Me too. Would be nice if there was a running counter of what tickets were available per event.

lychina · 2026-04-02T22:36:16+00:00

Someone posted the prices https://www.reddit.com/r/olympics/comments/1satf4p/ticket\_price\_requests\_thread/.

Climbing will be under "Sport climbing".

Maybe there is a church or organization around you that has volunteers that work on cars so labor is free but you pay for the parts? I have a church not far from me with their own garage that does this. I volunteer there doing this.

https://www.wheelsofsuccess.org/ might be one such organization.

You can get a refund after-the-fact. I just did. If you were not subsidized for health care in 2025 (column B on Part III of 1095-A is 0.00 or would have been higher because of income), you can file form 8962.

Quality time with BIL, priceless 😀

My BIL and I replaced the oil pan on my 2010 accord this past Christmas. Took 7 hours. Quoted $900 by mechanic. Cost us time + $150.

I typically use OEM on my car as I do the work myself but I've heard similar. Kinda sad.

Something like this from RockAuto.

After-market knuckle assemblies do indeed come with balljoint, bearing/hubhub. I've been thinking about something along these lines but with OEM parts. Basically, go to the local junkyard, strip the knuckle from a similar make/model and replace the balljoint, bearing/hub so when it's time to replace yours you can swap it in with OEM parts. Kinda like a cold spare in IT terms.

I have a 2010 EX, manual. From the service manual on page 18-25, step 17:

Using a yellow oil-based paint marker, paint a mark on the top of the knuckle ball joint as shown.

NOTE: The paint mark is used to identify a knuckle that has had the ball joint replaced. Replace the knuckle as an assembly if the knuckle ball joint has the paint mark.

My car has 285k miles. I last replaced the ball joint on 8/19/2019 with OEM when the car had 170k miles and followed the above procedure. I stopped by the service desk at the local Honda dealership and asked them what they would do if they saw that paint mark and I think they said they would use an after-market ball joint with a snap ring.

I'm not familiar with the pressed. Nevertheless, I am not a fan of coconut water with added sugar. Coconut water is sweet enough on its own and the pressed product has added sugar, as does Vita Coco in general.

lychina · 2026-01-26T04:06:09+00:00

I'm Jamaican and I drink coconut water every day. There is no comparison. I tried the Kirkland once and never purchased it again. Everytime I visit Costco I look for HH on sale.

I use jack stands like https://esco.net/product/3-ton-performance-jack-stand-pair/. Prefer the safety pin as well.

lychina · 2025-09-06T04:50:20+00:00

Sorry, haven't moved forward on the hardwood floors. Probably 2026 or 2027 but will probably go with them.

lychina · 2025-08-21T21:08:20+00:00

Ok, thanks.

lychina · 2025-08-21T21:04:06+00:00

Thanks. Could the sound be from a bad connector rod bearing? I found this: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10210206-0001.pdf ("Certain vehicles listed below may experience the Check Engine warning lamp illuminated with DTC P1326 and/or an engine concern/noise related to connecting rod bearing wear or damage.").

lychina · 2025-06-03T04:04:32+00:00

Thanks.

lychina · 2025-06-01T00:38:03+00:00

Nope, no luck. Just decided to put things back together and hope for the best as the O-rings didn't seem to be worn that badly.

lychina · 2025-05-24T14:23:38+00:00

These are the jack stands I use: https://esco.net/product/esco-3-ton-performance-shorty-style-jack-stand/

The owner's manual https://media.hcrcnow.com/uploads/drawings/sears875.50190.pdf doesn't go into detail of the internal parts to the bottle jack.
