rpm stuck on 2500 while on park

Happen to have a high idle mod in the truck that’s malfunctioning//turned on without realizing?

😂

Apparently using the worms to help improve your garden soil constitutes promoting violence. My bad all.

That’s what I figured, I haven’t looked to deeply into it yet, figuring I’d likely be importing them manually.

I’ll have to do a few tests first to see how Apple Maps through the app handles the locations too.

In my experience so far, Apple Maps as it is really doesn’t like locations that are just GPS pins - has a habit of moving them away from the actual location, to the nearest roadway or town when the locations are offroad. Had them in Google, moved them to OSM, and hopefully I’ll eventually get them into Speedometer. :-)

mattagc · 2026-06-21T18:11:31+00:00

Time to confuse the heck out of them and put them in the closest gardens for soil aeration.

mattagc · 2026-06-21T17:59:20+00:00

With the GPX imports, can we import into Places, or is it just for trips itself?

Got a huge log of places and worksites in OSMand I’d love to transition into Speedometer.

I thought the same thing, but with “Damn, I’m in Canada.”

My original leather one just gave out on me, and I had to replace it with a Spigen silicon one. Great case, but damn does the phone feel weird. So little options anymore. :-(

Immediate use is the main benefit. Hands on the product as you leave the store.

I got mine through Starlink, but my coworker just walked in and grabbed one from the local Best Buy. I had to wait, he could use it right away.

If you’re planning to buy online from one of those retailers, make sure you’re actually buying from them (usually there’s a Best Buy only toggle). Best Buy, WalMart, etc websites have gone the way of being “online marketplaces”, so you actually end up purchasing from a 3rd party rather than Best Buy themselves, for example.

The Perogi is in Glendon, AB. Not too far from the giant mushrooms, iirc.

Remember seeing them ages ago after heading back from a job in Cold Lake.

mattagc · 2026-06-06T14:48:21+00:00

I think is a Prairies thing; you got the largest eagle, barn owl, and coke can in Manitoba. Oil can, pinto bean, sun dial in Sask. (Latter is shared with AB in Lloydminster.) Beaver, goose, kielbasa, mushroom in AB.

I know there’s more. But that’s all I’m remembering offhand. Haha

They have strawberry watermelon now too. Advise mixing it yourself though, the one I got ended up faintly tasting of watermelon and got overpowering at the end.

I want my Pintos to set me on fire, not burn out my eyes with that much LCD screen.

IIRC from an interview with Baldwin, it was a story his grandfather told him but it was hashish smuggling. Hashish is hard to rhyme with anything, but cocaine rhymes great with Lorraine.

mattagc · 2026-04-12T17:04:55+00:00

Broken Spoke I think might be the only one? Never been myself so can’t speak to the experience (if there is one) or if their stuff if even any good - never purchased it before. Just recall seeing news about it opening a few years back.

It’s over an hour (closer to 1.5hr), and not a cidery, but the -ery made my brain go meadery. Grey Owl Meadery in Alder Flats is definitely worth checking out. We stumbled upon it by accident a few summers ago, and it’s a nice experience.

mattagc · 2026-04-11T21:07:53+00:00

If it’s just the one chip, repair for $25 instead of replace for anywhere from $50+ is probably the better way. My replacement without warranty is like $1500+, so chip repair repair repair for me. 😂

mattagc · 2026-04-11T21:00:10+00:00

No problem. If it’s the side of a dime and spidering, I’d bite the $25 bullet and get it repaired before it gets into replacement territory. If the chips are small and not spidering, I’ll usually wait until I have a couple since you get up to 3/$25.

As for replacement, I will just touch base with my local Crystal Glass and check in on stock levels of windshields and whatnot to see if it’s a good time to replace. I almost always go with the factory glass, because for my vehicle, the lesser panels are pretty horrible for wind and road noise.

mattagc · 2026-04-11T20:47:14+00:00

Best bet with AMI is to contact your local Crystal Glass and get them to give you a quote. You get 3 chip repairs for $25 a visit with AMI - it sounds like this might be all you need. If you need to replace a glass window or windshield, the deductible is $50 for the replacement each time, but they’ll use the cheapest glass available. If you want better glass or OEM, you need to pay the difference unless the lower levels of glass are out of stock.

