Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full.

Then in a few more weeks the red Chile will be harvested.

The local processing plants fill the air with delicious smells for the next few months.

Wait! they store the sacks behind bars with you?

Store the sacks?
No such thing, that delivery has already gone. You kinda have to put your order in if you want some. It goes fast.

 

[Edwin Spangler]

A notched key? No issue, just load the key with the flywheel so it seats in rotation direction.
If your going no key you better have the taper lapped and use a degree wheel for accuracy.

Ok good info. I had a fear that altering it could make it structurally unsound, kinda like those "billet flywheels" that are actually cast and then milled.

 

[Edwin Spangler]

so use that torque wrench.

Am I right?

Very! Ive learned this lesson many times over... Warped rotors, leaking head gaskets, wheel bearing nuts backing off, ya know...

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

This chile business makes me happy

 

[Kartorbust]

So this was our rain gauge yesterday, emptied it out yesterday. Wonder how full it will be when I get home after work?

 

[Master Hack]

Now that is a respectable total!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Mine has cobwebs.
Haven't had that much total for the year.

 

[Denny]

Indianapolis has way more than that!

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Not too long and that will all be snow.

 

[Kartorbust]

If the NWS predictions are anything to go off of, we may see less than an inch of snow this winter. Most will be to our north and east.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

NWS predictions

Ha ha

you need to retract such language and make a blood offering to the gods

Speaking of blood offerings, I am reminded of the challenging learning curve I had when switching to a “safety” razor and double edge razor blades. I abandoned all that noise with the Schick and Gillette multi-decker razor wars with those dumb cartridges costing megabucks. To get more bang for your buck, go traditional.

Get you a good heirloom like a Merkur or like me, an Edwin Jagger DE89



Or even that Van Der Hagen one sold at Wally’s World should be good. Basic going rate for blades is probably something like 2.99 for 10. Save dat money, yo!

Anyone else going savagely retro?

Last July we got almost 5" of rain in 2 hours. Street flooded up to our house. Eventually the basement drains started bringing up sewage water. Such a nightmare. 20 years and it never got that bad here that fast. Rain makes me cringe.

 

[Grizzlymi]

My neighbors cam. Up to his waste in the street.

 

[Master Hack]

Wow!

Hail, hail makes me have HIGH amounts of anxiety now.

 

[Grizzlymi]

Hail away around here, water damage is my nemesis! I"ve never used homeowners insurance for anything in my time as a homeowner. I've never finished my basement because of water issues. Hail damage 100% I would. My house is brick, but I do need new gutters.

But seriously man, feel for you with all that rain in Nebraska! Supposed to get over an inch of rain tonight here, and I'm already getting anxiety.

On a side note, got the wife a new vehicle today. She had a Compass, so she loves it. It was a demo, so the spark plug issue has been fixed. Finally something I built. lol.
