‘Wait until he asks you to install it in your bedroom or master bath shower.

‘…this is a little embarrassing, when I moved I had to cut the outlet line hose and ball valve off, and I haven’t replaced it yet. Currently it’s cobbled together without my water separator installed…but I rarely run air tools anymore. A while back I was looking to create a clean white backer board of HVLP (sic/sp?) to attach all my air compressor supplements to…regulator air separator, etc

🤣 Too many holiday weekend drinks onboard, and tons of off-roading so far... I was at first intrigued, next confused, and last entertained, and chuckling.

Some interesting thoughts and stories regarding compressor on or off. The fire hazard being the most concerning. I’ve started leaving my compressor energized and obviously the motor doesn’t turn on until the pressure drops. I use an air chuck frequently to blow dust off myself after mowing, airing up tires, drying spark plugs, (did all three today), cleaning guns, etc. I like having instant air on demand, and I have several air stations and lots of hose on hose reels. So it takes a while for my system to get up to pressure. That said, I think I’m going to go turn it off.

The floating banjo had me pretty confused.

LOL

Cal, Pretty certain Oscar was describing the effect a ring wearing man has on single chicks who want to fuck, and don’t care that the guy is married. Some chicks in fact like to fuck married guys as there are guaranteed to be no strings, no drama, no phone calls. Just rough, dirty, sex. Or at least so I heard when I was married to my first wife and used to wear a wedding ring.

Good info, thank you!

Keep us posted on how the snake oil works. My pole barn is metal and might need a “boost”.

Says the guy who doesn’t want to move his WiFI router 25’. 🤣

Same, I also keep the shop heated to 50.

I am tempted to buy the Rejuvenator based solely on how many vehicles I have that just sit around my property. My F-350 water truck needed a jump last time I needed it AND it was on a trickle charger....that battery might be too far gone, and that Ford "might" get driven monthly at most, and lately quarterly. What did you do to murder the last Rejuvenator? Asking so I won't repeat the mistake. From reading the listing it appears it can simply also work as a traditional trickle charger.

I had to Google this convinced it was a typo for Taco Bell. Nope. It's a real think in KS. 😜

You will have to add @02XXCA he was the one who recently lost a bar end. I think the installation is a likely culprit. Been many years, but I thought installation required blue Locktite?

Same thing happened to Chris on his last visit via XX to my house.

I pay about $100 for them at Costco. I may have to shop a NAPA in the Seattle area.

+1 I ran those on my Concours C14 as it was kind of buzzy slabbing down the highway. They really Neutralized vibrations. .

How much out the door for the NAPA battery?

...good to know about Interstate.

We do have NAPA in the People's Republik of Washingtonizstan. However, the one in my tiny town prices things 2x's higher than reasonable. That said, I will have my sons who are on the more inhabited/Communist side of the state check for me. Good tip!

Thanks Tomek. Have you had good or bad experiences with Johnson Controls provided batteries?

Hi Joe, Sadly, every Sam's Club store in Washington State closed, which was a huge bummer as I really liked them. I have not seen East Penn brands like Deka or MK on the West Coast, but I will defer to other Left Coasters to chime in and advise if they have seen them. Finding a better product out here might be my next step. In January 2018, Sam's Club closed all of its stores in Washington State, which included locations in Auburn, Renton, and Seattle. This decision was made as part of a broader company-wide retrenchment, including the closure of 63 stores across the U.S., according to The Seattle Times. The closures affected approximately 495 jobs in the Seattle area, according to The Seattle Times. The decision to close the Washington State locations was attributed to a review of the company's portfolio and a focus on better managing resources, according to KOMO. Additionally, the cost of maintaining stores in Washington was reportedly higher due to their distance from the company's distribution centers, according to KOMO.

So, I’ve noticed in the last 4-5 years I have been going through new car batteries at a pretty high clip. I typically buy Costco batteries because of price and well, Costco. My last set of Costco batteries in my old diesel truck went over 15 years. Fast forward a few years. My 2009 Lexus SUV shit a battery on a trip to Idaho and leaked all over the engine compartment. I spent the better part of a day with baking soda, sanding, priming painting. Battery in my 1997 Jeep Wrangler puked all over my shop floor and again in the engine compartment. 2 weeks ago the “2023” battery in our 2004 Lexus, you guessed it dead, but no massive leak. (Bought this car last fall used don’t know much about the history). Last year I put a new battery in my wife’s 2018 Subaru Outback as the old one has leaked all over the compartment. I did not install this original Subaru battery a tire shop hired by the dealer did and they would not warranty it as I didn’t buy it from them, e Subaru dealer did. Tonight, I am topping off the oil, because Subaru and “burns oil” rhymes…? As I am looking in the engine compartment at the battery wearing a “2024” sticker I am instantly disgusted. The last battery leaked all over the compartment. I previously cleaned, sanded and repainted all of her clamps. Tonight they are all covered in corrosion. Couple thoughts. I know I am a common denominator. But I don’t drive my wife’s car. Curious if I over tightened the clamps on installation? Then there are our liberal, communist roads…. …especially I-90, looks like the runway at Tan Son Nhat airbase in South Vietnam during the fall of Saigon, cratered to hell. You literally dodge the pot holes in the freeway or you are forced to hit them by the semi passing you. I wonder if the shitty roads here and massive miles my wife piles on cars is destroying the batteries? Or are new batteries, even Costco ones just built more shitty? Pics of tonight’s disco.

Funny what those two wives had in common…😜

When you hit rock bottom and are scraping to get by.
