Congrats! 🍾 Can we get those tax rates in Texas?

Ok, returned the red impact driver and looked at the turquoise one but got the red screwdriver. Then left the orange store and went to the blue store to get the bit. Still overheats but works much better. Can get about 8 holes in before it’s too hot.

I can’t find a 1” auger with 1/4” shank though. It’s going pretty well with the Diabolo bits. The impact driver won’t stay cool though, it’s insanely hot.

The rental options this weekend were pretty much only a Makita SDS hammer drill and I wasn’t sure they would have a wood bit or if even such a thing exists, so I decided to try this: the battery life seems great but the tool seems to overheat way before the battery runs out. It was 100F outside, maybe that’s the issue? Hm.

My war against cedar is wrapping up and now all is left the ones where the stump grinder couldn’t easily access them. I have a Porter Cable impact driver and corded Ryobi 3/4 HP drill and having issues with a 1” spade bit to cut the holes to put potassium nitrate in them. Should I just rent something bigger that’s corded, or is there a suitable cordless option? I probably have 7-8 left out of the original 29. They probably need 4 holes each (12”-18” stumps) and a vent hole for if/when I need to burn them out.

Have you tried the ATH-R70x? Not sure how that would be described if the adx5000 is a steal… maybe freebie of the century?

Why do people underestimate the importance of a nice rear view?

I would probably build a open baffle speaker with a full ranger with an integrated h-frame or dipole sub. I have been wanting to try something called a slot load as well: http://www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/0911/slot_loaded_open_baffle_speaker.htm

Cool. I would love to try that out on a speaker build!

A box with some dirt in it Pre box, pre dirt

Could you just press fit a ball bearing into the rear of the panel?

Maybe try a heatgun?

They need to make one of those with a sacd spinner inside …

Bon Voyaje! How will you press the designer if you don’t understand the technical issues?

Probably to get away from this carnage. I have couple piles of mulch here and there now.

I helped a turtle cross the road

I had a mail order gig fix my Samsung plasma power supply recently - looks like they replaced some mosfets here and there. It was Valley TV Service.

I think it sounds pretty good in fact!

I would be careful about public statements made about Russia .. and be careful what random super yachts you visit. … oh and, avoid solving coffin problems.

Somewhere they don’t want to leave?

Hate to tell you this, but it isn’t a tree house once the tree is turned into lumber.

Speaker’s Corner Reissue

We’re you using one of those newfangled planes with the electric cord attached?

Yeah; that doesn’t look good.
