    Minimizing spatter

    Never use chlorinated products for cleaning metal for welding (creates phosgene, a form of nerve gas, when heated). Acetone is your friend here

    Good Bye Cruel World

    Getting off the plane in Australia might as well be a different planet. All the plants are different, the animals, the smell and sounds. (or it could just be the 20+ hrs on a plane that it took to get there) The people, however, were fantastic... I'd love to go back some day.

    CB/Ham antenna lengths

    From what I've seen, keeping the swr under 2 will do all you need for trail runs and for these short distances, placement is not too critical but getting a good ground is. For longer distance, antenna placement gets more important since affects directionality. Most of these antennas are...

    CB/Ham antenna lengths

    All of them, regardless of their physical length, are tuned to be resonant at the center of the CB band (talking CB antennas here) with some tweaking required to get best SWR. Generally, the longer the antenna, the wider the bandwidth. Specifically, if both are tuned with SWR = 1 on channel...

    Hall of shame (but not in my opinion)

    A really cool tool I've been using lately is GPSVisualizer to map elevations along a particular route http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/profile_input Do your driving directions in Google maps like always, click on the link button next to the print button, copy the URL. Go to the link above, change...

    Hall of shame (but not in my opinion)

    I put E rated 275/70r18 Michelin LTX M/S2's on since the stock Goodyear Wrangler SR/A's were not suitable for a max payload. Much better, but I want from a 65 to 70 profile (32" to 33") so the computer is off a bit and the tires weigh 15lbs more each. It shows about 17.3 for my commute and...

    Hall of shame (but not in my opinion)

    Thanks for asking We're much better now. We've been averaging about a weekend a month in the trailer. First trip was two nights in a KOA in Brigham City for the system test. Next up a couple nights in Logan Canyon (way, way, too busy of a road) Then Stillwater campground in the Uinta's...

    cement work?

    I don't think so if you are a little flexible on schedule so he can fit it in between larger projects. Regardless, he'll tell you straight up and not just throw out a ridiculous price.

    cement work?

    I think the work Steve did for me was quite reasonable. approx 700 sq ft, 4.5" slab thickness with 12" at the side due to elevation change, re-bar, not mesh, tied into existing driveway and garage foundation, removed all sod, existing shrubs, concrete curb, and remains of an old basketball...
