What about now? I was down about 1% yesterday and up about 0.5% today. Daily swings are interesting but almost meaningless if you are staying in. A bad day or two is normally followed by a good day or two (and vice versa). The long term trend is the important bit. EDIT: And now things have...

Rebuilding machines is fun. Lots of tests. So far I've needed to do plumbing, electrical, make gaskets, lap valves, polishing, etc. I've pressurized it with air to find most of the hiccups before I put water in and end up with a mess. A few tiny leaks somewhere that I can't find with air. Loses...

Some of the dodgier trading and/or betting platforms provide fake websites for their influencers to use. The fake sites make every trade a winner. When fact checked with the dates/times and real prices, they are almost universally losers.

Cleaned up some venting that had seen better days. Bought a few Inovate wall vent covers to replace a broken plastic cover and an aluminum dryer vent cover that had lost its flapper. They are skookum. Nice heavy guage, magnet closure to keep them closed and animals out but still pop open with...

It also allows manufacturer to mostly count on parking brake being set every time you park. That may allow some leeway in design of trans parking pin. I assume that most electronic ebrake vehicles will also set the brakes after a collision.

I would (and have) mounted them on top of 4' sonotube footings. Just design the connections at the top to deal with the racking (simplest solution is pretend it is the bottom of an elevated deck and install diagonal braces that deck would need). I don't like buried wood and I like wood encased...

Embedded posts deal well with torque at the base. Surface mount posts don't. Both ways can work. With the surface mount posts, you need to be extra sure that racking forces are dealt with so a heavily loaded roof and strong wind don't tip the legs over. Edit: Wind loads are no joke. My parents...

Don't I know it. Almost daily I see a car blasting through a red.

The gist of the problem was a momentary brain fart. Don't touch the ebrake button while the disc is removed. There is no logic, it just spins the motor and the threaded actuator inside the caliper comes apart. To fix it, you need to pull the piston, reassemble the ebrake rod, then reassemble the...

It's not a funny joke. Barf. Poor bike. At least he ruined a reasonably common bike.

Thank god that was far away and I didn't see it ahead of time. I'd buy cool crap like that and be stuck storing it forever.

If you're going to put the ridiculous turned up seat, at least install a Bosozoku style exhaust so it looks consistently weird.

As usual, expect no consequences for government employees, supervisors, etc that completely tanked the case. 2001 court case governs procedure, cbsa hadn't bothered to update policies to comply 22 years later and has now updated written policy but not training. Failing upward at every turn.

I think most "smart" chargers would be vastly improved if you could flip them into dumb mode. I have old dumb chargers just to get enough juice in batteries that smart chargers will try. I have a few nocos, a Ctek, a Konnwei and some old chargers. All of my "smart" chargers have some plusses and...

FIL has a similar one at the cottage. Engines and he do not cooperate so he loves the thing. The grass barely grows so I have no idea how good it is.

I left 1/4" on compressors. In the hoses/pipes there is ~3 gallons of capacity at full tank pressure with a step down to ~100 psi at the manifold. The main plumbing is 3/4" copper bought when rona was going bankrupt the first time. I'm normally only using a few second hits at full flow. With a...

I have Type V fittings as most of my quick connects. They flow a ton more than typical fittings. Typically flow about one size above (1/4" type V flows about the same as 3/8" standard). I have the 3/4" reel as it makes a magic difference in power. 1/4" is fine for inflating tires and most nail...

Any compressor with a tank is good enough. Small compressors make you wait longer between uses. Hose adds tank capacity so the system runs less often than tank only (but longer each time). I have 1/4" and 3/4" hose reels in the garage and 1/4" in basement (mainly for blasting dryer lint). Most...

Did you snap the old ones or just creaking?

Another solid effort by Brampton drivers to remove themselves from the gene pool. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2002599897068295
