Time before that was cracking loose a rusted-in bottom bracket. I had to do one of those earlier this summer. In the end it took a vice, a bar breaker, and ~250 lbs force (and of course the special bike tool.) I bought a heavy bar breaker on special at Canadian tire, and I'd say it's been the most effective tool I own. I have to deal with a large amount of corrosion, y'understand-

I’m at the beach and people throw away a ton of stuff after sunset either bc they are leaving or flying home or whatever. I found a 10x20 pop up canopy in the rolling case with the canvas ripped up. First is this worth keeping frame looks like it’s been used a week. Second can I set this up semi permanently in a backyard with like a tarp for a top to use for working on cars? It weighs well over 100 pounds I don’t want to drag it 500 miles home if it’s stupid and a waste.

If it's just sitting in your car for 500 miles, BFD. Take it home and see if it's useful. If it's not, haul it to the dump later. Nobody here is going to be able to tell you if it's going to be useful or not.

It fits in the car now because all our stuff is out of the trunk and cargo carrier. Just didn’t know if anyone had used one like that more than a temporary structure. I’ll try to do some Tetris style poo poo with it and see how hard it will be to get all the luggage and gear arranged around it for the trip home next weekend.

Today was my last day at work after 2.5 years at the fabrication shop I've been at. I decided back in May to start fixing my house up to sell it and go traveling for awhile. I'm nearly done with work on the house and a few months behind schedule so I decided it was time to put my notice in so I could finish things up. It felt so weird to pack my tools up and say goodbye to everyone there. I've never been able to leave a job like this on my own terms. I've also never had co-workers excited for me before either. So that feels pretty weird to me too.

Bear with me, dialling in the new camera      - I like this one even if focus didnt hit as I wantedHad to add lens profiles and corrections and after some more experimenting it's coming up good  - pixel peep that lovely photo and note, this is ISO 6400 handheld at 1/30thThe files are hilariously large and it's not even a full frame. Also... I dont remember my other APS-C cameras blowing out backgrounds like this. I think there's some sort of computational thing going on CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Oct 11, 2019 |

It weighs well over 100 pounds I don’t want to drag it 500 miles home if it’s stupid and a waste. If it's an "EZ-UP" brand one (which I don't think it is if you're saying it's well over 100 pounds, EZ-UPs are aluminum-framed) you can buy replacement arms and canopy tops/sides. If not, it's probably not worth your time because A)Those things are pretty fragile, and in a "semi-permanent" situation all it takes is one good gust of wind to send it hurtling across your yard destroying everything in its path and ending in a crumpled pile of metal arms and fabric, and B)Those things have also become a dime a dozen over the years, if you look around you can get pretty big ones on sale for like $120 or something. You should still find a dumpster or something to throw it and some of the other trash in if you don't take it though. E: Also they always skeeve me out, because even when they're staked or anchored down, I've heard horror stories about them taking off like a hang-glider. Several incidents at the race track of them taking off and damaging parked cars, and one lady got taken out by a rogue pop-up canopy and had to go to the hospital for stitches in her head. They're a Godsend on a hot, sunny, cloudless day tho. T-Square fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Oct 11, 2019 |

