What did you buy this week?

[Too many Kubotas]

Why not use Batteries+ for replacement key fobs, or AlfaOBD to program them yourself?

Yes, but. You still need the physical key/fob to drive away. I've tried it...

My wife's Kia has a smart card (same size/shape as a credit card) that can be used to lock/unlock the doors as well as start and drive away. I have one in my wallet - just in case.

Kids steal kias with a usb stick……i miss the good old days. A $2.00 key.

God forbid you have to insert a key instead of pushing a button

Almost bought a new corded 7 1/4" skill saw after getting obliterated with sawdust cuz the mag blade guard cracked and part of it broke off recently. Nah, I thought decks still pretty straight and it cuts true it's one of Milwaukee tools first tilt lok designs 20 yrs old I believe? Painters masking tape apparently has a multitude of uses and stopped the outpouring of sawdust. Wear safety glasses lol.

Well, how about - I didn't know of either/both options. And, it's a bit late now...

Update: I just checked Batteries Plus and they don't list Porsche. My guess is that the tech is too locked down.

Bought a DIY motorcycle tire changer Amazon.com: TUFFIOM 16-21 Inch Tire Changing Stand, Off-Road VehicleMotorcycleDirt Bike Stand Tire Changing Bead Remover, Tire Changing Repair Kit : Automotive a bench top cheapie and I'm the changer it's just a bead breaker and a stand for the grunt work. It did have one issue. The threading of the axle increased the diameter so I had to sand off some of the thread to get it to fit the hubs. Not ideal, but not a big deal for me.
Figured I could put legs on it later if I wanted but surprisingly it's not too bad on a table. At my age I tend to try to finesse things more than force.

Had my trailer dealer service department add 2 pin-on sidewinder jacks to the rear and 2 stake pockets with slide-in d-rings to the front of my Big Tex 16' 70PI trailer. The rear was squatting down when loading my NH Workmaster 25 putting pressure on the hitch. The front d-rings makes it easy to tie down the front end with 2 straps that also cross over loader.

Bought a 6 x 10 dump trailer with fold down sides.
