So... i cant just pile my guns into the freedom wagon anymore? :(
I thought this was america.
Ahh I've seen this before, it's quite an easy fix. It's understandable that a rookie like you wouldn't know what to do.
Just follow these easy steps.
Hope this all works for you! Best of luck brethren
Hi, I run a business called ShakeproofLA and what I do is set people up to get ready for The Big One.
To set the stage, you have to understand that Los Angeles has, historically, had a major earthquake every 100 years, but right now we haven't a big one since 1857 when a 7.9 struck Fort Tejon.
So, add that extra 60 years to the amount of tectonic pressure that will be released when it finally does happen.
Now, what I'm going to say will scare the shit out of people, but here it is: When the next major quake hits LA it will be a major, major catastrophe. Thousands of people will die and the damage will be counted in the tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars.
The water mains will break. The highways will crumble. The gas lines will erupt and fires will break out all over the place. It's estimated, worst case scenario, that 1/3 of the city will burn down, partially due to the broken water mains. If the earthquake is during a heatwave, those problems will be compounded.
The dust and smoke and pollutants (asbestos, etc) thrown up by the quake will cause further health problems down the line as well.
Downtown, all the glass in the buildings will break and fall. Except glass doesn't fall straight down, it floats down like a leaf, meaning that it will be thousands of razor blades slicing across the street. The fire department thinks there will be up to 10 feet of broken glass in the streets afterwards. Moreover, some 1/3 of the buildings in downtown could collapse, including many of the skyscrapers which were build using flawed construction techniques, during the 60's and 70's and 80's. Many of those same buildings are packed with asbestos, much like the World Trade center.
Scary AF, right? Well, I have a motto: "It's absolutely going to happen, so don't worry." All you can do it get prepared.
As the freeways will be out, there's basically going to be no leaving town. More likely than not, you will have to shelter in place. That being the case, you will need supplies.
Here's a list of ABSOLUTE NECESSITIES for you to have on hand. It's only a few hundred bucks and it very well could be the difference between life and death.
What I have listed are only suggestions and I'm not endorsing any particular brand over another. If you find something that does the same job for cheaper, great.
Food
Have at least 2 weeks supply of food above and beyond what is kept in the freezer and/or pantry. Below are some options, but feel free to search around and find the best price/amount for you and your family
Food Option 1
Food Option 2
Food Option 3
Radios
Emergency Radios are a must-have and the wind-up type, with a flashlight cover multiple bases at once.
Radio Option 1
Radio Option 2
Water
These jugs are available at any local Home Depot and will last for 5 years in storage. Do not store on concrete floors at it will leech, instead store on wood, cardboard or carpet only. You want one jug per person per week. Additionally, if you have a hot water heater, wait until it cools and use that. Be aware that the first water that comes out will be mostly mineral silt, so be sure to run it through a coffee filter.

If you have an outdoor grill, great. That's your cooking platform. Make sure you have extra propane. If not, get a camp stove.

Honey Buckets

First Aid Kit
DUST MASKS
I can't emphasize enough for people to buy these. N95 is the standard you want, as it will filter most pollutants. Buy these and don't get mesothelioma later in life.
Towelettes
Power Station
And the list continues. Have a car kit ready, consisting of water (I like VOSS water, as it's in glass, a couple Clif bars, a hat, sunblock, and old pair of walking sneakers and a space blanket. And dust masks. Don't forget those.
Fill out a FEMA Emergency Plan. and you'll really know where to go and who to contact in an emergency.
And that's the basics. Two weeks of survival supplies and FEMA will be on the scene, hopefully and roads will be open enough to get out of dodge.
Another good idea is to strap your furniture and TV to the walls, into the studs. I'd provide a guide, but that's my job, y'all.
Jack and move?

