  1. Dude had six of them. I bought two. A new car can wait, right? SOHC 750E motors. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  2. Customize it, this is amazing. Can't thank you enough. The dream is postponed by my need for a new car, but this will be the greatest resource when. I dive into it. Thank you! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  3. Anybody try this? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  4. I've been happily taken for 3 years, but I find beard lovers to be hit or miss. Maybe 3 out if 10 women are attracted to beards, but that 30% is absolutely into beards. I'm absolutely forbidden to shave by my girlfriend. But in the immortal words of Nelly "you see my grandmama hate it, but my lil' mama love it" Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  5. I'm hoping to get into custom fabrication, pipelining, something more important. A friend just offered me a $400 TIG welder to swap bodies on an old VW beetle. I'm pumped. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  6. This is the most handsome section I can run, and its vert. Its a battle against gravity, sometimes I win, sometimes there's hot globs bouncing off my boots. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  7. Let me give you some background. I finished welding classes in November. Out out 10+ apps, no bites EXCEPT for this place. Formerly owned by Amish, partnered with an Englishmen, the. Then the English guy bought the Amish out. I'd say it's a 50/50 split of Amish and English. I'm not particularly find of working with Amish. They don't care about precision, just breaking a sweat. Which is fine, but they're trying to have me eyeball stuff up to 22 foot long. Ridiculous. But anyways, they make dumpsters, big dump bins you'd find outside a bay door, and trailers (intermodal and otherwise). Being the new guy I'm making the big bins. I have no passion for the product, but I do for the work. So being that it's bins they really only care how many they pump out, but they run the same settings on the outside of trailers, but with .050 wire. It's just a ridiculous speed to run anything but a stringer at. Like I said, you're allowed to change your settings as long as the welds are sufficient, but nobody does. I'm getting the experience I wanted and I still take pause when I open the checks. Verticals welds are the only ones I'm especially proud if, but they're all acceptable. Glad to know I'm not out of line being concerned at the settings, but it's production. Also, nobody needs certs for anything, which is dumbfounding considering some of these things have wheels on them and will be passing you in the highway. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  8. It's fast as shit. I was having a breakdown after blowing holes in pieces for a couple days straight. I'll need to confirm the shielding were running. I think it's 75/25, but it comes hosed in so I never see the source. Just wanted to confirm I should have been struggling for as long as I did lol Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  9. I started a MIG job, my least favorite of the big three, about a month ago. We weld stock as thin as 13 or 14 gauge sheet metal. I'm just now getting the consistent good looking beads I can normally do under lesser settings. They run everything at 27 volts, .035 wire at 700 IPM. Is this a pretty standard setting in most weld shops? The heat I can deal with, but the wire speed took me three weeks to really get the hang of. Corners, Lap, butt joints each have their little tricks when you have to whiz-bang them out that fast. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  10. "Taboo? What is that category?" *zips pants up, walks away* Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  11. When I was in highschool I used to ad-hoc/VPN on the school computers and hop on whatever I wanted with my buddies. I was regarded as a wizard by my peers. I never did anything malicious, our firewall was just (understandably) restrictive. I got away with it for quite awhile until they installed the software on the librarians computer that allowed her to view our screens. Our IT guy was really cool about my breach, took it upon himself to educate me in some of the ways of the force after that. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  12. Eagle nest double hammock! It's between a softball and a football in size. Just do an anti-rain dance before you take a trip lol Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  13. $99 yearly* Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  14. Jeez. I have a 79 CB750L, 8 points on my license, 22 y/o, only policy I carry through Geico and I pay $99. I wasn't forthright about my points, so unless they dug them up on their own I doubt they are aware. I also only have liability. 25k per person 50k per occurrence and 25k property damage. I was a cheapskate after I got the bike. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

  16. My uncle helped me make the handle when I was like... 13 and my dad's (not so) native American friend made the sheath for me. Way to big for any real carry time, but cool to have. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  17. I made a hardwood handle for a knife blank once. Does that count? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  18. And stumbling wasn't a problem with the field sobriety. I watched. She was a rock. They got her for "glassy eyes" and took her downtown. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  19. I've never messed with Uber, my area is rural AF, not sure it'd be readily vailable. I've always adhered to the drink an hour rule, she felt fine, she drove fine (I was with her), but clearly it was a mistake. If I could redo the evening I would, we don't drunk and drive, thought we were legal, literally thought the field sobriety test would be fine. Even told her "see you soon" i was 100% sure we were fine. But I guess this is a learning lesson. Just blows, especially because we took (not enough) precaution. I know people that drive drunk 4 days a week and she has 3 drinks in 4.5 hours and told she's a criminal. She has to take counseling and hotel hell. It's just so much. *vent complete* Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  20. Well I just meant to clarify my "zero tolerance" usage boner. I realize I was incorrect. You are correct, as well. Less than legal limit requires more, but still possible to receive. Field sobriety test is BS, I don't have a better idea, but I'd hardly qualify them to make the field diagnosis they do. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  21. And if you're driving and doing whip-its at the same time you have an imminent death wish lol Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  22. By zero tolerance I mean blowing a BAC of any value is grounds for a OVI. You CAN get a OVI, without being over the legal limit. You will just receive an OVI instead of an OVI + BAC Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  23. She weighs 135lbs. I think he mixed drink was placed a little late it the evening. She blew a .109 I believe. Turns out Ohio has a zero tolerance law, you can get a OVI with ANY alcohol in your system. They've got it set up now where OVI is the blanket charge and then the have a sub charge (BAC) that they tack on as well. She got both charges, they dropped one. First time offender with a year of probation and a year license suspension. I live in Wayne county and they bring the hammer down. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  24. Two angry orchards and a mixed drink over a 4.5 hour period gave my girlfriend a DUI. Sometimes drinks hit me weird too though. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
  25. You accomplished in several months that which took me years lol if you do end up hating the Balm you can always use it for your hands when it's dry out. There's really nothing especially unique about beard balm, just a combination of wholesome ingredients. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
