looks awesome. I need to remember to snap some pictures out here. To be fair, I’m not much of a condiment/sauce guy on any food really. Some mustard on a burger is perfect. I think I tried to add that, but couldn’t figure it out with the online ordering so just went dry.
This is of no actual help but we have an undercounter icemaker that had a plastic piece shit the bed maybe two days before we got back from a month long trip and started putting water on the floor. Pretty lucky timing really. I turned on my icemaker just like yours there in our fridge, a corner unit, which was off for a couple of years. Figured I would have all kinds of problems but nope, that nasty bitch fired right up.wap wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:44 pm Ok doods, anyone have any experience with a leaking ice maker in their freezer? I think someone went into our freezer during our Halloween party over the weekend and didn't close the door all the way. I noticed it Sunday because there was water dripping in the freezer and the quart of ice cream was a bit soft. I noticed that water was dripping out of the front of the ice maker where the cubes are discharged into the container on the inside of the freezer door. Also, the freezer temp was up to 16f instead of its normal 0. I turned off the ice maker and shut off the water supply and after a couple hours the temp went back down to zero so the freezer itself is still working. It held the proper temp all night and all day today so I turned the water back on and it immediately started to leak again.
Current working theory is that with the screwy temp fluctuation the moving parts got frozen and messed up works somehow. So I want to physically remove the ice maker unit, let it thaw out, maybe clean it, then put it back and turn on the water to see what happens. Found this vid on the Tubes. Looks pretty straightforward.
Thoughts? Am I on the right track?
So I don't really recall the exact symptoms, but a couple of years ago I had a bunch of problems with ice making being intermittent and water leaks and such around that area. It ended up being a frozen water line somewhere near the entry to the freezer sort of like you're describing. It was a bit of a pain but basically taking it all apart, thawing, cleaning, and drying then reassembling fixed the issue IIRC. I do know I had to access the lines from the rear to access the source of the issue.wap wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 7:44 pm Ok doods, anyone have any experience with a leaking ice maker in their freezer?

overall.
and I went on a date night Friday, walked into this beach bar like place on one of the lakes here at 6:15 PM, were asked if we wanted inside or outside seating, chose inside as it was chilly, got a prime table right next to a huge window overlooking the water/sunset, enjoyed the view/table for two hours, had an appetizer, 2-3 drinks each, and entrees, bill was $67, $82 with tip. 
snacks now, I just keep some freezer 'zas on hand, is usually stoked on pizza and it's $5 and 15 minutes of waiting in the comfort of home versus some drive through Lyft shitshow.

This week is peak leaves here in CLT, NC mountains were about two weeks ago. It's pretty wild that we're hitting peak same time as Northern Meatchicken. It's always been end of October/early November here as long as I can recall.

Taco Bell here is good and you can get a meal for cheap still ($4-9 per person), but fast food after 10 PM has always been and always will be shit and a terrible experience, like Max said, you're talking about people who can't/won't get a job outside of 8 PM-4 AM shift making fake burgers/burritos for $15/hour.

