I got a fluid extractor Friday. Man this thing is awesome. To change oil I have to get the vette out of the garage and put it somewhere, which means taking the cover off, getting it out past my trailer which is kinda in the way, Move the other vehicles around to make space to get it out, then pull the car that needs to be lifted into the garage. It's a bit of tetris kinda... And with this I can just walk up to the car, pump the bitch up and let the vacuum yank them erls out. So nice.
Also, it's got an attachment to hook up to bleeder nipples so I can pull from the canister and bleed brakes or even clutches... ZOMG ALL TEH SUCKSHUNS
So I bought some useless junk recently...
Had a good one from west marine. Dad left it outside and UV killed it. Bought the HF big one and it fucking blows. Leaks and the plastic is cross threaded.Acid666 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:09 pm I got a fluid extractor Friday. Man this thing is awesome.

I've always wanted one of these but I have OCD problems with them not removing all the oil. To the extent that I will leave a car on the lift for 1.5 hours until ALL the dripping stops. You think this sucks it dry?Acid666 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 2:09 pm I got a fluid extractor Friday. Man this thing is awesome.

There's videos of people doing both, sucking the oil, and then draining it at the plug to see what it doesn't get.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 1:02 pmbreh be less ocd. you never get allllll the oilDesertbreh wrote: ↑Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:58 am

The plug isn't always at the bottom of the pan, so you're rarely getting all of it when you drain it normally. This tube bottoms out on the pan itself, so in theory you're likely getting more out, but it really depends on the angle of your car when you're doing it. You might miss an ounce or two, but that shit just blends in anyways.
I used to be anal about that kinda shit, but it's routine maintenance and it'll be fine. It's not an F1 engine that needs to be bled like a deer hanging up from a hunt.

Any idea on battery life? Trying to assess if this would be a good trail maintenance tool or not. Easy/cheap way is folding saw but this looks like more fun.

Bought this today, should be here on Sunday.

I need a 10GBase-T switch at home to connect a couple machines and a NAS. This was about the most reasonable one I could find, unless one of you guys knows of a better one for 6 connections in a single room. I'm open to opinions and can obviously return this one with Amazon's policy.

Based on talking to my customers who use a bunch of networking hardware, the Trendnet stuff is pretty good bang for your buck.

I found another used piece of gym equipment and will pick up this weekend. I'm pretty excited for this one, looks strong like bull 350 maple syrup crebits:
AmStaff TB011 Flat/Incline/Decline Utility Bench with AmStaff TB011J Preacher Curl Attachment and Olympic Bench Press Rack (bar and weights not included) Mechanism that allows for the bench section to adjust from the front to the rear locked position with ease for the purpose of the shoulder press exercise and to provide front stability support for all Workbench Machine Accessories. In addition the rear position is used to save space when not in use. Easy mobility and comfort: The Utility Bench offers rear wheels for easy in and out access of the Workbench Racks. Side seat handlebars are also included on all Workbenches for gripping during leg exercises. Dimensions: 19"H x 23"W x 51"L Use the Preacher Curl attachment so that you can focus on your biceps by doing preacher curl exercises. It has a bar rest where you can balance your curl bar when done. Slide it out and put in a different attachment. The possibilities for your weight bench go on and on as you add more attachments.

Wife is using her treadmill daily and starting to see some promising improvements to her physique and self-image. I'm not really a big fan since I bike, run with the kids, swim and walk the dog numerous times a day. But this with a few free weights will hopefully do good things for me personally... to pick it up and setup downstairs.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 8:04 pmTarspin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 6:54 pm I found another used piece of gym equipment and will pick up this weekend.

Wife has a Peloton I bought her a few years ago. She loves the hell out of it. I think it's okay, but spin biking isn't really my thing. She's done close to 500 rides on it. Prior to that we had a normal stationary bike that she never wanted to ride.

That is a brilliant product and marketing group, I'd consider it in the future under the right series of circumstances now that you mention how motivating it.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 11:27 amAwesome man!Tarspin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 08, 2020 10:08 am

In my lifetime, I've probably logged more time playing with Legos than any other toy by a long shot. Yet as an adult, I've never built one of those kits because I'm too to buy one. Was hoping to live vicariously through you, but I see how it is.
