    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    To it's credit, it does try to get out of the left lane when faster traffic is coming up behind it. But it still annoys me that it wants to be there, lol.

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    I might consider subscribing for a month at a time when going on long road trips. I think that's where I'd find it the most useful, on highways for long periods. I found it really impressive the first time I used it, but using it the last few weeks I feel like it just gets annoying too often...

    Things that make you frown :(

    Sorry to hear about your pup as well. I know that news really sucks, but you get an opportunity to spoil her and be with her and comfort her during that eventual transition. I'd love to have that right now. It's hard, but try to see the blessing in that. My wife is really taking it hard...

    Cherish the time you have left. My dog was hit and killed by a car today. I'm heartbroken. Took this picture this morning.

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    At least you didn't buy $DWAC highs

    Garmin and iPhone

    Apple probably does it on purpose so you get frustrated and buy an apple watch instead.

    What Bird Did You See Today?

    I'm too lazy to take the pics from my camera right now, so here's a couple pics of the back of the real camera 🤣. This guy is still out front eating. Didn't stop when I went out onto the porch to take pics. I constantly see these guys swooping out of a row of pine trees in front of my house...

    Let's see your Walmart bikes!

    Is GT Walmart level? Been wanting to try out the gravel bike craze, and really wanted to do it as cheaply as possible. So when the opportunity to get this at a much lower price than the sale price on their website, I felt I couldn't refuse. GRX, hydraulic brakes, tubeless ready... Now I just...

    Hot water heater relief valve

    Took a trip to Florida this winter on one of the coldest weeks we had. The day we get there the thermostat emails me saying the boiler has been on for four hours and the house temp decreased 2 degrees. Had my neighbor come over so I can troubleshoot over the phone, figured out the low water cut...

    Cars, it's electric! Do Do Do

    At $12k it's a pretty hard sell. Tried it out a couple days ago with the free trial. It works really well. 18 mile trip from my house and it drove itself the entire way.

    2024 Lawn yard thread

    I did a microclover grass mix at my last house and it was great. That house was in suburban NJ, lol. It was often the greenest house in the neighborhood, only had to mow once a month, and was able to shut down the sprinkler system for years. Even in droughts it stayed nice and green. And the...

    I really like micro clover, but it's so damn expensive.

    The DIY thread - DIYourself

    . Back in May last year, I had a chimney company out to fix my leaking chimney. I was able to hear water dripping on the top of the firebox, and on harder rains the water would drip down the front glass of the fireplace box. It's a gas fireplace. They found the crown leaking, probably where the...

    Probably the most expensive option, but if you have jackshafts for your garage doors, I'd start replacing them with side mount openers. They are so much nicer. Easy install too. And you can remove all that crap hanging from the ceiling. LiftMaster Elite Series 8500W Jackshaft Garage Door...
