I have been putting off doing the brakes on my Malibu. I might get to them this weekend. They might look similar.

Mine came today. I got the spike installed, and the bar and chain. But it’s raining and I’m sick, so I didn’t get a chance to try it out.

Just the regular 18v Lithium Ion batteries.

Cell service is terrible right now... we got a real wet snow storm and lost power/cell service so I couldn’t post pics.

Here’s the saw...

I’m in Michigan Bluff, up the hill from Foresthill, we usually lose power when someone farts, not yet this time!

No one checks their oil anymore. All brands use more oil than they should. I think its because of the long oil change intervals the epa pushes. We had an 06 3 and an 08 5. Neither used any oil but i changed the oil every 3000.

But your right. The 2.3 does seem to use oil. Have had many with jumped timing chains due to the tensioners being starved for oil. Especially the turbo one in the speed 6 and the cx7. Any of the fusion 2.3 that came in with low oil where just engine replacement. Too far too long with no oil.

Subaru’s seem to be the worst. Just about everyone I know with a Subaru has blown their engine. My mom had a new 2015 and it was on its third engine when she traded it in on a Toyota Highlander. She’s had no problems with that car at all.

I’m in Trinity County. We lost power for just about a whole day... some of the outlying areas are still out two days later. Our local power company (not PG&E thank god) is really good about getting it back online as quickly as possible.

It was a good excuse to finally get my generator hooked into my panel... ran it for about 6hrs before they got the power back on.

Nothing too fancy. It doesn’t even have electric start. It’s just a 6500w Generac... but I was able to run most of my house off of it. I just had to turn off the breaker to the water heater. It looks exactly like this...

I wish I had a big one, but we got by fine for the 6 or so hours we needed it... and it used about 3 gallons of gasoline in that time.

Yeah mine is a little overkill, came with house. I wish I had the useable space it takes up. Would take a bit to get it out from where it is now. But kinda cool, told neighbors to get long cords : ))

How does that generac start in the cold? I have found they dont like to start real easy when the temp gets below 25. The briggs engined units seem to fire up any temp!

Makes for good saw shelf in summer though

It was right around freezing and it fired right up. First time starting it, too. It rarely gets down into the teens here.

Just got back from the urgent care clinic, fractured my wrist when I slipped on ice in a customer driveway. Tools flew everywhere, never found my little pipe cutters, or my flux brush. I didn't look too hard though. Managed to finish the job thanks the DPW guy that was there to turn the water back on. He ended up tightening the compression nuts to attach the meter and the final torque on a copper female adapter for me

I'd like to do that for my house. Did you install yourself?

Yeah Subaru f'ed up when they went to them newer 2.0-2.5 motors. From hat I gathered the block and heads are under sized and warp quickly leading to bad head gaskets.
