They last a long time but due to the vibration and stress they will eventually need to be replaced, especially the little screw.

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything else out there so I made a quick video. Afterwards, I found that the repair manual does show how to do the adjustment but not many people have the shop manual. Replacing the parking brake pads are something else but they shouldn’t wear out unless you drive the car with the parking brake on. Typically just adjust the tension on the cable and you should be fine. I hope this helps!

Thank you Don! We appreciate your comment. The garden continues to grow and bloom. It turned out really nice, and we’re saving a lot of money on our monthly water bill.

Yes, we are in Southern California, Ontario, I believe we are region 9(?)

We used 3/4 inch California Gold for the topper, and for the perimeter stones we used roja mujeres (?).

Thank you. The garden is holding up and maturing very nicely. No major maintenance yet, although we do have to trim some pups and babies that are over growing.

We live on a corner lot that faces East, and we are fortunate to get some sun from all directions mostly from the East, South, and West. Partial sun from the North depending on the area of the yard, such as the long section next to the block wall or the front area next to the driveway. The sunlight also varies throughout the day.

If you listen closely, I say “Pull the Choke.” I agree, never pull the clutch when starting your ride. I could have mentioned to verify that your tranny is in Neutral.

​​​@@JuanLopez-nt1dh I think he was saying that because in the video you can clearly see your left hand pulling the clutch in prior to pressing the start button....To be fair I don't think it makes any difference on this particular bike. Older stuff? Maybe.This bike has neutral safety switches. I don't see why a manufacturer would put a safety switch on the clutch lever that ALLOWS you the starter to turn over (while the year lever is in gear) if it was going to damage anything. Think about it ...if the bike is working properly, the neutral safety switch won't allow the starter to turn whilev the transmission in gear because the bike will lurch. However , once you press in the clutch, it's designed to start even if it's in gear . Why design a button that bypasses the neutral safety switch on the clutch if it were to damage it? I would think it would be designed so it would not start, irregardless of the clutch being pressed in or not. Some antique machines will try to start in gear and roll...sure. But a 1993 (as long as it hasn't been tampered with) isn't one of those machines.

Haha! You’re right! I did pull the freakin clutch when I hit the start button…damn!…alright, I’ll own up to it and allow me to explain. I had just rolled my bike out of the garage and I couldn’t remember if I had left it in first to prevent it from rolling (yeah another thing folks might complain about). Anyway, making the video was happening very quickly and as a safety precaution (so that the bike wouldn’t lurch, as many experienced bikers have experienced when starting a bike not in neutral) , as a reflex I pulled the clutch and immediately released it as I noticed the green neutral indicator light on. Afterwards, I thought that I should have mentioned to make sure that the bike’s transmission gear is in the neutral position. Had I made the video while sitting on my bike I would have instinctively verified that, and simply pressed the start button and nothing else. Ok, next time I’ll use the following script: Make sure that fuel valve on the left side of the tank is in the open position to allow Good fuel to flow into the carburetor. Enable/disable kill switch if you have one, make sure tranny is in neutral gear(verify Green indicator light on tank on) after inserting the key in the tank selecter switch to rotate it to start/run position, on the right handle bar put switch in run position, pull choke on lower left side of tank, crank throttle twice, push start button on right handle bar. If the battery is not dead the bike should start. If the bike doesn’t start, proceed to troubleshoot. Thanks for the comments!

@@JuanLopez-nt1dh thanks for the reply! I'll have to make sure, but I'm relatively certain you should be just fine pulling the clutch in when cranking. I really don't think it would harm anything on the motorcycle you own, or any bike that new.

Thank you! It really is maturing nicely. We are starting to have trim pups.

Thank you Eric for the info, that’s good to know. We were in San Diego last weekend visiting friends and catching a ballgame at Petco Park. Driving around the neighborhoods we saw a lot of very nice succulent gardens. It’s definitely a garden friendly place!

Yes, the rear view camera and sensors work.

Thank you! We’re glad you enjoy it. It really is nice walking through the garden and seeing the sprouting pups and blooming flowers. The bees and the hummingbirds are liking it as well.

You are welcome! It is a joy to walk through the garden and to see how the various succulents have grown and bloomed. Very soon we’ll have to do some maintenance such as removing some of the overcrowding aoneums and aloes…

I don’t believe that I can help you with your updating issues, because I have never tried it. Reach out to Crutchfield.com and ask if they can offer any help.

Yes, parking break is off first. Jack up rear driver’s Side and follow the cable from the rear driver’s side brake towards the passenger rear tire and you will see it tucked under.

