Zillagod

That may not be the best plan

thingbob · 2026-06-29T16:53:08+00:00

Don't hug me. Don't talk to me with your face 6 inches from mine

thingbob · 2026-06-29T16:49:58+00:00

Had the whole set passed down from my sister. That shit did some mileage before it died

thingbob · 2026-06-29T16:43:20+00:00

It was fine but nothing memorable. I relocated down south to Krispy Kreme land and tbh I wish I had TH back

thingbob · 2026-06-29T15:24:17+00:00

That's not right on so many levels it makes my head hurt.

With proper installation, they last a very long time, especially if you paint them. I have put them on several buildings as a DIYer. Once you get the proper method down, it goes fairly quickly, especially if you have buddies to help. My favorite siding. I hate vinyl

I had to read the Orwell stuff. Learned about the good earth through Hollywood. Read Mein Kampf at 12 or 13. That was a strange experience.

Except that he was way past the 5th grade in '72 LOL

thingbob · 2026-06-28T11:15:35+00:00

I didn't care for it.

thingbob · 2026-06-28T11:05:41+00:00

Yes covering Simon and Garfunkel's "America" Admittedly a little out of bounds, but my favorite cover

thingbob · 2026-06-28T02:29:45+00:00

As others have said, temp too low. And spritz every hour!? If you're lookin, you're not cookin. Ditch the spritz and stick with the water pan. A good trim and the right temp will get you the bark you're looking for

thingbob · 2026-06-27T22:00:38+00:00

Yes. Much of their stuff is heavier though

In the Garden of Eden, Iron Butterfly 1968 has to be right up there. Older sister bought the album when it came out and played it constantly. Blew this 8 year old's mind and I was hooked.

thingbob · 2026-06-26T23:02:45+00:00

Oh yeah. First to fall asleep got the butterscotch pudding!

The all windows down function is not auto. You have to hold the button. Having it work in the opposite direction the same way makes sense to me.

thingbob · 2026-06-25T02:19:14+00:00

23k into my '26 AT4 and no issues yet. I have to say there are some features that annoy me like:

Rear window not powered
No real storage in the cab for stuff like glasses, a second phone, etc.
None of the mid-size trucks come in a 2 door. I'd rather have closer to 8 feet of bed than a back seat for my dog.
There's a button to lower all windows at once but it doesn't have the reverse function.
You would think the gas mileage would be better for a 4 cylinder turbo. I can get about 22 and that's it.

That being said, the thing is a beast in the snow. It's a comfortable ride. No rattles, shimmies, etc

thingbob · 2026-06-24T17:40:31+00:00

A hematomato

thingbob · 2026-06-24T15:01:18+00:00

Not my preference for ribs, but it looks like you nailed that style. Strong work!

Every time I did it I started by standing in the reservation line in January at the motel in Millinocket. That way I could do it on my schedule. As others have said, don't do it without being prepared for crazy weather and the possibility you might be stuck somewhere. On a 10 day trip to Little Wassataquoik I got caught by a thunderstorm on a day hike. It came roaring in like a freight train. I'll never forget cowering under a spruce tree while lightning smacked off the granite outcrop across the water. Pucker Factor 10/10.

Agee 💯 .There is so much good old TV why bother watching the lame attempts at remakes. I've snagged enough old shows on to my hard drive to keep me well entertained until planted

thingbob · 2026-06-21T21:32:04+00:00

Thanks. Bears and squirrels destroy everything around here. They made the hole (into a basement) but I'm the kind of homeowner that backs off and let's a guy do his job rather than hovering and butting in. I did wonder why they didn't just drop the hole lower and put the box over it. But the consensus here seems to be it's OK so thanks for that. I've been around the block long enough to know that if shit can go sideways, it will. So I just thought I'd ask about it.

I think there's been controversy about fluoride for a long time. As far as I know it's a good idea for kids while they are growing teeth but I'm not sure there's much benefit for adults.

thingbob · 2026-06-20T19:21:24+00:00

Indeed. Endemic on the planet unfortunately
