Lucky, my fruit has just started setting, but it’s also not looking like a good year. Heat wave during the start and it’s been only 6c a few times the last couple weeks and they don’t like that.

The downside is, can be easier to hydrolock your engine in some cases.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Drying my truck intake filter.1·6 days agoUp to you, I’ve done it to most of my vehicles, even if it’s just a washable filter without the cold air system.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Drying my truck intake filter.1·6 days agoWell you do need to throw the original airbox out to install this one!
They do make replace my filters for most vehicles, not just for cold air intakes.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldOPto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Drying my truck intake filter.3·7 days agoIt has to be a washable one. This cold air can have a washable cotton one, or a disposable paper.
The oil is the last layer to the filter. The mesh catches the big stuff, the cotton catches the finer stuff, and the oil catches the rest.
It goes on red (blue is another color) and when you can no longer see red, time to wash it. You wash it and it becomes white again.
I got about 50k km with this one, could have gone more, but just the time to do it. Million mile warranty on the filter too.
I even change my cabin air filters to washable, they even have Washable house ones too!

Better fuel efficiency, more power, more response.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.worldto Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? July 221·10 days agoI’m currently reading Star Wars Allegiance
It’s my goal to read all of the Legends or Expanded Universe books in Star Wars, I’m currently over a third done, there’s about 120 books and this is around #44 iirc.
I alternate between a Star Wars and another book when done, my current “other book” is Asimovs universe, I’ve read the Foundation Series and am onto the Robots saga and the fourth Robots and Empire
Anything by Timothy Zahn is solid, especially the original legends Thrawn trilogy.
It’s hard to recommend since there’s so much that covers different eras and genres. You got spy books, horror stories, cops, smugglers, cartels, etc.
Find an era you like, pick a genre, and go? Some arcs are like 10 books though, the X-wing series being one of them iirc, but that’s in the last era so I’m no where close to reading them yet. As I’m reading them in “chronological order” from The Old Republic, where you have great sith lore like Bane and his rule of two, I’m currently between episode 4 and 5 for my current place.
The current Timothy Zahn books I’m reading are essentially a direct sequel with Luke and Han and some storm troopers right after Death Star one destruction.
