Busy Haulin Ice - Visit 2 Maybe a week later, I get a text, no hot water! He comes in the next morning, and we remove/remount the water heater (It was drywall screwed to the MDF of course). Through bolted now, we try to troubleshoot it. I take the front cover off and the circuit board/igniter stuff is just charcoal. That's when he gave me the pictures and mentioned that the Fabricator, had installed the water heater INSIDE the cabinet, PARALLEL to the floor. It's a tiny little gas heater, with only natural airflow, so critical to be mounted upright and in clear air!  IIG (Italian Ice Guy) orders another heater for next visit. Then he says, I Hear a clunking noise when I get on and off the throttle. I start checking the driveline: motor attached to crankset, attached to derailleur, derailleur has extra sprocket, chain goes to rear differential and axles. Everything seems legit but then I notice motor is hanging on top of control and power wires that run down the front face, pulling on them.  Motor castle nut is not tightened, so motor swinging 1/2" on throttle application and back off. I don't have a wrench for this, so he goes off to bike shop down street. Next day comes back with new gas heater, we reinstall it, plumb it up, and we add cleats to inside of cabinet to secure water tanks from sliding around. Right before he is leaving, IGG says "I've been having trouble cooling the freezer down, have to put a fan in front of it to get it down to 0-5 degrees." I take a closer look at cooler - it was originally manufactured on qty (6) legs, I'm guessing 4 or 5 inches high, for allowing cleaning of your ice cream shop, and EXHAUST FROM COMPRESSOR TO ESCAPE DOWN. I get out the hole saw , and punch a bunch of 2 inch holes in the deck, giving a rough cutout for exhaust. (Not enough clearance underneath for jig saw). Freezer gets to -20 that night. Hoorah. Still has no means to fill or empty tanks besides siphoning and sticking a hose in the potable tank, inside the cabinet, still has collpasing hose IGG gets back to slinging ice

Of course my summer car is windows only. Anyone tried running it under bootcamp on a Mac laptop? This is the only game I have really wanted to play in years, and I don't think I can really justify building a windows machine just for this. have a picture of my dog with the cats toy

I decided to try making an endgrain cutting board over the weekend.  I'd say it turned out pretty well. https://agocs.org/blog/2016/10/25/end-grain-cutting-board/ slurry_curry posted:Of course my summer car is windows only.

keykey posted:Dogchat: This silly little rear end in a top hat is enjoying a scrub in the tub. Sup doberman buddy. Mine is the same way - when we have to give the other dogs a bath he sits at the bathroom door and whines until he gets his turn. Seminal Flu posted:Good fences make good neighbors. Can confirm but the other way around. My neighbors put a fence down the property line 6 year ago and used untreated posts driven right into the ground without concrete. This past summer they found four rotted out posts and tried to claim we did it the previous winter by plowing snow off my driveway into it, but last winter was very mild and I never got my tractor out to plow. They wanted me to replace them and I told them to go pound sand (in more diplomatic terms obviously) for the above stated reason, now relations have chilled and we don't talk anymore, but I'm not going to be on the hook for their poor choices. I figured if I replace those four then the next time they find a rotted out post guess whose problem it would be.

My wife gave me the green-light to pick up a Volvo wagon posted on CL that looks like a good deal, but since then I started thinking about spending that money on parts for an LS swap...or just being a boring dude and using it towards maintenance. I'm leaning V8 swap but I would have to wait until summer since its my daily driver. Hmm

Metal Geir Skogul posted:--------------ON CATARACTS-------------- I had a cataract in only one eye, at 45. It actually started before then, of course, but that's when I had it fixed. Since I couldn't afford to have both eyes corrected, the surgeon elected to make the eye with the cataract "match" the "good" eye. My ;prescription is similar for both eyes, and I'm happy that I can see 3D movies again. Mind you, it's time for bifocals, even with the "good" eye...

On a scale of 1 to "Splitting Maul to the Gentleman's Bits," how painful would it be to try to do the head gaskets, timing belt, and water pump on my Baja... on a gravel parking pad with no shelter? Also: why the gently caress couldn't it wait to start pissing oil until after I built my garage.

I forgot about traumatic cataracts. You can get them after a hard trauma to the eye (direct punch, laceration, penetrating trauma), but the average onset is something like 30 days after the incident. So, you get into a bar fight end of January, and in March you suddenly get a cataract overnight

You're going to want to pull the motor unless you enjoy pain. It will probably take under a day if you are reasonably experienced. Rustbelt or no?

Montana, so rust is minimal, but it's also going to be November. And yeah, I figured it would require pulling the engine. I know there's a way to do just the HG without pulling the motor, but I'm pretty sure my arm doesn't bend the five different ways it'd have to to do the timing belt in-situ. My wife has a second job at a truck stop (because gently caress paying special ed teachers a livable wage?) and apparently she gets a 20% discount at the shop there, so I may just end up throwing money at this.

If you don't pull the engine, undo the transmission and engine mounts, jack the engine up, and swing it side to side. I did a DOHC one that way on the street. Sucked and took like three days, but I did it

Only things that arent ARB is the engine upgrades (Snorkel, Piggyback ECU and upgraded intercooler are all Safari) the exhaust (Beaudesert) the cargo barrier (Milford), fridge (Engel) and lighting (Lightforce)....

Not that I know of. However, cranking them to the highest Tx power can cause them to suffer from heat-related errors (and subsequent packet loss), and that can manifest as slowness as it sends repeated requests for lost data.

Yeah. I was wondering if that "burns out" the electronics somehow. Was trying to figure out some weirdness at my friend's house. I think the router itself is getting weaker somehow. As I think I tried another adapter. Ah well.

They can definitely get flaky over time, but I don't think it has to do with the actual RF transmit part of the radio. Wouldn't be surprised if it was due to the bad caps that plague everything. I had a WRT54G that worked great for years, but eventually got flakier and flakier (had to constantly reset it) until I replaced it with a Ubiquiti unit. The radio seemed to always work, but the processor seemed to go out to lunch more and more frequently.

Once again my laziness comes around to bite me in the rear end. The tap in my bathroom has been dripping on the cold side for a while, so I've been shutting it on and off with the ball valve on the supply line when I'm not using it. Well, now the ball valve has started leaking from the handle, since they aren't really designed to be used all the time  So now I have to replace the tap and the ball valve, and the sink is this huge porcelain hunk of poo poo with an integrated tap. I have to pull everything apart to even get to the fittings. And I have to relearn how to use plumber's hemp and paste, since I don't trust teflon tape.

CharlesM posted:Can a WiFi adapter get weaker over time? Especially if it is used to pick up a weak signal? I seem to recall that there was some phenomenon where WiFi poo poo slowly degraded over the course of some years. Can't remember if it was the clock drifting or some sort of SNR that became worse and worse. here is a four year old Ask Slashdot that talks about this.
