Good....Got the fz1 to hit on all 4.
Bad.......But only with external fueling.
Gotta take the carbs off.

Bad News: wall oven stopped heating yesterday.
Bad News: it’s a heavy oven. Was a bitch to pull
Bad News: simple fix (thermal switch) tested fine
Bad News: control board isn’t outputting 220 to the elements.
Good News: control board is a lot cheaper than a new oven!

Did you check breaker? Most electronics pull one leg off to get 120V, and only use 240v for heating elements. It's possible the breaker kicked on one of the legs..

IOTW, Verify you got 240 coming in..

I was AMAZED how much our dead built in weighed.

Good news : My boys all use my tools and my shop.
Bad news : Sometimes one of them does a bonehead moves and breaks a tool.

Good beats bad ... The only thing that I ask my boys to do if they break a tool - Tell me! I dislike finding a broken tool rather than having them come up and say it like a man "I broke your 5"-6" Starrett Mic trying to swat a mosquito." That happened by the way.


Good news : I had awesome shop teachers in high school..
Bad news : Just read in the newspaper that old Bob Lassley, one of the shop teachers, just died last week. He was a helluva good guy. We called him Lassole, and he'd laugh. Damn good man. The only time that he really got mad was the time that my shop partner and I ran a wire over to his shop chair from one of the spark plug wires on the distributor of an inline 6 Chevrolet. I regret losing touch with him after high school.

Good news: CT scan comes back NEGATIVE for cancer.
Bad news: Doctor is stumped on whether or not to do a preempted strike using chemotherapy. The side effects will might leave permanent ringing in my ears.
We could wait three months to do another CT scan but was warned if results come back positive, I could be into stage 4 instantly.

They recommended a second opinion with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

Good news: I'm glad that Seattle has the best cancer hospitals & doctors in the world!

(fingers crossed)

Good news: Rick...You can get used to ringing ears. The other not so much.

Better News: Hall pass from what ever wifey says from here on out.




My ears ring and have been for years....too many visits starting line (15yrs worth) with no ear pro. It wasn't manly back then.

Bad news - started up the grill last night for a brat.... went back in to prep, came back out 5 min later to ice cold grill --- yep, tank went empty.
Good news - I picked up a tank last week KNOWING this was going to happen soon!!!


Bad news - the tank I got on trade in was a 'double handled' LP tank -- never seen these before, always refilled a tank I bought that has only one handle -- tank had to be rotated 90 degrees to be able to hang on gauge in the weber - gas line a little too short/stiff to reach connection in that orientation, but was able to get it working.... but the stress from the hose is tweaking the sheet metal of the grill in a way that doesn't look good...
Good news - with the several grills I've picked up lately, two of them came with this weird tank hanger bracket (that I've never seen previously) that I finally figured out was used to hang the tank from the handle rather than the 'notch' on the tank collar allowing proper orientation. (I figured this out because one of the grills I picked up was using it even though it wasn't needed)

Bad news - using said bracket hanger makes the tank sit 3" lower so it drags/sits on the ground the way it is supposed to be used.
Good news - modifying a part of the tank holder that secures the tank to the grill (that I never use anyways) in the vice puts the tank right back where its supposed to be.

If you are swapping out tanks at Blue Rhino, be sure to check for one or two handled tank collars.... I never knew this could be a problem --- I'm just glad I ran across these brackets.

Good News: You now have an excuse to get a pellet grill.

You folks who have PM'd me, CBD is a TOPICAL balm. And contains NO THC.


Here is what I wrote most of you:

" First of all, I don't think I ever got so many PMs on one of my posts, a bunch of guys are asking! 2nd, the shit is expensive (need to prep your anus, so to speak). Around $50 for 1.3oz jar of balm. Called Plus+CBDoil. My wife bought it for my daughter who was in drill and cheer - which amazingly both groups had many injuries.

Bought at the smaller of the two health groupie pharmacies next to Trader Joe's in Redmond.

Does it work? I would say yes, and I was surprised. BUUUUTTTTTT it's a pain reliever. NOT a cure or anything. Does it cut pain, sharp pain like a drug, no, different. I've used junk like Tiger Balm, which does NOTHING. My wrist pain can be pretty sharp and this cuts the edge and I forget my wrist hurts kind of deal. But if you have a nasty deep underlying cause, not sure it would do much. Ibuprofen works on me, even when I have a rare gout flare - but I hate taking that shit, hard on my body, my gut, my mind actually. So I know it's a long answer, but it does relieve pain for muscle and some tissue aches."

I don't smoke skunk ass weed. Thanks.

Good News: Juno almost double the buy price
Bad News: I didn't buy Bluebird when I had the chance

Get the surgery done!
My right hand, wife picked me up at work, I watched AND have a few pics of the surgery, she took me back to work after I was done and I finished out the day and drove home.
Took about 4 weeks before I could really hold up anything heavy for any length of time, but used the hell outta it by the second day.
Seriously, it's easy, quick, not much for a scar and the relief is amazing.
Used to be able to ride my bike for 20-30 minutes before pain an numbness took over, now I can run the tank dry.

WTF?! Surgery must have come quite a ways since I had my wrist done back in 94. Shit, I was put under heavy anesthesia and my arm was wrapped like a pappose for days. Followed by physical therapy before it would move too much.

How old are you STED9R? Us old guys have brittle tendons and ligaments. Right now I can't even make a fist cuz the scarring on my tendons won't let my fingers curl.