Amazon, of course! I actually emailed the company and 405 lb are the strongest they make :(
Is that your piss/poop bucket behind your PC/Tower? It looks to be of decent quality but you can make a upgrade imo. I bought this baby and never looked back. Great addition to my incel cave. I can stay in my room for like a week without having to throw out the waste. You should look into it.
Not OP, but some Google-fu: https://www.amazon.com/Brute-Magnetics-Neodymium-Countersunk-Diameter/dp/B01LYU81DB
well i first wanna thank TheMagistrate he made this post about this a month ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Steelbooks/comments/9qjdb0/about_13rd_of_my_collection_running_out_of_wall/
ive been using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GQ048EQ/
using this i have been cutting it in 5 x 4.75 squares and you can get 55 out of each roll that way. i also feel like you could get away with making them smaller. I however personally feel that they are going to be more secure the way i did it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YVJ1XW/ and i use about 5 of these to mount them on the wall.
I'm more likely to leave most anything lying around versus putting it back in a box, especially if it's a high-quantity cheap thing like bobby pins. As a result they're just everywhere. If all I had to do was hold up the 5 I used that day to a magnetic strip on the wall/inside of the medicine cabinet that I have to open anyway, I'd be more likely to "put them away".
For some reason I can't be bothered to open/close an altoids tin for them and it looks more untidy (for me) to just leave one open with things spilling out of it. There are all-acrylic transparent cosmetics drawers available but unless I'm at Goodwill they cost more than I'm willing to spend.
If you're into sticking just about everything onto magnetic surfaces (spices on the inside of cupboard doors, memos + magnets on a strip by the front door, upright office inbox things on the side of the fridge next to the sink for dish brushes, medicine reminder boxes on the wall next to the bed) then it's more economical to buy a pack/long strip of them for $15 like this versus some specialty things like results for "cosmetics drawer organizer".
You can use things like tackle boxes or probably come up with all kinds of alternatives but if we assume that I'm not very clever or creative or punctual or organized then this is a neat-but-not-life-changing tip.
Edit: Also I know I gave you amazon links but honestly I'm in a weird living situation where my elderly Chinese landlady gets my packages delivered to her front door since UPS/USPS can't or won't deliver to my backyard apartment and I feel really rude/intrusive having her need to be a middleman for dumb little packages, like $4 adhesive cable clips or heavy things like a vertical bike rack, so I don't like to order things that frequently despite having prime. So while some of the organizers are $12 on amazon, they're often marked up 160% at physical stores that might not price-match. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's super easy!
Just take two of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071YVJ1XW/
Cut a 3"x3" square out of this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GQ048EQ/
Stick the adhesive strips to the magnetic square, then to the wall!
​
Measuring out spacing on the wall was the hardest part. I'm able to mount almost 100 steelbooks for about $35.
No need for a chain. use this
if this is a common problem get a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003W0F33O/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=2972357942&pd_rd_wg=GH1F1&pf_rd_r=5B6V402C319QEFT49CKC&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-bottom-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B003W0F33O&pd_rd_w=XNfsN&pf_rd_i=car+wheel+skate&pd_rd_r=B9FS8X3X491RXZ3ZA380&ie=UTF8&qid=1500773830&sr=1

Roll their shitbox out of your spot and then call SFS for a car being left in the middle of the road.
How about this?
If you google brute magnets, you’ll find what I believe is their 880 pound pull magnet. IMO it’s one of the best for the price and really good quality!

I bought a laser cutter and the stipulation was that I must have excellent fume control if I were to get one put in the warehouse. I didn't want to pay the crazy costs of a fume extractor. So, over the weekend I designed and cut this one instead. Here are all the parts necessary if anybody is interested in the costs. I chose very expensive filters - almost the most expensive I could find - and still came in way under the cost of a typical fume extractor:
(1) 8' x 4' X 1/4" Sheet Baltic Birch - $30
(1) 3-set medical grade air filters with pre-filter, activated carbon, and hyper hepa filter - $290
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019NOUBYS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(1) 10lbs of Activated Carbon - $25

(1) 8 " Inline Fan - $80
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DXYMM2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(1) Wood Glue - $5
(1) Super Glue - $1
(1) 25' Duct - $30
(2) 8" Duct Starters - $8
(1) 8" x 4" Reducer - $8
(LOTS) of Clamps
Total Cost $477
So I'm ready to finish the assembly, but now I want to engrave something funny or cool on the door. Any good ideas?

Get a magnet sheet. You can find it stationery shops, it was €5 for 5 here, standard A4 format.
Cut it out (measure the are you want to cover ofc) and use some regular stockings/pantyhose as the filter. Tape it to the magnet sheet... and that's it.
Alternatively you can buy magnetic tape at DIY store. Like this one
https://www.amazon.com/XFasten-Flexible-Magnetic-1-Inch-10-Foot/dp/B01HR3J3CI
It's like regular tape but the non-sticky side is magnet. You can make a square out from the tape and put the stockings on it and then cover it (the tape side) with some regular tape. Or with another layer of magnetic tape. Then you have magnet on both side tho it doesn't really matter imo.

