It's a lovely, sunny summer day. A great day to enjoy a crisp, cool beer in the sun. Or in my case, a chilled cider.  I tried some of this - the idea of a cider part- brewed from berries seemed like it could have some interesting and complex tastes. The packaging makes it seems somewhat sophisticated. Mother fucker is just cider and black in a can. i.e. cider and Ribena  I haven't drunk this poo poo since I was 17 and wearing black jeans and a metallica t-shirt.

I just saw this one in the junkyard, you need any parts? I'm pretty sure the drivetrain is good. i might take the grille to put on my wall as it looks like my car's That looks like an '06? LQ9 is a great motor. It'd be SO much better hooked up to a non-stupid transmission. The only think I need on that car is the last "E" from the "ESCALADE" on the passenger door... mine's missing the top arm. If you can grab it, I'll pay a couple bucks for it!

A few months back 14 inch picked up a long-sought-after stereo for me during his dental trip. I won't get to deep into the details of how much I wanted it because I'm a selfish prick. About 20 minutes after powering it on and having it run, the it ate its bridge rectifier and a few random PSU transistors on the secondary power supply. Since then, it's been sitting in the corner until I had time to work on it. This past week was midterms for my first (of five) semesters, and this upcoming week only has two classes as a kind of refractory period, so I decided to open it back up. My supplies are limited, but I do have a few baggies of generic poly capacitors and standard 1N4007 diodes. Like AvE says, if it's hosed you can't gently caress it any more, so why not take a shot at fixing it?   This area got a bit hot when it self-destructed, and took out the traces on the bottom of the board  I've got a few sins to atone for, add this to the pile  As well as my temporary heatsink for the improper transitor  Funny enough it's running right now just fine with that exploded diode (that broke on my first resurrection attempt), but the radio sound output is poo poo. I should probably replace that. But otherwise its running right now, and that's better than not at all. I am not ashamed.

Enourmo posted:That's loving insane. Maybe it was some slapped on later addition to deflect rain and they built it the dumbest way possible? Keep us posted. Took the soffit off and found pretty standard joists....  But then stuck the camera up in and to the right.....  That's in between the joists right where the post was, and it all looks original. Would that piece in between the joists even be able to hold any load? I mean wouldn't have been smarter to put the post directly under the joist if it was meant for any kind of support? I don't get it. As far as rain deflection, could be because it does not drain off that side at all, the water drains off the pitched part of the roof and makes a hard left creating a giant waterfall at the entrance of the car port even if it's pouring rain it will not go off the side of the roof with the posts on it.

Turns out that busted diode was on the lighting circuit for the add-on CD unit, meaning the button lights flicker a bit when it has higher load, like changing CDs. No biggie, gonna throw a big cap on there and play it as is. E: have it set up in stress test mode right now. Gonna let it chooch for awhile while watching something with BT headphones.

I’m not crazy, right? No one services window/portable ac units, right? I’ll be damned if I can find anyone that does near me. And I don’t want to shell out $300 for a new one and junk one that mostly works. And I’m not about to shell out for central on a house that we’re definitely not staying at for more than a few years. And this is so dumb. Have I mentioned that?

You kinda answered it yourself. If a new one is only $300, who is going to pay for parts and service on fixing one? Seems like nearly any repair would rapidly equal the replacement cost. If they're like any small refrigerator I've ever seen, they may not even have refrigerant service ports. Depending on the fault I'd personally at least give it a quick stab of the ol' AVE "can't gently caress it any worse". But then again I live in AZ so I would probably have about five minutes to do that before getting sent to the store to replace the fucker.

Nobody is really going to waste their time with a windowshaker, since pretty much any service for it is going to cost as much if not more than a unit.And for the most part, they're really not designed to be serviceable.

Saw a first gen F body tonight - probably a Camaro but it was dark and I didn't see the nose - with some amazing LED taillights. They lit up incrementally in the direction of the signal, but with so many individual LEDs and steps that it just looked like a fluid motion. I now want to see how many columns of LEDs I could fit in my C10's skinny rear end lights.

Speaking of spark plugs, has anyone heard of ruthenium spark plugs yet? I found a listing for some ngk ones on a subaru this week and was kinda intrigued. Some basic googling turned up a patent for ruthenium in spark plugs by federal mogul ignition (Champion), but nothing that really went hardcore into where it falls compared to platinum or iridium plugs.

I've got my TV running through my childhood stereo, watching GitS, eating mug cake, and am going through puberty. Feels like 2004 again but with better resolution.

If it's not in writing and signed by a judge, then it's her rear end when she doesn't drop off the kids right on time. Write everything down that she's saying and doing, with date and time. Take a breath, call your lawyer. If she or her mother have any particular vices it sounds as though they need to be documented, because they've made their warning shot. (There's a part of me that thinks you should sell your guns for a dollar to someone who will simply hold them and sell them back for a dollar after it's all said and done. "Judge, I'm so committed to maintaining a healthy and safe household for these children that I sold all of my guns. Here's the bill of sale." But In Tennessee probably no one gives a poo poo except a vindictive ex-wife and her equally vindictive mother.)

Can confirm Old Mout is good poo poo, berries is win. The kiwi and lime one is delicious but is brutally harsh on my stomach. And there's a reason people refer to it as 'Wrongbow' Oh and in Ireland they have one called Orchard Thieves, it is the single best cider I've had, that poo poo was so good. So of course I look for it in England and find it and buy a load. It's different. And rank. The Irish bottled stuff is just bang on, the English stuff complete trash.

When outside temp is above 85, I'm measuring a 10 degree differential. Condo will sit at 76 all day long but HVAC will run in high stage all day long. Will not go any cooler. Rooftop unit not showing any signs of icing. Electric bill is not out of line - $200/mo for 1700 sq ft.
