I already have one.. It's a '13, but it's kinda outdated and not as nice as my old Giant.

I like chemical guys. I'll look into their starter kit.

I can't wait to try that Megs endurance gel, plus it was only $7.97 at Wally World.

I was organizing the garage last night after mowing the lawn and replacing the fuse, and I noticed I have a lot of Megs' products.

Yeah it was a great price. Too good to pass up. It was 300 bucks cheaper than my last frame which was used and two years old.

Finally did the LED conversion on the dining room light fixture. No more shitty circline fluorescent bulbs

Before:
Attachment 35410


After removal of bulbs and ballast:
Attachment 35411

New diodes and transformer:
Attachment 35412

Prepped surface with IPA to promote adhesion. Taped down the strips. Cut some small jumper wires to connect them in series

End product:
Attachment 35413


Total time: 1.5 hours

Now to go do sisters oil change..


If this were J, he would have been done with a full timing belt replacement in the time it took to do this but we can only aspire to be like him

Thanks Johnny...
busy fuckin day yesterday...I'll be updating my thread shortly.

Managed to get back out to the local mountain bike trails...I had a fall I'd been owed for not falling for like 3 years. Sore AF today...too high a gear going up a climb onto a bridge switchback, unclipped...left foot slid off bridge, and my fat ass followed...rolled/slid about 25 feet to the bottom of the hill, head narrowly missing a steel post they put in (for added excitement?). Anyway...felt good to remember not to be complacent cause it's somewhere I've never fallen before.

Good morning and happy Easter (to those that celebrate today). Forgot this weekend was Easter weekend. I'd like to do the lower intake runners, but not sure since time is limited. Going to the wife's family house today.

sorry to hear Kevin.

Chad...I got the HIC on without visors...looks amazing. Funny enough, I agree on going OEM, but the HIC make me wanna try them...since my oems clear faded so badly...I kinda want to give them a shot for $50...and they're shaped like OEM too. Plus, no clips to deform the oem rubber door seals.

Because there's no clips the top of the visor is flat. I assume to give space to be adhered to the car. I don't like that curve/flat area... Plus they are out of stock and are preorder only. :/

I wish I wasn't afraid of tempting fate with the dash and interior temperatures cause I like how it looks without it.

Speaking of sad deaths...just pulled a 9' alligator off the side of I-95. Got hit by something pretty big. Poor guy...dragged him over to the water and said a few words...
Always makes me so sad that nobody stopped to scare him back into the water instead of just plowing through.
