[00:56:11] <rue_bed> they rewrite themselfs
[00:56:20] <katsmeow> i never put Tiggr back together after the Fla debacle
[00:56:43] <katsmeow> one puter refused to boot when i got back up here
[01:04:52] <katsmeow> scifi movie has a organism that gradually replaces the host with it's own cells, cell-for-cell, but they haven't explained how that helps it in any way, since it all works identically
[02:21:02] <katsmeow> bad weather tomorrow, i may be offline

[21:33:47] <katsmeow> http://designerthinking.com/images/DSCF6726m.jpg <<=== mod'd to run at voltages higher than 15v
[21:34:49] <katsmeow> i might think of causing the pull down transistors to auto-limit to 10ma, instead of picking current limiting resistors
[21:34:53] <rue_house> hi
[21:34:57] <katsmeow> hi
[21:34:57] <rue_house> I fixed the dryer
[21:35:00] <rue_house> there is heat now
[21:35:02] <rue_house> so it seems
[21:35:04] <rue_house> for now
[21:35:15] <katsmeow> dryer heats the house?
[21:35:24] <rue_house> I was going to test the old ignighter, but instead I threw it across the room,
[21:35:28] <rue_house> live 120V...
[21:35:49] <rue_house> you already said, you took it up to 100V
[21:35:54] <katsmeow> rookie mistake, rue
[21:35:57] <rue_house> yea
[21:36:07] <rue_house> throwing the ignighter across the room did it in
[21:36:20] <rue_house> so I put in the one I found from the scrap yard
[21:36:31] <rue_house> and it lit the dryer 3/3 times
[21:36:43] <katsmeow> good
[21:36:46] <rue_house> I'll buy a spare anyhow
[21:37:24] <katsmeow> there's humans who wills crap a perfectly good Whatever because they don't like the color any more
[21:37:39] <katsmeow> err,, will scrap
[21:38:32] <katsmeow> my car killed it's battery last nite, it's got an unknown electrical issue
[21:38:42] <katsmeow> prolly a complicaton of mice
[21:39:08] <katsmeow> that $%^&#%$ possum was eating all the mouse food i put out
[21:39:32] <katsmeow> they stripped nearly all the insulation off the firewall and the underside of the hood too
[21:42:27] <rue_house> hmm
[21:42:49] <rue_house> you should train them to only want to eat god food ;)
[21:43:16] <katsmeow> and i'd need to cut a hole int he fence to let them over to where that food is
[21:43:45] <rue_house> maybe a thrown sprinkling in the right direction
[21:44:10] <rue_house> how big are they?
[21:44:19] <rue_house> about the size of your hand, aren't they?
[21:44:29] <rue_house> we dont have them out here
[21:44:41] <katsmeow> possums? no, their body is larger than a chiuhuhhuoea
[21:44:57] <katsmeow> lower to the ground, l ike a wiener dog
[21:45:06] <katsmeow> can climb trees about like a cat
[21:45:48] <katsmeow> can be very mean, got a mouthfull or teeth, like a fox
[21:45:57] <rue_house> hmm
[21:46:20] <rue_house> can you make a catapault trap that flings them over the fence?
[21:46:38] <rue_house> like a mouse trap, but kinda backwards
[21:46:45] <rue_house> and obviously bigger
[21:47:10] <katsmeow> they'd get me for cruelty to animals
[21:47:43] <katsmeow> my roof leaks now in many places because it wold be cruel to the gods to maintain the place, or finish it
[21:47:54] <rue_house> chupacabra?
[21:48:06] <katsmeow> ?
[21:48:13] <rue_house> chiuhuhhuoea?
[21:48:15] <rue_house> chupacabra?
[21:48:22] <katsmeow> mixican dog
[21:48:26] <katsmeow> mexican
[21:48:38] <katsmeow> aka rat dog
[21:49:20] <rue_house> there are a growing number of palces out here with tarps on the roofs
[21:49:58] <katsmeow> because it's illegal to annoy a dog by completing construction?
[21:51:23] <rue_house> its unfair to present problems to me that I cant help you with
[21:51:33] <rue_house> what can we work on?
[21:52:13] <katsmeow> brb
[21:55:31] <katsmeow> bak