Thanks a bunch! And it should be able to be adjusted to work ?

This adjustment should work provided that the rear parking brake liner is not completely worn out and the brake assembly is in good working order.

20 to 24 liquid ounces, but check the dipstick before draining and refill to the same.

DUHHH! Is right! I didn’t mention that I had not started my Harley in over a month, and the message was meant to demonstrate how bulletproof HDs are. And you know, you probably have people out there that don’t know how to fire a HD up.

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! It’s funny that just about everyone who has owned a watch has a story to go with it. These Seiko Aviator watches were very large for that time and they were very attractive that drew attention when you wore it. Both of my sons have their watches as do I and maybe someday they will be heirlooms…

Thank you! I made a follow up video that shows the garden today with larger islands and rows. We learned a lot and I plan to make a lessons learned video. Stay tuned!

Thank you for the comment! I hope that video helps.

Hello Brassteeth, I’m learning about this species as well, and what I have learned is that they are very slow growers. Since planting mine about 8 months ago they haven’t grown any noticeable amount. On a good note, they haven’t died either! From what I’ve learned is that they will grow well in the earth or in a pot. Good luck with yours!

@@JuanLopez-nt1dh thanks for your time and help. I've got my mind made up to at least pull it out and look at the roots

Hey Vikingtrader, thanks for the recommendation, but there’s another way to undo the hood latches without the hook-bar or homemade hood release cables. I was at the junkyard where the hood latch cable was broken so I had to figure out another way…and I did. When I get the time I’ll make a video on it.

Hello Joris, funny you should mention that…we just happened to have received a rare ECT from our loving cousins in The Netherlands and we will soon place it in a special place in the Garden. 😊

Thank you Eli!

Thank you Eli…we really enjoy it as well!

Thank you Ds, the garden is really an enjoyable sight.

Thank you Js, we do plan to make some minor changes an to begin to harvest the pups and babies.

Hello Ronnie, we would agree with you! We are hoping to start a trend of water conservation through succulent gardens.

Thank you Caloes, we enjoy the garden as well.

On behalf of “Lochi” and “Nessi” I thank you very much! I just wish that they would show signs of growing…

Thank you 🙏 I’m glad you enjoyed the videos. I’m going to make a “Lessons Learned “ video someday that shows how we did certain things and some setbacks that we experienced.

Hello William, yes we live in the Inland Empire here in Southern California. My wife had the garden idea and I assisted with the planning, labor, and funding 😁. We did most of the work ourselves with a little help from my brother. Thank you for the comments. This video shows the process of how we converted our lawn to the succulent garden: m.ua-cam.com/video/xJFUDu16wiw/v-deo.html

I thought the same thing!!!!

Juan and his wife are my friends and both she and I are big Laura followers. It was quite an undertaking but it's so beautiful in person.

Thank you so much! We’re glad that you enjoyed it.

That’s a good idea! Thank you for the advice!

Thank you Juan! I could’ve waited about an hour later to film and then the water would’ve been gone. We were concerned about the drainage but it has not been a problem.

Thank you Succs and Clay! There are so many species of succulents from all over the world and we look forward to learning more about them. I’ll be sure to check out your videos.

@@JuanLopez-nt1dh they are so awesome! It also so very addictive. I’ve recently discovered Adromischus succulents and I can’t get enough of them 😝

Thank you Bobbiechinn! Wow! 49 years…you must have an amazing garden, and you must know a lot about plants. I’m tagging along with my wife whose passion is rubbing off on me. 😊

I believe so. Most of the fords use the same stereo configuration. If you want to, check out crutchfield.com and they will list your car’s compatibility. Shop around for the best price then install it yourself and save money.

Absolutely, I agree that the simple fundamentals can fool you. These are phenomena of physics which can be corrected albeit once discovered. Thank you for sharing as well!

Do you know what the name of the spiral one is? If so, please share it with me. Thanks 😊

I’m glad it helped you out! Keep riding bro!

The drain plug is tapered and does not require any dressing or Teflon. Take note of the depth that it was installed and reinstall it to the same depth. There’s no torque value for it.

Ha!Ha! You’re right…they are Nitto tires. I could have done better with the video. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, I haven’t seen a watch that looks better than this Seiko Aviator watch. I don’t know if the Seiko factory services these watches anymore?

Very cool that you have a white Corvette as well! I have a 1985 coupe. It runs good and I will drive it to cars and coffee and other events. I feel sometimes that I am a curator for these rapidly disappearing C4s. I hope that this video helps. You can check out my Corvette videos also if you like.😊

It wasn’t cheap but well worth it. I think that it was around $700.00.
