00:07 rue_shop3 wow
00:08 rue_shop3 so it was siezed
00:08 rue_shop3 there was a squirrel nest in the chamber
00:08 rue_shop3 not the usualy siezure method
00:08 rue_shop3 and spark plug was almost completely stripped
00:08 rue_shop3 had to clean the points
00:08 rue_shop3 the carbs everything is clogged and siezed
00:09 rue_shop3 the *UP* pointing muffler, thats end it corroded off, does not want to give up its screws
00:09 rue_shop3 the cylinder looks ok
00:09 rue_shop3 the compression is questionable
00:10 rue_shop3 the oil is there, but it looks more like thin tar
00:10 katsmeow-afk shredder?
00:10 rue_shop3 chipper
00:10 rue_shop3 sorry
00:10 rue_shop3 the recoil on the starter cord was siezed
00:11 rue_shop3 since he got it, he hasn't checked it out
00:11 rue_shop3 its *almost* scrap
00:11 rue_shop3 does 0.2uF on the points cap sound about right?
00:11 katsmeow-afk don't know
00:51 zhanx Evening
00:51 katsmeow-afk heys zhanx
00:51 zhanx Just got home from epic trout fishing
00:51 katsmeow-afk [22:59] <Tom_itx> zhanx would like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quN37YskoaM
00:52 zhanx Saw that before
00:52 katsmeow-afk ok
00:52 katsmeow-afk the people who did it have more videos on youtube
00:54 katsmeow-afk so fishing
00:54 zhanx K, need a new phone due to it
00:54 katsmeow-afk huh?
00:54 katsmeow-afk how did a url cost you a phone?
00:54 zhanx Trout took me to the backing on my fly rod
00:55 zhanx Phone was in my pocket, river got too deep
00:55 zhanx Was chasing it down
00:55 katsmeow-afk oh, i didn't know you went swimming with them
00:56 zhanx Well worth it, 8 pound fish on pound test with a 2 pound leader
00:56 zhanx Aka very much fun
00:56 katsmeow-afk i am guessing i will never understand that
00:57 zhanx Had a buddy tell me he was better at fishing etc, I provided dinner for it
00:59 zhanx Totally neglected my computer but all the updates are done
01:02 katsmeow-afk watchng the last episode of Sarah ConnerChronicles, season 1
01:03 zhanx Don't spoil it, that is 2 down in the queue
01:03 katsmeow-afk ok
01:05 zhanx Watching supernatural now
01:05 katsmeow-afk i can't get past the math: if you have 8 cpus on 2 pcbs, each pcb being .064, you have an inch total of fiberglass board taking up space where you could have more cpus
01:06 zhanx Umm cut holes and mount in them?
01:07 katsmeow-afk pcbs carry the traces
01:07 zhanx But the chip can mount in the pcb
01:07 katsmeow-afk to a imit yeas, it's the olde military way with the gfp carriers
01:07 katsmeow-afk qfp
01:08 zhanx Q f and laying boards on sides
01:11 katsmeow-afk i remember seeing a few pcb from aircraft, with holes, the nuvistor sockets were soldering on the bottom of the pcb and press fit into the pcb, the tube plugged in from the other side
01:12 katsmeow-afk i had a few tubes with no pins, had wire leads, sold them on ebay
01:14 katsmeow-afk have an olde 1940's monitor from army, afraid to power it up
01:14 zhanx I bet
01:14 zhanx Never used tubes
01:15 katsmeow-afk tubes are different
01:16 katsmeow-afk i useto have a few of the ac/dc 5-tube radios, darned good radios for what they were, when tuned up
01:16 rue_house do I get to see a pic?
01:16 katsmeow-afk tube reel-reel , tume fm, tube amplifiers, etc
01:17 katsmeow-afk all my first anything were tubes
01:17 zhanx Pic of what?
01:17 katsmeow-afk pic of a fish?
01:17 zhanx Buy me new phone?
01:18 katsmeow-afk the fish will be diner by then
01:18 katsmeow-afk i got 2 phones for free, no "digital services" tho, $5 mo for one, $10 mo for the other one
01:21 tsmeow-afk updates the vista la
01:21 zhanx Wow
01:21 katsmeow-afk hmm?
01:21 zhanx Vista?
01:21 tsmeow-afk
01:21 katsmeow-afk i didn't do it
01:22 zhanx Go with Linux and peace be with you
01:22 katsmeow-afk it came like that, at a good price for the whole thing : $free
01:22 katsmeow-afk it was "broken" and apparently tech support couldn't fix it, and it bcame out of warentee
01:23 zhanx And prefect ly fine
01:23 katsmeow-afk i "fixed" it, there was a HP power setting that was overriding windoze's power settings, and shutting down teh screen every 10 minutes, at which point the puter became a brick and had to be rebooted
01:24 zhanx Fix so hard
01:25 katsmeow-afk 5 minutes after i gave it a go
01:26 katsmeow-afk there were 4 seemingly unrelated power settings that did affect the screen, pertaining to the finger pad on the keybd, the keybd itself, the battery, the power use, and the keybd itself
01:26 katsmeow-afk one keybd setting was HP, one was M$
01:27 katsmeow-afk and, i forget which, but one cannot be turned off, and will eventually shut downt eh screen again and make me reboot it, but i set it for something like 27,000 hours from now
01:28 katsmeow-afk i figure every 3 yrs i need to do a controlled reboot
01:28 katsmeow-afk but since M$ patches occur more often,a nd need reboots, i'm good
01:29 zhanx True
01:29 katsmeow-afk zhanx , how did that fridge insulation project work ut?
