  1. I cant recall having any headaches since prior to windohs xp. but prior to XP they all sucked donkey balls. Currently im running Windows 7 PRO 64 bit,never have had an issue for years now.

     

    Most PC issues are because people still after all these years are scared of computers and do something dumb like delete system files or some other sillyness. also because alot of people dont use antivirus and such and go to shady sites and wonder how that happens.

    I picked this up last year at a tag sale for $25.

    Wow,yall got me curious now. I guess ill be seeing where i can find some local auctions. nice score. I would have paid that just for the receiver. 

    I used to have a bunch of extra home stereo stuff but my ex stole them and sold them for who knows what. I had some pretty badass cerwin vega 15" towers hooked up to a Pioneer system solely for music, and hand picked dcm speakers and sub hooked up to a denon  for home theater. Currently i have Klipsch.

  3. Right on Brian,thanks man. That would be cool.

     

    I can solder pretty well if needed. Out of practice on surface mount and such but changing out a pot,capacitor and what not is pretty easy to do if i remember right.

     

    I studied electronics technology in college,been a while since then. Thats another reason i need to build a nice bench so I can keep my soldering station setup somewhere.

  4. Farm,auto,equipment auctions around here.

     

    Those require time which id rather spend doing other things,plus id rather have new. I dont wanna buy others people junk because half the time they are far from completely working.

    Yeah no Roloc usage from beginning makes it a little more meh to me. Luckily im a machinist and will be doing somekind of mod. Not surprising they are metric threads since these are EU only currently but the math conversion is so simple. There is 25.4 mm to an inch. 1mm = .03937 inches.

     

    I have a bunch of 2 or 3 inch long roloc shafts,I could just rethread one end and put some small wrench flats on it. Would be pretty simple to do.  All they do at the factory is make a headless bolt basically. Grade 5 is very easy to machine. Hell chop the head off a 5mm bolt and you got the same thing basically.

    I have the dewalt tough system music and I can say I love it. It is great only problem is clock works on radio station feedback and I have only found one station that sends clock info. But otherwise it is awesome

    From a fan of tools with lots of assistance from Siri #TIACREW

    Yeah ive heard about that but the clock is not an important factor for me or many other folks id imagine and most likely ill be listening to mp3 via line in.

     

    Id love to just be able plug in a thumb drive,that would be very cool.

     

  7. I'm excited about a radio shootout. My shop/man cave needs a new radio system so bad. I love music but my current system doesnt do music justice in anyway. If I could get bass like my Klipsch system in the house that would be sweet.

     

    Ive been eyeing that newer Dewalt and Bosch system for a while. New Ridgid seems to be getting good reviews,but stories of bad lcd.

     

    Im curious to see what Dan and Eric say. Ive been a bit of an audiophile for many years but building a nice component system takes up quite a bit of space. And jobsite type stereos can withstand the dust and such better.

     

    My current junk system no bass in anyway just a super low end RCA system.

    Im hoping I can sweet talk the queen of the castle out of a couple hundos to get what I want.

  8. one trick is to hang blank cd's on branches by a string,if they are nesting you might not be able to do much to get them to actually leave thou.   you'd think in areas where birds have high populations they'd have a bird control dept or something.

     

    They still have dog catchers nowadays,why not birdcatchers?

  9. Most of the younger guys in the shop now have HF boxes due to me telling them to check them out.

     

    I told them you have years to go for that sweet Kennedy stack. I could probably have at least 6 of the big HF boxes for my lower Kennedy alone.

     

    My box weighs a literal ton,I buy beer for ones that can move that thing. Machining tools like pin gage sets and such are super heavy. It adds up quick. The nice thing about the HF boxes is everything is ball bearing slide constructed and the gauge of metal used is strong.

    Why more towards Dewalt or makita. You don't have Milwaukee tools ?

    I misspoke,Here are the Milwaukee tools I have.

    Only a few hand tools,no red power tools. If I were to get one it would be the HT impact wrench. Brushed or brushless doesnt matter to me all that much. Gen 2 brushless stuff is pretty awesome thou.

  11. Milwaukee,husky, or HF toolboxes should suite your needs. I just saw some smaller versions of milwaukee rolling boxes at HD just yesterday. I shoulda taken a pic but spaced it.

  12. HF makes a black one my buddy has one. yeah its a lil smaller.

     

    we enclosed his in with some 1/8 sheetmetal plate just used Tek screws to mount them to the cart. we water jetted out and bent up some holders for pry bars and such on his too.

     

    fun what you can do when ya have spare time and the equipment to do it.
