morning all, happy Wednesday 🕞 off on a road trip yesterday, a lot of driving today, but a good way to spend a bit of time off.

morning all, happy Tuesday 🕒

wouldn't dream of it

gee, that's a lot longer than I would have guessed... more money for car parts, eh?

plenty of time to drink it? or does it go off? I'm a newb when it comes to this sort of stuff.

fair enough my bad for the mis-characterization.

what about the missus? she a booze-hound like you?

yeah, fair enough... do you drink anything other than beer?

good to achieve a goal sometimes, even if it's a negative one

excellent result

Just happy to be on leave for two weeks

Gave this a crack back in August 2022; just one application; reasonable result... haven't touched the headlights since haha

morning all, happy Monday and public holiday! I'm on leave for two weeks starting today, so good times to come (doing mostly nothing, probably)

so it was the starter wire? or earth? that puff suggested?

morning all, happy Sunday and Australia Day! 🦘

My assumption was right about the "plastic"... they cracked and broke and had to be glued over and over... decided to go for a bit higher quality and got these around May 2023 (gee, I've got a big backlog of "stuff" to post about on social media...) and the only complaint I've got is the bluetooth range, but that's liveable... "Sony WH-1000XM3" 2nd-hand via CEX again (just like these) and I've been using them every day, basically, with similar to my earphones (link earlier) equalizer modification to flatten the output using Wavelet on my phone and Equalizer APO on my laptop which takes out the "curve" put in my Sony and (and EQ APO boosts the output to be as loud as these old Koss & Monoprice headphones) the output is as though the EQ was "flat". The plastic hasn't fallen apart once with these, which is great! Sound quality, ANC, comfort, ease-of-use, all are excellent on these, everything is better than the monoprice I had, as it was clearly a cheap imitation. The only thing is because I've used them SO much, that the ear-pads are starting to degrade haha. I'll just replace them and continue on, I think. At the same time, I bought another one from CEX as a "backup", going by the dogma of "one is none" (e.g. when one breaks, you've got none, so you need at least one backup/redundancy) and bought these too, "Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless" (first one I bought had a problem: right-ear is about 9dB lower in volume than the left-ear, which I tried to compensate with via EQ/PreAmp setup mentioned above, but it still sounded horrible out of the right... so I returned it and got a perfectly-functional replacement which is the pictured one: Have hardly used these ones, but they go good on a plane, for example.

Turns out the missus had bought me a karcher "K3 HR Car & Deck" ages ago, as a birthday gift, but I never bothered to set it up at the old rental but out it came (from the box) for the new house Took ages, but here's a direct example of the difference the "cleaning" made (mostly just focusing the high pressure water onto tiny spots haha)... got it done before the housewarming (~17th Aug 2024), but took this photo moments ago: It took most of two days to get the cleaning properly done around the back sections of the house

fair enough... just have a nice lazy weekend of NOT flooring it, I guess

good stuff to find the culprit

if you bought the ticket, just go you slacker

happy Saturday 🕝

so it still does it elevated with the handbrake applied? localised the sound to the rear-left for sure?

morning all, happy Friday 🕑

ABS sensor or something relevant to the handbrake operations on that rear left brake system.

morning all, happy Thursday 🕜
