    It's even more noticeable nowadays with LED bulbs in everything. Any little dip and I notice it, mostly motor loads.

    Yea my bathroom vanity pulses with led.
    My garage has led’s and I use a incandescent 60 watt to add pressure to the system so it won’t pulse.

    All my older hand power tools, saws , drills , routers, the cords are rotting. Fix most of them with electrical tape, still kinda of bummer. They all work great, still frustrating

    I have a boob light in the hallway with LED bulbs. Thing has a glow to it all the time from some stray voltage with the way they wired the house back in the 60's. They make a device to go inline to solve this, I just haven't got to it yet. I thought technology was supposed to help us? o_O

    No shit.
    Major tick hatch here. Scalped the grass in the dog area and they're still everywhere.

    This stuff works and will go along the fence line if it ever stops raining.

    We only refer to them as boob and/or titty lights. And everyone knows exactly to what you’re referring. :rofl:

    Kinda reminds me of the "shot glass" drill bushing holders, made for making holes on irregular surfaces. 3 points of contact triangulate a perpendicular plane. I used these things on airframe construction.

    Maybe this will help... (We may be beyond help, but...) I just ordered a manual Pop & Lock with BOLT Technology from NAPA, an online dealer for vehiclesecurityinnovators.com since I was looking through the November 2023 issue of American Rifleman to determine whether the recent issue announcing Timney Triggers release of a trigger for lever actions would fit a .30-30. Nope, Marlin added a cross-bolt safety to the 336 in 1984, so it likely won't fit with those built from 1948 to 1983. Saved a few bucks there, while learning the story of Lulu, who packed orders for Timney Triggers. She would always hand out Tootsie Pops on Halloween, and one year had so many left over that she took them to work, adding one to every order. The company has continued that tradition.
    Yesterday, I ordered new bow decals for the 1962 Grumman Sportboat from https://www.marathonboat.com/shop after learning from the Spokane dealer that the Yamaha 2.5 HP 4-stroke outboard is expected to arrive during the first half of June (the dealer paid for it on a March 30 invoice, and it hadn't shipped as of April 30). Like Marley's ghost, rattling the supply chains...

    Posted in the 2.7L Access Cab thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2-7l-access-cab-thread.212302/page-106#post-30601375
    Parker Toyota performed their annual maintenance April 30 - May 01, called the first afternoon re the water pump leaking, which they installed the next day. Oil change w/coupon for a free car wash at a nearby business, and completed the installation of the LCE Performance street exhaust header, as I was unable to get both spring flange bolts connected (left the one in a bowl on the cup holder), torqued the header bolts that I tightened as much as I could in the tight 8-bay garage at my condo complex. They're willing to install the set of Bilstein 4600 shocks that I purchased (after a set of 5100s that increased in price 5% during the week between order placement and delivery) in 2022 sometime in the future. Thanks to @Sprig for his advice and comradeship on TW. Ready to roll this summer with Bambeds, Luno mattress, and more accoutrements. Things wear out over time, running or not, so I look forward to running Barcelona Red more. Kids and grands provide reason to explore, and teach them to hunt and fish...
    The SR5-DLT was ordered as Dad's Last Truck, spec'd to pull an EZ-Loader galvanized bunk trailer with his 1962 Grumman Sportboat (still being made to order by https://www.marathonboat.com/grumman-canoes) that I ordered replacement oarlock bushings from to replace the worn compressed paper ones as he suggested. Supply chain expects delivery of a Yamaha 2.5 HP 4-stroke outboard in June. I can row.

    BTW, LC Engineering Performance is nearly ready to introduce their 2TR-FE Supercharger kit, since Magnuson redesigned the unit shortly after LCE designed and tested their original setup, prompting new engineering and testing. It's a Root system supercharger. I'm happy enough with the reduced back pressure of the larger diameter tubes in the exhaust header that make the engine less prone to stall when moving from a stop with the clutch interlock. Parker's service managers like it, too.

    May the Fourth be with You, or 'Cuatro de Mayo' according to an episode of 'Arrested Development' as I learned at church early Sunday morning before praise band rehearsal (piano, keyboard, electric guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, and vocals). The characters in that episode decided to consume all the Mexican food and drink, so there wouldn't be anything left for the Mexicans to celebrate with the next day...
