  1. When hot - Bud light lime

    When cooler - Modelo

    When out in woods - Newcastle

    When feeling rich (Not recently) - a good stout/porter

     

    Really just getting the new house/garage setup is kicking my butt

    6 yards top soil

    102 bags mulch

    New lights in garage (Wiring and installing)

    Mowing 5 acres in spare time (I know not aerobic)

  2. If you are looking for something simple (Kitchen variety) the little sharpener called a shark (12 bucks or less) that vacuum's to the counter. User for fish knifes and little ones in the kitchen. If you are looking for something more substantial learn how to use a stone (Maybe from the place off Cemetery road.. )

     

    Looks like everyone is re-branding the original one. Have two and bought for parents.

  3. The joke above about pulling the 6 volt battery and installing a small (Gel Cell) 12 volt actually worked and for a while. Had the old Blue ford one (Big foot like) and even screwed nails into the plastic tires so it had cleats. Thing flew, but battery life sucked.. If the old one is not in great shape highly suggest as it was fun for her ripping around in the yard (Remember it was almost unusable with the screws on pavement)..
  4. I have a 5 acre lot as well and recently saw 4-5 Wylie Coyotes running through the back yard. As I have a 5 foot stockade fence with chicken wire I should be OK. Also my dog is a Newfoundland and unless they are pack hunting she is ok (90 plus pounds). Lastly I put up a new trail cam at the back of the property to get more information about what is running past the back (Deer / Yotes and others I am sure).

     

    If this becomes an issue I may pick up a crossbow as I am a little too close to Grove City and traps not an option (Neighbor has a great German Sheppard and would not want to hurt)..

  5. Hers is a 2000. We found a unicorn, garage queen, 1 owner Ohio truck that was completely clean and 100% rust free. Might help to clean up the headlight lenses. Don't know that I'm really wanting to spend the money for a good set of LEDs. It sounds like the cheap ones will just burn out (or burn the truck down to the ground).

     

    Wow 2000 model year was the first (Had one too) and was a clam shell door access cab. Great truck and moved to a 2006 double cab because our daughter was a pain to get out of the back in parking lots. Should be a great truck and just update with better bulbs if the mrs's says they are too dim.

  6. Carol was just complaining the other day she doesn't think her headlights are bright enough in her Tundra. Maybe I should grab a set from this test. Thanks man. Oh, and fuck you too. :) Have a merry new year everyone.

     

    We recently picked up a used 2018 Tundra and it came with LED headlights. What year do you have?

     

    Might also be an option for my year/packages (Ours has appearance and TRD).

  7. Shoot so many options with the n54 and n55 engines it’s super easy to modify and also keep reliable . Unless you go insane a piggy back will handle most of your needs that the stock fuel system can handle

     

    Yeah piggy back from JB4 and have purchased off ECS for the past 3 years. Plans (if purchased) would be down pipe, catback (AWE/Borla) and a tune. Assume based off reading 400 plus awd reasonable without additional mods

  8. Currently driving a 2006 BMW M-Roadster (E85) and it has been rock solid (Tires and standard maintenance) for over 5 years. I have been thinking about another BMW (435iX) and curious if anyone on the forums are tweaking these motors (N55)? Really want a consistent/decent looking daily, but one I can do some bolt-on's and maybe a basic tune.

     

    Lots of support from other tuners and really looking for local experience (Or not).

  9. If you are looking for something sporty and with reliability why not a Z car. Multiples out there for $6-10K that look nice. Also a couple beaters if you want something to wrench on. Most of them are auto's too (Most kids these days are not into shifting)..

     

    One looks nice (But a vert) at Gender auto sales out in Anal Winchester (Yes I know Canal).. Only 60K on the odometer ($6950)

  10. Bought on of the cf ones that held 7 cards and a clip for $$. Could not get used to always pushing all 7 cards out to get to one (PITA). Sporting a regular leather one as a result and only item missing is something to block the scanners..
  11. My plan is to finish up the garage including getting my garage door installed and the concrete poured.

     

    Garage is a simple steel building 24x32 with a 12 foot ceiling (Might install a lift later)

     

    Hoping for something fun in 2020 with the delays in the garage and lack of additional budget. Still hate messing with my old vert (M Roadster) and have been thinking about an A/S5 Quattro with a V6 that might be fun to turbo (Not super)? That is going to do some research before committing. Hell maybe I can find another Dorito to play with??

     

     

     

    Miss wrenching.......

  12. Cool idea and like kids a good opportunity to personalize something. Guessing you could prototype a couple and show them at some of the Ohio events (See the BringFido pages). Another idea most people follow the male female colors so make sure to make M blue and pink (Subaru)? Cool idea and wish you luck as well.
  13. Just finished building with Regent homes (Small builder out of Hilliard). Not a fast builder, but thorough and high quality product. Really happy with my "big-old-ranch".

     

    If you want more information let me know:

    http://regent-homes.com/

     

    Mark Chamber's is the owner/builder

     

    FYI - I built on my own 5 acre lot..

  14. Brother is also in the NC area and Bermuda is prevalent. It also goes dormant in the fall/winter time frame. He has a better budget than me and puts it down as sod as it does not seem to grow/expand. GL
  15. Hmm another IT story.

     

    Been at it as a SME and a Manager for 20 plus years and still never completely understand it/IT. Mid June we let go of two good resources in Canada (Company decision) and just a week ago had to set one up as a contractor to help with the move. Guess this is just the odd world we are working.

     

    Oh figured I would throw out a couple IT terms since everyone else is in this thread :)

     

    hyper-converged

    Horcum

    HP UX

    SSD

    HPFM

    CEC

    Kernel

    Windows 2016/19

    RHEL 7/8

    Etc.

    Lets not forget hybrid cloud (Azure/GCP etc)

  16. Spent $5k on one from Hustler (Raptor SD 60") from JD Eeuipment and really happy. Plows through smaller trees and the seat dampens the bumps alot (But if a rough property it will still shake your innards). Kohler Pro motor and commercial deck.

     

    May want to think about that instead of a used one beat to hell.
