    Weren't you using the Adams in the past?

     

    Before:

    Also I've really figured out that the cleaning part is even more important than the coating.  I got a good tire brush, and I've been using the tire cleaner 3-5 times until the water finally looks semi-clean.  So much shit comes off.

     

    This is on the THIRD pass!

     

     

     

     

     


    I was. But like the matte finish of tue hydroshield. I also like that the hydro is thinner versus the thick Adams. 
     

    Chemical guys also run better sales. I’m debating what ceramic I’ll be using on the Y.

    That is one of them, maybe not the best, depends on the need and overall application.  I've used it on water-based radio control models like seaplanes, but for a circuit board I'd probably use one of the conformal coatings.

    I knew you'd have a diverse collection of lubes. Sicko.

    It's a real shame no one makes doodads that will adapt most batteries to most implements. Seems like there would be a market.

     

    Or you could do what I did a couple weeks back. My old Stihl gave up the ghost after 15 years, so I replaced it with the exact same model. Pretty windy little bastard. I have a 10' gutter extension for it that is about to come out of the barn attic. Need to be careful though. Red wasps love to make nests in it.

    I have the exact model except I think it's the "easy start" model.  LOVE it...been using it daily without anything but gas for 7 years now.  No tune up, no plug, nada!  And for $139 bucks...if it broke, I'd just buy a new one and toss the old one.  

     

    I also have the Mac Daddy STIHL... it blows so hard, I can barely walk when it's blowing me :)

    Looks like a total piece of shit and priced to match. Plenty to give you to complain about if you buy it and it sucks as expected - for at least 2 years. 
     

    Do it.

    And a better warning would be to say DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT OR BREST FEEDING.

     

    This is how the FDA fails us...they are beholden to the drug companies, not the people.

     

    Oh, and you look like a fucking dolt, no motorcycle for you.  That the route we go or let adults make their own decisions as to what they put in their bodies?

    Or maybe anyone who looks pregnant we just ban from selling to them?  If you look 5 years old can you just scan up a 12 pack of Budweiser?  Hey, you look pregnant...no go on the Tylenol. 

     

    And by the way....SCIENCE has already proven that acetaminophen to be a safe pain and fever reducer during pregnancy.

     

    Or, should we just let RFK push the science aside and let him make the decisions?

    You are someone who claims to not be tainted by mainstream media....but sure buy into every bullshit story that is fed to you on your foil hat sites.

    didn't label the product to reduce the risk of negative effects.

     

    YES, THIS.....

     

    Because it has done wonders for Cigarettes, Alcohol and Gambling.

    Change it.  Not because I think it's degraded but because it should get a break-in change, and it'll store better.  I know the manufacturers no longer call for a break-in oil change, but if you did an analysis on that oil I'd almost guarantee that it has elevated amounts of metal and other stuff.  And it's best to store an engine with fresh oil.  Ideally, you'd change the oil on your way to storage so that it's as fresh as possible, but not a huge deal if that's inconvenient.

     

    I changed it at 500 miles.  I changed the Lexus GX at 1000 and my wife's new RX too.

    For extra piece of mind, use Amsoil signature series next time you change it.  They put extra calcium in the additive package, which helps neutralize acids that can result from too many short trips.  Sounds like that is not really a problem for you in this case.

     

    Thank you....I'll do it !

    You won't own it by the end of next season?

     

    Nah, this one is a keeper.  Although I am toying the idea of getting a 2026 BMW Z4 M40i.... I'd still keep the Jeep.  The regret I felt and remember after selling my 2016 Willys is still in my memory bank.  Manual, no AC, half doors... damn, wish I still had it.

    ou can buy garage doors, but they are heavy.  I'm looking for something somewhat sturdy, but focused more on light than strong. 

     

    Not the case at all.  The ones that are not double sided and insulated are lite as can be.  The ones on my condo.... thin and lite aluminum.  They put some foam board type insulation on the inside panels...but the door panels themselves are as thick as a typical house gutter.
