What's up my way that is so thrilling?

It's called Mines and Meadows, north of Pittsburgh. There's 75 miles of trails and also a guided half mile trail through an abandoned mine. Sounded pretty cool but not with it being so cold. Maybe in a few months

Look at you guys finding awesome places that I don't know about in my own state. Lol!

I just found out about that place last year too. Now I've got to check that out, along with Hatfield-McCoy - been wanting to hit that place for years. Some day.

 

Did a full brake job in the neighbor's '06 Impala yesterday - rotors and pads. 92k miles, AUTOMATIC transmission - NEVER been done!! That's a record - never seen anyone even come close to that kind of brake life. 35k is my personal best. The aluminum wheels, and the rotors were both seized on there pretty good. Took me 7 hours! Did that one in the barn with the waste oil burner running. Was pretty cramped in there, so tripping over things and squeezing past other things added to the time too.

I'm sure there's a lot of places in VA to ride that aren't listed on any website, more word of mouth most likely.

 

Hatfield is awesome, wanna do a trip in March or April again. Spearhead trails is like Hatfield but a tad smaller, nestled down in the SW corner of VA. Wanna check those trails out too. Maybe if I ride enough this year and realize the trails are large enough for a SxS then I'll sell the quad and get me a Rzr like my parents have

I think MA has 2 places ... and there's a list of rules and regs a mile long. Each place has about 7 miles TOTAL. Not even worth the trouble. They demand we register ALL off road vehicles, even if you NEVER leave you OWN PROPERTY, then give us no place to ride them. But, if you're a hippy hiker, locations abound. You can go anywhere you want.

 

All the trails my dad and I cut 35 years ago have been commandeered by the state via Wildlife Management land - no motorized vehicles allowed. Par for the course up here ... :rolleyes:

Great photos of the old thing. My 99 Silverado was a very smooth riding lady, I miss it.

Thank you. I still have a lot of room for improvement with her, but all in due time.

 

And the low beams (Osrams) are actually whiter than they appear in the photos.

Left turn signal went out a few days ago and it was causing the arrow to blink really fast compared to the right one. I didn't realize it until I got out and checked, and yup it was out. Nice feature.

 

I just replaced the bad bulb during today's lunch hour.

Just tallied up my month, repaired or refurbished 18 clusters this month, and this morning I repaired our Mercedes dealer's only OBDII working controller that failed. They had a bunch of new ones coming in for the new models and only had one working unit until the new ones arrived. I received it at 7:53 this morning and handed it over to the technician to test it out at 9:11. Every technician is fighting for the only working unit. I asked for $20 and the manager threw $50 at me. Gave me 2 other units that I returned to him 1 hour later in good working condition so he threw an other 2017-01-31%2019.14.19_zpszenn25yr.jpg at me. Now they at least have 3 working units until the new ones come in.

 

The new ones are bluetooth and Wi-Fi so no more wires dangling.

If your cluster odometer ever lets go PM me and I'll walk you through the repair. Did one this morning and it's fresh in my mind. lol

      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.
