    I lucked out again on the Eclipse.

    Did you see the picture taken from space that showed the round shadow cast by the moon on the face of the earth? THAT was something I've never seen before. It was impressive.

    Ot...ship hits bridge

    What if they were to strategically scuttle a pair of big ships on either side of the new bridge piers, to act as dolphins?

    what's with the usps? i've shipped parts and ordered materials and no dice?

    Right on the money, as usual. The "righties" in here think that since the moderator leans right, it stands to reason that they have free reign to make snide political remarks, uncensored by him and unchallenged by us on the left. Not going to happen. He started it, I'm just here to...

    I see I painted you into a corner on that one, and you had to deflect. He did choose that man, and that man's job was to disrupt the ability to cast votes by mail, and it was to be carried out by disrupting the mail system. Your side (if they manage to overthrow the election this time) is...

    what's with the usps? i've shipped parts and ordered materials and no dice?

    We sure are. Biden neglected to fire Trump plant and post office destroyer Louis DeJoy. DeJoy was the mastermind behind the plan that included dismantling the brand new sorting machines in the hubs to slow down the system and make voting by mail fail. Don't you remember that? Didn't figure...

    OT: Solar Panels for house

    We did vote them out. But, the loser didn't leave and his henchmen tried to overthrow the government.... We can't get anything done governmentally with that party in any position of power, no matter how good of an idea it is. Watch the news and see for yourself.

    Big Machine Tool Pics

    Combination shear/punch from railroad boiler shop... A railroad shop I worked in had one of these as late as 1999. Not in use, but still connected to the 250 vdc rectifier that ran the overhead cranes at the time. Machines were original to the 1914 era building. When I first went to work...

    Well I've never seen anybody explain that you were to put water in the grease gun. I always thought it was stupid to be introducing grease to the inside of a pressure vessel, lol. I've seen grease gun mentioned a thousand times but nobody ever explained that you were pumping water with it.