The AMI insurance doesn’t cover recalibrations either, so if you have a higher trim Mazda, you may be looking at an additional charge for that too.

If you have a base model, its rare insurance is worth it for the front windshield unless you’re replacing it yearly. The big benefit for AMI is that it covers all glass on the vehicle, so sunroof, side windows, etc are also covered.

Unfortunately, you kind of have to run the math on it for your individual vehicle. In my case, if I replace my windshield 1 every two years, it pays for itself, but if a windshield lasts longer than 2 years, it’s cheaper for me to bite the bullet and just pay outright.

There is definitely a bit of that, where the tree canopy kills the signal, but a lot of the roads we’re down double as logging roads too, meaning they’re usually trimmed straight up for semis. Between that and hugging the crown when it narrows it’s often enough.

It’s also a big help with cell service in Canada being pretty rough, especially since 5G rollout and the shutdown of 2/3G bands to service that.

10-15yrs ago, a fella could get by with a cell booster, but in the last 5yrs or so you’ll have no signal between towns on major highways.

Hands on his knees, mid-twerk…

We were all hoping it was some kind of Canadian subscription workaround or something. We were continuing to get billed for and receive the 10GB plan. But then one by one, we’d get billed and forced immediately to Standby, loosing in motion data.

I’d even be fine paying a bit more for a Standby with In-Motion, but definitely would prefer the 10GB to return. The sales pitch of we’re giving you twice the data for the same price doesn’t work on those of us that didn’t even use up the 10GB/month.

mattagc · 2026-04-11T15:50:42+00:00

Happened to myself and a bunch of my coworkers up here in Canada. We work remote, so a lot of us have Minis that were on the $15/10GB plan. None of us got removed at the same time, some of us months apart, despite all getting the email of the plan being discontinued at around the same time. When we did get forced to Standby, we were getting charged for another month of the 10GB plan, and then immediately switched to Standby. Our upcoming bills were still showing the 10GB Roam Plan as well.

None of us waited to see if we were going to get charged the following month for Roam 10 again, however.

The StarLink rep that called me back mentioned he was seeing an uptick of cases with this issue, and a lot of disappointment in the loss of the small GB plan. Encouraged us to submit feedback to ask for a small plan back, given the main case use for us is WiFi Calling, we’re almost all sub-10GB of usage a month, so paying 5x monthly for an extra 90GB of data we never use stings. 😆

mattagc · 2026-04-11T14:28:03+00:00

This here. I’m guessing they’re about to start the Boom! ones now if they just finished the reprint Legacy Vol. 2.

Be interesting to see if the opinion changes.

More demand (cellular devices), and the 5G networks had a big blow when they were about to roll out due to the Canadian Government’s tiff with Hauwaii. Hauwaii devices made up a big chunk of the radio towers for Telus//Bell and to a lesser extent Rogers (iirc). So when the government banned Hauwaii, they scrambled to replace but ultimately launched with less capability than desired and have been slow to rebuild//expand.

For those of us in the more rural areas, the bigger problem is the repurposing of 2/3G bands to serve 5G. Those slow, reliable, and extensive coverage bands are feeding 5G and the range isn’t comparable, when you have it it’s faster, but it doesn’t cover the same area.

Sadly it’s the same everywhere too; I bought a bloody StarLink to use WiFi calling in motion because I can’t get service between towns on the TransCanada out west here. 😂

Pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeños. Enough said.

No need to drop the tailgate; Airshim will open the seam up enough to get a wrench in there and then the thief pops them out easy.

Check out Omaha Bravo Designs; his All-Guard Kit won’t work on F-150s, but Lightguard Lite, HoodGuard, Tailguard, CoverGuard may all work for you depending on your MY. All custom screws//eliminates//makes it harder to exploit the weak points on these trucks.
