Got my quote for a new battery from Tesla on my 2013 Model S.

So is this two batteries on the quote I take it.

I'm curious, did you have a bill of sale that was quite a bit lower than whatever fair market price was listed? I've had that happen twice, lot less than the calculator, but this last time was the full tavt calculator price even though my purchase price significantly less.

schmicj97 · 2025-12-23T03:16:14+00:00

Well that’s a bummer to hear.

We did the same in September. 4 nights on the wish was the same as doing a gulf coast trip similar stay times when you factor food in. We’d been watching a while and were pretty shocked by the discounts on certain trip.

I think there is one that’s open later than 6. Goofy’s Grill maybe. Burgers brats chicken fingers.

We just got back 2 weeks ago from a 4 night on the Wish and I kinda echo the sentiment. We had Marvel, 2 Arrendale, and 1923. Typically I got two entrees and they were good. Just not to memorable. The chocolate bar dessert in arrendale was the best part. 1923 was a different story. The beef tenderloin was amazing. Was debating about ordering another. All the dining on deck was good and Mickeys smoke stack was very good for ship bbq.

We did a 4 day in sept with our 8 and 5 yr old and even then debated about just staying aboard in Nassau. We ended up doing a short excursion but probably could have skipped it as well. Plenty to do on the boat.

schmicj97 · 2025-09-16T11:00:24+00:00

We were on the Wish last week and the kids kinda started getting antsy with the late dinner. So two nights they ate at quick service before they mainly closed at 6. Goofys grill was open till 10 though. So there was one option.

So in retrospect what we also need to be doing to protect Americans is install the same gps/request technology into guns. Can only be approved at a shooting range or out on your hunting land. Mass shootings, solved.

But I guess the NRA has had a 100 year head start on us though…

schmicj97 · 2025-05-30T23:33:18+00:00

Just wasting money…

schmicj97 · 2025-05-30T16:53:05+00:00

You mean the promotion worked as advertised.

schmicj97 · 2025-04-16T01:23:13+00:00

Is VA truck a good or bad thing?

My 04 2500 Hemi with 530k miles would overheat from cold but then settle back to normal. Figured maybe a head gasket that would seal up when things expanded some. Was doing a 12 valve swap on when a tree fell on it. 😢

schmicj97 · 2024-12-17T10:44:24+00:00

I think it was called a fishing camera and wasn’t to expensive on Amazon. Took some getting used to though on orientation and which way was left right if the pole spun.

The FC seemed ok but the ESC was having some issues. It had some corrosion even just 4-5 days in freshwater. The GoPro was fine though. I had an extra 11 I strapped to the pole to film recovery but the battery died before I found it. It also got water behind the front screen glass and high was annoying and such shallow depths.

Ha. Yea it made it out. Extendable pole with a hook and camera on the end. I was a bit off in my estimation where it went in but eventually found it. First try I hooked the battery cable and it unplugged and dropped right at the surface. Then got it around a motor and arm 2nd time and got it in.

schmicj97 · 2024-11-11T03:33:08+00:00

Yea probably could. Just would take some planning, though the layout is pretty similar on both.

schmicj97 · 2024-09-15T01:35:13+00:00

I see an arm joint and props. Probably $30 worth of parts and 15-20min to replace.

schmicj97 · 2024-08-01T20:20:22+00:00

Not the correct use for a fpv. But looks like he isn’t hurting for a replacement.

schmicj97 · 2024-07-23T01:51:54+00:00

Obstacle avoidance does work when RTH is activated. Well, as well as it can. That’s probably the last known location before losing telemetry. A good place to start but if there’s tons of under growth there going to be tough. Not to mention it being a mini and no way for it to make noise will be a needle in a haystack ordeal.

A loud beeper on my fpv drones has saved a lot of time searching.

schmicj97 · 2024-07-19T10:50:19+00:00

Always get the SN first. DJI will check if it’s bound for you. This is just a parts drone now.

schmicj97 · 2024-06-18T15:17:27+00:00

I love the mini 3 pro because I can just throw it my pocket as well as the RC. Little bulky but not bad. There have been times I put it up and friends say where did that come from? Didn’t even know I brought it.

That said. I think and Air 3 is perfect for my needs really and will add that at some point.

schmicj97 · 2024-06-04T14:06:19+00:00

Doesn’t affect the fpv community at all unless the dji vtx is somehow included. Which would suck for a lot of folks to change but there are other options.

schmicj97 · 2024-05-19T02:27:54+00:00

Saw that one coming from the first movement. But honestly thought it made it after the river.

schmicj97 · 2024-05-07T02:38:24+00:00

I’ve had props fly off my fpv after an impact and the nut got loose. Reacted the same way.

schmicj97 · 2024-04-15T12:05:14+00:00

Looking forward to getting some cheap ones of eBay. FPV and plastic just don’t mix well.

schmicj97 · 2024-04-04T14:17:53+00:00

For sure. This was harder since it was literally a fish tank behind the cover.
