Nowadays, inflatable boats have become a common sight at almost every marina. Tied to a cleat, bouncing back and forth against the dock lazily with each passing wave, they’ve become so common they almost feel like they belong there. Also known as zodiac boats, inflatable boats are used for a wide range of outdoor activities, including fishing, rowing and everything in between. Due to the fact that they can be easily inflated and deflated, you can store them in a small space or tie them against a ship or an RV, which makes them some of the most seaworthy crafts of their size
When most people hop in their car with family or friends, they think about the destination or the activities that are awaiting them once they get where they’re headed. On your way to a restaurant, you probably think about what to eat and drink. On your way to the gym, you’re probably thinking about your routine for the day, or how you aren’t looking forward to leg-day at all. You probably don’t put a lot of thought into the car itself. Most people don’t even give their car a minute to warm up before they leave the driveway and start driving
If you’re someone who wants to venture off the beaten trail and take on challenging terrain, your factory setup 4×4 might not be able to take on everything you throw at it with its standard height. For that reason, many off-road enthusiasts opt to get 4×4 suspension upgrades to elevate their vehicles in order to make it easier to drive through rocky and bumpy terrain. This not only improves the off-road performance and functionality of your vehicle but its appearance as well
Although the braking systems that Mercedes Benz install on their vehicles are usually reliable and powerful, issues can occur as the car gets older. Regular inspection and service can extend the longevity of any braking system, and when you notice problems arising, you should look to address them as soon as possible. And while complete brake failure isn’t frequent, a loss in braking power can be quite scary when driving and it may result in an accident. The most common reason for braking power loss is the wearing down of brake pads
Can you believe that the first brake systems were wooden blocks controlled by a lever? They used to be put on steel-rimmed wheels that steam-powered vehicles featured back in late 1800s. Of course, with the introduction of rubber tyres and mechanical brakes everything about it changed, as later on, hydraulic, disc and self-adjusting brakes were introduced as well as safety features like ABS and AEB. Since brake discs came out a bit later, brake pads are considered a newer type of brake technology than brake shoes
Ahh, the thought of a nice, refreshing nap… just imagining it energises me! Well, same as us, our dogs need their daily rest, recovering the energy they lost chasing birds, cats, balls, branches, you name it. Of course, the hours of needed rest depend on a dog’s age much as in the case with people, so while the average dog requires 12 to 14 hours of sleep per day, puppies might require up to 18 or 20. The same goes for older dogs that don’t have that much energy to waste like they used to, as well as some breeds, particularly the big ones like St. Bernards. Oh yes, you read that right, it’s not just cats who are known for their looong naps. Having [&hellip
The first point of failure of smart devices is oftentimes the battery. Unfortunately, most smart devices come with a battery that has a limited lifespan, and it’s purposely made to deteriorate over time so that after a few years you’d have to buy a new one, or get a new phone or laptop altogether. The same thing applies to electronic devices of all kinds, including remote-controlled toys, radio equipment, drones, etc. Luckily though, once the stock battery of your electronic device fails, you can buy a suitable replacement that’s going to meet the specific needs of the application
Many parents today turn to computers, tablets and other electronic devices as a means to keep their kids entertained and occupied. There’s no cleanup, and kids can remain quiet for hours on end as you do the dishes, wipe the dust and even have some time for yourself. Sounds like a fairytale, right
