60+ year old thread.

they did, thanks, She's doing much better

 

"I know the Honda dealer will give me the "just needed a little air excuse for tire pressures" I only wish the dash would display the pressure of each tire so I know what sensor is bad. Hmm, maybe I need a good excuse for a fancy scan tool."

For some reason the "quote" button sends me back several pages.

There are some aftermarket TPMS devices available that do just that. I put one on my wife's RAV4 when I put snow tires on it. She liked them so well that she uses them all the time now.

 

details on said device please

What a handsome guy. Looks like he has the same hobbies as our cat Amigo.

X2 on the info. Looks like it is easy to use with shorter valve stems that are on my Toyotas. I am in the market for a decent tire pressure gauge.

Good morning, everyone. PT went well yesterday. Still have a little restriction when moving the arm in a side lateral movement. Since PT I can brush my teeth and comb my hair with no discomfort. Sounds silly but both activities do but a strain on the shoulder. Light day today with a lot of rain in the forecast so no grilling today. I was planning on doing a chicken, but a pasta dinner might win out tonight.

The ribs came out pretty well yesterday. I also did string beans in a new recpie.

 

Morning Tom.
You sure make good looking ribs . Have you ever thought of doing some YouTube videos for us "wanna be" barbecuer and smokers. I read your posts and gain a couple of pounds.
Whats on the menu for today.
Have a good one

 

Winter storm today here in Michigan. 6 to 8 inches of heavy wet snow. I'll actually have to start the snowblower for this one when I get home from work.

 

sixtys/wannabes/tire inflaters. I bought a DeWalt battery powered inflater because I have their batteries. It's a bit loud but it works well. Pressure gauge is within a pound of my fancy tire gauge, good enough for me. You set the pressure you want, turn it on, it turns off by itself. Handy.

That system is due here any minute. It stretches from the Gulf of Mexico almost to Montreal! Big fella. Stay safe out there folks.

 

A lot of guys I know on motorcycle forums are using the FOBO TPMS systems. It's pretty simple, just replacement valve stem caps that connect via Bluetooth to a wirelsee display.

I'm jealous...can't remember even owning a comb

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Total success in doing nothing yesterday. Gathered 1.5" of nice rain, got all the Doctors to give up appointment times, got the RAV4 service with FREE oil change scheduled, and even got Ryobi to send me the little battery cover for my new grinder that went missing (rubber bands in the future).
Going to run an errand later, and probably take Litttle Big Red for an oil change. Cold mornings and chilly days, so probably not much more than that!

 

Plug "aftermarket tpms" into your favorite search engine. Or do it at Amazon. We bought ours thru Amazon. Prices range from over $300 to what we paid, around $50.

 

I really, really like my TPMS that I'm NOT using. They work really well and they are invisible, extremely cheap, and very reliable. All I have to do is pay attention to how the tire looks and drives... and if the tire needs air I use a gauge and fill them. I figure I have to adjust tire pressure in a tire about twice a year and while I'm doing it I check the other tires. Otherwise I don't really worry about tires except for the amount of tread left on them.

Worrying about TPMS sensors is just one more complication in my life that I don't really need.

 

That’s what I’m talking about!

 

I set all 5 tires seasonally. If tpms lights up, it could be a loose/bad valve core, or just seasonal temperature change. Easy fix. If it's a slow leaker, I'll take the tire off, take it to town, have it fixed. Don't like air tools on my newer lug nuts.
I remember sitting in their waiting room, hearing the new guy's air tool running non-stop on tires, and cringing. I have a newer set of real lug nuts. Originals consist of a thin outer shell pressed onto a cheap nut. At least the studs were ok. I don't think they own a torque wrench.

 

Yesterday was a simple pasta. Pasta Zero for me,. Today is a spatchcocked chicken and some smoked baked beans.

Good morning. Heading out to the gym for some cardio and stretching. I need to go through about 100 music CD's to see which ones I still need to digitize on a media server. Today should be a nice day out, yesterday it rained the entire day.

 

Morning 60+

 

Looks like lot of rain last night . Some of the snow gone . 34* at the moment. Back yard . And I need a new gate in front of the camper

 

Foggy too
The deer are really hammering my lawn and flower beds

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Back from bloodwork, which took forever today. Our practice of giving the early crowd an hour to be done didn't work. Lot was easy to park - office was full - and they were not the normal, very efficient crew. Oh well, I get Eggs Benedict for my trouble. Yesterday was slow oil change in the truck, slow WalMart that had me go to slow HEB and still not get what I wanted. Was sunny, but still too chilly to replace an outlet in the front that gave up. Might get to it today. Then again.... Sunny, but chilly. So, what winter is supposed to be around here!
