Cut all my pieces for my new upper shock mounts. While drinking. The lines aren't straight. But that's what a grinder is for.
Along the line is 100 thousandths and each line between is 0.025. Around the dial is thousandths. You add the dial to what shows on the line. Looks like 0.5455 on the dial currently.Does anyone know how to read one of these? It used to belong to my grandfather. I grabbed it from the tool box to measure the shank on my upper shock bolts. Only to realize I have no ufcking clue how to decipher the miriad of numbers on it.

Cool, my grandad had something like that but never saw him use it. Now I've got fancy digitals.Does anyone know how to read one of these? It used to belong to my grandfather.

ufcking dog. And also, my ufcking dad.
I was out in the garage when this happened.
I came inside and dad (who's sitting on the couch like the sloth he is) says to me, "Coal (the old lab) was scratching at the carpet by the back door and making wierd sounds."
Im like, "OK so you didn't let him out. Let me turn on the light."
The largest pile of dog vomit I've ever seen!
So he REALLY wanted to go outside and vomit. But my dad is a ufcking moron and just ignored him instead of investigating the noise.
So I'm ufcking shampooing carpet. I had to get a damn shovel to clean the shiat up. Like could you not just come and let me know what's going on? You have to sit your fat ass on my couch and do nothing?
UFCK! I can't wait to get the basement apartment done.
Get the ufck out of my house and into your hole.
I wish i could be the guy with one project and one focus and put all my money and time in that.I'm back up to 6 and looking at 3 more....
And that's just motorized crap....
I like my kids being involved hence the new quad obsession. And with 3 kids, that's a minimum 4 machines.I wish i could be the guy with one project and one focus and put all my money and time in that.
I dont see it happening, but I wish.
That makes a ton of sense. If I had kids I would be the exact same way. No greater joy than working on something then ripping ass around on / in it knowing you fixed it. Hell yeah.I like my kids being involved hence the new quad obsession. And with 3 kids, that's a minimum 4 machines.
Yeah. The Blonde is getting a crash course in Kawasaki, as am I. I'm hoping she appreciates it later in life after the "preteen" and "teen" stages are over.That makes a ton of sense. If I had kids I would be the exact same way. No greater joy than working on something then ripping ass around on / in it knowing you fixed it. Hell yeah.
I did a lot of farm maintenance. My Dad filled my head full of drag car stuff but didn't spend much time helping me build that stuff. Got into rock crawling with a fellow gear head in college and been headed down this road since then.You could 100% kidnap me with Cheez-its. No shiat.
One of my best friends son, he's basically socially awkward, but with a project, that kid has LASER sharp focus that i envy. An old beetle project they are tearing apart is basically the only way he gets him out of his bedroom and away from the xbox. Hahaha
I wish I would have had that type upbringing where my dad wanted to spend time in the garage like that. Priceless memories.
Ha! The only farm stuff I worked on was "hey follow this trailer and pick up those square bales" or "climb this ladder with these shingles on your shoulder. now repeat x 200 or until you die"I did a lot of farm maintenance.

We were always working on stuff but it just wasn't as much fun by myself. That's one thing I'm trying to correct with my girls. I try to be involved in what they do and drag them along for what I do. My girls all day they can "out boy" the boys they're normally around and if that I have no doubt.
I took mechanics as an elective in high school. And have been working on cars since. I just wish I didn’t live in an area where they use so much salt in the winters. Definately adds a different challenge to fixing your vehicles

Put some decent cheese on there and we'll talk.ftfy
Nevermind. I found it.Hey @maillet282 what hinge did you use on your tire carrier? I can't find the thread
I just run Resolve on my Windows rig as well. I used to dual-boot, but Linux didn't get much use on it if I were running to the office most of the time anyway for work, so maintaining it was getting annoying, and the video editing for me is just a hobby anyway. The office uses Premiere because the video editing noobs around here can't figure out Resolve, and I'm just tech support, so I can run whatever I want.Running several Linux boxes here! My firewall is a celeron box running pfsense.
Storage server is an i7-920 running proxmox with a 24tb zfs array, and I've got plex, radar, sonar, transmission all running in docker containers on an Ubuntu server build, running on an old hp microserver!
I had to give up Linux on my editing rig though. I discovered resolve on Linux can't read aac audio stored in mp4 files due to a licensing issue. I'm not transcoding all my footage (that would eat up tons of usable space), so I just run windows on that machine.
Yeah, that’s actually a legit concern. I’m on stock springs that were already flattened and put in an AAL, but last week when we went camping then off-roading the next day with the full load I bottomed out the rear a couple times, and with the stock bump stops it’s a pretty jarring experience. I’m also worried my wimpy leaf springs are prematurely wearing out my new shocks. I’m debating between General Springs HD with the same AAL or just OME or ADO springs.
A body lift or more suspension lift would be nice for headroom under the awning, but even at my height getting kayaks up on the roof is already a royal pain in the butt (especially after being on the water all day with tired arms). I really don’t want to push it up higher.

This is true.With the addition of bacon you could adopt Kirk !!
Looks like eigths on the shaft or 32nds on the dial(I'm guessing it goes to 32) so you're at 5/8 + a little less than 2/32nds. or between 20/32 and 21/32 per the dail.Does anyone know how to read one of these?

But you now have an excuse for "Office Old Bay"^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Never saw that before , Lol
At some point, I want to virtualize the firewall. When that happens, I'll likely switch to opnsense.I just run Resolve on my Windows rig as well.

I tend to run Gentoo if I can, Ubuntu keeps changing things for no real good reason and it was getting annoying. And I like having the control. Also, I am probably mostly insane...
Next time you do a firewall update/rebuild, you might want to look into OpnSense. The company behind pf has started doing a bunch of retarded things.
Take an old one to NAPA and have them get them for you. They have a great selection.Pulled the trigger on the ADO Performance Leaf Packs. I’ll set them to heavy and possibly look at changing out bump stops.
Anybody know of a reputable online place for cheap U-bolts? Mine are the 9/16” zinc coated squared version. There are a million results online with a wide range of prices, but I want to avoid junk while also avoiding paying ridiculous markup just because they’re sold by an “offroad” company.
