21:54 katsmeow-afk why are the cats looking at my cursor?
21:56 katsmeow-afk it's the .js , damni forgot i had that enabld for ingur
22:03 rue_house hmm
22:06 katsmeow-afk took 30 minutes opening up 3 of the grinders to give them a sip of 90wt oil before winter happens
22:06 katsmeow-afk discovered part of a tooth missng on one, can't find it
22:07 katsmeow-afk might have happened yrs ago and i already had removed it
22:07 katsmeow-afk first thing i do when getting a HF grinder is open it and add grease and oil, because they come with none
22:08 rue_house eek
22:08 rue_house I wonder if it already ate it
22:08 rue_house yea, I added some 90wt to one of my grinders and its the only one of them still alive
22:09 rue_house the grease is pointless, it just flings out to the sides and stays there
22:09 katsmeow-afk yeas
22:09 rue_house I need more griders, I currenly have no spares
22:10 katsmeow-afk HF is having a 1/2 sale in Nov

22:13 rue_house http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/powerfist-12-ton-shop-press/A-p8604639e
22:13 rue_house I dont think I can build one that cheap
22:14 rue_house ouch $64 for a small ginder
22:15 rue_house ah, 50... 40...
22:15 katsmeow-afk i said HarborFreight
22:15 rue_house oh, I figured out why my truck was starting so hard
22:15 rue_house the starter is dead
22:15 katsmeow-afk oh
22:16 rue_house it makes the truck hard to start
22:16 katsmeow-afk diddle with the brushes
22:16 rue_house its a light truck, but its NOT LIGHT
22:16 rue_house I couldn't push it back into the driveway with my mower
22:16 rue_house had to use the comalong
22:17 katsmeow-afk 12v winch, silly
22:17 rue_house hahah yoru right, I have a 120V winch I forgot about
22:17 rue_house however, its parked now
22:18 katsmeow-afk 120v? the kind that kills you when you use it in the rain?
22:18 rue_house I have it scheduled to go to the shop on the 9th
22:18 rue_house I suppose it'll have to go by tow
22:18 rue_house I dont think I can change the starter here
22:19 rue_house dont know I want tot try, that said, its stuck in the driveway anyhow
22:19 rue_house Idont have a hf, I just have pa
22:19 rue_house http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/4-1-2-in-angle-grinder/A-p8534984e
22:19 rue_house thats as low as it gets
22:19 katsmeow-afk it's only 2 bolts, what else have you got to do?
22:19 rue_house laying in the mud and the grease and the blood
22:20 katsmeow-afk plywood!
22:20 rue_house you could tempt my to try
22:20 rue_house 3 wires, 2 bolts
22:21 rue_house 1 set of stripped knuckes
22:21 katsmeow-afk as low as it gets : http://www.harborfreight.com/4-12-in-43-amp-angle-grinder-69645.html
22:21 rue_house thats low
22:22 katsmeow-afk this looks like what i get locally, but it's more red, mine are more orange : http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-4-1-2-half-inch-angle-grinder-91223.html
22:23 rue_house canadian tire had them on sale for $30
22:23 rue_house was there soemthing better about it?
22:24 rue_house ... a two pack for $60
22:24 katsmeow-afk the orange? better materials, looked longer lasting, and so far , in 15 yrs, i have killed only one
22:24 katsmeow-afk and i admit i was abusing it
22:24 katsmeow-afk had welding gloves on, didn't notice how hot it was till it smoked
22:25 tsmeow-afk appologised and is sorry abou
22:25 rue_house heh
22:25 rue_house I dont think angle grinders ever dont get abused
22:26 katsmeow-afk i had it mounted in a jig and was making a perfectly round steel disk with it
22:26 e_house
22:26 katsmeow-afk one hand on grinder, one to turn the disk
22:26 rue_house I'm gonna go see if the pumpkin candle went out
22:27 katsmeow-afk like when i made the disk for rotating a generator as it was running
22:28 katsmeow-afk Rugged cast aluminum gear case takes a pounding <<== heh, except the main big bearing on the output shaft is seated in plastic, that whole piece is plastic
22:29 katsmeow-afk you can see the color difference if you zoom into the pic on the webpage
22:31 katsmeow-afk http://i.imgur.com/blO6w4n.jpg
22:34 rue_house hahah
22:35 rue_house I presume they were ok in the end
22:35 katsmeow-afk i dunno
22:35 katsmeow-afk might have been more swollen in the end than the front
22:36 rue_house heh
22:37 rue_house do you think I can make a press better than that 12 ton one?
22:37 rue_house for less?
22:38 katsmeow-afk url ?
22:38 rue_house http://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/powerfist-12-ton-shop-press/A-p8604639e
22:40 katsmeow-afk i can, if i use only steel i already have, jack i already have
22:40 rue_house k, maybe buying one of a good idea for me
22:40 katsmeow-afk the holes in the steel would be a problem, but welding stop blocks and using those instead of holes would be easy
22:40 Tom_itx what's up with the truck now?
22:41 rue_house I blamed the engine, from what I can tell, the starter is whats hooped
22:41 katsmeow-afk plus s&h rue
22:41 rue_house it went pretty quick, it can barely turn over right now
22:41 rue_house katsmeow-afk, yea I'd need to go pick it up
22:41 rue_house thats $100 ferry
22:41 katsmeow-afk i say one of the brushes has worn down and not making contact
22:42 rue_house they are redundant bruishes, I think that one was the last
22:42 rue_house I think all startes are 4 pole
22:42 katsmeow-afk redundant? they need all 4 to turn the engine over
22:42 Tom_itx i had to change 1 starter on mine during it's life
22:43 rue_house 350000km?
22:43 Tom_itx probably
22:43 rue_house its been bad a while I'd not be surprised if the commutator is duff now
22:44 Tom_itx i still got the old one if you want it
22:44 rue_house heh
22:44 rue_house I wish shipping were easier
22:44 Tom_itx mine was a v6.. may not be the same one
22:45 rue_house I think the v6 is a mirror of the engine arrangement
22:49 rue_house I wonder what a starter is worth
22:50 Tom_itx apparently not much
22:50 Tom_itx they didn't want it back
22:53 katsmeow-afk some do, the recycler here takes them off engines and stores them, and not just for me
23:02 rue_house ooo
23:02 rue_house http://sunshine.craigslist.ca/hvo/5211188418.html

