The story is sure to be good though right?

So we cross posted. That makes more sense than electrical. If it's BOTH brakes then clearly it's not just a stuck caliper, start with what Oscar said.
-
Last night I was talking to Oscar while wiring something on the XX, and noted that since it had been on salted roads, there was corrosion on the battery terminals. I'm ashamed to admit that I detailed everything except those. Anyway I gained a few tenths of a volt after brushing them. Aside from that, nothing about that smell sounds electrical. Check brakes. Drive it and touch them, or use an IR meter to measure heat.

Funny you say that, I recently needed a 9mm wrench, and it was next to my 10mm. Not because they are in order, because they were missing. The chair seems to have solved itself. After some use, I guess it doesn't roll quite as easily and doesn't seem to be trying to leave. But when I get up, I point and give it a menacing glare also, may have scared it straight.

That's why I gave you a link to the thing you're looking for. I use mostly pro products around the house, they are available both locally and shipped. I think you're saying that you believe you can't buy exactly what a "pro" buys??? WTF? The thing in my window was from a contractor supply house, not big box store. Anyone can buy it. Some things like bug products are even illegal to sell to me, but they do anyway without question.
-
Why limit yourself? And how many times have we all ranted here about the shit quality at big box stores?

What is "very low?" I have an R-10 sheet in my home office window right now because I was getting cooked by afternoon sun in summer. It has reflective coatings on both sides the actual result is higher than just the r-value due to reflectivity of IR. Same with the ultra thin, but effective panels on my garage doors. The magic is in layers of reflective material and pockets of air. Anyway, R-10 is mediocre but I don't consider it very low. It's probably expensive, dunno, it was given to me. Here's an example of a very good solution: https://buildwithhalo.com/halo-interra/

Rolled fiberglass insulation doesn't just spray particles, and is perfectly fine for this. Styrofoam sheets would obvious be another option.

I put Za'atar, olive oil, and a tiny bit of pink salt on tuna steaks. Let it marinate in a vacuum bag for ten hours or so. Seared hot, and served on a greek style salad with vegan feta. Fucking great. The oil carried the spice flavor into the meat and made it totally non-stick on the grill.

Guess what's on the docket tonight before neighborhood dinner? A printed spring on the bottom seems actually effective. Nylon-carbon fiber would have "forever" wear. I see another project. I can't print TPU on this printer. Until I upgrade the extruder. And guess what... Also check out the days/dates on this tracking info. It makes RFK math look logical. Now with 98.3% more insanity! I hope they give me a discount for this, like 700%. Fuck, now I have a brain worm.
-
Those wheels are way too good. And smart. I wish I had video. I had the XR strategically positioned to block the chair from leaving the driveway. I got up, and out of the corner of my eye watch it go around the XR and zip off to the street. Fucker.

Yeah, I find myself with that dilemma, even though I have vastly fewer points. The transfer value is just so BAD. Back when I travelled a lot and had stupid points, I leveraged Amex mostly which had a 1:1 with occasion 10% boost on Home Depot. So things like a house full of blinds where all travel points with no penalty. Your Wyndham points seem to be able to flex to like 3x? Yeah, it's a happy place for both of us. Worth some upgrades. Do you prefer the backrest and side things? I strongly prefer/need the flat/round because I get up and come back a million times. Maybe because I'm not organized enough to get everything ready and nearby at once.

Marty is a very heavy compressor user, while we do bikes in his garage. His compressor makes Janel jump out of her chair every time, it's horrible. So I bet he's in!
-
This thing? A filter for the swamp cooler, really cuts down on hard water deposits. And Flexzilla hoses, 100% my go-to and recommendation for everything now. And my air hose only gets used for tires and blowgun any more. Also just acquired an ultra-quiet Callifornia Air compressor to replace my loud as fuck compressor. $0, right place, right time.
