so you did nothing to dissuade me lol
Pop the drawer out, use vise grips to gently squeeze along the track.
Welcome to the club. This is only about a quarter of my clamp inventory.That's on the other side.
Believe or not. I may have too many clamps. Although, I never seem to have enough of the right size.
I appreciate the "label maker" label, made by the label maker, on the case for the label maker.
I almost did, but I'm waiting one more week to change the snowblower oil and put it away for the year. If we get a freak late snowstorm in April, I'll just push it with the tractor bucket since it'll be wet and heavy anyway.
Our Ariens had a slow leak from the gearbox a couple of years ago. I topped it up and ordered the seals. It never leaked again--and I still have the seals on hand.
Funny, just noticed a few drops under mine today, as well. Maybe the change in seasons. I've never seen a drop once before. I check my gearbox fluid and change it as needed. I'll just keep an eye on it if it drips anymore once it's in its summer parking spot.
Those damned plastic clams start to all look the same, thus the label. And it was a new label, cause it migrated from the case that became the microscope case. I was a labelling fool, but still have a couple hundred bins, 3 or 4 dozen drawers, and another couple dozen clams left to go.
My dogeater dribbles a couple tablespoons of hypoid every year. Not bad for a 60yo machine.
....damn, I hate posting anything using my iphone because the typing is so damn small....didn't have time to proof read the thread and so had to comeback this morning and make spelling corrections!)
Awesome typo!
Your plan of ignoring it would appear to have merit. I think I’ll take two concurrent paths; order the seals and have them ready (which seems to have worked out for Beerhippie) as well as actively do nothing - which has worked out well enough for Kay.
...yeah....I had to comeback this morning and make corrections....I originally posted this late yesterday evening.....that is after consuming...like a 12 pack of beer! Did you reflexively pull your thumb away immediately, or did you look at it first?I decided to go on a push and get the damned training wheels for the tables done today.
That sounded real good, but I got off to a rocky start:
Imagine there's a left thumb impaled on that 18 ga brad.
Entry:
Exit:
So I wasted nearly an hour going up to the clinic, filing out the paperwork and getting a tetanus booster--it's been at least a decade since my last. As usual, the meds wanted to go all ICU on it--started a lecture on nail bed damage--I explained that that thumb had been flattened more times than they'd had birthdays. Finally got out and got back to work. Got some other vacs while I was there. Shingles, in particular, sounded like a good idea--I had it in my thirties (extreme job-induced stress) and it *****.
Done and ready to install. Van doing van things.
All laid out and ready to install in the morning.
Of course, in the process of pulling my thumb off the brad, I spilled my glue pot on the shop floor:
Titebond waterproof. Largest glob is about 5". I figure let it dry and scrape it off.
Now beer.....
Still waiting to see if I won, waiting on a tap drive extension. If the hole is too big for the 5mm timesert I may have enough room for a 6mm.
I figured I just got "stung" until I looked down to see the end of the brad sticking out of my thumbnail. It took a pretty good tug to get it out--after I had a coworker grab the spray bottle of 90% ETOH I keep in the shop as a solvent. Wanted to be sure I didn't pull anything but the brad back through the wound.
Maybe you have more control and I do. I had a '19 Mustang GT (460HP stock- mine wasn't stock) 6 speed manual for daily. It was 'video game' fast. In other words, triple digits felt like 55mph. Very comfy, ridiculously good mpg for all that power etc. But when the dealer I bought it from (new) offered me MORE for it (had over 30K miles on it) than I paid for it - it left.

My car is a bit 'unique'. Some of the mods on the car were done by the original owner when the car was new - Bassani headers, Bassini catted x pipe, Bassini cat back. Here's a post from my thread - the original owner saw the car online and reached out and sent pics

Test drove a ZL1 coupe 6 speed manual car. GREAT deal (a friend). NOPE. At least w/ the Coyote in the GT you had to rev it out a bit. The ZL1? I'd have to Uber to work.
The SS ragtop w/ the 6.2/Auto is not a light car. Stock it's low 13 sec car w/ traction. Even it tempts me. That's why I like my '04 GT 4.6 2v. I only bought it because it's a Competition Orange car (1 of like 1K GT's). It's got few simple mods. It sounds good. It gets decent mpg. It's fun to drive. And w/ 4.10 gears and the TR3650 and live axle? I can beat on it some without needing a criminal defense attorney if I get pulled over.
And you can find some nice 5th and 6th Gen SS Camaro ragtops in good shape, usually mostly unmodified w/o dropping a ton of $

Cheapest ZL1 ragtop I've seen in decent shape was still over $40k.
Yeah, that gen 5 ragtop must be 4200 lbs or so. My 77 Z28 would likely be faster due to power/weight differences, and gearing. Not sure if that is good or bad.
Good to see you about and doing stuff.Cleaned, flung, put away. Reshittified. Transferred tools to new boxes. Refitted boxes. Relabeled boxes. Went through the future project pile and dumped it on the big bench. Pulled pen blanks from the cart. Found my special drill bits. While trying to setup the drill press, rediscovered the ring light. Machined out the hole to fit the quill. Bored the quill for the set screws. Attached the light. Thought I'd killed it when I accidentally clicked off the power switch.
Wife has this on a T-Shirt.

We keep it garaged - and after the fact we learned the the earlier convertibles (I think '13 was the last year) had some issues and GM redesigned the top later. But heavy rain, driving even parked - zero intrusion in the car. I did clean out the 'water bag' when we first got it (drain channels / hoses) when I noticed some water in the truck after a HEAVY rain. Haven't noticed anything since and that was over 2 years ago.Control is relative.
I've seen the ZL1s in the 30s, but gotta watch mileage. that's probably not happening but an SS might. unmodified is prerequisite.
How is that convertible with rain/water?

Ooooohhh so you had a good amount of time to think about pulling it out? lol That *****. Luckily it’s a small wound, probably heal quicker than a smashed nail.
, but likely to change in the near future....
I barely feel it at all when working. No blood blister under the nail to deal with--it was self-piercing.
