I have a rolling jack, but it isn't working. For whatever reason, it
crossed my mind tonight. It is a very hand mechanism. I think it
is rated at several tons, so can handle the Xterra. And most passenger
trucks and cars. A very handy unit. If it works. The last
time I tried to use it, it had no lift, and was actually difficult to
lower. Gravity would not function to lower it, as has been true in the
past.
I figured it would be easy to fix. And, I suspect it will be.
Still, without particular experience, or the manual... So, I went
looking. Without knowing the brand, not sure it is on there. And,
probably being from Sears... which mostly doesn't even exist at this point, I
just went generic. In this case, I think from Harbor Freight, so
literally and virtually generic. Not... always a bad thing, just... it
is what it is.
I went to order the oil, but the link took me to a different product. I
looked around a bit, and found the right product, at a quarter the
price. Odd how those things work. *dirty side glance* Still,
so it is on order. Oh, and... I just thought... perhaps looking for a
multi-pack of o-rings. Those are excellent to have, anyway.
Whenever I need objects de mechanicals, for this or that, I generally order a
wide array. Sure, with these, they will age. But, often, it
surprises me how long things really do last. So, I will go looking for
those, after this.
And, yes, I... think I can get that thing working before long. I need to
change oil, soon, anyway. I just... may need some help, sorting things
out. I have, honestly, never changed oil. Or a tire. It has
never crossed my path... the tire. Oil? My size, lack of garage or
safe place to do it for most of my life, and then just... "gravity of
incidences prior" made it so I didn't think about it, when a garage, and
driveway, were available. Well, and truly, health. I'd like to
learn to do this, even if it really isn't necessary. It's... the
idea. Perhaps and learn to do other things as well. Breaks?
Headlights? Who knows.
Ah, the vid. Just... thinking you might have similar interests,
problems, or simply be curious about things. Who knows where knowing a
little something might be worth it for your own good. Even if it is just
an intellectual thing you pass on to someone else. Save some coin,
possibly, too? Who knows.
Blood sugar was a bit high. I really hit the mints, after the drop into the 50s yesterday. Couldn't stop eating them. It was 194, I think, and that was after a meal, and dose, plus slow acting for the evening. Yeah. Anyway, another meal, another dose, will see in a few hours. Still, I would far prefer a 200 than a 50. Just saying. I'll keep at it.
A shower, before long. Then waterers. It was 47 outside, last I checked. Pretty much the same indoors as it was when I woke, strangely. Or... not strange? I don't know, sometimes, these days. Strange has become the new normal. I fit in! :p Be well or not, I'll pray for you whichever.
Oh... by the way? God doesn't give the right to own guns. Rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Aye. Those things, to be entertained legitimately, require, at times, firearms. It means a crowd can't just, or easily, take whatever they want. It means, as I giant, I can't just do as I please. It means a woman can protect herself, in all ways, from someone even my size. Without it? Might makes right. Read history. Understand why the elites in Britain, Australia, and Canada have taken gun rights away, and what they have done in the doing of that. It's... going to get worse.

Yep! I found multi-packs, of both metric and sae... got to do both, on some things. Found several packs of springs too, but those aren't on immediate order, just... in the basket... though if for next order cycle or further on, is another thing. Springs are more difficult, because they can be short, fat, stouter, etc. Still... several packs will at least give someone a starting point in replacing something. At least those aren't sae or metric, not really relevant.