Okay, I've had this car a few days. I've put less than 75 miles on it. But I already see why Subarus have such a cult-like following. The suspension creaks, groans, and is obviously well past its use-by date. It shakes pretty good under throttle thanks to the roached inner CV joint up front. The car is pretty beat up in terms of the body (both bumpers damaged, one foglight cracked and aimed low, both rear quarters damaged from what I'd guess was parking by braille in a garage). But something this loving heavy has no business handling as decent as it does. And the butt dyno says it's a bit quicker than the Saturn off the line, probably equal in passing power, which is weird since it's 700 pounds heavier (with a 30 hp advantage.... 143k ago), automatic, has a dead O2 sensor, and has AWD sucking up some of that power. AWD seems to work; the entry to my apartments gets slick as all hell when it's raining - the Saturn would spin the tires if I was in 1st or goosed it in 2nd. I stomped it in the entrance coming home from work and just went, no spinning of tires, no sliding, it just grabbed (it's also front and rear LSD according to the VIN decoder, so that's surely helping - same with the meaty tires on it). And it's just a nice, well equipped car in general. I've never had anything with antilock, LSD, AWD, heated seats, etc. PW/PM/PL is as nice as it got for all of my previous cars. It's also one of the cheapest cars I've owned (cheapest being a 95 Civic - $200 - with a fried clutch and salvage title from a friend.. 2nd being an 88 Accord for $1800, but that was in 1999 dollars). New O2 (Denso, which is supposedly OEM) should be here today, I'll probably replace it tomorrow after work. Swung by the dealer I got it from to get a side by side shot. Negative Ions is exactly where I left it a few days ago. The owners didn't even bother looking at it, I was upfront with the fuel leak and transmission issues (since they were upfront with what they knew the Subaru needed), they said they'd send it to auction and "I'll probably get $150 to $300 for it... I'll offer you $300". $20 less than what peddle.com was going to give me, but they never showed up to pick it up. I agreed that it'd be best to auction it unless they wanted a really angry customer; the cars they sell are almost all beaters, 95% of them are <$5k (the bulk are under $4k). It's very rare to find a small dealer that sells beaters with decent reviews, but they have a 4 star rating on Google. They also didn't bother doing any interest on the loan (it's not much of a loan though), just a handshake agreement to pay at least $200/mo until it's paid off (so if I do that, 3 months... hoping to do it in a month - I'm sure they paid ~$500 for it at auction anyway, so even if I ran off with it, they've made money on it). I'm kind of expecting it to throw a catalyst code once I replace the O2 sensor; I ordered an O2 spacer just in case for the rear sensor. If the cat is bad, I'll replace it soon, but I need to get it smogged within 2 weeks (we only do an OBD2 check here, no sniffer).  Grakkus posted:If you don't, Ryobi stuff is great and not too pricey. I got a torch and impact earlier this year and it has changed my life. Meanwhile my Ryobi impact died quickly, and they claim what it's doing is "normal operation".  I mean... it still spins, but it spits sparks out of the vents the entire time, and smokes if I use it more than about 30 seconds. Something's fucky with the brushes. slidebite posted:If it's anything like here there is a seperate valve inside your house where it comes in for shutting it off. That's where you shut it off if you are doing your plumbing, your not messing with the city service valve on the street coming off the subdivision main. It sounds like he's trying to replace the pipe from the meter to the house, which you can't really do without shutting off the meter. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Oct 11, 2019 |

there's a 900% chance that the movie is poo poo CGI carriers look awful nobody disagreed that Midway was the target! it was an intelligence subterfuge coup. playing up that "washington disagrees" poo poo, shameful inexplicably there are G3Ms dropping small bombs, what the gently caress? the sky is too loving crowded, all the time scope seems to be absurdly expansive as for some reason they are showing a SBD in what appears to be New Guinea, as well as a bunch of pearl harbor poo poo you could make a really good movie about midway but this ain't it

1917 looks like it could be pretty dope, saw the trailer last night at the theater. Got a last minute invite to see Joker last night, someone else bailed and they already bought the tickets. Wasn't really ever planning on seeing it otherwise, but drat that was a pretty loving good movie. Phoenix is an incredible actor. Buncha teenagers walking out of the theater were all whining about how disturbing it was

Our nice little airport has somehow turned into a massive disaster since last time I flew. Day started off good until we gave the dogs treats before heading to the airport. One got close to another and got nipped in the ear...blood everywhere. Got it cleaned up and only out the door 15 minutes early. Get to airport hour and a half before 6:45 flight, it's a dinky 12 bay airport so even 45 minutes is usually plenty of time. Line is four to five times longer than I've ever seen it, knew right away I wasn't going to make my flight. Desk agent couldn't move my flight until I missed this one.. So stand in line for an hour and not even half way up. Call Delta, get moved to 7:30 flight which I also missed. Moved to a 8:00 flight that took off as I finally got to security. Moved flight a fourth time to 10:30. At this point I was thoroughly sick of the airport and people coughing everywhere around me so cancelled the flight and I'm staying home to work on the race car instead. Sucks because I was looking forward to a weekend at the track with Dad but after all that bullshit to have two connections and another 5-6 hours in airports/planes I was done. A four day weekend with the wife will be nice though, can make a lot of progress on the car and knock out a lot of the fall yard work.

It weighs well over 100 pounds I don’t want to drag it 500 miles home if it’s stupid and a waste. I don't know about semi-permanent, but I use my Northern Tool 10x10 to work on my car out in the driveway in Texas sun without catching on fire. I do make it a point to at least lower the legs down (so it's basically sitting almost resting on the car) if not remove the canopy overnight or if I don;t plan on working on it the next few days. Without the canopy, they don't tend to fly off near as much.  The canopy is fairly easy to remove when it's the fitted one. I presume a generic tarp would be super simple.If it weighs 100 pounds, it would be steel, so potentially more durable. Most are aluminum. 10 x 20 is pretty big for one of the pop-up style.

rear end end of the Outback is definitely getting power. Stomped it in a parking lot with GF in the car around a turn in an empty lot, rear end end kicked out pretty good. Corrected easily despite the screaming in my right ear, without lifting (much).  This car is a loving hoot. Pretty sure it has summer tires on it; it's in the low 40s and raining, and it can't hook up for poo poo. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Oct 11, 2019 |
