    I hate Craigslist Lowballers...

    If over 10k, wire transfer is safe and easily verifiable. In my experience, they take a day or two to go through, so not ideal for an instant transaction. Also, there will likely be a fee on one or both sides. My second choice would be cash. Last choice would be to meet them at their bank...

    I hate Craigslist Lowballers...

    I'm a cash guy or electronic payment. Way less risk than any kind of check. I'd only take a cashier's check if I could verify it or I knew the buyer.

    Best or Favorite Medium Trails in Moab

    Yea, I wouldn't include steel bender on the medium chart anymore. It has a few dificult obstacles with no bypass.

    Coronavirus

    Yep. It's not a passport, but it does certify when and where and which vaccine you received.

    Best or Favorite Medium Trails in Moab

    Hell's Revenge or even Fins n Things is always a favorite in moderate rigs

    Coded Bias Documentary

    I do a fair amount of data science work and I can tell you that in any AI application, selecting the data set you train with is the most important step. Otherwise, it is like doing any "scientific experiment" without truly controlling the sample group you are studying. I'm always chuckling at...

    Ah! That makes sense.

    Axle Whine

    Says there are no carriers - just a straight driveline. Little bit of play in the pinion (i.e. you can rotate it a bit). Aluminum driveline has a little bit of wobble to it.

    Axle Whine

    My brother in law has a mid-90's chevy half ton that has a pretty decent rear end whine. It is bone stock and he won't likely be doing anything dramatic with it, but the whine worries him. The truck is obviously not worth a lot. What is the most economical approach besides turning the stereo...

    Random vehicle-buying question for dealership folk

    There are sites that will list some rates, but my experience has been that they do really well with mortgage rates, but don't list much for auto loans. You can start at a place like bankrate.com and see what they show. Then I would check credit unions around you. You don't need to be a member...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Thinking of buying a Monaco. I've seen this kind of behavior more on RV forums than others, like irv2. I think it has to do with the know-it-all attitude of some older guys. Now I have to join this just for the entertainment value!

    Shop / Tools Today I want this...tool edition

    I just want to see someone stack adapters to adapt the 3 1/2" drive down to 3/4 or 1/2 and just see how fast you can break stuff with it!

    Raised garden beds

    Probably not what you are looking for, but I just create furrows out of the dirt each year. Keeps water efficiently by the plants and easy to keep the weeds down between the rows. It doesn't look as nice as constructed beds, but functions the same in every way. Also not my original idea, it...

    That is the DEF tank. Definitely no diesel in that tank.

    The RME street moto gang

    Watching. I'm open to anything. Weekend or weekday after 4 should generally be available. Just pick a day when you are available and see who piles on.

    Tank/tankless water heater for small volume?

    To compound that, you have to have a minimum flow to get the tankless to even fire up, so likely a drizzle won't even keep it going.

    Landlords - tenant questions

    I have experience - I guess it is anecdotal, so take it for what it is worth. I would never knowingly rent to someone on assistance again. I hate too be classist and I hate to stereotype, but there are two kinds of people in this world - those who care and those who don't, and public...

    Proud father moments

    I don't think you can really generalize like that. Some kids when they are 12 or 13 and others not ever. I think the major factor is how many activities you really like doing together. My boys and I enjoyed mountain biking and hiking together until they day they each moved out and we still...

    Deckover and trailer tire question

    ^^ This. TPMS can monitor pressure. You can even get one that monitors temps in case the casing just starts separating under full pressure. I did this two years ago on a 5th wheel I could see the tires on - just wasn't paying attention until a passing motorist warned me.

    How's an Atlas for long road miles?

    Holy crap, what a catastrophic failure!
