First trail of 2025. Did pretty well, considering how bad I was last fall. Feeling awesome right now. Turrets is some storm damage to deal with. I was also stalked by the Hound of The Baskervilles.:lol: Every time I turned around, he was a little closer, but pretended he was just sniffing a...

He wasn't taking a nap. I guarantee he had his pants down when they started rolling.

Meanwhile, in Scotland:

WTF? I'm beginning to think being a caveman was safer.

I know someone who git all the kids in school to time their toilet flushes in the entire school. He calculated the distance of the water main to be about five miles. When all the toilets shut off at the same time, that five mile column had nowhere to go. Blown water main outside the school. 60...

However, in a water ram system, you can increase effective head pressure by coiling the inlet pipe. This increases the water column without raising the actual vertical distance due to it being a dynamic system.

1'=.434 psi or 27.708"= 1 psi. A handy way to find the elevation of a gravity fed spring. My plumber used it often when he was in business.

How'd it go today? Pretty darn well. Weather was good. Mud is receding. A friend passed a small welding repair job to me. Things are moving steadily forward. I went to the sawmill with my Milwaukee bandsaw to harvest some scrap metal to build a battery tray and turned my internet on in time to...

It's hard to have too many tools. Too many tools in the back of your Golf? I think I might be on the cusp of finding out, as they say. :/:

There aren't many shops like yours around here anymore. One big one closed about ten years ago when the father died. Someone asked a friend of mine, a next door neighbor, what they did there. He said, what everyone else can't. And that was when GE was hopping.

There is a snooty grocery store next to my regular store. There's a hole in the fence so the locals can sneak over there without having to park out front. They have a hot bar, which sometimes has something I might find tasty. I got some lentil Dahl, aloo Gobi, and a few tandoori green beans. I...

At the ski area 20 something years ago we had Jose and a Hose B. They worked for the ski area, but were secretly building the boss a house in another state. :lol:

I've quarter sawn sycamore. The flat sawn boards are firewood. Saw fresh.

I'm calling today a win. Last fall I buried a 1" water line from my internet bridge antenna to my board edger. I had stolen the battery from the edger to run my internet. Starting in October there wasn't enough solar to keep the battery maintained. It's not a deep cycle. I figured if I hooked...

Today's faith in the human race story:

There was a gas station that killed about fifteen trucks with water. They tried denying it, but there was atraio of dead trucks starting in their parking lot, and going down the road. They bought a lot of expensive common rail fuel systems that day.

I know there are some Far Side fans here. This is cool.

Wasn't sure if this should go in the RIP thread, but I guess everyone will figure it out.
