    Car / Auto Paint Work

    Thanks!!! Yup, I totally agree about the bonding + life-lesson opportunity! (and it was just an overall fun project that I was wanting to do) ;)

    Car / Auto Paint Work

    My kid has an older car that had some pretty significant paint issues. Some areas were rusting and the paint was bubbling-up pealing away. I asked her what she wanted to do. We watched a bunch of youtube videos and decided we'd at least fix the rust problems so they didn't get worse, and also...

    Is there an Android app for SS

    The BYC "App" is actually just a browser version of BYC that you open with an icon. Functionality, etc. is almost exactly the same as the mobile version of the site. ... that said, there is an option for a Progressive Web App version of the site that I should be able to setup / enable. I'll put...

    Member Points Question

    For the most part I feel like our SS community has been very well maintained & moderated, and hasn't really needed a ton of moderation. (thanks to a fantastic community that is being mindful and respectful about how they interpret and/or respond to things). If it seems like this isn't the case...

    Multimeter Inception

    It was so frustrating! I would be testing circuits, etc. and it was zeroed out... but turns out there was a flaky contact on the positive terminal that when moved just a TINY bit in the wrong direction it would connect, disconnect, connect, disconnect. REALLY great when you're trying to see if a...

    Multimeter Inception

    Ya, I have a bunch of the cheap ones too... but I like this one because it has a nice easy on/off switch, buzzer for continuity, rotating screen, 20A limit, etc., so it was worth it to try and give it a fix.

    SUPER Old Lawn Mower Repaired!

    Totally agree!!! It felt good to keep it working and away from potentially ending up in a landfill. All that said, I'm sure my feelings of pride & success would have been replaced with frustration had I not gotten it to work ;)

    SUPER Old Lawn Mower Repaired!

    What's funny: I didn't expect it to really work so well. In fact, I purchased this new carb kit / replacement fully expecting to have to install it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0816MT7YB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It comes with two primer bulbs, and the one I have...

    SUPER Old Lawn Mower Repaired!

    I have a Montgomery Ward lawnmower my Dad bought... at least 30 years ago, probably more. I've been using it as my "weed lawnlower" for the past 10 years. It has run surprisingly well during those years I've owned it, even though I've not taken care of it properly. Each Spring when I pull it...

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    Thanks y'all for the thoughts. I worry if we keep talking about why this isn't political, it will just become political. So, let's move-on and talk about Covid in a non-political way. I'll start :) Where do y'all fall within the brackets of getting the vaccine? I'm not in any really big risk...
