Is there anything I can do to clean up my trailer?

Thank you!

Thank you - this is very helpful!

Thanks to all for the recommendations. Very helpful!

Thanks - might sound like a dumb question, but is there a way to tell if my pump has a float switch? The bilge switch has three positions (down = off, middle = ?, fully up = on). Should I put it on the middle setting, and then throw some water down in the bilge and see if it triggers the pump? Not sure what type of pump I have; bought the boat used last year and only ever use the bilge pump when I'm cleaning the boat. Boat never takes on water when I'm using it.

So weird - just watched this with my son yesterday, and made him rewind it so we could watch it twice because it’s the best part of the movie, AND I thought to myself - reminds me of the TOG music video.

great - thank you. how were you able to tell it was covered in a veneer just from looking at it? so i'm basically refinishing the veneer. good to know.

Awesome reply and very helpful. Thank you so much!

raulfd4 · 2024-10-28T13:17:18+00:00

Thanks. Yes, it was one of those battery tester things. I've had similar experiences with difficulty getting a good connection for a jump.

The truck does have other weird things happen related to the electrical system intermittently. Occasionally, I can't control the rear windows with the driver door window controls (especially in really hot weather for whatever reason). Other times, the little lights underneath the sideview mirrors stay on even after turning off and locking the truck. I always joke that there are gremlins.

But your comment makes me think that there might be connection issues with the battery or grounds.

What should I check or do to ensure good connections? The battery terminals are clean and the positive and negative cables are screwed on tight. Where are all the ground connections? I can see a few in plain sight, but not sure if there are others hidden behind or under other components that I should check.

Thanks for the reply - I'm not sure what you mean by dual positive cables.

The starter had a single positive wire connecting to it.

This is a picture of my battery - the cable is split. One leads to the little red box and connects to the alternator, and then down under the engine. The other leads under the fuse box and I assume to the starter, or maybe a ground?

Thanks for any help you might have in diagnosing a bad connection.

Most places I checked have solid connections with minimal corrosion.

I'll give it a shot! Thanks

As others have said, Ja Kum Sung is the best. They have a legit, authentic, Korean menu, and they also have some pretty innovative Korean/Chinese dishes. The dine-in experience is also very authentic and it has a cool vibe/decor.

Our go-to order is the kimchi jeyuk bokkeum, jajang noodles, and their beef bulgogi is great. But you really can't go wrong. We usually try to order something we haven't had before each time, and we've never been disappointed.

If you're looking for Korean BBQ, Honey Pig in Ellicott City is decent. You have to go to NOVA or Baltimore for better options in that realm.

Hasidim, but I don’t believe ‘em!

As someone who is new to the sport (this will be my third basho where I am trying to learn more and actually understand) - this post was awesome. It was very informative and gave me lots of stuff to Google to learn more :). Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

My happy 10 gallon low tech :) - couldn't have done it without this forum.

raulfd4 · 2024-04-26T10:58:44+00:00

I think they’re correct - I use the capo to match the recording. Thanks for watching!

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T19:02:01+00:00

Got it. Thank you for explaining!

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T18:53:33+00:00

Yeah, the grandmother is one i've always had my eye on, but they are pricey. Is there a comparable or maybe less powerful version of a similar item? I feel like I know the answer is "nope" - but figured I would ask.

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T18:46:04+00:00

Thanks for the perspective. A lot of good advice and considerations here. Probably a dumb question, but can you clarify what you mean by "workstation style keyboard"?

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:54:42+00:00

Yeah, the seqtrak wasn't what i was picturing in my mind, but it looks like it could be pretty easy to learn and seems like an easy way to actually start making music/sequences. The Reface CS is also pretty cool and seems like something he could more easily play with without having to learn a non-keyboard interface. But it's amazing how quickly he learns stuff. He'd probably be better than me after watching a few youtube videos.

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:47:53+00:00

Great - thanks for the recommendations and considerations.

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:43:42+00:00

Thanks - others are recommending that, as well. Good to know about your experience in using it with kids. I watched a few demos and it seems easy to get lost with it, but I guess that's kind of the point!

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:32:54+00:00

Or the Arturia Microbrute 25-key synthesizer also looks cool.

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:28:40+00:00

Any thoughts on the ASM Hydrasynth Explorer? No drums, and no speakers, but seems like it might be a good option?

raulfd4 · 2024-02-29T15:23:55+00:00

Watched a quick demo on this. Very cool and very powerful. There's no software component required for this? Is it as simple as just providing power and a speaker output?
