LOL, cut any corners for that shiny penny. It's not like anyone cares anymore about retaining customers. The metric is all about *getting* them, not keeping them. I'm just going to buy the cheapest phone they offer, a moto g power. Had one, it was slow, but served it's purpose.

Thanks for the offers and thought. Neither of the android phones are compatible per spectrum. My phone is a Samsung A53 5GUW. Advertised as dual sim but it is not. I found lots of complaints online that dual sim does not work on this phone. The sim tray is marked for SD card, not as sim2/micro SD.

I signed up to try out a different provider. Still keeping my Verizon account but wanted to try a different service. They had a good deal on a pixel 8 pro but that deal disappeared as soon as I decided to go for it. My old Pixel 2 is not compatible and I'm not interested in laying out a lot of money for an experiment. I know some of you guys swap phones like underwear. Anyone have a "relatively new" phone they don't need anymore? Thanks!

Congratulation on moving forward. Did you point the fellow in our direction?

Excellent. I was going to offer 1800 because I don't need another one.

I'm not making this up. This is the voice of experience.

Sure you do. Use something long and thinner at one end to prise under the to door and raise it up a wee bit. Put a block under the door, reset your prising bar, and repeat until there is room for your hydraulic floor jack. Now you're in business. Raise the door with the jack, block it up, and lift the door again using whatever you can find...4x4 post, two 2x4's secured together, etc. keep lifting until the door is at least halfway up. As more of the door passes the 90 degree corner, less weight will be direct lift and you should be able to push the door up by hand. You did it! Just you and your friends leverage and hydraulics!

Yes. Hydraulics or 3 large friends.

That is sooo far from reality...

I'm not measuring the degree of accuracy, just whether the marked point is indeed accurate. I've cut up wheels before just to have the hub as a mounting point for checking brake disks. Not that much metal in them

As long as I have a hub, spokes, and three points of contact for the tire it will be fine. It's not a high speed balance, it's just to verify the light/heavy point of the tire, presumably already marked. I'm sure an abrasive disk will go through an aluminum wheel.

After taking way too much time and weight to balance a wheel I was mounting for Racer, I decided I am going to check balance on tires and wheels before they are joined. I have plenty of old wheels I can cut down to make a tire hanger.

I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I just need more practice. And without the added width of tire tools. Ehh.... The stuff I don't know is much greater than the stuff I know (or think I do). Done that, works.

I have one of those. Would be a lot handier with an aluminum tank. They work better on car tires than bike tires. I never got the concept behind the zip ties. But I've had enough trouble getting beads to seat that I have multiple strategies.

I think it was about 7 degrees that day. No heat/insulation in garage. New tires and old were inside over the baseboard heat. Decided to cart the stuff inside to do it. NEVER could have done it with cold tires.
