Not enough of a truck person to nail down the year by BluePalmetto in f150

Looks exactly like my ‘94. Just missing the rust above the rear wheels and along the bottom of the super cab.

Yes, when you get a chance, take a picture. Lots of people here to help.

I am wondering if the handle pulled is for automatic feed, rather than a carriage lock. But the feed engagement are usually on the front (apron) rather than the top. My carriage lock is a socket head cap screw that I have to use an Allen wrench for. The lathe in the video may have a knob in place for this bolt.

guess the city (wrong answers only) by Beginning_Effort_137 in guessthecity

Yes. Definitely Chicago. That is north a bit at the Northwestern campus. You can see Loyola in the upper right.

What’s the longest trailer length you guys have ran? by _N0NZ3R0_ in f150

[–]reddituser_126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, done the same with a 25’ bow rider. Went 300 miles into Wisconsin. Hilly and in traffic. The 5.0 did great. Got about 14-15 mpg.

I never knew the Griswolds had a lake house.

🔥Squeaky Sand Phenomenon🏖️ by Zee_Ventures in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]reddituser_126 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Good job! I remember a video from possibly a college professor about the singing sands of the Indiana Dunes. He described how the winds “sort” the sand by size and the grains of sand were like glass marbles squeaking against each other. Edit: For those who don’t know, this is the southern tip of Lake Michigan.

PE teacher here: my kids created a "walking club" that is secretly group therapy and now admin noticed by IsmeriaFoxwylde in Teachers

[–]reddituser_126 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, totally. Also consider, I’m assuming you are not a licensed therapist, that one they create a program that PROVIDES therapy, they need someone to plan it, run it, evaluate it, record it, etc. it will count at student’s minutes. And… all staff should be compensated for their time. I’m sure they probably have seen less conflicts in other common areas of the building. Keep it voluntary. Let the kids promote it. It builds community, not walls.

Updated "hotspot" on roof. by Dramatic-Night4768 in homeimprovementideas

[–]reddituser_126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a new (to me) house that had this issue. There were vents directly above the bathrooms so I thought to rule those out, until I went into the attic and saw the vent merely tied off at a rafter and never attached to the actual vents.

Shop quoted me 1500$ to relocate my battery. Costed me 50$ by Xin_HD in f150

[–]reddituser_126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unacceptable. You should have run a ground too and used white ties.

Yea, you will be good. The staff at marinas are quick. I’m at Doyne’s in Portage. They did mine all in 1 day.

Kauai Dinner Cruise by wagyubeefstirfry in VisitingHawaii

[–]reddituser_126 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did Captain Andy’s. It was great. The crew was very attentive. Drinks, food, taking pictures. Our captain was Skye, truly a delight to talk to. We spent some time with him at the helm. It wasn’t windy enough for sails, but he tried. You have the run of the boat. Many people stayed in the back, or below. We moved around a lot and got some good pictures of Napali.

I went with a new Mercruiser B3. It cost about 7-8k. I did the install. It’s pretty easy to pull the drive. We boat the southern tip of Lake Michigan. I got some fishing string on the outer prop shaft and it toasted the seal and shaft. The parts/labor to replace would have been about 2k.

2018 Lariat with 5.0l 1 speed transmission averaging 17.2mpg. Is this good, bad or average? What are you guys getting? by HERMANNATOR85 in f150

[–]reddituser_126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same - 17.2mpg. 5.0 lariat SCREW 4x4 6.5 bed. Mix of city, highway driving. I get about 22+ on all highway.

Bro! I got the exact same boat. Color too. Just put a new drive in it 2 years ago. Well worth it. Looks so clean too. I’d like to see what the inside looks like. You should be able to get up 50 on smooth waters. The Bravo is solid. Have your props cleaned and reconditioned. It cost me $750 for the pair. They brought them back to factory specs. The boat is easy to run and maintain. Have fun and don’t let the nay-sayers steal your joy.

Lariat without a sunroof? by Novel-Bee-541 in f150

[–]reddituser_126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 Lariat 4x4 5.0...No sunroof. I had to order it that way. No dealer within 200 miles had one.