Personal experience here -- the iPower 4 inch filter / inline fan combo didn't work very well at all for me. My entire garage smelled like herb.

Asked for advice regarding a car cover here a while back for my P7B (with spotlight). I was having trouble finding a car cover that was advertised to be long enough to fit my vic. Ended up going with this OxGord 2XL car cover for $75. It's big enough for the vic and the quality is also excellent for a sub $100 car cover. Only been using it for a little under a month, no issues yet. The cover only has 3 tie down points, two on the side and one in the front, so I had to add some extra straps, I will also link to those if anyone is interested.

Now to address the "why are you wasting your time covering up a CV". Well I bought this and got it painted at Maaco. A few weeks later I was given a 2007 4Runner from my grandparents and am driving that instead of the CV (Still love the CV). I am saving the CV for my sister who can drive in two years, so to keeps this cheap maaco paint job in tact I am covering it up for her until then.

If you aren’t planning on getting a bigger tent I would stick with a 4” exhaust and a 4”/6” carbon filter. Here’s the link for the fan and one for the filter . I use a bigger fan and filter personally, but that’s because I plan on getting a bigger tent after my third or fourth grow. Based on the dimensions of your tent this should be a solid setup for you even if you go up a bit in the future.
You could probably use a set of these
I'm personally a big fan of the Hydrofarm HG5G, but any food grade bucket in the 3-5 gallon range does the trick.
Sure. The easy way to see how it's done is to google DIY door frame pull up bar, which ALERT contains one photo of a totally naked woman doing a pull up. You can look at the images to see how others did it, and if you click on one of them, google gives you the option to go to the Web page the image is on, which will give you DIY instructions. Some people use pipes, some wood frames, and some give directions on mounting the bar on wooden posts in the yard. One shows the pipes mounted on a ceiling in a garage. Lots of better illustrations than I could give.
Assisted pull ups can be done without bungee cords if you make your own TRX setup with your door frame pull up bar. Use straps long enough to reach the floor and sturdy enough to support your weight. Lay on your back and pull yourself up on a strap. Look at the TRX website for ideas. Use your body weight as resistance until you can do a full vertical pull up.
You don't need TRX straps a $200; I've bought comparable straps on Amazon where they're called nylon lashing straps or securing straps. Some have buckles, some have velcro, some have plastic snapping latches. Get a couple that will support your weight with some adjustable closure system (metal buckles that catch on the nylon anywhere on its length, for example).
If you prefer bungee cords, buy two that will support your weight long enough to reach the floor from your bar, with some additional length to let you attach the cord to the bar and then to a plank. Drill holes in the plank (short enough to fit in the door, long enough to stand on, put the cords through the holes and secure. This will take some experimenting. Make the cords short enough the plank isn't on the floor when you're not on it, but long enough it touches when you are on it. Use cords that will give you enough boost to let you lift yourself with effort but not enough to launch you. :-> Using multiple cords will let you adjust their resistance without having to buy a new ones every time you gain strength -- just remove one to lower their lifting power.
You might find it simpler using a TRX approach than bungees. Note that Target sells a door frame pull up bar for under thirty bucks with bonus ab straps. :-> Instructions on hanging it (notice the crack in the wall above the frame). Notice she uses a chair and gives herself a boost with one leg instead of using counterweights or bungees (but take your leg off the chair when you're up and let yourself down slowly -- see [here]9https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=W_vw0P8EVwQ#t=138). I wonder if those artworks above the fireplace are body molds of her?
So figure out what works for you. Whether it's the counterweight system with weights you already have or a Target pull up bar or a set of pipes you put together yourself, have fun.
I can step in and answer a few on from my own tent.