). Just like in more metropolitan areas in Turkey; As 
stated, car ownership is a luxury, forget the price of the car, it is insurance, awful lot of wear and tear for such a low mileage, worse gas mileage so fill up interval will happen more often (happened to me when I was in nyc for work for a week) along with higher gas prices, absurd parking prices. If you see people with nice cars, it's clear they have a hell of a lot more money than you'd typically think. Also equinox gym is twice as much there a month ($300) than in my area ($150), but they got the warm pool which is nice during the winter and I would use the fuck out of that rather than owning a nice car, albeit a car. Perhaps invest in an electric scooter/bike that's easy to carry.
underpass) will take an hour on a good day and it's only 12 miles. With the route when it's actually $4, it's 40 minutes. By metro, by scooter to get to the station, 8 mins, walking 16 mins, metro is only 25 mins. Realistically it's cheaper and faster to get there. Plus walking is good for exercise. 
I know and there's parking across the street where they have the lifts, plus I can see my car from my window, for 3 nights, I've spent almost $200 on that alone, that's a lot of money. It was too cold for me to walk around at the time and I could've taken the subway, but I have to go to few places where I will site inspect for the business travel groups that were coming at the time, one of them I actually need a car to get there (which is in Williamsburg of Brooklyn), so I decided to fuck it and go by car. I parked in one garage in the meatpacking district, only 2 hours and it's already $50 
then I went to Brooklyn, by the Brooklyn bridge called Dumbo, their garage isn't as expensive as Manhattan but still quite a lot even compared to DC. As far as car is concerned, parking total of around $320 (most paid by company) + EZ pass for entering Manhattan in and out from NJ appx. $30. Going into Brooklyn from Manhattan and back is free though on the Brooklyn bridge and I believe Queens Bridge. If I were to commute from NJ into Manhattan, even if my job offers free parking, I still think paying $30 bucks is too much for a day and much rather take the metro, bus or boat. However, if you're carpooling with 5 people it is cheaper as a whole per person. Which will lead to my 2nd example.
due to my Marriott employee discount with only $80 per night, plus taxes. One thing I noticed tax wise, compared to my hotel, my hotel/or location for that matter, has 2 types of taxes, sales and county. In NJ (NYC area) is 3 sets Which is cheap for NY standards and cheaper than my shithole of a hotel with the lowest rate even on a slow day. Perks of staying in NJ, for one, no expensive parking that well at least exceeds $30 a day ($20 per day, for 2 nights it is $60). It's just me and I picked out that particular location cause not only it's in a very nice neighborhood (apartments there cost $7,000 a month minimum), also there's a ferry just across the street from my hotel that takes you to Manhattan $9 one way per person. With 2 of us, we picked a ticket from there and back $36. So slightly more expensive by car, but think of the money you're saving for parking alone and walking there is more convenient and you felt more free. is 5'3 and she doesn't like to ride bikes. So subway it is. She wanted to dress nice, so she put some boots with heels and I suggested her to bring more comfortable shoes, which she didn't listen and we ended up getting some michael kors slip ons at a local nordstorm rack, because she only likes that one. So in total, $36 for ferry, $60 for parking, $12 for 2 of us at subway. $108 for transport alone. 
way too, I typically use the NJ turnpike. I don't mind paying tolls. But I decided to just use i95 instead. Even though passing through Baltimore required tolls. But I kinda regretted taking i95 because it was just very bumpy and it has woken up cause she likes to sleep in the car, she's a heavy sleeper. After passing Philly, it wasn't getting any better. Maybe roughly 10-15 miles after Philly, I decided to get back on the turnpike and it was night and day. restaurant twice with that money for 2, maybe 3 if you're lucky and/or avoid getting alcohol. That ferry has a membership rate of $212, lets say I have a 9-5 in Manhattan and live in NJ (may or may not have a car), just for commuting to work alone and back. $212 / 20 (weekdays) it'll cost ~ $10.60 per day, excluding going there for weekends. As opposed to $18. Another option, staying at Brooklyn, there are ways to get there to avoid the absurd tolls into Manhattan. a few first gen immigrant on DFD, resident turk, and ex nazi egg lover now driving a middle class mom mobile.

As some of you know, I am practically a "New Yorker" in my native country, aka Istanbul (sorry Constantinople
Realistically if you're commuting within the proximity of the city of New York for the most part, you don't actually need a car. In some extend it maybe a little more comfortable as opposed to subway, taking bikes, etc. On top of that I practically lived without a car in Istanbul for good 9-10 months, even though I rented a few times and borrowed my friends car a couple of times, I was just fine. I had my bike, I rode scooters, took the metro, etc. etc. It hasn't felt challenging to my eyes.
We have 2 companies that's equivalent to car2go, which is basically bird scooters for cars. Comes with manual and auto, but I needed turkish driving license for it. Traffic is already awful in Istanbul to begin with so I tend to reach my destination faster with metro, especially when I go across the Bosphorus where going that route by car is the absolute worst unless you ride a vespa or a bike where lane splitting is legal. For instance, going to my uncles/grandparents house by car (if you're avoiding the
I grew up going there by car with family pretty much every year or 2.
I'll provide 2 examples of my trips:
1) I actually drove into manhattan, parked in a garage because there's basically no other options unless you take your precious time of waste to find one, where at that point I'd rather pay more for a peace of mind rather than risk getting ticketed or towed. Especially post "covid" where more parking spots are covered for outdoor dining. I will say street parking is good for a few hours if you can avoid the times square proximity, which is indeed a tourist trap for those who doesn't know nyc better, but that's about it. So I stayed in a nice 4 star hotel
2) My most recent trip ~1 week ago. I stayed at a Residence Inn in Weehawken, NJ. Which is just north of Hoboken and still see the view of Manhattan. I got a good
Getting there, I also did it a

One last thing to add, I remember when family and I used to go to Manhattan. When we went with dads Expedition, cars with those sizes cost 80% more than say a Ford Explorer or any car thats smaller in those garages, that's one of the reasons why he down graded to an Explorer.
That's my NYC 101 for ya.

in a nutshell, lets go to taco bell, and she bitches about the service. I told her thats what happens when people don't get paid enough. Luckily some places in my area are still good in that aspect. But eating late at night regardless of what it is has never been the most digestive thing on the planet. I was pissed too, cause I was hangry.

It could just be locations, but before 2020, there were plenty of go to Taco Bells in the Detroit area that we knew we could roll through the drive thru at 1am and get exactly what we we wanted and then some (one time they made extra chicken fry things and gave us an order, another time tits asked for more onion in a burrito and it was loaded, etc).MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 10:02 amThat's myDetroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 8:18 am Man, late night fast food runs are always a

It's usually one of two things, valve as mentioned, or a crack/blockage in the mechanism that freezes the cubes and churns them out.
