Stay safe Aussie friends. I can't complain about the 2010's, and I've got hope for the 2020's.

I use 4x4 on boat ramps and in the snow more than anything else. It's rarely needed, but nothing else fills that need.

Rhyno posted:NE Indiana so we do get snow. It's not going to be the only vehicle but with the MS6 being a spazz it will likely be my main ride for a while but not permanently. Currently eyeballing a 2013 F-150. I drive 20 miles to work but my main route is non highway and it's a main road to the airport so they tend to prioritize plowing. I wouldn't worry about it. 2WD with a bunch of 60# sand bags in the bed should be fine. I'd take the money you save on a 2WD truck and put it towards a good set of tires or (even better IMHO) a set of wheels with dedicated winter tires. My wife's Honda Fit did fine in Upstate NY winters so long as it had good snow tires. We still run them here in coastal MA, but not as much. Her CX-5 has been good thusfar in snow/ice with the stock Toyo allseason tires, but it would be a monster with snows.

everdave posted:Found a green wire way back that is completely severed but all lights “work” but that one license plate light, new bulb did not solve. The crimp looks like the camper-body folks cut the original white wire and added on the black. Looks like they did the same with the red in the BG. I'd get a meter and start checking all the wiring after disconnecting all the bulbs and harnesses. I'll bet there are a couple of bad grounds or shorted together hots. Especially if it's ground-switched like Ferremit said. Is there any access in the fiberglass body to run new wiring, or is it vacuum-cleaner and bag+string time? Rhyno posted:I had a second set of stock wheels for the MS6 with winter tires so that's nothing new to me. Once I sell the 6 I'd likely invest in wheels and snows. ::edit:: everdave posted:Yes there’s is a completely broken wore missing an inch or two back there. But all lights work but that one license plate one. If I tried adding ground from that crimp to something what would I ground to? There is nothing but fiberglass and wood back there. Can I ground to like a piece of metal I add or anything or does it need to be part of the van already? Um, yeah, needs to go to the body/block/battery negative. You can run a new wire if needed. sharkytm fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Jan 6, 2020 |

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:i had it coming out from an open knee surgery complete with bone graft and when i came to i was like a 2 on the pain scale and when the fent wore off it was like an 8. that poo poo works good I don't love the subscription model, but boy do I understand it. It's recurring revenue, and that's how a company survives. I especially understand it with apps. The typical app has a growth period where it can survive on purchase price alone, but this rapidly deteriorates into only the "Mentos and Coke" folks buying it. Without recurring revenue, there's no income stream to keep the app updated, purchase servers/bandwidth, or improve things. It used to be with physical products, you could make money on repairs (car dealers, etc) or on obsolescence (PCs, consoles, etc). When it's digital goods and services, initial success becomes a veritable albatross around your neck.

There was an intermediate broker, but they are basically saying tough poo poo, take it up with the transporter. Lawyer up.

Tremek posted:Rottweiler, while acting normally, started peeing blood last night, so I took him to the ER animal hospital (and of course he puked in the Raptor, thanks dog) - turns out he has no platelets and is a very sick dog. How come good people get all the poo poo luck? Hopefully it's something they can fix quickly, and he's back up and running around soon. Pets are the best and the worst. But the best.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:The Herriot days of bartering eggs for animal care are long over. A friend of mine recently got into a veterinary program in one of the top three schools in the US and they're in for like, medschool amounts of loans lol. I worked in the top vet school in the country. The loans are high, the emotional impact is often huge, the potential earnings aren't great, and the pet owners are often assholes. I don't know how vets do it, but I'm sure glad they do.

That's the spirit! You only live once, and if you spend all your time waiting for the perfect time to do something, you'll never do anything but wait.

UnkleBoB posted:Any old timers still have an AI bottle opener? I've had mine on my key ring since they were made (I think it was 2003 or 2004? Time kind of blends together.) Can't count how many beers this thing has opened. Could probably stand to give it a clean, now that I look closely at it... I've got one somewhere, it was too bulky and pointy to be on my keys. Applebee's appetizer: that sucks! Hopefully your brain will adapt.
