Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Stag point gotten a little rougher. There is 1 spot that has a small step. An 1 corner that is tighter than the rest. Someone wasn’t paying attention an almost went over so they said. With 31’s should be able to make it.

 

nah, I don't think so.

It's got to hold up to the weight of some snow; possibly lots of snow. I was hoping for a hardshell of some sort.

 

did you end up going all the way up to the cabin?

 

No, I didn’t know there was a cabin up there. Went up to the lake, and hiked to the second lake and explored other trails. Guess that gives me an excuse to go back now and find the cabin.

 

I have two Honda EU2000i. One is the companion. They are awesome. With both connected, and using the 30 amp, it'll run the entire house. Just have to turn a lot of stuff off if you want to run the microwave, and don't turn everything on at once. Beats the shit out of running extension cords all over the place. They certainly weren't that cheap, however. I bought the first one about 18 years ago. I think it was around $850 then. The second one I bought about 5 years ago. It was almost a thousand bucks. But they are amazing.

 

Spotted this next to me this morning.





Then this makes you wonder what happened inside.

 

Whoa damn. Some one offed themselves in that sucker

 

Or it could just be Agent Smith’s handiwork?

 

True that!

 

Not sure if that load is heading back to Sac or it came from there,
5star trucking from sac was the carrier.

Just spotted a red one on a single car dolly headed toward Utah.

 

Baby boy FTMFW.

Congratulations!!!

 

Damn. He's bigger than i am! Lol

Congrats james!!! How awesome! Hope momma is doing well.

 

I didn't get the one that you mentioned, but something similar in functionality. I got this one

FOXWELL NT630 ABS SRS Scan Tool OBD2 Scanner Bi-Directional Automotive Diagnostic Code Reader ABS Auto Bleed Reset Tool OBD II Airbag Active Scanner

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072VGJ7S8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mainly because it comes with lifetime updates, but it does cost few bucks more.

 

Congratulations!!!

 

My most heartfelt wishes of cheer and joy my friend. From one father to another, right on man!

how’s mama?

 

They're good, just make sure you get a "Kill-a-Watt" or similar watt meter to check out your fridge. I have two generators that I can parallel, a Sportsman 800w and a Yamaha EF2000is (1,600w). Together they can put out a constant 2,400watts (3,000 surge hah).

A friend's place, their fridge is the older style Top and Bottom freezer/fridge and it drew more than 1,000 watts to start up, I had to use the Yamaha instead. To help with motor/compressor/high initial drain applications, you can get a soft start capacitor or module (Schneider Electric, Raymond Innovations). The Capacitors will charge up slowly and release their energy whenever there's a dip to help the electric motor get up to speed without bogging down on your generator.

*bing* *bong*

Inverter generators are just the best because they're so quiet on ECO. They're even better if you put them in an insulated box and add a small 2-stroke moped muffler.

lol, I was going to mention you when nDub mentioned this. But yeah, those are good units, I would just say make sure you do extra oil changes in the beginning. Typically these motors are "licensed" by that company through Yamaha but when made through a cheap manufacturer, they usually don't take the extra care to clean the castings. Even my Yamaha EF2000is came up with a lot of flecks of metal when I got it new in 2010.

It's pretty nice if it's still there. I paid a visit last year. There're lights hung inside and it's a great place to sleep without the wind bothering you.

Congrats dood!

 

Congrats

 

...now I'd like a soft starter.

 

is there a power tool in this video??? I didn't see any Power tool.
