    Getting healthier in 2020. Who's in?

    Working night, Mountain Dew is what keeps me going. I try to stay under 4-5, and my kids help by thoroughly disposing of any they can get their hands on, but still- I've managed to gain 30lbs since this time last year, granted I had some help with weight loss with the chemo and all, but still...

    Who does auto electrical work (preferably in Utah county?

    Well, I'm a bit out of the way, but if you can't find anyone else I'm pretty decent with the stuff.

    Garbage disposals

    My wife got one off Amazon that was like $60, claims to be 1.5hp but amps don't match up on that. It's been ok, I did have to make fittings to get it installed but it's been hanging there a year now without any issues.

    SpaceX Dragon Crew Launch

    It's pretty wild, but also shows what a dinosaur the existing space contractors are. Both SpaceX and Boeing got the contract, and the upstart newcomers on a smaller budget got it done way faster. Maybe this is just showing a cultural failure in Boeing, or maybe it's a product of the changes in...

    Welding/welder questions

    Harbor Freight has a regulator for a decent price, and I run Norco bottles. They are a good price, they swap them out and take care of testing, instead of having to wait for a refill. A dial gauge orifice style regulator is fine for MIG, they just regulate the output pressure through a...

    Welding helmets Created equal?

    Today I Want This....

    Look up around Seattle area, there are (or were) tons of these things there. I looked at CL in Seattle. A couple dozen, the most expensive half the price of this one. Now I'm having impure thoughts of manual turbodiesel Delicas. Dammit.

    Lighten the mood

    While I really believe that jobs should be done by those capable with appearance a secondary concern, there is something ultra creepy about having a health director who looks like the cryptkeeper.

    Tell me about your shop

    A larger size does effectively increase your air storage capacity though.

    Tell me about your shop

    I've seen plenty of black pipe and galvanized. Either will eventually corrode through if water is allowed to sit in it though.

    Steel prices

    Yup. I filled up the back of my box van with old stoves, parts, etc. It was 1400lbs. I got $15. On the plus side, the cost of materials I had already quoted out for a project was cut by almost half.

    I think I screwed up...

    All I can hear is the creaking of the flimsy wood framed body as the frame flexes over the smallest difference in terrain.

    Tacoma Fiberglass Bed Flaking

    Normally I'm not into flatbeds, but this- I like this. I wish I was still building my 72 F100 now.

    Driving the Pacific Coast Highway, Who's Done It?

    I've done the Olympic peninsula loop a bunch of times. It's awesome. My daily driver for three years was an Alfa Romeo 164, until someone ran into it and now I'm stuck dealing with the insurance company. One of my plans once it's back on the road is to drive the PCH, but heading south. Just...

    Ideal car for bombing dirt roads?

    Find a cheap old Volvo 7 or 9 series wagon, lift it, and throw some decent tires under it. A turbo wagon for maximum fun.

    What will you change after Covid?

    Well, I was just starting to get my head back above water after dealing with the cancer and chemo last year, and we were (hopefully still are) planning on getting our house properly financed later this year. Due to my job I pretty much can't take time off right now, they're running things the...

    Broken piece on fridge help please...

    Double set screw coupler? I'd just be concerned about if something binds up, what would be the next weak link in the mechanism-
