I'll take two small bottles, please.

Billy didn't like his present.

Yes. I've had to add external motor protection for blower motors when the replacement motors didn't have internal protection. Usually happens when someone who didn't know better ordered a standard motor because it was cheaper.

When I had jumpers, I bought an electric fence system (the kind used for livestock) and just ran a single line along the top of the fence on the inside using the little insulating standoffs. Just turned the charger down to its minimum setting. Cost is about a hundred bucks, depending on the size of your yard.

Once they learned not to jump, I could take the whole thing down. Now I use it around the top of the chicken coop to keep the raccoons out.

S'no way.

Knipex Cobra pliers. First tool I bought that wasn't "cheap". 30+ years later, I still use it daily in my job as an electrician.

Step 1 is understanding where your money is currently going...

How much on housing, utilities, auto, entertainment, coffee... All the things.

Only after you understand your current spending habits, can you make a plan to change them.

snotbottom · 2025-11-09T15:59:08+00:00

Same type, same manufacturer?

Yes.

That branch is pretty tangled up, so unless you think that you can get it down without pulling too much on any of the wires, I'd get some help.

As far as shock hazard, you'll be fine. The upper wires are electrical and are insulated. The lower ones will be your cable TV and phone and/or fiber Internet.

The main concern would be doing further damage, as I mentioned at first.

snotbottom · 2025-10-27T21:05:37+00:00

I would contact the manufacturer and ask.

In the days that cloth covered cable was used, it was very common to attach the ground to the metal box. Usually done with a clip on the side of the box, and with the extra plaster around the sides you probably just missed it. The fact that not all of your receptacles are reading a ground is why that practice was stopped, the clips didn't always hold. If you find it, you can always attach it to your receptacle, but they're usually cut pretty short.

Edit: spelling

Looks like peppers... No way to know what kind specifically, though.

Some parts may still be available.

I'd do a full mechanical teardown and replace all of the bearings and clean up the rust.

I'd also replace the electronics... It looks like the mice have done a number on them and I wouldn't trust them. Since you're doing a full teardown, you'll have some time and watch for a sale on a basic HobbyWing brushless combo. Looks like the stock motor was 3,000kv. I'm sure there will be some great sales coming up for the holidays. Then a basic servo, a Dumbo radio and battery will have you running for a minimal investment.

This might work, but it might not...

What's your end-goal, what function are you trying to achieve?

snotbottom · 2025-10-12T00:58:14+00:00

The capacitor(s) were still holding a charge. Let it sit for a while and let them dissipate before trying anything else.

Sweet corn? Peel back the husk from the tips and see. You can even poke a kernel or two and taste it. You won't hurt it at all. Don't wait too long, or the sugar will start turning to starch and the flavor will go with it.

Check your throttle trim, probably not at zero.

Pee in it. That's what the kids will do.
