They are new & I can't wait to get them in, going to do the 5 gallon air tank at the same time as it will use the same mounting points.

 

The antenna for my Smoothtalker cel booster was delayed a week, (the one that came yesterday) I ordered another and paid for expedited shipping this time, was supposed to deliver yesterday & was in PHX Sunday but no, somehow, Tuesday is on time for a Monday delivery promise???

You watched ONE game!

 

Easiest R&R ever!

I overthought the hell out of it.

 

Those look better. Glad it turned into a fairly easy process. Can't beat finding something that close to you.

 

Thanks, all I "need" now are the rims.

 

I'm leaning towards these LandCruiser heritage babies.

 

Booster that I need to be accessible if I need to bring it elsewhere is in its "permanent" home, I have another external antenna and an AC powersupply.

 

Fastest I've ever seen on cellular, the booster really works!

 

you are for sure watching porn on 1.5x speed.

 

I'm afraid to have sports video on the front display when driving, I listen to the radio versions

lol.

 

Becasue of distracted driving?
So what the hell do you watch? The road? The entire time!??! Oh my ADD!!!

 

I have been multitasking as long as I can remember, I am pretty sure I could drive & watch games/movies etc, I'm afraid of getting a ticket.

So, yup. I'm paying attention to the road crazy as it sounds when I'm driving.

 

Ah...
well, this is Florida.
Where we are going, we don't need roads.

 

35lb bucket of chlorine was 70 bux, then 140, now 209!

WTF????
https://www.toolsgroup.com/blog/chlo...ine%20shortage.

 

supposedly 1 of the only plants to make it burned down...
I've been massively annoyed at this for at least 2 years now.

 

Me too, I thought I was mistaken about the increase.

 

I thought it was covered under the malarchy covid supply chain chip shortage tanker fell in ocean excuse...
but then i read up on the fire

 

Leslies has 20% off, glad I did not buy last week.

 

if you blur your address, how am I to find where to steal a jug of chlorine tablets from?

 

We met with 2 pool builders last week.
1 of the 2 plants (1 in Louisiana) burned & spiked pricing.
We're likely going salt water, if we pull the trigger.

 

it's making it seem cheap to do the conversion, honestly.

 

On install, it's a 1k difference in price. Conversions I've seen in the 1-2k range.
IIRC, it's just replacing the in-line chlorinator with the salt/chlorine generator.

 

I'd loooove to just fill in the hole.

 

I feel that way at all .

 

Given the ballpark numbers I was given last week. I'm thinking a bit of pause on it, though I doubt the costs will decrease to 2016 levels.
My boss was sub-50k on his pool in 2017. The pool at my old house was large, complex, and was 89k in 2014.

 

I ordered this jack online Saturday, after 3 days no ship I looked & it's backorderd. HF said 20+- day (no promises) back order, call stores if you want one. Took calls to 6 stores, finally found one that had one & after a 60 mile round trip, it's mine. It's every bit at least 70 pounds (in the box)

I'm guessing a don't was stolen from that post?

 

It's freaking awesome, I can see myself pulling a Jackvana commercial, Did I tell you I bought a jack from Carvana?

lol

Here's my unboxing, top off:




The wheels & extension were on that level, here's the extension.




First layer removed:




Wheels on:




Fully assembled, it rolls like buttah!

 

Beastly jack, makes my low-pro look feeble.

 

First use, tackling the rear Dobinson shocks & airbag install.


Jesus! I HATE THESE SPRINGS!!!! (moving them) just under 2 full hours to get the spring out, airbag in & new shock in.

Hopefully the driver side won't be such a hemorrhoid. (taking a break, might do it tomorrow)

 

Why is it so difficult?
That jack is amazing but I would imagine it's not great on a slanted driveway.

 

The springs are very stiff & take up 99.9999% of the available space to get them in/out with full compression & pushing down on the suspension with another jack.

The jack is a knock off of this guy, it's mainly for offroad/unpaved surfaces & I'd not jack up a vehicle on a steeply slanted.

I am glad to no longer have such a steep (by Houston standards) driveway. Not having a garage & having to do all the DIY in the driveway, I'm grateful that it's flat.

 

Here's the dealio.

 

Spring/bag/shock done, just need to run the air lines.

 

All done, drove around over several speed bumps, no noise, feels great!

Looks great, just need a bit more sidewall to fill the gap.

 

Thanks, no doubt, I'm looking for the rims I want daily, if they show up under the 480 per new dealer price before these tires are near done, I'll get them, otherwise, my cheapness won't let me throw away good tires.

lol
