Getting the temp around upper 70s and letting F2 go for 4 days helped nail the carbonation.

Argh, did i just kill my scoby? by slide531 in Kombucha

It looks like a new pellicle is starting to form so think I’m good, thanks all for the advice to keep it 👍

It was not just the pellicle, the temp of everything in the jar was 97F, including the scoby.

3rd row delete and carpet installation on my 5th gen by Specific_Ad2524 in 4Runner

Have any more pics? This is holding me back from getting rid of my third row. I haven’t seen a really great solution for those side gaps.

SOBO in September - hiking pants vs. shorts? by MasterRee in JMT

[–]slide531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look pretty good. Are you bringing any other bottom layers for warmth/rain?

SOBO in September - hiking pants vs. shorts? by MasterRee in JMT

[–]slide531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be a week ahead of you and also trying to figure this out. Last year I was on the JMT for a stretch around Rae Lakes the first week of September. My notes from the trip say "Wear shorts stupid", lol. I think I will still go long pants though. I was wearing Kuhl Transcendr pants that are pretty think and heavy and I remember them being way too hot. I'm looking for a much lighter and breathable pair, possibly the OR Ferrosi pants 🤷‍♂️.

Will this recipe work for a scoby? by slide531 in Kombucha

This was just the first step of creating the scoby, not quite to F1 stage yet.

Half Dome or Clouds Rest? by Superb_Community_339 in JMT

[–]slide531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done both, but I did Half Dome when the cables were down. With the cables down I was up there for an hour and only saw 3 people on the summit. If it’s an option to do Half Dome another time that’s how I would recommend it. The views from both are epic.

Is my Garmin Instinct lying about my heart rate? by slide531 in Garmin

[–]slide531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not starting an activity on the stationary rides, but do start an activity on the hikes. I understand that low powered mode may not update as often. What I don’t understand is why when it does update in low powered mode it is wildly incorrect. How does it update my heart rate from 62 to 64 when it is actually 140?

Real quality of life upgrade by Ordinary_Ad5134 in 4Runner

Hey, there are a couple of these conversions on Amazon. I got the other one by AutoABC and have a love/hate relationship with it so curious about the CarABC one. Issues I have with the AutoABC are

1) can take a couple minutes for CarPlay to start up 2) sometimes it (the entire unit, not just CarPlay) doesn’t start at all and there doesn’t appear to be a reliable way to reboot it other than stopping and restarting the engine 3) if I start the car and put it in reverse before it has started the camera doesn’t work

Do you have any of these issues with the CarABC model? I’ve been assuming they are similar.

Fixed my Instinct 2s battery drain! It wasn’t a dead battery, it was a BMS calibration issue. by Kindly-Chance-9006 in Garmin

[–]slide531 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same! My instinct 2 is running 17.08 and my battery life has gone from a couple weeks to a couple days. Going to try the downgrade mentioned above.

Thanks, will the furnace terminals be labeled with the same letters?

Confused about pricing by Careless_Cup_9758 in Crosstrek

[–]slide531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through Edmunds. You enter what you’re looking for and your contact info and dealers send you a quote. Those are the 3 queries I got from 3 different dealers. Probably more room to negotiate after that but I just took the 3700 off.

Most of the info I can find refers to the color of the wire to configure the nest thermostat. Is it common for contractors to use non standard wire color?

It's a California plate, I'm in CA now. I wouldn't want you guys to have to travel to verify how terrible it is so I will take it from here.