Put static straps on your car. They don't seem like much but ive had several puppies over the years, one particular one that was able to travel for hours without any issues in the truck but couldn't travel in the car for more than 15 minutes without getting sick. The difference between the two vehicles was the truck had static straps.
They aren't very expensive and even though I can't guarantee they will do anything to help with your cats, (i don't travel often with mine) if they do help they will make their trip more comfortable for all of you.
static straps I'm sure you can get them at any automotive place.
I use primal horizon - I have seen it in multiple shops. Package looks like link below (comes in several sizes). It's really simple - buy a drill bit of the same size (primal horizon sells those too) and stick the magnet in there. Biggest thing is don't glue them the wrong way around - easy to avoid by leaving them stacked while you work.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TGDMPDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TdBzCb19J0546
I'm looking at these which are a nice size, bigger than a quarter. They seem pretty powerful, so I'm thinking I may not need to drill into the bottom and there might be other ways of disguising the tiles.
I may also scrap the tile-search part and just have the puzzle be more focused on finding the board + planchette and then decoding the message.
Put your hand on the door before you step out or add a Ground Strap

I put 4 squares in each corner, it holds pretty well. Haven't had one fall yet.
If your house has conditioned air, you might be able to draw off of that to cool your cabinet in the attic. A small cabinet can be cooled by a 4" line and a real exhaust fan. Install a bathroom fan style ceiling grate in an out of the way place (spare bedroom closet?) and no one will know what's up there. Just, uhh, don't pull from the bathroom... Not only would you suck bathroom smells into the tent, but if your bathroom fan is powerful enough and the door is shut, it could conceivably pull air from the tent into the bathroom 😬
Look for a fan that can do in the neighbourhood of 200cfm, preferably with a speed controller. I have this Vivosun one: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01DXYMGOM but if you're not on a budget, this one would be excellent: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B06ZXWN3BG
Avoid the super cheap "booster" fans, they're only useful as an add-on in the middle of a long run.
No, they're clearly not a block heater cable. They're it's a 1 inch wide cord (cable w/e) that drags along the road to "ground" your car to stop from getting zapped in dry weather, I just wasn't sure if they actually worked. And it seems they complete bullshit as posted by another redditor.
like this
At least one reviewer used this on her wheelchair and it worked to prevent shocks:

I noticed you didn't use any latch for keeping the lid closed. I like the nice clean look, and a couple magnets set in can make a great "latch." I used something like this in the past. Drilled holes to fit and CA glued them in.
Sucks about the wood movement, but good job overall :)
I don't smell my plants with my 4x4 closed. So the same thing should apply for you. Since you are venting outside you should be fine. It may be an light odor in the room. But it shouldn;t smell up the whole room until you open the tent.
This is the best on teh market. https://www.amazon.com/AC-Infinity-CLOUDLINE-S6-Controller/dp/B07FPFVZTZ/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=ac+infinity&qid=1554815892&s=gateway&sr=8-6 There one with a humidity control as well.

Not complex at all. When I used this system I'd put a couple of these:
https://www.campmor.com/c/seattle-sports-14-inch-deluxe-kayak-replacement-blocks-pair-58613
on the boat - one in front and one in back - and bungie them to the boat. Then put the whole thing on the roof, and use two camstraps - https://www.amazon.com/CARTMAN-Lashing-Straps-600lbs-Carry/dp/B017902W8G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1525876929&sr=8-3&keywords=cam+straps&dpID=51vBDO3xI0L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch - to secure it to the roof. Note that without having side rails on your roof you'll have to open the doors and run the camstraps through the inside of the vehicle and back out the opposite door. If you want to feel REALLY secure, put a bow line from the front of the boat to somewhere on the underside of the front of the car, like the bottom of the bumper bracket.
If you're having trouble getting the boat on the roof, try putting a big towel on the roof hanging over the back of the car. Lean the kayak up against the towel, and use it to protect your car as you push it up onto the roof. Then stow the towel and get the camstraps attached.
My wife and I hauled two 14 foot kayaks from Ohio to Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota with no problems using this method.
Good luck.
Thanks for the post. I have seen a few of these before, but this one motivated me to finally order everything. I have been wondering what I was going to do this summer. Currently my rigs costs me about $8.50 a day in electricity, but saves me about $5 a day since it is literally heating my entire house.
@ .12 kwh the fan at full speed costs $.55 a day. I ordered a bigger tent and 2 of the fans. Hopefully I can run them at some lower percentage (they come with controllers).
This is what I ordered:
I got them from Rockler, they work great.
I've been using 1/8" for everything for a super secure connection that I can paint over without weakening. Same company though as I feel their magnets find a good compromise between strength and size.
Lawn and garden carts with pneumatic tires. Like this:

I'm new too, but this is the one I got.

