  1. LOL. I like how you lived up to the Jewish joke by changing $2250 to $2200. A Jewish boy asks his father for $50. The father replies, "$40?!? What do you need $30 for? $20 is a lot of money!"
  2. I'm going to sell it, because I'm not even sure why I bought it, metals are not my thing. It's absolutely beautiful, but I dislike have that much "cash" sitting around that is easily lost or whatever. Dunno. Mental issue. Going rate on eBay is a solid, repeatable $2500. Yesterday a shop offered me $1900 but told me not to take his offer, to go to eBay or elsewhere. He said they have to buy low, obviously. He was giving me a high value on spot (junk) gold but doesn't have the ability to give much on coins. Apmex shows $2570 selling price (didn't get a bid from them). So if anyone's interested, how about $2250 insured and shipped?
  3. All I can say is "FUCK" and good luck. Damn.
  4. The rotary should have far less starting resistance than a piston. As to your water question it's probably creating less heat and that affects the condensate. These are barely educated guesses. Does the motor have a capacitor? If it's bad/undersized, that could be a factor. It's the top failure in our AC systems here. I just keep one around, that common.
  5. This helps protect the coils and compressor from having too much ventilation. You make me kind of want to get this for our older system (we have one per floor). It's VERY hard starting now.
  6. When I strap this on, I feel like the opening scene of Apocalypse Now. Particularly today, one fucking mosquito got me WHILE spraying. Motherfucker. I deserve a purple heart. And I went back to work, so also a medal of valor. Because we had an extra wet winter immediately followed by a ridiculous swing from cold to 100+, the area's mosquito and fly eggs all hatched at once. Clouds of them. Particularly the Chinese Tiger mosquito which has the extra "fun" of being small enough to get through screens. Last night I got two bites...in my fucking office. Nope. Anyway, on to my second-favorite cocktail and I let AI explain why that is, and why you might want to use it (the other is straight whisk(e)y)... When to use which Use Talstar P when you want: A long‑lasting perimeter or yard treatment (mosquitoes, ants, general yard pests). Structural protection and residual control (e.g., recurring spiders, scorpions, roaches). Use ExciteR when you want: Very fast knockdown or “flush out” of flying/crawling pests (flies, mosquitoes, roaches, bed bugs, etc.). A synergist to mix with other insecticides (including Talstar) to speed kill while the partner product provides residual. Using them together Many pros mix a pyrethrin like ExciteR with a residual such as Talstar P in the same tank so: ExciteR gives immediate contact kill and flushing. Talstar P leaves the long‑term barrier after the quick‑kill component dissipates. This combo is common for mosquito and general exterior treatments where you want both instant relief and continued protection. What are you mainly targeting (mosquitoes in the yard, general perimeter bugs, or something more specific like scorpions or roaches)?
  7. I don't have a direct answer to the actual question, @superhawk996 probably will. I've seen a huge number of electrical mysteries be caused by bad grounds and/or bad 12v batteries even if they crank ok. More on the ABS module and others, but this is close enough to warrant being sure.
  8. That will NOT go on my motorcycle, thank you.
  9. I'll make sure I can tune it for a perfect backrest position. Non-contact in sporty riding, and useful sitting up. Pass one with my friends holding it in place was very promising. I did the same on the Zero for the perfect fit for Moriah, nailed it.
  10. Due to the placement of the screw holes, I'm pretty sure I'll need a plate that has closer holes to go into the seat, then this onto the plate. I'll work on it tomorrow afternoon.
  11. Yeah, and looking at the different mount that I got (not the same as the XR or Zero), it seems like it will likely be fairly easy and look good. There are NO pictures of the bottom side online however, WTF. I won't know if I need an intermediary aluminum plate until I get it, but I'm thinking likely yes.
  12. My looks OCD on this bike is leading to good engineering fun.
  13. Great and useful point. I can't recall exactly what their custom pan looked like, but do recall that the material was thinner than stock. Still plastic.
  14. The only reason it's not is the ridiculous amount of oil and salt added to the corn tortillas, and often to Americanized guac. I air fry plain corn tortillas (ingredients are corn and water, and sometimes maybe lime too). This works best in an R2D2 air fryer, but can be done in a box style. A side effect of not grease-frying the chips and adding a pile of salt is that you taste the corn. I've had people destroy one of my bags of chips because they've never actually tasted how good crunchy corn is, compared to crunchy grease and salt. And beware the so-called baked chips, they add oil so they end up frying. See, it takes a shitload of time and energy to actually cook things without oil. This was my lunch... Avocado is obviously loaded with nutrition and useful fats. There are a couple of brands of guacamole that are particularly natural and low sodium, my favorite is from Sam's and it's pretty cheap. Just look for added garbage like processed oils and salt, even mayo/cream in some to make it ... creamy? Like avocado isn't? Dunno, it's retarded. And many Mexican-style sauces in stores are really sodium-heavy.
