Re: Post your cat here This isn't my creation, but it sure is true.

Re: Post your cat here We also have Lola, which is my daughter's cat. She doesn't care for me at all, even though I do all the work taking care of the cats. She's a long haired tortoiseshell, and is actually quite funny. She is 4 years old.

Re: Post your cat here We got our boys Sancho Panza and Don Quixote a couple of years ago. They are brothers, adopted from an area shelter. They couldn't be more different. Sancho is a snuggler, and a gentleman. Donkey is a mess; he doesn't like to be touched, acts as if he doesn't like...

Petrol is 139.9 what per litre? Pence? Ok, GBP to USD, then how many liters to a gallon... carry the 3... Wow. $6.89 a gallon.:wtf: That explains the avatar.:lol_hitti Edit. My 10 year old daughter was looking over my shoulder. She said, "explains the avatar?" so I scrolled up. "Ewww!" she...

Yes, I figured that out seconds after posting that. I read " when he actually typed '. It's deleted.

:lol_hitti There's an informal rule around here that requires at least one word in the thread title must be misspelled. You'll fit right in. :bounce:

That's a nice workbench. How did you get the magnet off the work surface when you were done with it? Is it an electromagnet or a permanent magnet?

That transition from SAE (fractional inch) to Metric took many years. In this article from 1973, GM announces they are transitioning to Metric. Ford's first US-made vehicle to be designed and manufactured using metric measurements was the Pinto in 1971. But as bluebolt correctly says, there were...

Kirk, I'm not too sure about getting more T8 bulbs for this garage. If/when the bulbs go out, I'll probably get the LED replacements. I really like the idea of more light for less power consumed, and the fact that LEDs are cold insensitive and last longer also appeal to the engineer in me. I...

Drives, I am frugal with my time and energy, as I have so little of both it seems. So I tried to get as much light as possible out of the existing fixtures. Doing it that way saves a lot of rework. A couple of years ago I bought the double bulb splitters and put LED bulbs in that were basically...

There you go, underthinking things again. :bounce: How did I know it would be Andy who brought up the T8 LED replacements? :thumbup: Ok, so here goes. I was a holdout on the T12 fixtures, using two of them in my new garage that I'd had for years on a shelf. I even went out and bought extra T12...

Originally when I replaced the double 1600 lumen bulbs with the triple 2600 bulbs, I was concerned I'd gone overboard on the brightness. Nope. :) It's great. So yesterday I just about doubled the lumens in the garage. Yes, I thought about the dust cap thing - these new caps are China repops...

Not much progress to report. Work has kept me busy, and I had a run-in midweek with some undercooked food at a restaurant. We've had a cold snap, with rain and snow here, so I've not worked on the shed. With the shorter daylight hours, and the cold weather, I decided to work on the garage. I...

I'll work on underthinking things. Do you know how to do that? :lol_hitti I've been called a smart alec before, too. :bounce: Thanks for stopping by, Andy.

I have several pieces of clothing from Dickies, including insulated coveralls, and they all seem to be well made and are a good fit. I also have some Carhartt clothing, and I believe they are even better quality than Dickies. I'm surprised Dickies cancelled the orders, though.

Joe, do you have any pictures of the flood lights that were being used in the early 1930's at your station? It sounds like they had more than just the lights over the doors back then. You need some period correct flood lights. Yes, I'm making work for you! :D

Uh, oh! You're going to have to start over with a new thread, 1932 Gas Station Resurrection. :lol_hitti Just kidding. This is an awesome thread.

Looking great, Andy. I really enjoy following along. Can you show the vacuum pump setup? I'll need something like this in the future.
