I carry a heavy duty air compressor that's several times as fast as the $9.99 ones but I'm thinking of the power pack as well. Two reasons, I might need it or not looking callous if someone else needs a boost. How often does it have to be topped up if not used? Can we dispense with the lithium...

Be careful of getting into a street fight with a street fighter unless you have serious backup. Identifying the perp: Have you asked the police if you can go through mug shots of anyone released on remand in the last couple of days. Sarcasm

This is less than a quarter the price but my wife asked what I would use it for and it came down to the bird bath and the bicycle. She does the bird bath with a brush and the bike can be done with a carwash mitt. Deep thought saves money.

I wouldn't trust them in sand. OK for something on shore with more holding power and you'd need two to keep the boat from swinging I have some similar things in mild steel kicking around. You're welcome to them if you want to try but they were meant for pets.

City tap pressure is 40 to 80 PSI and this is 2 to 4 times. I was thinking about bike seals and bearings when doing a light cleanup. The 1500 to 2000 PSI isn't recommended. My 120 volt one has about 150 feet of combined supply and delivery hose and power cord. It's a pain to pull out to clean...

I've heard the system excuse and don't know enough to say one way or another. Some say a failure is an accumulation of events. At the price of modules, I don't want to do the research. If I had to, I would disconnect one battery terminal as that should isolate my car and its modules. Nasty...

Is 174 PSI a problem? https://www.costco.ca/fanttik-k100-flip-portable-cordless-electric-sprayer%2C-foldable-pressure-washer.product.4000333732.html

There's a good YouTube video that starts with the bracket and runs through the multiple steps. It's tedious but makes sense. There's a pleasant comfortable sound to a well-adjusted derailleur.

That's a really nice pace. Crash diets are disasters in the long term. I know a couple of people that did diets with injections and they had problems. Lose weight too fast and your body goes into survival mode, learning how to live on incredibly low calorie counts and it never resets. Consider...

It worked reasonably well until the cycle shop "Fixed" it. It's the lowest gear, the one you need most when going uphill and dodging a rock while trying to keep up momentum.

I saw a condo complex turn into a vertical slum when the government started paying the rent for people used to lower standards. That caused more original owners to move and investors took over the building. It was a gold mine for the investors. Guaranteed income and lowering maintenance costs...

Scrapping a car over a head gasket seems ridiculous but when it's several thousand because the vehicle has to be dismantled to get at the gasket it hurts. Even new modules have issues and there was no guarantee on Goldwing Reg / Recs from Honda. At $400 a pop, alternator conversions were...

Your time is worth nothing to anyone. "We are experiencing a large volume of calls" BS. They are understaffed but heaven forbid they hire a few more staff and the call takers get a few seconds between calls. I spent five minutes of my time yesterday answering a survey as to why I closed my...

I ignore anything FB. A guy in, I think it was in K-W, kept seeing people eyeballing his recently purchased home. When he asked why they told him it was regarding the rental ad on FB marketplace. Someone had taken the real estate photos and made a rental add. First and last etc He contacted...

Thanks. However until bikes get electronic control modules, tweaking brakes and gears should be an owner responsibility, like fixing a flat. I used to rebuild my Sturmy Archer three speed hubs every winter. If I totally screw up I’ll give you a call.

My derailleur was a tad out of adjustment so I took it into a shop for a tune up. They made it worse. :( YouTube and DIY here I come.

The Mrs noticed an increase in the water bill and we tracked it back to a slightly leaking toilet. Shutting the valve at night showed on the meter as there were no other uses. Water was a common expense at my industrial condo and was out of line. An inspection found several toilets running...

What doesn't make sense to me is: "Tolls are collected when leaving PEI." When you go to centre Island you pay the fare to get there, return is built in. If you overspend on popcorn and rides you don't have to swim home. At the PEI bridge you're held hostage if you run out of money.

True but even ICE is getting beyond backyard fixes. Is the independent shop doomed? TBH it's more a problem of low wages than high tech. Increase wages to make assisted housing and car price problems diminish. Then the economy has to readjust and that isn't simple. The rabbit hole is deep.

Chow's committees with their diverse opinions, Ford's committees with their diverse opinions and Carney's committees with their diverse opinions equals confusion to the third power.
