Just wondering why so many "news" casts sound like a "cheap" war movie? Wooshing and blasting, scraping and blang/clang racket going on with about every fourth~fifth sentence spoken. Then there's a weather channel that often sounds like an explosion when they change topics. I finally just gave...

I hope Dave's not stuck with atrium. It's always a constant pass the message game when dealing with them. I've kept notes of who I spoke to and the time of day, etc. And they will still deny having any knowledge of said phone calls. Even when they do some of the things I called about...

That row of round bales triggered an old memory of some of us, as kids, trying to make an "iglo" in the open sided hay barn, using square bales. A bit clumsy, but when you're 12-13, it was kinda fun in 15~20F weather. But we got to stay out all night though.

Looks like you're getting the grind to go from the tooth outer corner, right into the middle of the inside radius of the tooth. The few times I tried with a hand file, getting that well placed angle, meant that the file was also notching the side plates. Close to the rivets. Everything is...

EFSM. I smoothed out the sharp corners underneath the transfer caps and put a small bit of a "notch" in the transfer (4 port) most opposite of the exhaust. Trying to direct a little bit of sweep up across the combustion chamber and towards ex port. Base gasket omitted too. Please Forgive the...

Should I admit to having put muffler screws on a hot stove element, before screwing them in? Yes pliers and a couple of room temp practice runs were involved. It was for an adapter plate. Screws were countersunk, into the plate to hold it onto the engine and then the (larger) muffler was bolted...

Speaking of the Snackies, Has anyone heard how the guy is getting on? Wasn't his name Scott something truck model? sorry if I'm messing it up badly. my memory isn't as sharp as it once was.

Guys, I've never laid hands on the saw in question. I Probably never will. But please allow me a moment to grumble off some of why I have my feelings about Proprietary parts. Run into these things on Friday or Saturday repairs and it gets a bit more frustraing when you find out the only...

Does the heating element just feed strait from the source coil? When switched on. How many watts is the heat draw with a cold element? I could imagine that putting juussssst enough drag to be a factor in a cold weather start. Typically heating elements have a lower resistance when cold i.e...

How does it sound? Does it knock a bit of the sharp crack off of the exhaust pulse?

Change the first "a" to an "I" in the username?

Lathe accidents? Been thirty odd years. A guy had a conveyor roller shaft set up in a lathe. The shaft was too big to fit inside the headstock hole, so it was chucked and the other end was running in a steady rest. I think the operator leaned to look at the tool point condition, still on the...

That Ammo left sitting on Czed's tires. You delivery guys arent required to get a signature on goodies like that?

Per Davidwyby: How many saws before you start forgetting which came from where etc? I've hit that point with life in general now. I have some things stored in a couple of locations. (yeah, I do...
