    Heartbeat

    I haven't had an AFib episode in two years. Had it since I was 19 and I'm 46 now. Forgot which med (started with an F?) my cardiologist gave me but it was only for when I went into AFib and it was needed so infrequently its long expired. I can feel when I'm on the edge of it so I just take it...

    Heartbeat

    oh hey another person with good cardiovascular I have AFib so I am used to tracking it mine this week has been 54bpm but I'm a good 30lbs overweight at the moment lol. Normally its in the low 40s but dips into the 30s when I'm in bed or laying on the couch I walk my dogs while wearing a...

    AGM won't fully charge from alternator?

    I have seen inconsistent results from people bypassing the sensor on stock setups. Usually puts voltage at 13.8 at the battery which is not enough to keep any battery truly charged. my 05' Xterra uses the same smart charging system. using 100% stock wiring (nothing grounded directly to the...

    AGM charger amps

    your charger is fine for topping off and maintaining AGM batteries but will work very slowly if it gets deeply discharged is all prolly stop overthinking things lol

    OEM Headlights upgrade to LED White Bright Headlights

    haven't worked on a modern Ford aside from a 2003 Focus ("modern" kek) so I cannot speak on the F-150 but can tell you I've seen a fair bit of stock headlights barely getting 13 volts at the connector which drastically cuts the output on halogen bulbs. They probably use 16 awg wire with not...

    OEM Headlights upgrade to LED White Bright Headlights

    I think a lot of people (especially the old timers on this board) have uncorrected astigmatism lol between that and the fact pretty much nobody bothers to adjust their headlights they just assume everything is LED bulbs fault I also think most people complaining about their stock halogen set...

    Coast bar soap

    Bronners is another great innawoods soap but is special tier powerful stuff, especially the peppermint ones while the almond seems a bit tamer as far as soap scum I have found that the older bar soap is the more likely its going to leave something behind. Zote is only good for about 6 months...

    Coast bar soap

    I use Dial and sometimes Irish spring bar soap with a rough sponge (sourced foam from a couch cushion) for showers and scrubbing my face. the days I wear scents I go with gold bar Dial BUT I have gotten surprisingly good results from Axe Dark Temptation body wash which is kind of a peppery dark...

    What unusual or funny thing does your dog do

    my boy watches TV very intently which is both good and bad When he was a puppy he got scared of Godzilla and hid behind the couch and would sneak a peek at the TV the same way a kid does when they watch a scary movie. As he got older he stopped hiding and would (and still to this day) react at...

    OEM Headlights upgrade to LED White Bright Headlights

    I'm not familiar with Fords as I am mid 60's GM and Nissans but I do know there are a lot of vehicles on the road with voltage drop issues at the headlights. Installing a relay (if not equipped) with a 12 awg lead at the battery and adding another ground wire can do wonders on a stock halogen...

    OEM Headlights upgrade to LED White Bright Headlights

    I have never had LED headlights nor do I plan to make the switch but.... that post is near a decade old and LED bulbs are not built the same way as they used to be. There are sites and YouTube channels dedicated to in depth reviewing that break it down in an easily digestible way. I've seen...

    Coast bar soap

    you are now aware of the only soap suitable for removing stains from clothes, degreasing hands after a day of wrenching is better than any dishwashing liquid you ever used (squeak clean dishes and even removes fatty tomato stains from plastic) AND is all natural biodegradable so its safe around...

    Pet lovers, how does your pet get their water?

    about a dozen dogs have used a 25 year old 3qt stainless steel mixing bowl. Currently have to change out the water twice a day because both of my guys like to stick a good chunk of their muzzles in the water making it get gross oh and the old bowl still looks fairly new and if I stuck it back...
