    Offering the lift is a standup move. He is a baller with a quikjack now. It may pay for itself on just this job. Putting a vehicle onto jackstands 3 times sucks. Fwiw, there were multiple procedures for my car. One had you run through every gear in the air, one said to just put it down and...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Removing a chain can be done without special tools. A grinder or bolt cutters can get a chain off quickly. I am one of the few that uses clip masters and have never had an issue so I don't have the rivet tool.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    At 34k km, I'd probably do sprockets. Post pics of teeth if you want a more informed opinion.

    It has the super common ZF transmissions (which are probably used by ford too). If the ZF transmission had a foible, both Honda and Ford vehicles would experience it.

    Anyone into gardening here?

    The japanese beetles and I are in our yearly battle. They like to eat my raspberries and basil. I typically grab the beetles and dunk them into a container of soapy water and they die. On the upside, it looks like I have been lucky enough to add some soldiers to my team. Winsome flies lay their...

    Interesting. I didn't realize honda had gone to 9 or 10 speeds in the odyssey. My car has a pita procedure but it swaps almost all the fluid (about 1L stays unless you physically disassemble entire transmission).

    That is so many trans fluid changes. You'd probably have been fine with 1-3 during your ownership instead of 7+. How much did they cost you? When I have done trans fluid changes before, the fluid cost a bunch ($~100-300 depending on car). When was last trans fluid change vs onset of symptoms...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I understand the argument. I don't think it withstands scrutiny when we are paying thousands of suspended officers. The vast majority could be fired today with no danger of losing a civil suit. They are dumb criminals that leave a trail of evidence and are only protected because they are part of...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    There is a gap miles wide between false accusations and the reality of most officers on paid leave. A trivial first cut would be to allow psa charges to he adjudicated at any time instead of waiting for a trial. As the bar is far lower, many psa hearings could easily result in dismissal weeks...

    As a start, have the prosecution do what they can to facilitate civil suits. Nobody cares about a ticket but a $10M judgement will sure as hell alter your life.

    Post pics. I already have a cedar canoe I don't use enough so I'm not likely to be your buyer but I like looking at them

    Smog

    Yesterday was really yellow but smoke is much thicker today. It burns a little when you breathe. Near Haliburton.

    Double fatal in Mississauga this morning. Traffic slowed but one suv didn't. https://www.facebook.com/6ixbuzztv/videos/tragic-prayers-for-everyone-involved-%EF%B8%8F6%EF%B8%8F%E2%83%A3/1322778340001291/

    Smog

    Most furnaces hate merv 13 (unless you replace filter box to allow folded filters with far more surface area). They cause a huge pressure drop and likely reduce flow rate enough that there is insuficient airflow and condenser ices up. A separate hepa system, bypass filter or homemade filter box...

    Without a doubt, digital is easier, cheaper and more accurate. Less cool though.

    Espresso most commonly. Grind affects timing greatly. Otherwise four minutes for French press. Drip should take six minutes but not much you can do to affect a machine so not really worth timing.

    Laid-off? GTAM Members looking-out.....???

    Getting an apprenticeship can depend a lot on who you know. Lots of losers trying to get positions so many firms dont really look at randoms. As per the other similar thread, if you have to do to pre-apprenticeship school, you spend a lot of time and money and I'm not sure it improves the odds...

    And this is why we still need thermal generating capacity

    Like police stats, avoid looking/reporting and the stats look good. Most turbines are surrounded by fields. If someone was looking for dead birds, that would be a day a year at most. Pretending that 14 birds a year is remotely an accurate number is embarrassing.
