  1. Chicken and pizza are buy 25% more than you think you will need food. Because cold pizza chicken is great the next morning. Especially if you are eating it in your garage while drinking a cold beer after mowing the lawn.

    enjoyed having a cordless oscillating multi-tool at home... cutting up furniture and vines and shit all overgrown on my fence

    This is a fantastic price for 2 5A 20Vmax batteries and a charger.  If you have a 20vmax jgrinder, you really need these.

    If you do go airless, X5 would be my rec.  I have one of the handheld graco that has the paint cup, and cleaning is a fucking pain.  So much so that basically everything that isn't a big job I just roll or brush.  But the big jobs require refilling the cup constantly.  Go big or go home.

     

    Anybody got experience using an airless sprayer with oil based and dealing with the clean up?  I've got some 20' containers and a building that need painting and I would like to use enamel but I'm not sure about the cleanup.

    YouTube + Hogs + Tannerite will take you down a long, and glorious rabbit hole of one awesome video after another.  Same with Hogs & helicopter hunts.  

    A tannerite/hog video was posted on the shit snow cone site and people posted in the thread bitching about it.

  5. If the old jack is completely shit, use a good sharp pair of diagnal cutters to trim the connector portion away leaving the leg in the thru hole.  Then take a set of hemostats clipped to the component side of the jackleg and heat the bottom side of the thruhole until the solder flows and pull lead away.  Use solder braid or soldapult to remove solder from thruhole.  Repeat for all legs of component.  Install new component and resolder.

    I used to rebuild a lot of damaged intrumentation products that used old 8051 series microcontrollers in 40 pin dips that were direct soldered to board and not in a socket.  First thing was to take the dikes and cut away the body of the IC.

     

  6. Thinking about a new gas 12 gauge.   Beretta A400 Xplor or Fabarms LS4 Hunter?  Mainly for upland/dove and clays and when one of my kids tag along on a duck hunt.

  7. Mother in law is up visiting for the weekend. She parked behind my truck.   Wife decides she and her mom will go visit my daughter after lunch and go shopping, my driving age son and I will hang out here and watch football.  Instead of taking her moms car, she takes ours out of the garage, along with her moms keys, leaving my boy and I here with two vehicles we can’t use.
    i didn’t need to go anywhere but it’s the principle of the thing.  



    I say this is on you for not training your wife and MIL on where to park when MIL comes to your house. This falls under the heading: Scene Control.

    Years ago, when my gramps died, we went through his desk (which I have in my upstairs study. Fucker weighs over 200 pounds (desk not gramps). It was a bitch getting it up the stairs). Anyway, I found a foot high stack of old National Geographic maps in a bottom drawer. i kept them for years. Still have a few of my favorites in a bottom drawer. I'll still pull one out and beat off to it on occasion.

    Like grandfather, like grandson?

  9. Speaking of dozers,  anyone got source for an equipment mechanic that has experience working on a JD 350C dozer?    

    This is my dads old dozer, a 1977 350C, 6 way blade, with 1350 hrs that has sat 10 years with engine periodically run. Last time dozer ran, dozer stopped moving in F and would only move with reverser in R.   Engine starts and runs good, hyd system is good except for a few hoses, has new sprockets and pins and bushings. Rest of U/C looks good and no cracks in frame or supports. Could use a little paint and new seat but mechanically in pretty good shape.

    I started messing with it recently and it looks like one of the reverser clutches has seized up.    Its a great little machine for brush clearing and light dirt work and I would like to get it back up running.  Its about an hour south of Dallas.

  10. Was there someone on TOS that has the blog The Analog Kid which posts rips of old b sides and deep album cuts?  I ran across the site recently again and thought is was someone from there or was a site that someone had posted about.  Lots of great music on that blog.
