I usually spend my birthday in a seeding tractor where the only asshole I'm working with is me. Man, that guy pisses me off sometimes.

I haven't been able to use Lemvotes for a couple weeks. Every link I put in just comes up as not found now.

That last one always pisses me off. "It just gets out of my way". Who sits there and interrupts their thought process because a window animation they've seen a thousand times before happens again?

There wasn't any danger of me coming to spend my money in that third world shithole anyway.

They turned back my order for 36% permethrin for parasite control. So now I get to pay the equivalent of 30X as much for 0.5% permethrin because it's apparently not a problem to sell permethrin, but you have to make sure you pay a stupid amount to entrenched suppliers that got in before the restrictions.

What bullshit.

It's like Gnome tries to make it impossible to search for troubleshooting help on any of their core apps.

Mine is the older style with the ends closed so you have to fold it and stuff it in, can't let an end stick out. But it's fine, and after a day of hiking, it's beautiful to have something with a back to sit in when you're making supper or sitting around the fire.

I don't get how the relationship in the jaw geometry relates in any way to daVinci's text. I guess the ratio of the jaw is almost the same than the drawing, but not quite? Smells like bullshit.

You have to pay for that knowledge. Did you buy your million-dollar inaugeration ticket? If not, you aren't on the email list.

 

My 77 CJ7 has run for years without any attention, not that I put any great miles on it. This summer it decided it was going to be difficult, so now I have to remember how a carb works, with very small success.

I took it all apart and cleaned it, and blew out the jets. Put it all back together and tried it, no dice. When I come off of throttle, it dies unless I very carefully feather it down to idle. I'm clueless about what's wrong, and have run out of dead chickens to wave over the necromantic device.

I think it would be less trouble to pull the engine and put in a spare 4.0L I have on the shelf.

 

Not my article.

 

The pre-charged kits are fairly inexpensive and surprisingly easy to put in, but you'll need about $400 in extra shit.

My extra shit list:

Disconnect box

Surge suppressor

Liquid-tight whip

Lineset chase

20A breaker

Various holesaws

12/3 wire

Caulking

Duct seal

Extra insulation

Wall mount or concrete paving block
