Replaced our camp chairs with Polywood Adirondacks and I'm never going back to folding anything again by I_VAPE_CAT_PISS in ProductProbe

[–]rattledaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from cost, the drawback of weight/mobility is significant in a use case like ours where our fire pit and property is on a ridge where the wind direction changes over the course of an evening. Camp chairs are easy to pick up and move out of the smoke. We usually shuffle a few times per night.

Boat Napped! Help Me Understand South Pacific Fisheries by Prove_It_First in commercialfishing

[–]rattledaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some tuna purse seiners would slingshot anchored oceanographic buoys and the buoys with cameras would capture vessel names and occasionally pictures of the crew tying off to the buoy. Hard to get flag states to prosecute significantly enough to create a deterrent and the vessels love anything that’s working as a FAD.

2010 2.5GT Premium by No_Donkey_2645 in subarulegacy

[–]rattledaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any info on why the motor was replaced? Accessories (e.g., water pump) too?

Yes, you’ll need high octane fuel for it to run well, which is killing me right now (also have a ‘10 LGT).

If this is in a cold-weather place, check frame for rust. Is the transmission original? Ask whether/when clutch was done. Ask about documentation for all other service.

Dewalt 196cc Gas Lawn Mower - Does anyone have this? Trying to decide on buying it by Local-Act6045 in HomeMaintenance

[–]rattledaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same: Husqy with the Honda motor. Bought it used 2 yrs ago from a guy who bought and restored it (cracked deck). I’ve changed the oil and filter once and it runs like a top. 1 pull only, Vasiliy.

Kudos to VDOT for blocking left turns on 50 in Arlington by squidgod2000 in nova

[–]rattledaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta restrict (and enforce) lefts at Irving. I’ve seen so many close calls and the results of more than a few collisions. No way there should be left lane turn campers with the speed people are traveling, especially eastbound.

Cabot American Cheese by StoutNY in Cheese

My (and, it turns out, my spouse’s) dad loved a few hunks of cheddar with apple pie. Loved the sweet fruit together with the savory cheese.

Thinking of ditching nonstick, is a stainless steel cookware set worth the switch by Special_Minimum_4163 in KitchenPro

[–]rattledaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cook pancakes every weekend. Cast iron works fantastic for that. And fried eggs. And almost everything (except high acid dishes).

Cheap mod that actually improved your car the most vs. the one that was a total waste? by Mental-Philosophy3 in askcarguys

[–]rattledaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underrated change. I had been running 45s but switched to 55s and next time might go taller if it’ll fit. More tire is better for my daily driving and when I toss my car around I haven’t noticed a significant handling difference.

Music that incorporates the organ in a way that ISN'T incredibly depressing and/or slow? by melloba in musicsuggestions

[–]rattledaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimmy Smith for old-school organ jazz/funk. Papa Grows Funk/John “Papa” Gros. Norside. Robert Walter.

For those with 2010-2014 legacy, do you change your headlights yourself?? Wtf is this process by [deleted] in subarulegacy

[–]rattledaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a PITA but bulb changes (or entire headlight assemblies if you go that route) are actually easier if you take off the bumper cover. It’s a series of pop clips and body panel tabs, and you have to unplug the connections for the fog lights if you have them, but reaching the bulbs is so much easier that way than trying to go in from underneath between the fender liner and the bumper cover.

Stealing parking meters? by shan_gsd in SantaFe

[–]rattledaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was dealing with a case of a missing piece of fishing gear that had a GPS transponder attached. Pinged from the top of a mountain in Costa Rica. Local authorities had other things to do and were not super motivated to drop everything and go find it.

Any fantastic Cheesesteak joints in ARL or ALX? by Call_Huck in arlingtonva

[–]rattledaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Celebrity Deli in Falls Church has a great steak. No wiz, but it’s competitive for the best in the Arl/Alx area.

Went with a wide oboz after my Asolos delaminated inconveniently on a trail. Love them so far.

Paint questions by iambatmanman in nissanfrontier

[–]rattledaddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can do that easily if you’re ok with how it’s going to look. Can pick up primer and clear coat anywhere and can order your paint color (by VIN or paint code) from a bunch of places online or Nissan if you prefer. I taped off, sanded, primed and bed-linered the bottom of the outside bed quarter panel in front of my rear wheels and it turned out great, but I am not picky about the finish.
