16 gauge is fine for that. Don't know I'd go to 18 though.

What amp are you installing?

Just found out there's a Cars & Coffee at the Cabela's in Lehi tomorrow at 9am to 11am. Wish I woulda known earlier... the poor thing is filthy right now. I love the spray on Meguiars, but it attracts EVERY piece of lint, dust, cotton....

Just google mapped it, and it's about 55 miles away. Leaning towards no right now.

Damn white, that's terrible. Dust yes, but that's some heavy foreign matter lol.

Ahhh, it was for the kids. I have my own 13 horse Porter Cable monster in the shed. I purchased that about 10 years for running a concrete broom lol. Very nice, just don't use it much anymore. Service it once in awhile and play around with it, that's about it. I use the little electric Ryobi all the time, it's easier lol.

Last time I got the big one out, the neighbor and I were picking off wasps on the swing-set from about 20' out with the #0 tip spray nozzle. I need to put a site on that spray gun.

I read that about the Amazon devices. Sneaky bastages. I got an Echo for free with some promotion, and it's going to someone on CL or FB Marketplace. The only reason I'd consider using it might be for "Alexa-only" specials on Prime Day, but there's nothing I've been keeping an eye on anyway.
HF use to sell pretty nice brass vac tool. Still have it. I use it with the Mighty Vac accessories. Man that Mighty Vac accessory kit has been a life saver many times. The gun, I don't use, - opt for the old HF brass gun...old reliable. I don't recall HF selling a Mighty Vac kit, - a like or copy. That most likley came after I set myself up....missed it I expect.

Haven't needed one for brakes yet, I haven't bled or flushed anything newer than the old f150 yet either...the truck is easy.

It looks like they have the brass one, Brew, and I guess the reviews are better than I first assumed (seeing 3.7/5). The low ratings might be people not knowing what they bought or how to use it correctly?

I actually have the one that you posted, Ohio. Maybe I'll try that out. I got home at about 12:30 from the car show (yep... couldn't resist going) then a Buddy stopped by. We spent a couple hours catching up. This dude is literally my first friend I ever had.... I've known him since I was about 4 years old.

Anyway.. it's hot as hell right now. And I don't need Frankie at the moment, so it can wait.

LOTS of Italian cars at the show today. My pics are uhhh.... not so great. The sun was so bright that I couldn't see my phone telling me to wipe off the lens. Here's a couple pics... in the top pic, the S550 and Terminator belong to the Youtube channel Brit 5.0 if you've ever watched them.... it used to be called Girls Dig Mustangs.

Yep, that's the one.

Been meaning to mention, - pretty sure it was you that liked that series "The Last Ship". There's another series very similar to that one that's just as good. "Sea Patrol", - it's free on Tubi. It went for 5 seasons, so yea it's good. If you haven't seen that one yet, you can here, -
