So at night they aren't on unless using the brakes?

Correct. I remotely started my truck this morning, as I was leaving the hangar, hitch light flashed and remained off. Don't know why I thought it stayed on.

This morning I started cutting a 2x12x96, for storage management in the bed. Cut it to 64.5", leaving the line, fit perfectly. Started painting it, and had to put it on hold while the one side dried and I had to go "rescue" my kids, TPMS light was on in our CR-V. Will be time to go to bed soon, working the "graveyard shift."

 

Think I'll plug the holes in the rear wheel-wells, after I get home and before I go to bed.

Finally got around to removing the cheap LED fender marker lights I put in that have been flickering for a couple weeks. Went back to the old filament T10 bulbs I had in a drawer until I find decent LEDs and start replacing all my bulbs.

The Philips LED bulbs I put in the license plate sockets didn't even make it 6 months. Screw LED, going back to the regular ones.

The LED "pods" I put as auxiliary/backup lights fortunately don't do that, not enough to bother me at least. Maybe it's because they are under the bumper instead of the reverse bulbs being switched out.

I do have LED reverse bulbs in and so far both are working well after a year, just a bit of flickering when it is very cold, under 20 degrees.

Wait, so you are driving with a trailer at night without taillights? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Finally washed/cleaned her this weekend after being gross for about a month. A typical windy and dusty spring hasnt helped, nor the construction site next door at work.

Finished up polishing my wheels.42138bfca513548b637a19f1f7793202.jpg6bca4ce4e58219e4b7071e986992031f.jpg

Looks good, Eagle One wadding polish works great for that stuff, and can remove all kinds of surface problems that might arise from daily use. Use on the inside first in case it's doesn't agree with the particular metal/clearcoat. I've had it work on stuff it wasn't supposed to, and not on stuff was supposed to(although my can is pretty old now). The oils in to can even make surface rust just wipe off if you let it sit for a few minutes.

I'll have to try that next time. I've been using Mothers for years now, but I don't particularly care for it all that much. It works, but it takes a lot of polishing to get the wheels clean.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
