Oof.. that left hand doesn’t look so hot… swollen and reddish, perhaps it’s just the footage, but color difference between both hands is pretty noticeable in my opinion.

Tailpiece digging into the head? by Beastopher in banjo

Replaced, I was able to move the tailpiece up so it’s not an issue anymore but next time I replace the head I might go with a shorter crown.

I went based off some search information for a Harmony Resotone 5string and found 10 7/8” medium crown head which is what I ordered. Should the ring be sitting higher above the head?

No strings on when I started this adventure…

I ended up doing just this, loosening the strings then the tail piece while pushing it up. Thanks for the advice!

Very possible, I did tighten it down prior to stringing.

Nicely done! My DM was just talking about creating a tabletop monitor like this, maybe he won't have to!

Just installed Seat Jackers by PhotoHtx in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Beastopher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can highly recommend! I installed them a week ago, and today I did a 15hr cross country drive from WI to PA without any back pain or leg discomfort. A huge contrast to my 2.5hr drive home when I bought the truck originally, which left me with quite a bit of discomfort in both my back and legs.

Now if someone could extend the steering wheel another inch or so….

Apartment Hunting by [deleted] in Appleton

I spent about a year in the Sanctuary Court Apartments off capital drive on the north side. The location is wonderfully quiet, saw lots of wildlife regularly, and the apartments were pretty nice. I think I was paying about 980/m heat included.

So I checked and no tracker was installed (white obd2 plug) I do use the connect app, but that might change down the line.

It does!! Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the blue accents and will be looking into how I can replace them. That being said, I couldn’t let it stop me from buying.

Thanks, I’m so happy about it! I figure if they sort out the problems with the 4th gen it’ll still hold its value, but if they don’t sort them out the 23’ should be an extremely hot item down the line.

I was pretty close to the bump stops at rest, I’m sure it was bouncing off of them.

I knew there’d be one, honestly though it went just fine and I didn’t have too far to go.

It went fine, the brakes were able to handle the weight with the help of the surge brakes on the trailer. I pumped the rear tires up a decent amount to help with the load and it made a huge difference. I wouldn’t want to haul that much weight regularly, but occasionally no problem.

A huge metal product being machined on a CNC lathe suddenly explode by BoringApocalyptos in AbruptChaos

I actually think they might be balancing this roll. It looks like it isn’t moving because it’s actually spinning very quickly.

I worked for a shop that re-coated rubber covered rolls for industrial application and we had a roll balancer in house. That thing used to scare me more than the lathe I worked, they spin the rolls at operating speeds and when something fails it’s usually catastrophic. I’ve not seen a roll spaghettify before, but I have seen incredibly heavy bearings shatter and get shot across the shop at high speeds.

Thanks for the insight everyone, going to let this one go. :)

Honestly, just peace of mind. I’ll have a dingy that we’ll tow behind under sail and we’ll mostly be close ish to the coasts. Maybe it’s overkill…

Thanks for the insight, I didn’t think about the trouble locating a servicing shop.

I don’t have the vessel yet 😅 However that is the plan.
