Yeah when I would mow the lawn for my dad I would egde the sidewalk with an old steak knife it never made him happy
In my high school, they just called it Shop class. I learned welding (pre-arc -- I'm old -- everything was acetylene back then), was the first to drive the brand new Massey Ferguson tractor (tricycle style) out to plow a field, woodworking, etc. I loved it, even though I was considered by my classmates to be a "city kid" (I lived inside the city limits of a 400 population village in Orygun). I was a member of FFA and 4H, but the only animals I owned were a cat and a Banty rooster who rode around on my shoulder.
Back then, even us "city kids" were not snowflakes.
We called it Shop too....I guess the technical name was industrial arts.In my high school, they just called it Shop class.

Yeah when I was in shop class I learned to weild with a stick weilder then I taught myself to wire weild on my own
Same here...I'd bet you couldn't find one kid out of 100,000 who knows the first thing about welding
I'd bet there isn't 1:100,000 that has even heard the word "welding."
Maybe Sarah should teach classes... extra income.

I aced basic metal shop. Could be why I figured I could learn to weld. Making chisels and funnels was about as basic as you could get. Incidentally, beating up a boy in shop earned me my only suspension. I did it right in front of the teacher and the principal. Those boys learned I didn't take any shit from anyone.
Are you a redhead by any chance? My redhead used to tear cars apart and put them together again and she was a pretty damn good drag racer too. She hung out with that crowd and the boys treated her like "one of the guys."
Yeah they only know how to push buttons and nothing about real work. When I was 14 I was caught smoking by my dad he bought a carton of Marlboros and made me smoke them in front of him one after another till they were gone then asked me if I wanted another and I said yes so until I met Sarah and started vaping
G'night Dale I am right behind you
Nope, I'm a blonde, but I am a redneck. I hung out in the smoking lounge. You know you're an old part if your school had a smoking lounge for students.
That came after I was out of school by years, bet rich didn't have them either
No, we didn't. The teachers had a smoking lounge, but the students, if they had big enough balls to do so, just went outside. I would never allow anyone, other than my closest friends, to see me smoking until after I joined the USAF (1967). I am pretty sure that even my mother didn't know I smoked until then, and I started stealing her Marlboros out of the refrigerator (well, tobacco is a vegetable, she said) when I was 12.
I'll probably be pulling weeds tomorrow too, but I have to try to get that damn splitter working first, so I'm guessing I'll be sitting in the hot pulling up the purslane, mallow, and bind weed.
G.nite Jimi ... and Dale too.
Guess it is time for me to turn in too. Yak at y'all tomorrow.
Yep heating with wood warms you up several times for each log you throw in the stove.
Not sure that I want any details on that
Good news. Phillip fixed the mod the fucktard at the vape shop fucked up.
OK, is this really just a load of shit?All right Pharts - I just built my first ever prototype for proof-of-concept composting toilet for #2 only
If not it will be
He knew how to fuck it up.

It's for a load or two
If it works as well as the University of YouTube claims, I will modify it for all toilet needs
So when do you plan to send the specs, drawings, and prototype to the patent office?
Anything exciting happen in your neck of the woods, Rich?
Rain on and off all day here, which is really odd...but it cooled things off significantly, until the sun starts cooking the water tomorrow, then it's steam bath time.

Interesting Juice....your surely inquisitive...All right Pharts - I just built my first ever prototype for proof-of-concept composting toilet for #2 only
Not to my knowledge.

Well it will be easier to see if it would be practical for the new digs here in my old house - if I don't think I can live with it, its better to know now than after I've committed
Mr Juicy wanted us to go with them about 20 years ago, but I was not into it. Now I want to explore it and he thinks I'm crazy
Well I bet you get along just fine, one day you think he's crazy, the next it's you.....Well it will be easier to see if it would be practical for the new digs here in my old house - if I don't think I can live with it, its better to know now than after I've committed

I got Bruno Mars ticket at aloha stadium!
Handmade coils hit to hard for me unlike factory coils
Your not making the correct coil then.
Make some 1.8 ohm coils, vape at 8-10 watts
Could you send me a video on how to build the right coil
A funny thing happened on the way to the official forecast. Yesterday, the NWS said it was gonna rain like hell all day Saturday and Sunday, but this morning they changed their minds (as if they even have a mind outside of their damn computer models) and decided that it would be overcast here all day, but probably wouldn't rain at all. So guess what happened. Yeah, been raining almost all day. Lannie got a bit of garden work done this morning, but by the time I got done staring into my coffee cup and decided that perhaps consciousness had finally come upon me, it was too late to do anything outside.
So I went into the shop to work on that stupid electric splitter. As I said yesterday, the motor was running, but the hydraulics weren't working, so I located the proper size allen wrench and unscrewed the dip stick. Hmmm... there are no markings on it, so I put in some oil until I figured that ought to be enough, then opened the air vent, then plugged it in. The hydraulics worked for five seconds, then the motor blew the circuit breaker. Hmmm... didn't do that yesterday. I reset and turned it on again. POP! Reset. POP! Reset. POP! OK, that's enough of that bullshit. Now I am searching for a service manual. This piece of shit out to be easier to figure out than this. Hmmmm... I wonder if it will flush down Lucy's new toilet?
We don't have a tester to know if it is a 1.8ohm coil
I don't have any videos. Just make a high ohm coil...use www.streamengine.org
Oh wow....I thought I could hear cursing coming from the north......
What kind of mod are you using?
I have a wraith squonk mod

Ya know, cheap VOMs (volt-ohm meters) can be had a Wally World or Harbor Freight for around $10. And Steam Engine (use Dale's link) can give you an approximation... 10 wraps around a certain size rod of #26ga kanthal wire will be approximately X Ohms. The actual Ohms doesn't matter that much... whether it comes out 1.5 or 2.0 or 2.5, adjust your mod's Watts setting to make a nice flavor... 5, 7, 10 Watts.
I am using 2.0 Ohm coils that vary over time of use from 1.8 to 2.1 and I just adjust my Watts to make the taste right for me... somewhere between 5.0 and 12. One does not have to fear that this is rocket science. Just make your adjustments to whatever your tongue tells you tastes right.
I got tickets for both.. we going to the first one.. and giving the tix to gfs mom on the second..
Did it online and today I was waiting for a while before I got in to be able to purchase
