I think I need one of those projectors in my room…ha. On the coolant. Regardless of what manufacturer’s say, I think the 4 year drain and fill is a good idea as the additive package in the coolant is refreshed when you do it. I’d also suggest that a drain/fill is all you need. I’ve done this...

Sweet. That is a bill for sure, but I’m sure quite nice to have your wheels back. Hopefully it will be your last water pump.

It's a good sign that they have a few Vanagons in the lot...no one wants to work on those (I can say that cuz I had one)! Between all the Audi and Porsche logos in the lot, pretty sure you've taken the car to the right place too. We really have no specialist shops here due to the lower...

Now that’s a slick vid! It must be very cool to get exclusive sneak peaks like that and then work with footage shot by pros :) Use “Funky Chicken” with my blessing…ha. Those fix it vids tend to be the best performing after time on the YT channel and other than the inconvenience, require zero...

Spent the weekend out at the camp, and even had a camp fire as the fire ban has lifted. Aside from the summer pretty much gone, and burnt areas all around us, you'd never know it sitting at our site. Our CRV had the same issue and I just cleaned the contacts in the switch. The Nissan setup is...

The seat belt in our 2018 LEAF was acting funky chicken, and the seat belt light was staying off, even with the belt off. This is not a good situation as the belt should obviously latch and unlatch correctly. Additionaly the SRS needs to know if a seat is occupied, and if the occupant is...

That pot/pan difference was exactly the motivation to start experimenting a bit. Glad you enjoyed this :-)

Having literally just finished merging two 100 amp fuse panels on separate meter bases to one 200 Amp service I would make a suggestion. Consider using the 60 slot 200A panel, instead of the 40. This will allow you to use full size breakers vs tandems, which makes for a much cleaner/spaced out...

Here's a quick short worth checking out if you're thinking about installing the Emporia VUE 3, particularly if you're using two units:

https://www.lg.com/ca_en/laundry/dryers/dlhc8402w/ I believe it's nominal power rating is about 750 watts, 3.1A@240V, but I'm guessing the 300 watt reports from Emporia users is in Eco mode or similar. From GPT: Spec DLHC8402W Supply 240 V, 60 Hz Rated power 750 W 208 V operation 740...

I would have lost my sh%#^*t too. It does sound like taking this up the ladder to corporate might be in order. The car does look amazing. I still do a head turn every time I see a GTI or R.

I have a terrible lot for solar as trees shade our south facing surfaces for much of the day :-(. I’m seriously looking at a shed though with a 5kw grid tie setup.

The full size LG (new) model only uses 300 watts…crazy.

Reolink sent me the battery powered doorlink cam, but even wired with 24V, it limits charging via the rear terminals...so Frigate simply kills the battery. What does work is running USB-C to the camera as the firmware allows a faster charge rate via USB-C.

The home hub has two SD card slots so any cameras attached to it would record there. Useful if someone steals/destroys a camera. It can also participate in the alarm system if that's something you're using on the cams. I have an alarm set on the back lane camera 2am-6am to discourage folks...

One is a bridged SHAW cable/modem, the smaller one is actually a Reolink home hub. Reolink sent me some product to review on the YT channel so that hub, other than serving as a doorbell and backup NVR, provides RTSP access to the Reolink doorbell cam for the Frigate VM running off that little...

Thanks for the kind words. Now very few people ever see that room so I guess it’s just between me and garage journal…ha. I understand and thanks for posting up the clip :) The editor (you??) makes very effective use of silence too in the slides. I will never be a skilled editor, however I do...

This is the final chapter in the electrical room upgrade. The basement theater has been a disaster for a full week now during the panel upgrade and network reorganization as I've been using it as the workroom... Previously, the LAN/network portion of the electrical room was just loose CAT5...

The basement theater has been a disaster for a full week now during the panel upgrade and network reorganization. Previously, the LAN/network portion of the electrical room was just loose runs to a switch on a wire shelf. It was chaos. Now, not so bad for a house well over 100 years old. I...

I would assume most folks have insurance but it was super odd at camp as we were there on a Saturday (usually busy) but no one was there. I think there is some survivor guilt going on there among other things. You’re right though, it’s all just stuff.
