Stop Making Sense....

So the classic Talking Heads concert film has been remastered... and is on cable or satellite or whatever!

It's amazing... as was the original. Probably the greatest 'rockumentary' or concert film ever made.

Wish I'd seen then in concert. By the time I 'discovered' Talking Heads in the late 1980's... they'd basically broken up.

If I had a time machine, one of the places I'd go is CBGB in the late 1970's.

If you are looking for a couple of hours of great music and videos... Stop Making Sense is awesome!

Big suit guy.... epic!

Cheers,

Sirhr

SOLD March 1-10x24 Shorty Dual Focal For Sale

For Sale, like new in box March Shorty 1-10 DR-TR1 Dual Reticle. Comes with Andre mount, box, paper work. I cut the sun shade down with a tubbing cutter to install the flip up cap. This is an amazing little scope. Only reason I’m selling is I picked up the 1.5-15 dual from March so it is just sitting. $1800 shipped and insured. I will post more photos this evening. Thank you.

HVAC Question for the Pros

Need to replace a 31 year old AC that finally died. House is 100 years old, not too tight, and very close to Galveston Bay so humidity control is essential.

The existing unit is an oddball design which has a 3.5 ton condenser paired with a 2.5 ton evaporator. There was a guy here in Houston 30 years ago touting his design as superior in removing the suffocating Houston humidity. To his credit, this system did keep the upstairs comfortable. I suspect this system today would not meet government energy standards even if it was a good design.

So what is the cooling rating of the current system? Is it really 3.5 ton based on the condenser, or is it closer to 2.5 ton limited by the evaporator?

I have a bid for new unit with a 3.5 ton condenser and 4 ton evaporator because his vendor doesn’t make a 3.5 ton. My concern is this system may end up oversized and not remove enough humidity. Would a 3.5 ton condenser with a 3 ton evaporator work?

Thoughts from the Hide?

Barrel life 6.5 CM vs 308 Win

I am building a 6.5 CM for my daughter. I have the action, bottom metal and stock but I am waiting on the barrel to begin the build. I have been going over reloading tables and something caught my mind…why is the 6.5 CM barrel life so short when compared to the 308 win? From hodgden reloading, 140 grain Hornady ELD with 4350 max load of 40 gr pushes the bullet at roughly 2650 fps with 60,000 cup. The 308 with a Berger 168 gr bullet with a charge of 42 grains of powder is moving at 2700 fps with 61,000 cup. These two loads couldn’t be more similar but the barrel life of the 6.5 CM is 1/4 of the 308. So, what am I missing? Twist, shoulder slope, magical unicorns…

Someone help this dumb guy out…
