Zero intention of dealing with RAC, was just citing their prices. I don't plan to buy my w/d new, they'll be used. Those are two things that depreciate immediately, and generally go for $100-250 for a (basic) set whether they're 2 or 25 years old.

poo poo.... I just bought a car in Wisconsin, the website to title it is down, and a tow truck to Chicago is ~$1k. Looks like I'm going to have to rent a truck in the morning and pick it up myself... I make good decisions. Here's to hoping that it doesn't get impounded in the morning...

It's 3am, I've got work at 7am. We just got 6" of snow overnight and I still haven't bothered to fix the throttle linkage under the fuel tank on my snowblower. Won't be light outside until 8 at least. Time to pull a fuel tank at night in the snow!

Ride durty with a bill of sale in hand? Usually you have 30 days or so to register a car after you've bought it, and your insurance might cover it as long as you tell them you bought it in a reasonable timeframe. Is it currently non-op or something?

Is it currently non-op or something? The front passenger brake is seized, the rear passenger wheel bearing probably disintegrated a few years ago, and its suspension is way too shakey to take for 150 miles on the highway, otherwise I would have definitely just driven the drat thing home and gotten it titled through the mail like everyone else does. I tried, but I had to call it quits before my "new" car killed me or someone else in transit. When AAA said that they don't transport vehicles without plates, my excitement about my brand new POS turned into dread. I don't know how the ride back up with the Uhaul is going to be, but I was not having a good drive home

Anyone here know anything about garage door openers? For some reason, the range for closing the door has fallen to literally 10' regardless of remote I use, but I can still open it when I am a block away. Any idea why that might be happening other than it's hosed? Should I just buy a new one? It's an 8 year old cheapo Chamberlain.

You might have some interference from one of your neighbours adding new poo poo as well and have to re-pair in order to bounce the remote onto a new frequency or some poo poo. I spend a surprising amount of time doing garage door opener repairs in my house.

No, should have mentioned that. It was the first thing I checked. Changed the battery and still the same and does it with all remotes. E: Saw your ninja edit. Do you think it's a frequency issue if it always opens fine, just the closing? \/ No, not since this happened. I think it's just a crappy 40W utility incandescent, but I suppose that's easy enough to try in order to rule out. \/ slidebite fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Dec 5, 2016 |

Did you change the light bulb in the opener at any point recently? The garage door opener experts I've talked to all have various voodoo explanations for why CFL and LED bulbs in a garage door opener can burn down your house and kill your dog.

I think I will swap it. I did buy some LEDs a few months ago I guess it's possible that's what I put in it. If it is an issue, it sort of makes sense that it would open fine but doesn't close, because opening the light is off but when I close it, the light will be on spreading it's RAYS and could be interfering with the signal.

Most of their concerns were with the inrush current of the LED lightbulb being activated, something I wanted to bring up with Ken or someone else who fucks electrons for a living but never did. Mostly because I'm sick of my shaky-rear end garage door opener shaking incandescents to death.

Half of the LED bulbs we've tried putting in my friend's garage door opener don't work in it. The other half buzz loudly. I have no idea why this is, because you think it'd just be a relay to mains power or whatever. Maybe it's wired up backwards, but then you'd think they wouldn't work in a non-polarized lamp plugged in backwards, but they do.

I'm off work today and so far have been loving productive. Demo'ing what's left of the office/.5 bath in my shop, going to turn it into a guest apartment and full bathroom with a shower. Right now taking a lunch break with some 3 day old venison shepherd's pie with chips, and a winter lager.

Well, I just checked. It was an LED. I swapped it and see how it works when I leave after lunch. WHICH BRINGS UP ANOTHER QUESTION: I have some fixtures which are rated for 100W incandescent, but I'd really like to put high-lumen LED in there to throw some more light. Is there such thing as an LED bulb with a standard base that puts out way higher lumens but with less power? IE: Is there an LED that actually sucks back something like 30-40W that I can put in a 100W incandescent fixture and not just a 15 or so watt "100W equivalent?"

LEDs are obviously more expensive, but it will work outside in the cold better.