[21:59:47] <Tom_itx> no, just sounded like you needed a project
[22:00:18] <rue_house> not really, I wanted to help kat with something to generate a positive note
[22:01:27] <katsmeow> find me a safe place i can put a boat into the water, and leave the car/truck while i am out floating around
[22:01:28] <Tom_itx> been drawing some of those for something to do
[22:01:43] <katsmeow> and where i can safely leave the boat while i am drivng the car/truck
[22:01:46] <rue_house> cant help much, everywhere I know is in canada
[22:03:42] <katsmeow> well, i cannot go outside without a gun, i cannot make any sounds outside , cannot make much noise inside, cannot take the trash ut of the house, cannot shower inside, have not changed th car oil in 5 years, have not changed the truck oil since i got it,
[22:04:17] <katsmeow> etc te etc, because of dogs, and it's on my mnd when i have a leaky roof ,,, that's what i need help with
[22:05:11] <katsmeow> when knowing if the dog barks, and police fnd veggies in the house, i must be crawlng around int he woods to tease the dogs (aka have a garden)...... so i have not bought veggies or fruit in 10+ years
[22:05:32] <katsmeow> hell, i am afraid to brush my teeht
[22:05:48] <katsmeow> my water was shut off over 3 yrs ago
[22:06:04] <katsmeow> i drink filtered rainwater
[22:07:29] <katsmeow> soon as it's warm weather, i can shower up on the roof again, which will only make the leaks worse
[22:08:04] <rue_house> yea and I can tell you lots of things that wont help you at all
[22:08:11] <rue_house> so what can we do?
[22:09:17] <katsmeow> you are in that group of poeple who are not me, i hope someone in that group will figure ut what can be helpful against the others int hat greup who are hurting me
[22:09:49] <katsmeow> so mint got hacked last nite
[22:09:57] <rue_house> Tom_itx, I know what that is, its a steady for a horizontal milling machine
[22:10:13] <rue_house> I heard

[22:10:42] <rue_house> kat, I am in your group of people, who dont think anything like the other group
[22:11:09] <rue_house> I would never get rid of something just cause its old, I get rid of things when they cant be kept working
[22:11:20] <rue_house> I cant sell things worth a dan at work
[22:11:29] <rue_house> I just dont understand how people think
[22:11:49] * katsmeow nods
[22:12:01] <rue_house> we started installing securrity systems
[22:12:21] <rue_house> installing a secirrity system seems like paranoia to me
[22:12:29] <Tom_itx> rue_house, which one?
[22:12:41] <rue_house> which system?
[22:12:45] <katsmeow> i got rid of apcb drilelr because other people didn't like he color, every day i see two boxes of bits on the shelf
[22:12:55] <Tom_itx> <rue_house> Tom_itx, I know what that is, its a steady for a horizontal milling machine
[22:13:02] <rue_house> katsmeow, you should secretly resume work on it
[22:13:11] <rue_house> that pdf
[22:13:49] <rue_house> maybe not, but I'm sure I'v seen it somewhere before
[22:14:24] <Tom_itx> that had alot more than just one drawing in it
[22:27:44] <zhanx> Evening

[22:30:21] <katsmeow> front outer wheel bearing locked on the suburban, spin on the spindle, grooved it, i got a replacement spndle, neighbors moved in with dogs, it's all been sitting out there since, unfixed
[22:30:27] <katsmeow> dual
[22:31:20] <zhanx> Dana 44. Tomorrow I shake it down and see if a wheel bearing caused it, but I have stage 8 x locks in it.
[22:32:05] <katsmeow> remove wheel, pull one bolt, lift the caliper off, see what moves
[22:32:22] <zhanx> True
[22:32:51] <zhanx> Will carefully drive I to work tomorrow, garage Is heated
[22:33:07] <katsmeow> make sure the caliper is free to slide

