Any guesses how this happened?
Something about deckhands are mouth breathers? What do I win?
 
Lol is that the same coord the retards refuse to hang up on your hanger?
Nope. 1 berth over
Something about deckhands are mouth breathers? What do I win?
Yes. It was too easy of a question to warrant a prize.
I laughed as soon as I saw the picture and who posted it.
Not surprised
Co worker got the boat ready to go, main engines running, pumps primed, ventilation, on ship power. Left shore power cord connected to the boat because it’s a 2 person job pulling over the bow across the water. I wasn’t around. Later that day, deckhands untied the lines and captain backed out. My boss heard the connector hit the bow railing 200’ away inside his office. I’m going to look for a dent tomorrow.
 
Someone recently took the time to do one up on our company letterhead. Site super thought it was hilarious, and said to make sure it was hidden when the project management types came around...but keep it, in case we need it
That would be awesome….and may just have to happen here
 
but y tho
Took my $60 and gave me nothing in return. Didn't come close to winning anything and had zero fun. Would have been a different story if the damn games had let me win at least some to achieve that "thrill" of gambling....but nope.

Maybe a good thing though. :laughing:

Sucker:flipoff2:

Couple years back,went to a car show in Solvang(tourist trap "DanishTown").Just out of town is Chumash Casino.Wife likes gambling,I don't.Rolled in with some friends,got one of their player cards,and $50.00 free play.Went over to the penny slots,gave most of it back.Last pull,machine starts flashing,bells go off,hot damn won something.
By the time the dust settled,I wound up with $300.00.Wife,sitting next to me,puts a $20.00 in,a few pulls in hits for $600.00.The drive home wasn't unpleasant.:smokin:
 
so after I solved the neighborhood feral cat problem this family of bunnies moved into my yard. Been here for like three years now.

This year there were many bunnies.
They just do whatever they want without fear because i think they've figured out that I kill everything else in the yard.
Little bastard just sat there looking at his kingdom for 20 minutes.

What was your solution to the feral cat problem? I am about ready to blast them with the 12 gauge but i have been told that is a bad idea in suburbia

a 22 rifle and 40gr subsonic ammo.

I asked a police friend what would happen if someone called them about it, he basically told me that unless he saw it, there wasn't really shit they could do. Hearsay as it were.
So I got busy and kept my mouth shut.

I always shoot from the second story down, always aware of my backstop.
I'm 20ish cats deep into problem solving and no round has ever left my yard, so fuck'em. The first summer I took 13.

and now we have birds and bunnies instead of feral cats people feed from their porch that shit in the landscaping.

edit:
if you cut two coils off a marlin model 60 recoil spring they'll cycle subsonics without issue.
 
Call me what you will, I don't care for 99% of it, but this...this isn't half bad:

(the actual video is lame)



 
New shoes for the Bimmer showed up today. Hopefully thats the last piece of the puzzle before we head out for the UTBDR.

Just had to explain over the phone to my girlfriend, whose skill set equates to 20 years of proofreading political correspondence, how to use a hacksaw to cut a ¼" steel mesh tree guard away from the goat that had it's head stuck through it.

She had about 5 minutes to spare before the kids needed to be at the school bus stop and managed to get it done!

that's just what casinos do
like government or insurance companies
the money to keep the lights on has gotta come from somewhere
 
just took apart a propane tank valve that looked like ancient trash, was gonna see if it was the kind with o-rings in the stem or a diaphragm
got a shitton of the ones with the diaphragm that need new diaphragms, the o-ring ones are easy, just stuff a new o-ring in, wire brush everything and away you go
I see mcmaster has new diaphragm rubber which is frickin' neat

anyways back to this ancient valve, it's a kero(something) and its got this wierdass inside out packing nut where the male threads are on the valve's body
only took it off the tank because it was wierd and crusty looking, didn't leak but I didn't trust it to not start what with how every single ancient 100lber seems to leak from the stem, sometimes even when backseated.

Take the nut off and what's in there but a stainless steel diaphragm. Fucking genius! That thing's at least from the '50s if not older and it'll prolly go another 80 years without needing to be looked at.

What's your route to Moab, doing the Lockhart basin route? Was never impressed with Valley of the Gods. For a alternative route off the res I'd look into heading north from Mexican Hat to the dugway to Natural Bridges then over Bears Ears into Beef Basin Bobby's hole to elephant hill then to lockhart or beef basin to newspaper rock on to Lockhart basin.
 
I mentioned the picture thread that I was in Ocean City. On Monday I tripped on some camouflaged ninja concrete riser and grabbed a fence pole to stop my fall. Shoulder did the snap crackle pop in the process and been hurting in all kinds of ways. I got tired of it yesterday and asked the gf to yank it hard and it popped as she did it. Feel a shit ton better and got me thinking it was dislocated or something for three days. :homer:

We are actually going to start just north of moab, run to the N end, then loop back down to moab and run the bottom N to S. Dad has his eyes set on Lockhardt but I don't think it's going to happen on our big bikes, especially N-S.

If you have recommendations N-S from moab towards ABQ I'm all ears! Thanks!
 
Dishwasher wasn’t working at all yesterday. Searched YouTube and watched one video that had a way to test the circuit board if the fuse was still good. One step was check power. Should have 120v. I only had 90v. Pulled the cover on the power cord input under the dishwasher and found this

Anyone have any tips for upholstering a headliner? I wanna do a custom headliner. Mine is mostly falling off. Should I remove the fabric and put my new fabric on the foam with adhesive or should I get a junkyard headliner that isn't falling and apply my fabric over that?

I've done them and had really good success, one thing I'll tell you though is to make sure you get every microscopic particle of the old foam shit off the hardboard otherwise you will get a bubble. I like to use the 3M adhesive as it gives you just a little time before it's stuck down for good. I will lay down a spray lengthways and stick it down working out to the sides little by little left to right. It also helps to have a little rolling pin or bottle to press it down tight.

From everything I’ve seen, it’s likely not the adhesive, but the foam or other backing is actually failing. So attaching fresh adhesive and fabric will just allow that backing/foam to keep failing and falling down soon. So either new or go all the way to what’s not failing.

spend the money on the proper adhesive. I've tried 3m 77 and it failed.
this shit is glue, strong stuff.
