where is that much leaking in?
-
Closed my door this morning and heard the sloshing of water. My drawing holes got clogged up.

Have any of you guys ever driven a Tesla?

Nice price, where did you get it from?

I get about 55 down and 12+ up on my internet speed..As far as WI-FI goes were the TV will be it has a strong signal..I may check out the Roku I think the new model I was looking at has a headphone connection on the remote as well.. https://www.roku.com/products/roku-3 I may go this route. I just was making for sure before I purchase..Did not want to buy something then realize I could have got something better for half the price.. Thanks for the opinions I know absolutely nothing about these streaming players,I have never owned one.. Just FYI The Roku 2 is basically the same as the Roku 3 without the headphone remote and cheaper. If the headphone remote is useful to you then go for it.

No idea why she was going that fast in that direction; the only thing that direction is Hobby Lobby.

My dad got t-boned in a parking lot last Wednesday. The lady was going so fast in the parking lot it lifted the Lexus off the ground, when it came down it rolled and spun on the roof. He only has a couple bruises from safety equipment. Other wise he's doing well.

Mike, the all of the streaming consoles rely on other services to work. I have some accounts on my Roku that are left over from college, so we have Netflix, ESPN, Youtube (free), Pandora (free), HBO Go, Plex (freeish) etc... We use ESPN, Plex and Netflix 98% of the time and that is plenty for us. My friend has his own Plex server so we can stream any movie he owns to our house. Generally Blue-Ray (or any other system) has the TV apps as an after thought so it is slow and clunky. If you already have cable you have a couple options. See what streaming services you get for free. If it works for the room you want to watch it in then a Roku would fit your needs. Potentially buy an extra cable box outright so you don't have to pay the monthly fees. SlingTV. You can set it up and play all your live cable to your phone, tablet, etc and set it up on a streaming stick on a TV in your house. It's not the cheapest, but if you desire to take your TV mobile, it's pretty nice (*Remember that the streaming quality is completely reliant on wifi speeds and thus your upload speed is likely your limiting factor)More and more content is becoming available via streaming, if you like Moto GP there is a service for that, as well as soccer, baseball, etc...

Where you going this time?I bet LAX

What are you looking for. We have a Roku and an XBox 360. They both have there pros and cons. The newest Roku 2 is hard to beat IMO.

Found one here for $600....but with 135k. Since it needs a full build anyways that may not matter. I am just confused now after my recent discussions with different 6 spd tranny experts.Part of me wants to bulid the 90, part the 80, and part the 4 speed. 4L80e?That is the bombproof solution, just don't really want to go backwards. Not so sure that it will help. 1st is useless and it has 2 overdrives. Basically means that it is a 4spd for "driveability"The reason I want to keep it though is different. It is completely TCM controlled. Figure if I don't learn how to tweak and adjust that now it will only become harder down the road. Obviously I am torn all over the board. The bummer would be to do the 6 speed and then have it fail in a year. The 4 speed will NOT have that be the problem. Is 1st gear useless because of the gap between it and second? If not then raise the gearing in the rear end.Even if it is the gap, would it help towing? Not the gap, just unecessary. To launch without slip it pulls a SHITLOAD of timing. That does not make you fast.Buying a rear and a front gear set may eventually happen out of need, but I can't just replace everything. Go big or go home or just keep driving your mommy mobile under 4K RPM...

Any aftermarket ones?

I'm only pushing the 6 because I always felt like 4 speed was ancient as soon as I started driving.

Stick with 6 speed! Seems to me that you turn the truck into a drag car with a 4 speed. It seems to me you would have more fun in drivability with a 6 speed.

Walk away. A woman that wants you to not be you is not for you.Sean is right. Honestly, girls with no hobbies, or who have self esteem issues can be difficult to have a relationship with unless you circle your happiness around them. J It's definitely a give and take. I grew up an only child with parents that worked shift work. I never thought anything of it, but at times I would have one parent get home a 5AM while the other one left at 5AM. I would get up and be by "on my own" until Noon some days. What I'm saying is I was extremely use to being by myself. My wife on the other hand had a mom that worked at the school, took her to and from school and had the same hours. She was always with her or her sister. So for her, time alone seems odd and for me time alone is necessary. We went through the same thing when we first started dating and even more when we got married and lived together. It's something that we've worked out and each had to learn to balance. I've had the same feeling though about my wife having more of her own hobbies so that one doesn't feel left alone while the other is doing something. It's something we get to keep working on and figuring out.

