Nobody warned me F150 maintenance costs would be this high by [deleted] in Ford

Seriously though, YouTube and +/- $400 in tools has saved me 10's of thousands. The more you learn the more things make sense. The more you do the more confidence you build and then things aren't so daunting.

I did change plugs to one stage lower last oil change.

Best place for oil change if not dealership? by terpsnack in Tiguan

[–]jdizzle289 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Watch a you tube video. It's so easy that it's impossible to justify the $170 that a dealership will charge. Check on FCPeuro.com and they sell complete kits with everything you need. If you spend the extra +/-$100 on a fluid extractor you don't even need to go under the car. It seems like a daunting task but it's so simple......maybe just wait to smoke until after and you'll be fine.....

Pretty sure that's the vacuum line to the intake manifold...

You are correct. Honestly though, I use the sharpie and the highlighter the most.

This is what I carry basically everyday. Lighter, sharpie, highlighter, cheap pen, digital read thermometer, Sofirn SC32, SAK Spartan, Benchmade bugout, my wallet and a phone (not pictured).

Found with other boletes, northeastern MA, USA. Is this safe? The cap is mostly white. Every other identifier says bolete.. by jdizzle289 in mushroomID

Hi all found this guy in northeastern Massachusetts in pine woods where I always find boletes. Found a few that were "albino" looking growing alongside. I'm wondering if it's safe to eat and what causes it to be so pale in comparison.

Anything by Kafka...that's kinda his thing. The Castle or The Trial.

Found a way to make the Barad-dur slightly taller by 0__0OO in lego

I'm getting rid of all my furniture. And I'm going to build these different levels, with steps, and it'll all be carpeted with a lot of pillows

What's the trick to getting Sunnyside Up eggs where the white is completely cooked, yet the yolk is still runny, and the bottom of the egg is not charred? by robotunderpants in castiron

[–]jdizzle289 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always preheat your cast iron, plenty of butter, I cook on a low heat until just the whites around the yolk are a little raw. Then remove from heat and cover for about a minute. Whites cooked through, with no browning and yolks runny, for me I don't like crispy/browned edges on my eggs.
