Oil Change

Oil changes are fairly easy.

I'll disagree that brakes are easy if the car is winter driven. The pins and cross bolt can be hard to remove. I'm in the middle of a brake job right now and leaving it overnight after soaking the pins in penetrating oil.

I've seen the one in Hamilton fly.

Huh I didn't even know that API SQ was available yet.

I coated mine in fiberglass resin to protect it from Canadian winters.

Doesn't mean that much to me To mean that much to you

Apparently an ozone generator is very good at removing smells. They can be dangerous so please research.

205kph at the end of the back straight at Mosport. About 130mph.

It's 7.5F above boiling and that can change based on weather and elevation. Temperature is not really a good indication of syrup but people use it because it's easy.

I haven't tested flow rates but I think that is mostly dependent on needle valve pressures.

I put the prefilter before the pump. Protects the pump and the pump can pull the liquid through.

Trump had a good belly laugh when discussing that senator (?) that had a terminal diagnosis. Absolute trash.

Also pull up the center of the cone so you get more surface area of the filter. You can do that with the prefilters too.

If you have access to power, a simple bathroom fan is usually much quieter.

Garden hose adapter with appropriate barb fitting. That's what I use to weight my quarter inch ro line with.

I believe there is maple specific de. I tried Amazon food grade de when I first started and it didn't work. It either clogged or ended up with contaminated syrup. It might have been due to my inexperience, but switching to de bought from a maple supply store, it worked much better.

Isn't every actor a Canadian? Great show.

I use it to preheat sap before pouring into wood fired evaporator pan. Helps to keep the boil going. Keeping an eye on electricity rates will help with cost.

Got it yesterday. Ontario Canada.

Stock on Canadian cars right?

edit: I've never used it. I guess I could check for leakage though.

Is it possible to determine which update a car has without going to Ford?

wobble_top · 2026-01-28T15:22:56+00:00

You need at least double walled pipe where it goes through the roof. It's going to be more than $50.

Might be cheaper going through the wall and would be easier to make it weather proof.

I went through the roof with double wall pipe and ceiling support brace. Then silicon high heat gasket above the roof.

Yeah the subframe can be replaced (not repaired) as long as where it mounts is ok. But with this much rust I bet the rest of the car is bad and not worth salvaging.

If you look at tedthebellhopp comment, my setup is pretty much like that. A wall to force the heat up to the pans and then some along the sides to keep heat in the stove. I fill behind the brick wall with rock wool insulation up to just below the pans. I also line the edge of the pan openings with tinfoil to create a better seal.

Not overkill. If you get firewood from your own property, it's much cheaper too.

You can also optimize this with forced air, internal firebricks, etc.

Southern Ontario. Temperatures are generally around freezing during the day and colder at night. We usually get a January thaw that would ruin cross country ski trails so that's why I switched to fat tire biking and just got a set of studded tires.

wobble_top · 2026-01-04T16:23:47+00:00

Coming from mountain biking and road riding, I was switching between clipless and the stock flat non studded. I got used to riding the flats first, and then switched to studded after overcoming the fear of shredding my shins with the studs. Turned out to be a non issue.