I burn only non-oxy in everything I can. Ethanol SUCKS if it isn't 85% or higher and run on an engine designed JUST for that.I personally own uni-taskers and prefer that. more of an investment, but each tool works better. Normally I would agree with you. In the case of the weed whip function I don't agree so much. They still have a split in the shaft normally. So the design just adds simplicity of changing out the shafts. I don't exactly trust the blower function to have enough power, but having a weed whip with some versatility might not be bad. Especially since the top of the line weed whips are the same price as this system. Where I can really see this system as a help is for comercial use. Only need a couple motors and then a bunch of tools. Really simplify the work truck. The long handled pruning attachment I could use, but outside of that as a homeowner I don't quite understand what the other attachments are useful for. Curious though as I like buying tools, lol I would use it for a weed eater, edger, and most likely a blower as well. The blower has as much power as any hand held blower until you get up to the backpack versions. The owner of the store/dealer uses the blower and loves it. You can also get the pole saw and an extension, which is also a beast as well. To buy an edger and string trimmer form Stihl is over $500. I can get all the functionality for sub $400 and have only 1 engine to take care of.

Buy the KM90. Not for the extra power (keep in mind, it is a 4 stroke) but for life. CARB expectancy is over 3X what the expectancy of the 56 is. Basically when a small engine fails CARB standards is when the rings/cylinder sleeves are worn out. So for $80 more you can expect 3X the life of major internal components. Talked to my Stihl dealer. They are offering the trimmer for $50 if you buy a KM90 (at $300) and are giving a $20 rebate for the KM90. It makes it a no brainer at $10 more. Now I have to talk the wife into dropping money on Stihl...

The KM90 is only $80 more than the KM56 and the attachments are the same.

I only buy 91 No alcohol for all my small motors. Actually, that's what I run in my truck (tuned for it) and have been running in the new SUV (turbo motors enjoy premium IMO) as well The octane isn't particularly important in the small motors but is normally only $0.10/gal more expensive than the 87 no alcohol.

Thank you so much. I have been going through cheapies every 2 years. Great input. Dude, I got so tired of wasting my money and time. I would get irritated when they would get hard to start. I generally got a year out of a $100 "Weedeater" or Craftsman weed eater, then I would throw the fucker in the burn pile. 3 weeks ago my eater died. I figure I have been a homeowner for over 20 years, so I have spent roughly 2K on crap weedeaters. Why not buy one that will likely outlast me? I just hope this survives the test of time. Plus I got the bonus of the pole saw, brush cutter, and a lot of other great attachments like a killer blower, lawn scythe, edger, cultivator... and like 14 other attachments. It's really a cool tool. Bumping this because I am back into the serious looking of this same equipment. Any update on your set up? Not sure if I really want to drop the change for the KM90

Walk away. A woman that wants you to not be you is not for you. I have to weigh everything. The part about the hobbies was an anecdote and I'm slipping slowly into it. I'm at that part where my hobbies are lagging behind. Playing chauffeur is what consumes my time. When she stays at my place I always go to work late, get off work late, pick her up and from there on I don't have time to do everything I would do in an afternoon. End result is we don't have time for us. Simple solution in my view would be for her to use one of my cars and go to work. It's 1.5 miles away. She could even walk there or bike there. If it's 1.5 miles away, how does it take up all your time? Not trying to be a nag, just trying to understand.

I forgot the model I had (er7?), but my etymotics had good bass levels. There were excellent at blocking out noise. So much so that I only wore one in my ear while running near streets. I washed mine one too many times and have been using some stock Samsung in ears... I really miss my old buds.

Not sure how mine cracked. Never used, literally pulled the off the protection end caps for the first time.
