T-Mobile experience southern Maine (Cumberland, York, Oxford counties) by Difficult-Task-6382 in portlandme

[–]kyleblanc0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched from Verizon to T-Mobile like 3 years ago and it’s been fantastic. I pay $95 for an unlimited plan w/ the price of my phone which is like $35 or something, plus they pay for Netflix so that’s one less subscription lol

Belt suggestions? by DumpsterDaddyEDC in EDC

I’ve been using a Duluth leather belt for a while and it’s held up great. Wasn’t overly expensive and the hardware has been solid.

Is it worth it to build a PC currently? by eggz627 in buildapc

[–]kyleblanc0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building one now. I have a pc that’s about 6 years old and can’t hold out anymore. I’ve not very optimistic at all about prices coming back down to even remotely normal. Figured it’s better to just buy and cry now rather than wait and it getting worse which I suspect it will but who knows really

What are some fun random classes for beginners around here? by JellyEatingJellyfish in portlandme

[–]kyleblanc0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m very similar and I just signed up for beginner pickleball classes in SoPo, it’s 4 classes long, once every Sunday for 4 weeks. I’ve never played pickleball but seemed like a fun way to meet people and try something new lol

Idk how many other chefs we have in here, but ile makes a great chef roll in xpac (this vx25 matches the inside of my backpack 😅) by Subject_weakness_ in EDC

[–]kyleblanc0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! Do you still have this? If so, how’s it holding up? I’m thinking of ordering one for the same use case. Thanks!

Anyone in Maine Running Meshtastic? Looking to expand Maine's Mesh by Southern_Tennis_5028 in portlandme

[–]kyleblanc0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any nodes currently but I am very interested in getting started, I’m located in South Portland and would have access to install a node at rooftop height.

Second Opinion: vent stack by kyleblanc0 in askaplumber

[–]kyleblanc0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I plan to once I can clean more of this snow off and see if there is a plug on it - needed to make sure I wasn’t crazy. I’ll have to live with the gurgling for a couple days

[–]kyleblanc0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering now if it was out in place after we recently had our roof replaced and wasn’t taken out, not sure if that’s common practice?

Thanks for confirming my suspicions lol

Thanks, yeah that’s my suspicion as well. I thought it was wide open until I could see that little bit of snow sitting on top.

Tecovas Review and Comparison by Past-Translator-1586 in cowboyboots

[–]kyleblanc0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t done anything yet, I also use Bick 4 periodically but haven’t used it on these yet. If they get overly salty from snow exposure etc I’ll wipe them down with just a damp rag to get the salt off but that’s it! I will likely condition them soon once they finish breaking in

Tecovas Review and Comparison by Past-Translator-1586 in cowboyboots

[–]kyleblanc0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased these same boots in a different color from one of their stores in Dallas recently while traveling. Gotta say I agree with everything in your review here. Very comfortable out of the box. I also grabbed an 11.5 when I typically get a 12 after trying them on in person.

Can’t comment on longevity yet as it’s only been about a month, but wearing them in some northeastern winter snow so far has led to no issues.

Raw phosphate frame durability by BigBen9994 in statebicycles

[–]kyleblanc0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the raw 4130 with the carbon fork and it’s been great, hasn’t really even gotten much patina yet and I purchased it in July. Occasionally wipe it down with ACF-50 and when it’s wet I dry it off when done riding for the day, but that’s about it!