I've used it in a river and two lakes so far, and it seems to work.
Like these!
Simple straps, just with some buckles. They cinch down easily. Just have to tuck in the loose ends. Keep one or two packed in an upper pouch in case you've got to strap down a bed roll or something quickly.
i bought one of these and it is just a touch underpowered to pull the cap off. It can more times than not. I'd say 70% of the time the cap comes off. Maybe a slightly stronger magnet will do it. I just don't want the cap to basically be stuck to the magnet.
See if you can rent 4 of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000UAGDTC/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_60_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4H5S16244JGXTE3QS0K1
That thing will weight around 4500 lbs, so make sure yours are beefy enough and you want help from friends.
And bill him.
> 6" Vivosun fan at 390 cfm
Are you using this fan: https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Inline-Variable-Controller-Ventilation/dp/B01DXYMJ94
It says "Max Ambient Temp is 113℉ / 45℃" I assume your tent is always above that temp. Do you have any issues?
This is the magnet I used for the same style of display. rated to hold ~33lbs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0181LX5Q0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_OdB4Ab5NX3NSM
I just bought Ozark Straps, with quick release buckles. 4 pieces with a length of 2.5m each. Cost about 8$/€.
https://www.amazon.com/Ozark-Trail-TT-57-Xi-26-D-Quick-Release/dp/B01ATL97U8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ozark+strap&qid=1563061928&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I felt this was a much better deal than the 2 x sea to summit strap (1.5m). Its longer and more flexible.
Cant say anything about durability yet, but hey its 8€. Just read the reviews to form an opinion yourself.
I bought it to strap my backpack and eventually additional stuff on top of my rear rack.
Get a lugguage strap, strap it tight and wrap the slack with electrical tape where it overlaps (more than one location to keep it from moving too much and rips it off by itself, sign your name on the tape with silver sharpie.
Edit: Here is one I recommend, as I realized a lot of these straps have clip locks
Here is a pic of my setup
The filter and in line Fan I use together cost about $100. To connect it I 3d printed this part and super glued it to the back vent and put some sealer on. You could just buy a connecter tho.
Altogether about $600
$450 for the printer
$100 for the filter
And those minis only cost $20-30 in resin to print.I’ve printed other stuff som I’m not exactly sure.
And a bulk IPA pack for $20
This isn’t necessary but I also got an Ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning the prints when they are done.
Get a tool belt. Get a 5 gallon bucket. Strap the belt around the bucket. Store small tools in the belt and crafting supplies in the bucket.
I don't think that you can buy just the bare magnetic holder, but just a simple neodymium magnet bar would do the trick. Add a little insulation on the remote side so that the remote comes off the magnet rather than the whole thing lifting off the surface.
So I made this thread recently about a clone I bought on 4/20/19.
​
Now, a bit of time has passed and it's grown a bit more, but unfortunately still under very inadequate lighting. The temp and humidity were wrong this entire time, but I seem to have stabilized that. I plan on ordering this grow tent, just ordered this LED light, and am looking at this (or this) in combination with this to bring it all together. Anyone see any reason why this wouldn't be enough?
I'm currently using their inline fan (VIVOSUN 4 Inch 190 CFM Inline Duct Fan with Variable Speed Controller for Ventilation https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01DXYMGOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5ihjDb9NQHYHD)
Anyone know if this is something I should replace too? Still under return period.

Yea my thermometer is facing direct light on soil level.
I’ll crank it up and see hat happens.
Thanks
Thank you. I do move around quite a bit, and slide off the mat. I bought these straps on amazon, and just strap the 2 mats together, but it's extra weight:

I think they are pretty standard magnets. You need the “super magnets / rare earth magnets” that have a chrome look.
They are rates by pull per lbs.
I have not yet tested this on my 3. When I do, I will try to put the magnets inside the front license place holder that came with the car and inside the bumper. I would suggest lining the license plate holder with felt.
Here’s as example. There are stronger magnets than this on Amazon.

I’ll have my car back from the shop next week. Maybe this will be my first DIY project and I’ll post something on reddit.
Maybe try a few of of these Neodymium magnets with command strips
If you want a more elegant solution, and have a steel case, use this: https://www.amazon.com/XFasten-Flexible-Strong-Magnetic-10-Foot/dp/B01HR3J3CI/
It probably has tires with a higher silica content vs using carbon black. This is especially common in low rolling resistance tires but others can have it too. This isolates the car from the ground more (contrary to popular belief, tires don't actually fully insulate the car electrically) and then when you step out it discharges through you. Short of replacing the tires you could get one of those anti static ground straps like this and attach it under the car.
I’d go with this at the smallest

