What a great topic. I love welding. I am what you call a self taught welder. I wish I had the proper education and training but I don't. (though I have been to both Lincoln Electrics factory in Cleveland and Millers in Appleton). I have not let that stop me though. I am also familiar with...

I am interested in this topic. I am in the process of switching over my house batteries to lifep04. I currently have 4 Battle Born lifep04 batteries bought for over 5000.00 and will be buying 4 more soon. I am wanting these to be the last batteries I have to buy. Once I have a full bank of 8...

Skorohod, great pictures but I am wondering what is going on with your bike petals? How can you pedal with them like that? are they broke?

Its not amazing that he is still at it, a grifters got to grift! Only ignorance keeps this con going, its the one inexhaustible resource this con man counts on.

Mark I just don't know but I am going by this. its from transportation Alberta. Its stated in multiple places that helmets are required, no exemption for over 18 is mentioned, and it was published exactly one year ago so I think it must be the most recent legislation that covers Alberta. Have a...

What? are you sure about that, I could have swore I read it was a requirement in Alberta.

"Yauza forest park (part of Elk island national park): " Exact same name for a park near me. https://exploreedmonton.com/things-to-do/attractions-and-experiences/elk-island-national-park

I enjoy your pictures. No snow here yet even though I am further north than Calgary. As this picture shows from my walk last night, just mild temperatures. If you look close in the center of that picture is a big beaver, nibbling on willows right at the waters edge. He had no fear of me, I got...

I think the specs on it was 800 lumen , I am very happy with it, dont know how I lived with the factory light!

Flat tire, I think I have read every (or most) posts on this board since joining, but I am a infant in my understanding of much that I read, like "flux weakening" Though I will keep reading on and some things will sink in. For the record, I did take the advice of those more experienced, and only...

I did it but am taking your advice and running the supplementary pack with the main pack at all times. I also have a voltmeter added to the main pack so I am always aware of its voltage level. So far its been working fine.

Skorohod, Those road conditions, or lack off, look like they would really put a bike to the test. Even at 50km a hour 350km in a day is way more hours on a bike seat than my spine could take.

Very interesting, I just may try that. I have been using a meat slicer to evenly thin cut potato's, spread them out on a paper plate, or better yes a plastic net, place in the microwave and cook. You have to watch each plate as the window of time from just right to burnt as a crisp is measured...

In the category of the worst built, worst operating pure sine unit I ever bought, used, or have seen is this POS. I wouldn't send it back to them for a refund because I wanted to own a example of the worst built (imho) sinewave inverter...

In the almost as good category is the smaller unit of the above.(mod sine) https://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-813-3000-UL-Xpower-3000W-Inverter/dp/B004C5P98W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Much lighter but still packs a punch. No meters on it, kind of plain jane but its a solid work horse...
