    Battery Tests Fine, Low Dark Current, Yet Battery Low After Sitting Several Days

    I was looking a couple year ago for some AC powered clocks to keep track of accumulated time on a heater circuit I as using. Wesclox still makes them.

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Been really dry here most of the summer. The stream feeding the pond dried up a month or so ago. Lowest the pond has been all summer. Some say the weather is to turn wet and cool though.

    Fitting brake pads.

    It's a habit I developed with Ford rear disc brakes. If you didn't then you'd be replacing pads sooner. OE Hyundai calipers the cast iron swells where the H clip rides. Have to use a file on it every time. When the Gen Coupe first came out there were few Brembo direct replacement pads...

    What are you working on today?

    If they are good stock and good location they can last for decades. I still have some come up from 40 years ago.

    What are you working on today?

    I got a pull behind the mower lawn sweeper and put it together. Fairly easily and all the parts were there. Back in the day we had them at home but all push ones. I remember setting the sweeper whiskers on fire when dumping the leaves once. Dad was not happy. But I intend to dump all these...

    Coffee - Your Current Brew

    Need to order more decaff. I was going though about 10 lbs a year of Italian dark roast whole bean but lowered my caffeine limits and cut back on the straight stuff. eBay King of Coffee is the seller. It's one up a bit and about 50% more than the regular. Use to be about the same price.

    Low tension rings

    My '08 Accent used about a quart of oil in the first 3500 miles. Did 5k oil changes for a few years but the last 90k miles it's been 7.5k oil changes. It uses less than a quart during an OCI now. I usually top off a half quart. The Gen Coupe 2L turbo has always been on 5k oil changes and it...

    Looks like my Hummingbirds have vamoosed.

    Saw a green one flirting amongst the willow branches today. Maybe a traveler heading south?

    Why does a $62,000 2025 Ram 1500 NOT have passive keyless entry?

    Hyundai made 'Track' model after 2011 that excluded the cruise control. As if every track model would be spending it's life on the track.....

    Radar Detector Legend Michael Valentine Has Died

    I had one if those brown boxes on the dash of my TR7. At the time radar could not lock on without a steady speed. The look on the cops face as I was driving by hot on the brakes with the FuzzBuster bleating away! Just did a software update on the V1 Monday.

    Ford edge running warmer than it should

    You cannot go by looks. Ford Taurus/Sable of the late 90s were bad for this. Twin fans close to the radiator with a shallow fan shroud and when you took everything out only the area directly behind the fans was really clear.

    Better to grind them down then have them too tight to float.

    To test pH of soil at home, mix a 50/50, by weight, soil and distilled water sample, I use 50 grams to make it easy to remember. Then your strips or pen or colors.

    Brake slider pin's : installed pushed in or out ?

    I have Brembos on the Gen Coupe. No pins to grease. :cool: The Accent is with the typical badly designed Hyundai caliper. But I use a copper corrosion inhibitor on it. I take them apart yearly. This year is new pads, pins, boots and hardware.
