What are you doing right now??

[OldGrunt]

For when you really need to get into what you’re examining

They had the thickness I wanted, like the good TP and not that 1ply

 

[Bassbob]

I really don’t want to know why you have “examination gloves” !

I have boxes of them in my shop. They come in handy for a couple things. Lubing BCGs for example. Keeping fingerprints off stuff.

sounds like the bomb....

 

[Sharks79]

this was a project. Definitely should have cleaned these baffles sooner.

That is a live main and a live tee. If you zoom in you can see something sticking out of the top of it. It's called a climax plug. It's used to shut down a tee that doesn't have a threaded cutter in it.

And to answer your next question, no I wasn't smoking when I shut it down, but I did light one up after I had the climax plug in it.

Climax plug.

Watching last episode of Skin Walker Ranch for this year. I really don't understand what is going on there but they have spent years and lots of money trying to find something. I guess only time will tell. Had an exciting morning today so sitting in my favorite chair and will probably fall asleep in it. Maggie already walked down the hall to her room. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Thank you for your indulgence,

oh here is a good one, and i think either @Belt Fed or @NMEDGE just recently went thru this.

i ordered up fiber optic rods from MidwayUSA last friday.

they were "supposed" to be here yesterday (tuesday) as of 4:00 AM yesterday, they were in the main postal DC center in downtown Providence, only about a mile or 2 from my house...so delivery to me should have taken place, its only about a mile to my local postal office

but....NNNNnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo

no delivery yesterday.

i just looked at the tracking, and my rods are in Mashpee, MA...which is on CAPE COD.....60 miles away.....!!!!!!!!!


like WTF....????

i'll tell you what.........

they had a "due to arrive date" for the 9th according to MidwaysUSA estimated delivery date, which is Tuesday of NEXT WEEK.....

i'll bet dollars to donuts, those SOB's at the post office will keep my item in "Postal Limbo World", until next week...

LIKE WTF...DELIVER THE GOD DAMNED THINGS, YOU GOT PAID FOR IT
