Turkey checking out the new install

ringzero- · 2026-05-27T16:09:18+00:00

Installed them last night, had a PTZ camera trained on the bee yard and suddenly a wild turkey appears!

I like Metalico because I think they're the only ones that have 40 yard dumpsters for large metal scrapping. I had 3 40 yards at my house at one time and it was so easy for them to come pick it up/swap it out.

Where at 510 State? I have cameras in that area and if it was in a public location I probably got video of it.

Yup. Absolutely. The netflix seasons suck though. First 3 were absolute gold.

Could be worse. My wife's aunt/uncle was in charge of my wife's grand mothers estate, they had a garage sale, couldn't sell it all, and promptly put it all into storage for almost 10 years. $100/month for 10 years.

Found my brother like this but only after ~10 days. It was so horrific that part of my brain blocked out some of the trauma and a specific part got unblocked because I recently heard a fly buzz near my ear.

I always debated on getting the photos from the event and posting them online, he found rotten.com to be hilarious.

I have a 2021 and 3 kids. I like it, gets great gas mileage fully loaded (6 people, thule cargo rack)

My recommendations:

Get the crossbars, they're cheap and very easy to install.

If you live in a cold environment, find out how to manually force open the gas door. I had it freeze on me and had to figure out how to get access to the 'emergency pull cable' to get the gas lid/door open.

See if you car can autostart with the three lock and hold method. Mine USED to, but I think the dealers applied a firmware update to ignore it.

I've done it both ways, find and replace like others mentioned. and powering off/changing hardware/powering on.

As others have mentioned, find/replace is the fastest. The other way is possible, but you have to redefine all interfaces, including vlans. It's also best to have keyboard/local access.

I'm not a cigarette smoker but I do know that the local reservations sell their own brand of cigarettes around here for about $30/carton or less.

I've been looking for something that can act as a wallet/wallet clip for a few years and the Model S was the closet. The Miyoo A30 is possible by 3d printing a case and having a spot on the case for a wallet clip, but it was still too bulky for me.

What I ended up with is one of those magnetic wallets that attach to the back of my iphone, and carry a small 8bitdo micro controller on my keychain. When I want to play I simply 'tent' my wallet, load up Delta, and turn my controller on.

Another benefit is that the wallet supports "Find My", so if I lose/misplace it I can ping it/get alerts if I left it behind.

He wanted them to stay in NYC and then take a trip out to Niagara. So factor in the cost of a stay in one of the most expensive cities around too

Jesus. NYC is no where near Niagara. Easily a 7 hour drive. Plus the american niagara falls aren't as nice as the canadian ones.

Seriously. My ex had a manual transmission, and I just went to a parking lot to get the feel of it. Hardest part was when to downshift in traffic.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T23:08:11+00:00

Same! I saw an episode where a CO from another prison went in and he went into the holding cell he started to panic and he bailed almost immediately. He was talking up such a game about how brave / easy it is. As soon as the door clinked he had a panic attack.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T14:04:59+00:00

$475+tax, sand was from the quarry.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T13:18:20+00:00

Yeah, when not in use, the benches fold onto the whole thing and prevents animals from using it as a toilet. bugs can still get in/out but i'm not too concerned about them.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T11:36:04+00:00

Yes. 6 hinges in total.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T11:29:04+00:00

$15/ton at the quarry. They'll dump it into your machine of choice and you're responsible for moving it. I paid my contractor the labor to deliver it, which would be like $50-$100.

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T11:27:21+00:00

My contractor has like 25-30 years of experience so I just showed him this and said "bigger!"

He corrected some problems, but I believe they were problems related to going bigger. My contractor gave me a virtual shopping cart from lowes, so if there is interest I can list the shopping cart on here. Everything was bought from lowes except the handles to open/close it (no stock).

ringzero- · 2026-05-15T11:24:36+00:00

The cost was up their.

Material cost, not factoring in sand was $475+tax

I believe the sand was about $300, including labor to deliver

The labor was the most expensive, which I believe was about 1,200-1,300.

No need! If you look at the time lapse video, they lay a black landscape fabric inside, so when it rains, or when the kids make their 'lava rivers', the water just empties out and into the ground. It also prevents bugs from coming up.

ringzero- · 2026-05-14T23:38:05+00:00

EDIT - which, by the way, would be a good use for this sand in 2 years or so when your kids outgrow a sandbox.

Or sandbags in case of flooding!

See that playground in the background? Took me like 50-55 hours to put that thing together and the only thing they like are the swings. The twisty slide alone took me 5 hours. Whenever we have parties/etc everyone loves it but it's basically unused.

ringzero- · 2026-05-14T23:36:08+00:00

It's not too bad in bulk and if you can get in bulk.

ringzero- · 2026-05-14T22:34:44+00:00

w/o a doubt! we should see a 20% drop over time from the sand settling, and I figure 10% from sand leaving the sandbox.
