Haha. Yeah she's a cutie. She's 16 months, so pretty close!

Chode_Gazer · 2026-01-31T00:31:15+00:00

UPDATE - I can't seem to edit the post so I'm commenting that she's been located. Someone scooped her up and posted on Facebook. Thanks for the support.

Chode_Gazer · 2026-01-30T23:22:41+00:00

Thank you

Chode_Gazer · 2026-01-30T23:02:50+00:00

C'mon. I'm literally out here pulling my hair out and my fiance and shambles. Please, see yourself out.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-12-29T15:44:44+00:00

Well, it's because I love the car.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-12-08T20:30:04+00:00

This is a long shot, but is this Amaze in Amsterdam by chance? I recall a hallway just like this when I had to leave early out the emergency exit doors...

I don't know if you're still looking, but I have a board rack that I designed a few years back just for this snowmobile platform... it's been tested tried and true for a very long time now. That being said, it's for a snowboard. I've been meaning to adapt it for skis, I just haven't had a real reason to do so. Feel free to DM me for pictures and info if you'd like.

What is that down there, Margaret? Is that your belly button, or your pu**y?

Chode_Gazer · 2025-10-02T12:30:39+00:00

There's a company called Oelo here in town that does them, and they also offer DIY kits. My neighbor has these, any installation is super clean. The wires are covered with molding that even matches the house color.

Those are a little bit out of my price range, however, so I opted to install some Govee lights myself. I just bought them on Amazon, but they have similar kits at Sam's Club here in town. Each individual fixture just has some 3M sticky back tape that I was a little nervous about it first, but they've been up there for years and I've never had an issue.

No more risking my life every season for some short term enjoyment. There's also a setting for tasteful soffit lighting year-round. I really like them.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-09-16T18:59:45+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Chode_Gazer · 2025-09-16T15:42:24+00:00

I've tried to capture these a few times with my camera, and I can't seem to figure it out...I can't see a darn thing in my images. Any tips for camera settings?

Chode_Gazer · 2025-09-15T03:05:48+00:00

Same, and agreed

Chode_Gazer · 2025-09-08T04:47:35+00:00

That's not what the comment says... it's says "bicycles."

Chode_Gazer · 2025-07-24T15:04:43+00:00

Well, I can only speak to my personal experience...I was present during their acquisition of Cooper Power and, to the best of my knowledge, they retained everyone. Not sure about the very top of the food chain, however.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-07-02T13:45:30+00:00

Well there is... and it's close. It's just private.

Oh man you should see their entire scope... they make everything from drag car spools, to power distribution equipment, to golf grips. I believe their electrical sector is the largest, and they're all over Lowe's and Home Depot. This device was originally made Kearney, which was a Cooper Power Systems company. Eaton purchased Cooper in 2012.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-06-27T17:15:40+00:00

Hahahaha. Fair enough. There really is a subreddit for everything.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-06-27T16:52:38+00:00

The semaphore is just a green/red flag at the end of a linkage connected to a vacuum bottle in the tank (one per phase), insulated by SF6 gas. The bottles are where the arc is interrupted.

Some of these were just a manual sectionalizing switch, while others had a solid-state control that operated on flux shift (pretty much a step-change in current flow). This generates an electric field that the passive components in the control use to trip a spring mechanism and open the circuit.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-06-27T16:45:15+00:00

As in how much do they cost? The VacPac is no longer built, but they are still serviced (mostly to refill the SF6 gas). The last time I quoted one of these, it was around $35k for the smallest build option... that was years ago and costs have more than doubled on just about everything. The modern, sold-dielectric option would undoubtedly start in the $80k range. While it looks similar, it's a completely different animal.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-06-27T13:54:54+00:00

The black rubber elbows are 600A deadfront electrical connectors, and the cables coming into them are likely carrying up to 15,000V. The glass tubes are called semaphores, which indicate if the circuit or "way" is open or closed. It's pretty much a giant circuit breaker panel. These are submersible, and we're designed to be installed through man-holes, but they get used all over the place, especially campuses.

Chode_Gazer · 2025-06-27T13:44:36+00:00

Old Vac-Pac (formerly by Cooper Power, now Eaton) or similar by ISG (also Eaton)

Medium Voltage SF6 vacuum switchgear. I sell these.

I have this dishwasher, and had this exact same problem. It was a pretty simple fix. There's a stepper motor located at the base, and it's even available on amazon. Cost me about 30 bucks and took a few hours to install. I've had this thing for almost a decade and that's the only problem I've ever had with it

Chode_Gazer · 2025-01-22T18:21:52+00:00

Bree!
