Frame was just over 48 wide, lets ply sheets lay in there just right. However the new deck was about 1/16+ wide and would not go in without major effort. Broke out the planer and made adjustments. Also beveled the edges to clear the angle iron corners. Went on fine then and I got all new SS hardware to fasten down.

Also had to trim the slot for the pin as the assm ended up about 1/4 longer with the new rim..

Cardboard?

Nice

I vote for the 10mm. With animals you may not get the time to raise a rifle in close quarters. Plus you have more shots.

Not personal experience, I read all the time how the 10mm stopped big animals.

Bet he has bigger stuff then that around.

Would like to see it stay around.

This has crossed my mind several times lately. Hate to see it happen but I also don't see the use required to keep going.

Hate to loose the forum and stories, I am not a text guy unless I must, FB is for selling-buying things.

Heck, haven't even got my foundation poured yet!

Wish I could burn some stuff, nice its open.

Its all little stuff now since you are dried in!

Youngest son turns 16 tomorrow, so we went to Angel Island to watch the air show. Wife wanted to go to SF and I told her no way am I going there. (she's a terrible back seat driver too) City is so beautiful from a far.

For those not knowing, Angel Island was a military base with missles at one time and an imigraton stop in real times,,,,,,,

F35 demo, Fat Albert and an AC-130, with the Blue Angels coming up last. Had to leave a little to make the ferry back to Tiburon.

I liked the show better when FA did a JATO take off, but was still good. The 35 did a great flyby and even some hovering right INF SF. Angels snuck in right over our heads and I just them passing.

Looks similar to what I have. Works great when you get the hang of it. A tilt back arm would have been nice.

For seating I have been looking at the small tanks, not pricey at all. That or I use a strap. My setup is mounted on a pallet. I use a pallet jack to tuck away.

Must be nice to be closed in as the weather will not be your friend.

 

Got all but 1 panel up, pretty straight. Last panel will cover the junction box. Thought I had a bad panel, but it was the installer who forgot to plug in one panel 

System is really cool, all 13mm and grounds the panel to the rail. Ground tab on each section. I have #10 stranded for the power and #8 solid for the ground.

With 9 panels up I get 480v, about 50v with no load. Under load they are rated for about 45v. Inverter (4000watt) will take 600v so I will be fine.

Thought I had a bad panel, but only cosmetic. Shows full power and no breaks in the surface.

Now to run the conduit through the attic and up through the roof. Trick is to turn the conduit up 35ft from the vent area.

Chicken Nuggets?

Saw a P47 today with invasion strips flying up to Nutt Tree. See P51's all the time first 47.

Been looking for files to try out but I also need a 220v plug outside to run my compressor and plasma at the same time.

Seems like cleaning the garage has become a fulltime job. I clean, it gets messy and not me. Its the shaving and grinding stuff that gets me ticked the most. Son doesn't understand all the crud on everything is a pain. He likes to use the vise on the table, I use the one near the garage door. Plus he LOVES the metal chop saw!

Got a spot on the metal table cleaned off to mount it up though. Will pivot out of the way when not in use and I will cover it. I need to figure a cutting table for it. I think something that plugs in may work better. The grates are to small and to heavy.

Great on it all. Love bilstiens!

Maybe look at the regular bolt on ball joints. JMHO but hear the uniballs wear quick and are a bare to change.

Busy man! Is that a gas or electric heater?

Can't even keep up with em anymore. Was a bill, not fiat but still bad.

Got it calibrated last night, had to see if it worked OK. Didn't use the torch, but did a couple templates and circles, seemed fine. Guy I got it from said he would give me 3 days to check it out, so I'm good with it now.

Idea is to mount it on the corner of my steel table so it pivots in when not in use. I "found" a couple metal grates I will hinge to fold up for a cutting area.

Still reading up on and going to YTU for much of it. Found some cool hole centers and a laser stylus for it which should make tracing much easier.

To pull you out, maybe for others. Way less stress when pulling as you take the shock out of it. I still have my tree straps too. Got a similar setup for the Tahoe, one nice recovery bag.

Compressor I got was the Slime, dual like yours. Nice hard case. I had/have a couple of the HF singles, they are a chore but work.

Didn't hear about that one. Law is the law, newsome can't just change with a pen. Of course its not stopping brandon either,,,,,,,,,,

Well, I have been eyeing these for about a year now. Seems perfect for smaller jobs. Was almost 1/2 price when you include shipping and tax. Pretty much self contained and you can use it with CAD or CAD (cardboard assisted design) and tweak it some too.

I have a Langmiur Pro, still boxed up and need to leard CAD to use it. I bought a dedicated 60amp plasma for it, but it will work with this too.

Going to setup and mount on my 4x6 steel table with a fold out cut area. Does about 16x24, but can do larger at points.

Not going to post any video links as there are so many, but here is the websight; https://arcdroidcnc.com/

Shawn, I thought about you when I got this.

I use express vpn, ready to drop it. I use Duck/Duck anyway but it has to reconnect almost everytime I search.

Way more in many places. Last I was in Nv it was 3.99. Local is is hovering in the low $5 range.

Spent an hour last night cleaning the fridge coils. Fridges pretty much stopped working, coils were caked on dirty.

Seems to be working OK today, but still not sure, might a cheap fridge until I do the kitchen.

Ended up getting a new one, whirlpool again. Mixed reviews but seems OK. I really like LG but finding one in stock and for under 2K is getting tuff. This was $1200 otd.