[22:34:41] <zhanx> No, I can drive it to work. I know it's touchy, so clutch is my brake
[22:35:18] <zhanx> Plus they deliver parts to my shop
[22:35:30] <katsmeow> can you even see it, see if a worn pad has cocked?
[22:35:54] <zhanx> I can feel it , pads are new yesterday
[22:36:42] <katsmeow> the guy who had mu gmc before me, had bent the slides on the capiler guides to they couldn't, so it always wore one pad,,,, and on two rotors it wore the rotor down to paperthin
[22:36:43] <zhanx> I just slapped new pads on. End result is bad caliper
[22:37:55] <zhanx> I am ordering new everything tomorrow. Pads rotors, csliper, u joints
[22:38:03] <zhanx> And seals
[22:38:04] <katsmeow> i had to replace two rotors and all pads on the rear, when finally got the truck up in the air after a blown tire
[22:38:28] <zhanx> In about 4 hours I should have a rebuild front axle
[22:38:38] <katsmeow> couldn't do it here, and new rules in Fla meant i could not fix it there either

[23:04:01] <zhanx> Can feel it coming in here
[23:05:25] <rue_house> as soon as I put clothes in the dryer it stopped lighting the heater
[23:06:30] <zhanx> Rue _ house I can now park in handicap parking spots :)
[23:06:54] * katsmeow ponders flattening zhanx's tires
[23:07:28] <zhanx> Actually I aired them from 15 psi to 32 today don't
[23:07:42] <zhanx> I only have a bike pump
[23:07:58] <katsmeow> really? i let air out when there's ice and snow on the road, specially bia-ply tires
[23:08:01] <katsmeow> bias
[23:08:38] <zhanx> Bias also. Didn't check the forecast
[23:08:46] <katsmeow> the reason the blue icon is in the shape of a wheelchair, is some people who need to use wheelchairs need those spots
[23:09:01] <zhanx> Normal in winter is 15psi
[23:09:06] <rue_house> now I have a whole freaking load of laundry to pamper for 20 hours in the dryer while it dosn't dry
[23:09:14] <katsmeow> so why did you air themt o 32?
[23:09:47] <katsmeow> rue, while the dryer sucks the air from inside the house and blows it outside? i woldn't
[23:10:04] <katsmeow> wb
[23:10:07] <zhanx> Hey I earned my spot I didn't eat my way there like some of them
[23:10:07] <katsmeow> so why did you air themt o 32?
[23:10:24] <zhanx> Ice tomorrow and rain
[23:10:33] <katsmeow> simple test: does walking cause you pain?
[23:10:35] <zhanx> No snow
[23:11:25] <katsmeow> reall, i have been in Walmart here, with 2 doz blue parking out front, all full, and no one else in a wchair in the whole freaking store
[23:11:56] <katsmeow> so i am parked whay the hell out in the far end, 1/4 mile away
[23:14:12] <zhanx> Kat I doubt my lifted pos will ever take a blue spot
[23:16:08] <katsmeow> after they opened that VA "rest home" here, i am still waiting on a disabled vet to pull out a pistol and blow away some idiot who insists the vet needs help
[23:16:29] <zhanx> Lol

[23:41:53] <katsmeow> well rue, looks like the next mods will be to make fake pnp with szilakai power npns
[23:44:39] <rue_house> but weren't you just making a 15V charger?
[23:46:13] <katsmeow> i stupidly thought a hv version would be useful to you as a switcher
[23:46:37] <rue_house> hmm, its only 36V
[23:46:55] <katsmeow> ok, then use TIPxxx
[23:47:23] <katsmeow> i might wanna switcher off the top (or bottom) of a stack of 8 car batteries some day
[23:50:53] <katsmeow> well, i can fake that too, using the top battery as the fet gate power, not the entire stack
[23:51:07] <rue_house> Tom_itx, can you find "D is for droid" in the logs?
[23:51:13] <rue_house> maybe a year or two ago?
