P3At holster?

As the title says. Looking for something IWB for use while walking (exercise) and mountain biking. Has a crimson trace laser on it. I think kydex would be best because of sweating. But I can't find anything other than a cheap ebay one. Just trying to find more options.

Not sure how leather would be do to the sweat over time?

Holster suggestions for .380.

I'm open to suggestions but I have some particular requirements I would like. I just can't find anything in all of my googling.

I walk (exercise) and ride mountain bikes. I'd like to carry my keltec p3at w/crimson trace laser IWB. Seems kydex would be better because...sweat. But I can't find anything that meets my requirements.

I did see a cheap ~2x.xx ebay holster but I'd rather steer clear. I would like something around $40-50 if possible.

Would leather be a terrible choice for the inside that meets skin? Wearing an undershirt isn't possible in this GA heat. How uncomfortable is kydex in my situation?

Thanks

Battery options for the S24 Ultra?

Anyone replaced theirs themselves? Youtube videos make it look...possible. I'm just a little apprehensive.

Local place wants $100 to replace it with a genuine samsung battery. That does seem fair but I'm trying to not spend alot of money if possible.

Amazon has some batteries and kits for ~$20 or so. But sometimes I don't trust amazon reviews.

If anyone has done this and has a link to the batteris they used I would like to see.

BTW my battery drops at least 20% overnight without anyhting really running in the background. I know that's not terrible but I also have to charge it a few times a day although for short periods.

I recently did a full reset of the phone just in case it was an app causing the issue but it didn't help.

Need screw removal ideas.

The screw head was stripped in my key fob so I had to drill the head out. Got it open and changed the battery. It does snap back together but ideally I want to get the remainder of the screw out. All I can think of is tiny needle nose nose pliers. Anything else that might help me? I've tried to search amazon but don't really see anything ultra tiny unless I missed it.

Thanks for any ideas.

Need new shocks.

My front passenger side lower bushing has left the building on my 2017 JKU. It's a Rancho RS999326 shock.

I called Rancho and they said the bushing isn't replaceable????

I guess I'll need to buy a new shock (might as well replace both).

Is there anything else I should consider? Need to go ahead and order these ASAP.

Help making jewelry armoire compartments.

Have a project I am not familiar with at all. I have searched youtube and just haven't found the example I need. Hoping someone here has some ideas.

Refinishing a jewelry armoire. It had small divider/compartments in it originally but those were pretty destroyed. So, I need to make new ones.

I have most tools needed, I presume. But detail precession especially on my table saw is not easy.

And in the end, these with be covered with fabric of some sort.

Any advice?

Leg cramp on long drive?

Anyone experience this? I'm not young and I've driven a handful of vehicles on long trips in the past. I just drive 5.5 hours in the Jeep (2017 JKU) and my right leg was killing me both ways. It would cramp up on the backside up above the knee. I only was able to stop each trip for a quick bathroom break. I did put it on cruise control and was able to move the leg around alot.

Besides stopping, getting out and walking around for a while, I'm not sure what else I can do.

I've driven a few types of mini vans, F150's and a few SUV's in the past. Never an issue like this.

Just starting my research.

I'm just starting this so bare with me. I'm thinking 7/8 days in December. I really don't have any "must go to" places but I don't care for overly touristy places. Say Dec 11-18 or so. I am flexible.

Smaller towns/villages would be fun. Walkable, good views. I would like to go to Naples but "chaotic" keeps coming up. Not sure that's my style but I lived there when I was younger so I would like to at least go back even for a day.

In researching, besides naples, Cetara was recommended. It sounded like a decent place. Anyone been there and have any first hand opinions?

Again ,I am entertaining all ideas.

I do have lodging questions but I need to get cities and towns decided first.

Need help adjusting gears.

On my ride today I noticed when the chain was on the 5th gear (from the top) it made a slight "grinding" sound. I'm definitely going to clean it but I stopped by my local shop and he tried to explain the adjustment to me but he did it on a bike that the rear looked different. So, I am not sure what to try?

Also, the teeth looked OK to me.

Any help is appreciated.

Can't get rear wheel back on. Thru axle?

I can't get my rear wheel back on. Well, it goes on but the thru axle goes about 90% of the way through and the.....nothing. I fought with it 45 minutes at least. It looked perfectly lines up.

So, I removed the wheel and just tried to put the thru axle on...nope. Same thing. Bike is a polygon T7. It's had ~10 rides on it, so pretty new. Wheel has never been off before. It came off without an issue.

I did take a video but not sure if I can link it? Is that allowed here?

Ideas on what to do with this space?

I just installed a sun shade to the right of the column yesterday. I can't find one (other than a custom one $$$) for the space in between the fireplace and column. It's about 30" wide.

Just looking for ideas on what to do with the space. I grill a good bit on the patio so I could install a shallow shelf structure of some type just for holding small things while I grill. I'm not sold on that 100%.

Any other thoughts?

Whatever I build I want it useful as well as keeping the sun off of me when I am back there grilling, etc.

Help with exterior sun shade

I am trying to find a way to get some shade on my back patio area. I don't necessarily need the entire width shaded.

I have seen the shades from Amazon/Home Depot but not sure how to approach this. If there is a DIY method, I'm all ears. I don't want it to look terrible but I want to do this budget friendly.

The way the width goes is there's a 30" wide gap and then an 8" wide column. Then another 183" (15.25 ft) gap. The post is right in the way and it's 8". One problem is the post isn't flush wit the back of the house. It protrudes an inch or more. So I either need to figure out a way to buy a wider one and somehow attach or get one that's 30" wide just for that spot. Either way, i also want a good bit of the 183" shaded as well. I don't need it entirely shaded.

I can't post a pic unfortunately. Just looking for some ideas.

THanks

Help mounting rear tire.

I've pondered over this for quite some time now. I am looking to build or buy something (cheap) to help me line up and mount my spare when I rotate. The weight isn't terrible but I am getting older and I also have a rear camera mounted in the center so I want to be careful not to damage it.

Anyway, i came across this Low-Lift Transmission Jack

I need to measure and make sure it can go high enough. Not sure if I could build something that would function this well either.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

Weber Kettle and a tri tip.

Never cooked a tri tip before. We have a 2.5 lb tri tip I need to cook in the next few days. I'll do it on the kettle.

I have youtubed some info and I think I have a good handle on it mostly (but I'll listen to any tips you all have).

The main issue is my wife will not eat it if it's pink. I know, I know. But it's not negotiable.

So, do I just shoot for ~150 in the center so the ends are above that and hopefully not pink?

Or is there some other way?

2013 spark plug replacement

Had a p0301 code engine misfire cylinder 1. Replaced the plug and cleared the code but it shows "permanent" .

Chatgpt says it should automatically clear after a few cycles and miles. No CEL and it runs smooth.

Anyway, #1 was a little difficult but not as bad as I thought it might be.

Just looking for some thoughts on 2-5. And honestly hoping to hear they aren't any more challenging than #1.

Local shop wanted $668. This seemed way too high.
