Two of the stores in Albuquerque have 'em in stock. None here in Santa Fe.

I just had 3t (36k BTU) and 2t (24k BTU) Mitsubishi P-series Hyper-Heat ducted minisplits installed in my flat-roof house a little south of Santa Fe, replacing two 20yo Goodman package units running on propane. The Goodman units were working fine (although propane is expensive, even as I keep...

Don't try to drill a rubber stopper. Use a cork borer set, which is made for exactly this and are used all the time in chemical labs. I use my home set all the time cutting holes in rubber in the shop. One could probably make one for the specific hole size you need using an appropriate...

I just got a spammy marketing email from Permatex. But never got any orange thread locker. So indeed it looks like the whole thing was a scam to harvest email addresses. B*stards. I made a point of NOT buying Permatex when I got some purple thread locker the other day. And I guess I need...

I have a vintage, laboratory-grade Branson ultrasonic cleaner with heating. It’s not large — probably 7x7x5”. It’s built like a tank and will no doubt outlast me. I’ve used commercial/lab ultrasonic cleaners for years and I’d have a tough time moving to one of the cheap consumer versions...

The downside of Fluid Film, @lund, is its odor. It's definitely funky, and for some people (who have far better noses than I) it's simply nauseating. For me, I can smell it for a day and it's not offensive, but this is an area where YMMV. Woolwax is reportedly similar in function with much...

I’ve protected two Tacomas (2003 and 2015) with Fluid Film. They’re perfect underneath. FF doesn’t get completely washed off by road blasting, especially in the nooks annd crannies where corrosion can start, and an annual or semiannual reapplication will keep the truck protected. Seriously...

Do you spray your vehicle undercarriages once or twice a year with Fluid Film or equivalent, @lund? FF and (different) caps might keep the zerks usable.

I had two 16-footers last spring for my thousand-mile move from Saint Louis to Santa Fe. No issues. The pods were in good condition and the company did what they said they would regarding drop off, pickup, and delivery at the new location. Mine were at the front of my old driveway, so slightly...

Was the HF ad guy wearing safety glasses or other PPE? That’s the one that gets me.

I probably have a dozen or more IKEA metric/inch 3m tape measures around here. I’ve used them daily for years and haven’t had problem one. They're up to three bucks each now. Still a heckuva value. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/trixig-tape-measure-60564204/

15% off ALL Milwaukee, today only (23 September). Enter code at checkout: MWKE923 I finally got the 13" M12 bandfile I've wanted for a while.

Penetrating oil. Descriptive but not especially clever.

Costco has this made-in-USA 13-quart FloTool Extender Drain oil change kit online these days for $35. Item number 1963155.

Probably (with about 80% completeness): 3-4 shovels 2 garden hoses 1 Milwaukee battery trimmer 2 pole saws/loppers 1 hoe/cultivator Perhaps a shoebox-sized basket of hand tools. 2 20L fuel cans 1 large dustpan Not a lot, and it doesn’t all have to be there in the corner. But I’d like the...

Fershure. But I have that base covered pretty well in the detached garage/shop. Room for five vehicles in total under roof. I'm delighted with this space -- a lifelong goal. The shop, cluttered as stuff is everywhere during the insulation/drywall project in the other half. Room for one...

Some cleanup is nearing completion on the approx 19'w x 23½' two-car attached and 23½' x 42' two-car+workshop detached garages of the house I now live have in northern New Mexico. I'm thinking a corner of the attached garage will be a good place for the limited amount of yard and garden tools I...

For new H-track cans i got these one-piece focusable, color temperature-selectable heads the other week, Ryan. Fingers crossed they’ll be good LEDs and last a long time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C8S68LL3?tag=atomicindus08-20 There must be something equivalent for your track? Buying new...

Maybe get one of the kids or the wife to take it down? ...while you carefully steady the ladder! (Only 10 feet here as I put some LED light cans in my new shop's H-track last week.)