01:29 zhanx Bad
01:29 katsmeow-afk why?
01:30 zhanx It was very hot out..... got tired out it.. not done
01:30 katsmeow-afk oh
01:32 katsmeow-afk i smeared black paint all over the trailer
01:32 zhanx Hot box
01:33 katsmeow-afk [22:51] <katsmeow-afk> http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6606m.jpg

01:33 katsmeow-afk [22:51] <katsmeow-afk> http://designerthinking.com/images/trailer-medium/DSCF6608m.jpg
01:33 katsmeow-afk [22:52] <katsmeow-afk> i have no idea why they are blurry, i wonder if the artificial lites are confusing the camera
01:33 katsmeow-afk [22:52] <katsmeow-afk> the very top surfaces on the rails are not painted because i will be welding the deck down there
01:33 rue_house looks good
01:33 zhanx Looks good
01:33 katsmeow-afk thanks
01:33 zhanx I did put a gas tank in my truck today sucked
01:34 zhanx Bruised a rib I think
01:34 katsmeow-afk got the safety chain ready for it, got the lites today, and reflective tapes
01:35 katsmeow-afk know what helps tons to put tanks back in? cut a hold thru the deck above to run a come-along cable thru
01:35 zhanx No
01:35 katsmeow-afk it's a bad safety issue, gives you seconds to get out if there's an explosion
01:35 zhanx Body is sokid
01:35 zhanx Solid
01:35 katsmeow-afk but in some cases, the hole is there already
01:36 zhanx True
01:36 katsmeow-afk transmission jack helps, if you are on smooth cement and the vehicle is on ramps
01:37 katsmeow-afk i had to remove/put back the tank in the 280 and replces the tank in the suburban
01:37 katsmeow-afk the 280 held water in a depression on top, rusted thru
01:38 katsmeow-afk the suburban held a rock tween the tank and the metal strap holding it up , eventually punched thru and poured out all my gas
01:38 katsmeow-afk rue prolly thinks i spend all my time under vehicles
01:39 katsmeow-afk only as much as i absolutely need to
01:39 rue_house heck no
01:39 rue_house just whent eh interesting ones come up
01:39 katsmeow-afk got to replace an axle in the Probe *again* soon
01:40 katsmeow-afk and brakes all around
01:40 katsmeow-afk and tires this yr
01:41 katsmeow-afk it got fishy on the rain today
01:48 katsmeow-afk ...
01:50 katsmeow-afk http://lowendtalk.com/categories/tutorial
01:52 zhanx Internet hates me
01:52 katsmeow-afk isp disconnects you every hr if you don't do something online
01:53 tsmeow-afk set up a script that is called every 2 minutes : Timer 2 120s delay pingmy
01:54 zhanx Need to
01:55 zhanx Ok bed laters
01:55 katsmeow-afk gnites
01:55 rue_house its only 11:30
01:56 rue_house I want to stay up till 3 agian
01:56 rue_house today I did the kids robotics, took a truckload of plastic to the landfill, picked up and started repari of a chipper
02:05 tsmeow-afk restarts the vista p
02:06 tsmeow-afk clicks on "restart", the puter makes noises and ignores
02:19 tsmeow-afk wavers gn
02:19 katsmeow-afk hopefuly to sleep
10:15 rue_bed know a cure for a strippped spark plug hole?
11:58 rue_house I sent a message out to time traveling archeologist aliens to met me at noon, but I dont know how they will interpert the daylight savings, so I'm not sure when they will show up
12:00 rue_house I suppose somewhere between 11:00 and 1:00
12:35 katsmeow-afk hmm, i wonder why i got the msg
12:37 katsmeow-afk if the plugs will thread and stay in, do nothing, else get started pulling the head, because any threading operation will put swarf into the cylinder if you don't
12:39 katsmeow-afk i dunno that thread adaptors will work, or welding up the hole and putting the oem threads back in, so finding the next size larger plug threads is prolly all you can do, or find a replacement head
20:51 katsmeow-afk taillites mounted, license plate mount holed drilled in wheel well, set up to drill for side marker lite that will also lite the tag, tongue drilled and bolted instead of making tilt release for it now
20:52 katsmeow-afk some cuts made to make more places on the frame friendly to chain hooks, and painted them
