  1. Picked up some Ernst racks while checking on my proto order. The 90 tooth is coming in on either tomorrow or the next days shipments. This Homak came today. I got it loaded up how I wanted it so I could reasonably do most basic maintenance tasks. I could do it all with how I set it up...... except lift it. I couldn't even budge it. I got it down to a more manageable 80 or so pounds.

    I love this thread. Who else has been watching a lot of music videos(ones not posted) because of this?

     

    I've been watching interviews too. I'm a big Foo Fighters fan so that's mostly what I was watching.

    I love music videos and artist interviews, especially acoustic sets they do for radio stations. Still love how the foo fighters did the Saint Cecilia EP. That was a super badass move on their part, and Saint Cecilia is probably one of their best songs.

    I don't know that you're going to be able to buy much with $0, there would definitely be a prenup; on the plus side you would get a song written about you.

    You underestimate my mindcrippleing charm. She'll be in too much of a hurry to get married and set up joint bank accounts to think about a prenup. You just gotta think about things realistically like myself.

    Don't get stuck there just to make everyone happy but yourself

    Allow me refer you to Figure A that I posted in a different thread.

    If I'm going to hate my life anyway, might as well be productive doing it. ?.

    Figure B. For the road.

  5. Jim Morrison's stuff was pretty chilling.  Dude was legit insane. A lot of the Door's stuff is pretty heavy when you read it. Jim Morrison doing metal would have been awesome.

     

    "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
    Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.

    Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a
    Grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through
    The desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian
    Workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't
    Know what happened - but there were Indians scattered
    All over the highway, bleeding to death.

    So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time
    I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is
    Like a flower, his head is just floating in the
    Breeze, man.
    The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking
    Back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead
    Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just
    Running around freaking out, and just leaped into my
    Soul. And they're still in there.

    Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
    Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind.

    Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
    Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
    Blood in my love in the terrible summer
    Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

    Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
    Blood will be born in the birth if a nation
    Blood is the rose of mysterious union
    Blood on the rise, it's following me.

    Indian, Indian what did you die for?
    Indian says, nothing at all.

    Gently they stir, gently rise
    The dead are newborn awakening
    With ravaged limbs and wet souls
    Gently they sigh in rapt funeral amazement
    Who called these dead to dance?
    Was it the young woman learning to play the ghost song on her baby grand?
    Was it the wilderness children?
    Was it the ghost god himself, stuttering, cheering, chatting blindly?
    I called you up to anoint the earth
    I called you to announce sadness falling like burned skin
    I called you to wish you well
    To glory in self like a new monster
    And now I call you to pray"

    -Jim Morrison

    Seller relisted the Fluke 27/FMs for $25. Normally these old meters sell for $50. They are bulletproof and quite accurate, made in the USA, True RMS. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fluke-27-FM-Digital-Multimeter-POWER-TESTED-/292006401195?hash=item43fcf014ab:g:ebEAAOSwmfhX7ZwM

    Yeah. These things are hands down the best automotive meter I've ever used. I picked up two more and some leads. Grab them guys. They beautiful beautiful machines. I've never once thought: "boy I'm sure glad I don't have a meter right now"

    Nice! Glad you finally picked those up! I love those sets

    Yeah, actually the second time I picked them up. The first time I bought them they were among the 186 others that I need to replace. I just hope homeboy is using them and didn't ditch them. Good tools.

    I hope these changes work in your favor! 

    Imagine the world's shittiest game of hot potato but the potato is in six pieces. Nobody knows who has the pieces. All anybody know is the pieces are hot as hell and if you're holding the piece you need to find someone else to give it too. Now imagine all the pieces of the hot potato are reformed into one large, very hot potato and then given to me. Now we all know who has the potato and five people don't have to worry about potatoes anymore. They also toss in a potato that is really cold. In some people's mind that balances out. Other people have two very uncomfortable potatoes.

     

    TL;DR: we'll see how it ends up working, if it does. It could be an opportunity for me or it could be what it has historically been, an opportunity for people to get rid of all their hot potatoes and start calling their hot carrots, potatoes so they can get rid of those too.

  9. We use a bunch of non impact 12 point 3/4 drive stuff at work on the big one inch guns at work. No fatalities yet. They did buy the shop guys a couple sunex kits that it doesn't seem they much care to use. I did crack a 3/4 drive John Deere socket with my Dewalt impact...... After hacking it apart with a grinder for use as an impeller spanner. It naturally split in the corners of the cuts.
