  2. Finished binge watching it the other day after I finished "The Boys". Really good series, crazy the amount of parallels to current day. Curious if it'll be renewed for a season 2. Amazon is really stepping up their original content game.
  3. I have a 3DObject file from a laser scan that I need converted to a solidworks part.

     

    Here is an idea of the scan

    This is beyond my skill level.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    What is the file format? Can you email it to me?

  4. Time for people to begin taking care of themselves. Lots of the underlying chronic health issues are avoidable by eating better and generally taking care of ones self. Obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, copd, diabetes, all greatly increase odds of a bad outcome.

    I agree. Call me selfish but I'm not willing to sacrifice my quality of life, 401k, bank account balance, etc., for those who are unwilling to take care of themselves. Be smart, do smart things, hold each other accountable for their actions.

  5. Unpopular opinion:

     

    Lots of people are going to die. We cannot escape that reality. Does it suck? Yes. Is it avoidable? Not reasonably. We need to get back to some semi-normal type of operational status ASAP. The economy and the people cannot take another [worse than] 2008 situation. We can't keep printing money to help everyone out.

  6. Didn't Japan just announce today that they are closing all schools this weekend for a month to help stop the spread? At least that's what ABC 6 on your side told me this morning.

     

    Yup. We just cancelled our business trip over there (was supposed to be leaving Monday) because of this.

  7. we discussed this a while back and i was in the HD camp because the compressor was made by Campbell-Hausfeld and has been for a long time, where as Loews' captive brand Kobalt switches out white label mfgs pretty regularly (they were CH, and then Coleman Powermate which I think is inferior, and I don't know who makes them now). Dad's got a CH compressor in his garage that he and I used heavily and it's still going strong 20 years on.

     

    I'll be honest though. I've had some good experience with harbor freight compressors once you service them. Central Pneumatic is not a captive brand for HF, which means they aren't a built to a price point compressor like a captive brand would - what they are is a corners cut compressor and usually where the biggest corner cut isn't on quality of parts but on quality control of the mfg unit (Someone in the auto parts industry once told me that QC is 40% of the cost of most parts). If you can get a good look at the unit, ID the potential failure points, and service it before use you'll probably get the same use out of it as any other. I have 5+ years out of my HD pancake compressor and it hasn't given me a single problem.

     

    Again, for the cost, relative quality, and ease of replacement/warranty, I second the HF route if you don't go with the HD model. Either way you should be good to go!

  8. Good feedback. Again, I'm not compressor knowledgeable but am learning and figured the oiled route was better for longevity. This Next one looks like the step up from the one above? Again, you're doing more in terms of work with it. I'll use it for inflation, quick jacks, and various Tornador Cleaning tools. Not more than a couple times per week really and light use. Thoughts on this one?

    That one looks like a winner for your intended use. One thing I forgot to mention is noise with the oil-less compressors. If portability of the compressor in your garage/shop space is a must item, disregard this next portion.

     

    For less that ~$50 you could plumb 1-3 dedicated air drops to outlets or hose reels in your garage and add to that 30 gallon capacity a bit also. I added a 3" SCH 80 PVC air header fed directly from the compressor after my cooler setup, along the center ceiling of my shop, then added 4x 3/4" trunk lines and dirt legs off of it with air hose reels on 2 of them. Makes for a cleaner floor/work space without tripping over hoses, allows you to run different pressures on different circuits, and doesn't cost much at all to do. Just some food for thought.

  9. Would stray away from the Husky (or any oil free compressor for that matter) as it is oil-less. Coatings on the moving parts often wear pre-maturely and cause catastrophic failure. That also being said, I used a HF 29 gal comrpessor https://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools-compressors/air-compressors-tanks/29-gal-2-hp-150-psi-cast-iron-vertical-air-compressor-61489.html for 5+ years in my shop before upgrading to an 80 gal system (woodworking, metal working, mechanics, HVLP painting etc) with zero issues at all, so that may be a viable option as well.
  10. Went down and looked at this Ferris last evening. Put a deposit on it. Its a pretty nice mower. Obviously used but the guy has 3 other Ferris's that he uses and maintains. Idle surges just a bit but Im sure I can figure that out.

    So Ill be selling the bobcat if anyone is interested in a small project. Its a great HD mower just needs some work obviously.

    What year and model is it? I have a 1999 with the Kohler that I might be interested in yours for parts.

  11. We also just had a baby girl in April. They're batshit crazy when they are pregnant. That being said, remember this: Your child is a product of your relationship. She is here because of you two, not the other way around. Your child(ren) will move out of the house eventually and be gone and you will be left with your wife. Marriage first, children second, everyone profits.
