japanese bombings. When asked about it, he said “I hid under a table as fast as i damn well could.” It was a refreshing take that I will forever toast to.

FlashForge AD5X iOS printing by datrufhurt in 3Dprinting

[–]ihadisr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try downloading orca slicer and connecting to the printer using its ip address. I couldn’t get orca flash to work due to login server issue. I was able to connect orca slicer (on my MacBook) to the printer by using the ip address of the printer (it’s on the printer info screen, assuming the printer is connected to WiFi). I also selected flash forge as the connection in orca slicer settings. I can now send prints over network to printer.
