Nah, the best would probably be to line it with fire brick.

Interesting. After 18 years, my fork still slams just the same. Nice. Looks like a win to me.

Nah, you're just being a gate keeping prick.

Like I always say, Shut up and ride.

Wow, not often you meet a prick in the mtb community. Are you also one of those who think the bike makes the rider? And now, are salty because you found out the truth? Or are you too scared to actually ride your bike because one dent and your high tech carbon fiber frame is scrap?

Won't lie that's a far stretch to say that a bike with hydraulic disk front and rear, Marzocchi Bomber DJ 3, and a geometry that most hard tail mtb mimic these days, I find it hard to agree. The only thing that I am missing out on is having access to a 12x1 group set. But an 8x1 is more than enough for the stuff I do.

Sorry wat? Guess I didn't get that memo, I'll go trash my 2008 giant stp and buy a new bike. Thanks

Lol if you got a real problem in Canada, you're in and out. No fucking around. Trauma, injury, blood everywhere, yah you get stabilized and attention right away. Hell, I've gotten into a car accident. Bad one, no injuries though, got home started to feel rough after the adrenalin kicked out went to hospital said what's up, in 40 min I had xray, CT scan, and an all clear, see ya.

You come with a flu? Go sit your ass down maybe they will see you tommorow.

Yeah, no, the var is bullshit . You have some damn tolerance, especially for the offside crap? Being offside by 1"? Really? A guy running full sprint to catch a ball. Like yeah, I get it if it was a full stride ahead.

That explains why he looked like a lost puppy in the end.

Wow. You obviously have never been in a dire situation, under pressure, a high stakes situation before.

I gota ask what in turboencapulator is that?

Oh man, here we go with the vans again. TDG, are you familiar with that? Massive pain in the ass to transport welding gases in a van vs a pick up. Massive pain having to load and unload a welder. In a van vs pick up. Got a heavy trailer? Yeah you ain't pulling that in a 3500 sprinter or express van. Got long shit it can hang over the tail gate or roof with one strap, instead of a dangly ass string pinching the doors tight to hold your shit in place. Oh BTW veichles naturally have a negative interior air pressure. Meaning with the rear doors open the exaust fumes are getting pulled inside. Mmmmmm delicioso. You gona hand load a 6ft x 8" x 1" thick plate by hand in to your van? Or you know overhead lift with a crane or fork lift like the rest of the world. Tell me how comfortable it's to drive 8-10hrs in a van to a job site, ... I can go on and on on and on on why vans aren't the one and only choice for work vehicles.

 

Fits 2 sticks of butter, cream, coffee, and chocolate chips in the center console. More updates later.

 

Amazon did me dirty with luna and rug pulled GOG from the library. I've been playing KCD2 for the past while I don't do much gaming. Life doesn't give me time so I only get a few hours a week. But still it was my one of few mental escapes. Regardless, I looked into other cloud gaming options and said fuck it and fuck them. I'm going to buy a pc. It's been years since I've kept up with what the hell is what . The most up-to-date I am is that I'm gona pay, pay enough to have to hide from the wife.

This seems like over kill for playing most games I'd do on ultra but I don't know. Plus it be nice to not lust over new titles that I may not be able to run like I did with my previous machine. (Laptop, i7 4700mq gt 740M) which i still use on the regular.

Almost all of my play will be done on a 60" plasma tv. Maybe at some point I'd play on a fancy 4k monitor but that's far away. Because I like sitting in my bed at night and playing with a controller.

 

It's been there for months now. It happend shortly after I painted the walls. I'm jot going to fix it because why. Kids will slam the door again anyways. Rather a hole in the wall than having to replace hinges or a door.

 

Need some help with overcoming the initial hurdles of a learnjng curve. I'm in a fake it till I make it type situation right now. We acquired most of the equipment that a machine/fab shop would have and most of them, there is plenty of information online to learn from. Except for the horizontal boring mill, and I am struggling. The tooling all needs to be made up for it. Nothing I can purchase direct. The spindle is a MT6. My supplier can only get me reducers to MT5. And setting up parts is quite time consuming.

Any advice or know how on being able to turn a profit on this machine would be appreciated.

The machine is a TOS W100 in mostly good working order. Apart from the boring head dropping 0.020" if I cut in reverse travel after forward travel cutting.

Thanks
