    Cutting the cord advice, tips and how-to's!

    Had a landline for many years and was only using it for my alarm system. Live in a rural area and Century Link's infrastructure in our area was falling apart and every time it rained it went down. Plus 30+% of the bill was taxes and surcharges. Cut the cord and installed a cellular dialer...

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    Cousin in Ruidoso who is helping us work on cabin wanted a headache rack for his pickup to haul materials for the house he is building. Knocked it out yesterday in the shop.

    I believe the company went out of business sometime in the 1970's and some can be found on used machinery sites.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Father was a B-24 ball turret gunner with the 829BS of the 485th flying out of Italy. Flew his 25 and came home. Had a good look at the turret at the Pima Air Museum and for the life of me could't figure out how he fit in it let alone be in that thing for hours on end.

    Picked up an Ellis Dividing head off Ebay. When I received it it was filthy and froze up so at first I thought a bought an expensive paperweight. as I tore it apart I noticed that it was in excellent shape and appeared to be very little used or not at all. Cleaned, painted and polished it...

    Saw Led Zeppelin at MSG around 1974. Awesome show and Dazed and Confused was incredible.

    SXSW said it will no longer accept sponsorship by the U.S. Army or arms manufacturers.

    Go somewhere else. We already have too many white blue haired liberals fucking up the state and certainly don't need anymore. The California commie transplants beat them to it.

    Crazy fast hunting dogs running down and killing coyotes

    When I worked on the UU Bar one of the hands, Clyde Malone, had a pack of Greyhounds for running down coyotes. One meaner than hell female was the kill dog and he would release her once the others had it down. He would haul ass across a pasture until he got close then would release the dogs...

    Probably should clarify. A lathe that size would have 3ph motor and wondering if you have 3ph at your shop? The SBL has a 3ph motor but only have 1ph in my shop so installed a VFD. Have 3ph behind the shop for our irrigation well but was easier just to install a VFD.

    Is the lathe 1ph or 3ph? I know what you mean about tooling. Between getting Bison chucks and Aloris tooling I probably spent more than three times what I paid for my SBL 10L.

    Big Fire In Ruidoso,NM

    Our governor is an idiot. She gave a press conference today on the fire and was total embarrassment. Wife watched and totally pissed her off with respect to her lack of empathy and compassion. She is a fucking leftist c**t and hates the SE portion of the state because it is red but sure like...

    Big Fire In Ruidoso,NM

    Lincoln County is one of the few red spots in NM. Lots of oil field money in Ruidoso. Unit 34 is one of the best elk units in NM and had a 5x5 bull in velvet at my place over the weekend. I do hope that the wildlife outruns the fire.

    AZTEC Upgrade to AMP Annealer

    ^^^UPDATE^^^ Shout out to Matt for being patient and responsive to helping me resolve the upgrade issues. The issue was with the Slave and had to install an earlier version of the firmware which installed the correct slave. Works fine now and regardless still going to purchase the new DB model.

    Gunsite’s Dangerous Game ELR Match (July 2024)

    Interesting. Attended the XLR class three times with Cory and great venue to shoot. Would love to attend but no room in the calendar.

    AZTEC Upgrade to AMP Annealer

    You are one thick headed SOB. I am not smearing the company and as stated Matt has been very helpful in trying to make it right. Matter of fact shortly ago I received an email from Matt with another potential fix. These guys and their machines are awesome and probably one of the most used...
