09:22 AM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841> well - I modified the pto so the ball detent engauges .370 further in.. Seems to help a lot. The transmission needs to be removed from the mower to replace the pto shaft - so not happening this summer. Maybe a winter project

08:38 PM JT-Mobile: dad and me flew the Cessna 170 down to Harlingen to see the Confederate Air Force show
08:50 PM roycroft: was the confederate air force the reason that us troops had to take over the airports during the revolutionary war?
08:51 PM JT-Mobile: that would predate them...
08:52 PM JT-Mobile: they did change their name a while back
08:52 PM XXCoder: if I recall right some politican or other claimed that is what happened
08:52 PM roycroft: the confederacy predated airplanes by half a century
08:53 PM XXCoder: takeovers that is
08:53 PM roycroft: yes, so is the claim
08:54 PM JT-Mobile: in any case until you walk up to a TBM Avenger you have no idea the size of that single engine torpedo bomber
08:55 PM roycroft: that same politician also claimed that andrew jackson would have prevented the civil war if he had still been president
08:56 PM JT-Mobile: is he related to the one that thought an island in the pacific might tilt over if too many military landed there?
08:57 PM roycroft: of course, i'm sure he meant "andrew jackson's head in a jar", as old hickory had been dead or a dozen years when the civil war broke out
09:00 PM JT-Mobile: I doubt he even knew what he said...
09:00 PM roycroft: it's the same president that blamed canadafor burning the white house a half century beore it existed

11:08 PM solarwind: god damn starrett 18-C, brand new and it doesn't actually engage most of the time
11:08 PM solarwind: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_center_punch )
11:09 PM solarwind: maybe I need to grind a larger flat into the face of the hammer part so it has more of a ledge to bite on to
11:11 PM solarwind: Or maybe the pin spring was assembled the wrong way around
11:11 PM solarwind: It's slightly tapered. I installed it the other way around and it seems to be a lot better
11:23 PM roycroft: the spring tension is adjustable