I have one size down for my 40w epilog and would like a bit more flow. Of course my run is not efficient so I will see how I feel after fixing that.
You can never have too much exhaust flow IMO
So.... those magnets would work just fine in city driving. Just keep it off the interstate, unless you go for the jumbo magnets.
Alllll over the kitchen
Would they be better than these? I am usually wary about buying things that don't have reviews on Amazon. Is a ratchet strap better than the latching strap? Cost isn't really a concern as I plan to use these for future projects.
You could get a Timbuk2 Spire and add some quick release straps to the outside

It's a bit pricey, but there's also something like http://www.amazon.com/Rockler-Workbench-Caster-Kit-Pack/dp/B005W0UWCY - casters that flip up when you're not using them so that the table rests fully on the ground

Get a grow tent , an inline fan and 8-inch flexible ducting . Put the fan in the uppermost part of the tent so it evacuates hot air, then stick the ducting so it blows out the window. Problem solved!
I use these to attach batteries and electronics to decks when I don't want to drill holes and I want to be able to swap fast. It works. Remember to fasten it so it does not slide to the top or back.
I just went through getting the temperature down in a dining room / sun room at one of my vacation rentals. In my case the room stayed up to 15 degrees (fahrenheit) hotter than the rest of the house during the summer. It has 9 windows or glass doors facing southwest / southeast, which in Texas makes for a pretty significant solar load.
I changed three things: One was to put in reflective insulated mylar sheeting above the room - that was good for at least 7 degrees. I highly recommend this as a first step if you can fit it in your space.
The second was to alter the AC ducting by installing a variable output high capacity inline duct fan into one of the ducts feeding the room. This fan runs continuously, boosting the amount of air that comes into the room when the AC is running, and when the AC is idle there's still output from that vent as it pulls a bit of air from all the other rooms. Made a 3 to 4 degree improvement.
The last change was to install white cellular blinds from Ikea on all the windows and doors. When pulled down halfway they keep the room 1 to 2 degrees cooler and when pulled down all the way they keep the room 2 to 3 degrees cooler. EDIT: We actually used those in a different room. In the sunroom we used a lighter colored model of these blinds. Had we used the cellular blinds we'd have probably gotten another degree improvement.
All of these changes are relatively inexpensive and the net result is a room that's within a couple of degrees of the rest of the house.

Worked for me, not like that jacked up JC Penny sale for womens swim wear half off. False advertising that day. gp
I've seen this one recommended a few times but I haven't bought it yet (I don't reach for my magnetics very often so I just haven't gotten around to it). This one is supposed to be strong enough that you can just lay your finger over the magnet and then paint each coat...no hovering necessary!
these. They worked great for this application and they are priced pretty well.
I've been rolling with this bag for a few weeks now:
https://www.vikingbags.com/cruise-cordura-black-motorcycle-seat-luggage-1452-prd1.htm?
I've gotta say, it's pretty awesome. It is absolutely huge. When I get to work all of my gear is easily stored in there, with room to spare. Padded leather coat, chaps, helmet, gloves (gauntlets and standard), glasses,etc. Plus I always have a full change of clothes, 5 bottles of water, my jump box, rain gear, rain cover for the bag, and a ton of miscellaneous small items.
Loads of mounting options, including a strap that goes over a backrest if you want to mount on a luggage rack behind your sissy bar/seat back. I just strap mine on my back seat - no luggage rack or or anything. They have a strap system that goes under your seat. I didn't like the way the mounting system looked when I left it on the bike (every day) and took the bag inside with me so I just bought these straps:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017902W8G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use 6 of those straps (cut to length) and just loop them around my struts. Works great, doesn't move in an inch and I use the backpad. Takes about 2 minutes to mount it, 1 to remove it, no permanent attachments or anything unsightly. Also works as a fantastic backrest. For ~$150, it's hard to beat.
I've got a tip for you on the NCG thing. My BiL and I prefer to go to the Marietta one due to cost and how close it is. We both have bigger upper bodies and so end up laying down because of those seats.
After a few experiments, we ended up getting these. We get there early enough and then just wrap them around the base of the armrests, behind the seat. Then we just tighten them to how far back we want the seat to go. It's made going there 10x better.
I just started this year. But I like this magnet: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01JK20IR8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
And this rope (it comes with a carabiner): https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PTTJR9S?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
So the total is right around $50ish.
