Yeah, kind of shitty design. But it's what we could afford at the time, years ago. Kind of like it does not owe me anything. I have two. But the other is only a 21 ton. Anyway. A new cylinder is more serviceable down the road, but the design still sucks. IF I can afford a 30 ton in the future...

The .460S&W magnum will shoot the .454 Casull with low recoil and .45LongColt +P rounds very light recoil. Full power .460S&W magnum rounds are absolutely not a novelty, and not a gun to let beginners shoot.

Those things are so sweet.

Kind of looks like a type of snap ring in there. I know the box store type splitters are built to discourage repairs. It’s been a great day. Easy crane removals and then lots of work at the house. Kids all rode around on the four wheelers while the wife and I tended to the garden. Had hot...

There's a guy on YouTube that has a high powered air rifle with a night scope camera where all he does is kill rats. Seems unbelievably effective and fun :lol: They also have a repeater trap that drops their bodies so other animals can carry them away, and would only need shoveling their bodies...

Working on a roadside maintenance and fire mitigation project. We have had lots of late season snow this year. The 718E is a great machine. There are times that we could use more reach, but a bigger machine would take up the entire road.

Nice easy crane removals in a retirement community today. I even dusted off my spurs and harness today for the first one. Chased the pill the entire time and kept the ground busy. Felt good but I’m paying for it now. I think I’m going to charge an admission fee for the show next time we’re in...

The log dolly is really a great tool to have for moving logs. But it is border line too heavy to move by hand, two guys or mini. The foam filled tires really added the weight to it. But seam to take the weight of the logs well with good floatation. I’ve never used the handle I made and probably...

The longer barrel soaks up a lot of recoil, making high powered loadings much more comfortable to shoot.

I may buy the Smith & Wesson 460 magnum revolver. Taurus makes some too but even though Taurus is a lot less expensive, I like the stainless finish of the Smith & Wesson offerings. The Smith & Wesson 500 mag is technically more powerful, but just slightly at the muzzle and the two are a...

That's a nice piece of history there, thanks for sharing! I can imagine after thousands of years of tying knots, it much be hard to come up with a new one these days.

A can of Wegmans brand Italian wedding "soup" and some cheese toast(Italian bread and Appenzeller cheese). Why the quotes on "soup"? The can was a solid mass of pasta with some meatballs and carrot pieces in it. Almost no liquid. I had to add water to heat it up, and the flavor was kind of...

I use olive oil on my leather. Seems to work as well as anything, and it's nothing extra to purchase.

Looks nice! Are those typical tools you carry for pipefitting? Were it mine, I'd be hitting that dry looking leather with boot grease (Obenaufs ;) )

The first known presentation of the Blake's hitch was made by Heinz Prohaska in an Austrian guides periodical in 1981; in 1990, he presented it in a caving journal, Nylon Highway. Hence, back then it was called the "Prohaska hitch" which was shorted to "ProhGrip." Separately, Jason Blake...

I don't know. My networking has always been very weak. Stuff's like voodoo. Most things JustWork™, so I haven't delved in to really figure it out.

Hey man, I know that we've been chatting for years here on The House and you told me your real name a long time ago. Just wondering if this is Rob Thigpen?

I think I just managed to mentally work out in my head how I feel about the seasons. My adoration for colder weather (Fall/Winter) stems mostly from how much better it is for me physiologically (70%), where I can do activities without sweating profusely. There also being a lot of nostalgia and...

That's pretty cool, do we know who or when those names came about?
