Filters are good.

Totally unrelated but I did make some new house garage progress. These hexagon lights are fantastic for the price! $100 for those. The tote storage workbench trend is hot and I see why, it’s very easy to build and works great.

I been wanting to buy some of those lights but curious how long they will last.

I forgot to add that it kept throwing the old tensioner belt after I installed the new compressor. I put a camera in there to watch when it would happen, and it was always when I had to step on the gas to accelerate quickly, like merging into traffic. Speculation on the interwebz at the time was that over time, the compressor mounting plane had warped ever so slightly over the 230K miles of heat/cooldown cycles on my aluminum block L92. But who knows. I switched to the stretch belt and never went back. No problems whatsoever in the few years and 25,000 miles since.

I vaguely remember reading about the stretch belts when I had my supercharged stick Silverado. The blower and the manual transmission shifts were super violent and it would shoot belts off. Went 8 rib and an innovators west kit for the serpentine belt but then the AC belts started flying off. No idea what I did to fix, I almost wonder if I went to a stretch belt too.

I was kinda worried as well, with this second order I’ll have a dozen of so pieces left as spares. If they totally suck and just all go out I guess I’m out $230 but I’ve wasted more on less. I do sort of wish they were RGB color changers, the white is almost too much, a softer 4500-5000k would be nice. These are 6500

Every LED light for the garage or shop seems to be super white light, I guess they want us wide eyed when we’re working on shit and not all relaxed and ready for a nap.

I messed up and this might total it……


Didn’t seat my trailer on the ball all the way as I was in a rush to go get my wife’s valentines gift after work (it’s a new/used washer and drier). Half a mile down the road I hit a rough spot and that mofo jumped off and smashed into my bumper. Thank god it didn’t hit the truck lid!

You did a great job of "creating work" for yourself. That is what safety chains are for.

What kinda guy gets his wife a new/used washer and dryer as a valentine's gift?!

I'm kidding, of course!

Another bumper from the junkyard and off you go, right?

That'll buff out....