23:02 e_house gets all stressed
23:03 e_house points at it, turns to kat, and says "its even got a thumb
23:03 katsmeow-afk drat, i didn't know you needed one

23:04 katsmeow-afk oh

23:06 katsmeow-afk set them on end, 4 of them, tall workshop space for the mecha
23:06 rue_house I was thinking a boat for someone
23:07 katsmeow-afk they don't float
23:07 katsmeow-afk i think those are $1400 in every major port city?
23:08 rue_house oh
23:09 rue_house http://sunshine.craigslist.ca/boa/5256016997.html
23:09 rue_house hmm, a free trip to fancouver... less fuel, and maintenance
23:09 m_itx suggests rue_house stay off craigs
23:09 Tom_itx it may cost you money
23:10 rue_house I just wanted to see if there was a press :(

23:16 rue_house work supplies me with a work van
23:16 rue_house that they have me bring home
23:17 katsmeow-afk will they grease the electrical connections during reassy so they don't corrode away when wet?
23:17 rue_house I dont think any kids are gonna come for my candy
23:18 katsmeow-afk you need publicity, next yr have the mechan stomping around holding a glowing pumkin and screeching "free candy here!"
23:18 rue_house "and if that dosn't work?"
23:19 rue_house rofl

23:24 rue_house baked pumpkin seeds are like wood chips, soaked in oil and covered in salt

23:27 rue_house hmm
23:27 rue_house Ig ot a rebuild from the building store that theywere getting rid of for $100, when you load it, it soundsl ike its going to explode
23:28 katsmeow-afk the thing about "emergency" or "portable" gennys, is they are made to last a few hrs, i think that guy has used his for weeks at a time in a hunting lodge
23:28 rue_house I have 3 gens right now

23:49 katsmeow-afk yeaaaaa, i didn't save that page
23:49 zhanx I would love to see that
