Forgot to mention, Safelite is coming out today.

Guy said he's done a Land Cruiser before (or 3) and he didn't always have to replace the seal. But he does have one to use in case I want it replaced anyway.

I hate to tell him how to do his job, so I was tactful in explaining how the FSM requires replacement of said seal whenever the windshield comes out.

What do you think?

 

Be careful the fly spray for horse can be pretty nasty for humans. Dunno about that one specifically, but the ones we use aren't human friendly.

 

My safelite guy knew what was up but I asked first and offered the manual pages just in case. He reused my old seal, its fine if it isn't chalky and dry

 

Ok, cool.

Cause the seal still has a black to it.

It's overcast and cool today too so at least I know he won't be rushing it even though I have a pop up ready for him.

 

when I started building my truck I had a perpetual cough and decided a 3m respirator was the least responsible I could be.

yeah, if I’m working and the mask doesn’t fog up I just fit w it on cause the sec you take off and out back on it fogs up.

Regarding bug sprays, careful with what you use and where you spray it.

Some synthetics, camp, hiking, backpacking gear etc doesn't play well with those sprays. Something about the active ingredients in them react negatively and even put holes in people's gear or ruined their ability to repel water. Just a heads up.

 

If FR’s can’t handle bug spray we got a problem

 

Hell, DEET can melt certain plastics.

It's not to say the quality of said item is in any way "inferior". Some things just aren't meant to be exposed to DEET or other certain sprays.

 

i've heard of soaking your clothes in Permethrin if the areas you go in are bad enough. Let em dry and wear after

 

Bottle says non toxic
Safe for people and pets
Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
May cause skin irritation.
I don't spray directly onto my skin I mist above me and let it fall on me. I spray on shoes and pants legs and never get Ticks
I spray the screen door and bugs stay away even when the light next to the door is on at night.
Big biting horseflies hate it.

 

If it doesn’t burn your skin it isn’t keeping mosquitoes away.

 

You don't have to believe me but it's hands down the best mosquitoes spray I have ever used. With no bad smell or burning sensation lol

 

I've been at our place since 2011 and I still have a dirt backyard. It's for the environment

 

If we had no dogs, most likely it would've all been hard scaped.

But I prefer cool/cold weather, and since we don't get much of that here, I figured I wouldn't spend much time in the backyard anyway.

 

I don't like watering and the lawn was weeds when I moved in. They're doing enough to keep the dogs from bringing too much dirt in lol

yeah that seems good, they'll probably hold for another 200k mi if they don't get in a fight with a tree or rock on the trail
