    UCL Injury - Tommy John

    Curious if anyone here has undergone the procedure to repair a torn UCL. I’m not a professional baseball player, but I absolutely still love chucking baseballs with my kids, in softball, pitching at practices etc… I’m 39, and sometime last summer I started feeling tightness and pain in my...

    Floor Jack

    Used search and posted in an old thread about floor jacks, now it’s gone. In that thread several people had posted they had a Daytona 3 ton rapid pump/low profile/long reach floor jack from Harbor Freight. I can get one for 180 if it is before New Years. Looking for those who have used/have...

    5.0 F150 A/C Compressor Clutch

    I think I have this one under control, just want to touch base before wasting cash. Our 2015 F150 has ~110K miles. The A/C works fine, no issues there. However, if the vehicle is started with the A/C turned on, there’s a horrible squeal for 2-5 seconds or so. I imagine it’s the clutch...

    Front Tires

    Well beyond overdue to replace the fronts on the ‘13. Factory GoodYears made it to 19,000 miles. I’ve seen lots of discussion in the search function for 275/285 series tires in the front to replace the 265s from the factory rubbers. Car isn’t road-coursed, just need something that looks good...

    SVTP Recommendations : Socks

    I go cheap with Hanes for my work socks and ankle socks. I keep seeing advertisements for other brands that say dumb shit like, “You’ll never wear any other socks after trying ours.” Any of you guys wear anything worth sharing? Ankle/no show in white is what I’m looking around at.

    Rechargeable AA Batteries

    Awhile back Sid or Tob posted a thread about decent rechargeable AA Batteries. With my kids and their professional ability to run through a set of batteries for no reason, I figured I’d ask if anyone has used them consistently. Our place consists mostly of gaming controllers, RC car...

    2015 F150 - Recommend Lug Nuts

    Probably ~20 of my stock “chrome” lug nuts are swollen out of spec which made them a PITA last brake job. There are plenty of places that carry aftermarket pieces, but I’m looking for first hand experience with lug nuts. Chrome is preferred as they’re going on the ugly stock 18” wheels on our...

    Electrolux Is Actually AIDS

    Had a “New Washer Recommendation” thread back in August. Went with a Speed Queen. Cost a little more than I wanted, but it’s simple, quick, and is supposed to last a while. So that’s nice. Today, my less than 5 year old Electrolux dryer took a shit. Good thing I just bought a new TV Friday.

    Property Beers

    Came up with the idea for this thread while drinking a few months ago. Planned to post pictures of my property from up on my roof while drinking and working on the chimney, decided against it for obvious reasons. This is not-so-secretly just a way to see some pictures of the properties you guys...

    ‘22 Grabber Blue en route to Gjovik Ford

    Figured I’d throw this up here for anyone around Plano, IL that’s waiting on their ‘22 to show up. Pictures aren’t great, but thats because I had drooled all over this car, and the Grabber Mach 1 that was behind it. First new GT500 I’ve really seen up close, and yea, it looks pretty sweet.

    New Washing Machine Recommendations

    Wife and I bought a new Electrolux front load washer and dryer approximately five years ago. Dryer hasn’t had any issues, but the washer bearings are toast. Appliance guy came out and said parts (bearings, inner drum, outer drum) is going to run in the 800 dollar range after install. Our...

    Decent Auction Inventory

    Ran across this auction inventory for later in February. Figured I’d post it for anyone else who wanted to waste 5-10 minutes browsing a decent collection. No idea if this is posted anywhere else, so sorry if it’s a repost. Current Consignments Inventory | GAA Classic Cars

    Drone Shopping

    My wife is looking into getting some variety of drone as a “family Christmas present” this year. I’m no expert, but am not afraid of flying stuff. She’s an amateur for sure, and our 9 year old has little experience as well. She wants something with a camera, ~15 minute flight times, and...

    New Swim Trunks

    You guys know everything, so it stands to reason you’ll have the ability to recommend some new swim trunks. I’m 6’, 205 I can not tolerate regular swim trunks with a partial liner that is detached from the lowest part of the leg. The edge rids up my thigh, or twists up etc. Last pair was...

    Header Repair Options

    Background: My brother has a ‘98 Cobra with a brutal exhaust leak where his current long tubes (don’t know brand) meet the heads. Gaskets are shot according to him and my dad who saw the car on a lift at the exhaust shop he’s going to use. His car is lowered and I guess the current long tubes...

    Refinancing - Points vs No Points

    I’ll keep it short-ish and to the point. Wife and I have been in our home 4+ years. Have a 3.75ish rate @ 30 years. Owe 211,000 Valued at 300,000 when purchased. We are looking at shrinking to a 15 or 20 year. 15 year mortgage at 2.75% is going to be roughly 1431 a month. Is it worth it to...

    Recommend A Home Vacuum

    Edit: There’s no ‘E’ in Vacuum. How did that get there? Sad day when I’m asking you guys for recommendations for a home vacuum. We are mostly carpeted, with hard floors in the kitchen, back porch, and bathrooms. Wife and I have 3 boys, a small dog, and two cats, so it’s going to get used to...

    Michelin Primacy XC - F150 Tire Replacement

    After some quick searches and basic review reading, it looks like these tires became Oe equipment at some point after ‘15 (Our ‘15 had GoodYear and they lost a customer with their PC/wokeness). As something that came on similar trucks from the factory, I can’t imagine there are any glaring...

    Fearing for a Child

    I want to start this thread by acknowledging that what happened was nobody else’s fault, and that the responsibility for it lies with my wife and myself as hard as it can be to digest it. Wife and I were putting a few thousand pounds of rock in our driveway on Saturday. 8 and 4 year old were at...
