Good football team. Needs more football.

Because we should all pick our place of higher education based on the quality of their sporting programs.

The only time I've really thought about sports during all of this was a few days ago after I started playing squash at school for the first time and realized its insanely fun and that it would be awesome to have some courts on campus to play on. Luckily a bunch of these northeast school have courts ;D

Squash?  Go get 'em, bud!



(I have nothing against squash, I just can't dissociate squash from Frasier xD )

Wellp.  Finally sold my truck today.  Took a bit less than I was asking, but to be honest I'm just glad to see it gone.  And now I've got some cash.

Is there a group buy for paying off my student loans?

Not yet, why don't you start up an Interest Check?

Yesterday finally had a proper day off from work for the first time in weeks

Played some Fallout 4 and did some reading - was really nice

[trenzafeeds]

I have worked all three days this weekend. Made me sad and tired 

[HoffmanMyster]

Just got back from furniture shopping. Man, it never ceases to amaze me how expensive furniture is...    My entire life so far I have inherited furniture or purchased from Goodwill, so I've paid $0-20 for the various items. Now I'm considering spending $1600.    Granted, it is excellent quality and would last for a very long time (and is infinitely better for my ergonomics than the free stuff I get), but I have this weird mental block with it.

Nooooo, byker's on to me!    This is something I've been planning for awhile, but was putting off because I hate spending money like this.  But my free couch has reached the point where it honestly hurts my back to sit/slouch/lie/whatever on, so I really want to get something that will be comfortable and lasting.  But yeah, the "smart" thing to do would be to pay off my loans - or what if I have back issues from my couch that would cost me more??

Haha, I am just winding you up, because about 5 posts up you said thats what the extra money is going to!  I do agree with you that it is probably a good idea to replace the couch before you create extra problems. Back pain is never fun

Oh I know you were just poking fun, but it's a valid point!    I really do want to pay those off as soon as possible, so it's a big struggle.  :|

My first stethoscope for my 5th grade learning just arrived. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks very gorgeous and seems to  work well.

I just fixed my wife's laptop charger. It was hard and boring.

I spent like an hour opening, desoldering and soldering the thing back. Fortunately it worked.

It sure is easy to change a bearing when it comes out like this.

This is the outer race.


The rest of it looks like this after a quick cleaning.


There was no destructive removal of it, this is what it looked like when the top half of the housing was removed.

It is from a large rotary dryer.  The drum and shaft weigh in the realm of 90,000 pounds.  The inside diameter is about 15 and 3/4 inch and the rolling element alone is 700 pounds.



This is the bull gear that mounts to the shaft.  Don't remember the diameter but it alone weighs 7,960 pounds.

Trying to get my daughter to practice her times tables, I ended up getting a couple of 12 sided dice and rolling them across the table and seeing who could multiply the numbers together the quickest.

It was actually fun, I think we'll tying again.

I have some 20 sided dice for when she gets a bit older too

I definitely still had it.  )  I was hanging on to it "just in case", since it was still registered and such.  I was passively interested in selling it all summer, and only got around to actively selling it in the last couple weeks.

Also, an automatic... right in the feels.    Both because it's rood and because I'd be like the only person to ever get an auto Mini and that's just lame...  :|

Yeah it sure is a lot of work/stress with all the hills + parallel parking + stopped at a light on a hill
BUT ON THE HIGHWAY.. VICTORY!!

Sometimes I wish I had my old car to drive when I get tired of a stick.

Actually they do have a good pm schedule.  But there is 280° F steam that runs through the shaft.  What we think happened is the steam cooked the grease, and that stuff kept new grease from getting to the bearing.

Ahh, gotcha.  I figured there would be a grease for that application that wouldn't do that.  Or at the very least, the bearing would have showed signs of wear before exploding, haha.  But I obviously don't know the details or that process at all.

But yeah, all I want to do right now is work on my longline ability. There's no way that a line like that doesn't feel like flying, honestly the numbers of it are just as impressive as the actual crossing.

A line like this would be scary but when your in the moment it's calming. I haven't done anything nearly this cool but even the lines 20ft off the ground just calm you down. You focus on staying up but as a side effect you forget about everything else.

Slept in today and skipped work after suffering some minor but otherwise tiring allergic reactions to accidentally eating some clams.
Then went to my regular chiropractic appointment.
Then switched out the cherry mx clear springs out of my Poker X and put the Gateron browns back because it was just too heavy.
And now here we are.

Drank with a bunch of burgers.
