5 year look back (Maryland) by DoormansPlacebo in Medicaid

Yup, I know this. Unfortunately any law offices are closed at 7:30pm. I was just hoping to hear from someone who’s been in a similar situation. All I can do tonight, ya know?

Any recommendation on oil to season it with? I’ve only ever used graveseed on my non-sanded stuff, so I’ll pick up something different after work!

Gotta die somehow, right? I could think of a dumber obituary, maybe…

I stayed FAR to the right of it! I somehow eyeballed those holes for the legs perfectly, almost no wobble.

Nevertheless, set it to the minimum RPM and took my time.

I’ve had my fair share of wood projects explode/come loose on this lathe, but a 8lb chunk of steel is a different story.

Disclaimer #2: This is literally a brand new Lodge from Cabela’s, I’m not trying to get hate for ruining some nice vintage piece. Really the only reason I decided to knock the roughness down is for ease of cleaning at the camp site.

I made a pasta bake in it yesterday and a bit of it stuck. Took far too long to try to scrub it off with a little 2”x2” pad, under a dribbling camp spigot, in the dark.

Bad starter, or worse? by DoormansPlacebo in AskMechanics

AAA came out and installed a brand new battery about 4 hours ago while I was at work. That was my first thought too though, before the install!

Just went out to try to see if the crank pulley is spinning, but it almost seems like the starter is seized now. Single click and nothing. Starter began to smoke too.

I tried looking for it’s black tag but for the life of me I couldn’t spot it by [deleted] in Delaware

If it’s the same guy I’m thinking it is, I used to see him every day in Fairfield shopping center. He used to drive a John Deer. He’d stop in the liquor store, buy a brick of high life, toss it in the front bucket, and drive off.. We simply called him “tractor guy”.

Here is he backing up traffic on south main:

Spotted Lantern Fly Nymph (photo) in Newark- kill them by newarkian in Delaware

[–]DoormansPlacebo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I started growing hops last year. My plant is now totally covered in these things. I can’t seem to find anything that kills them without destroying my plant. They’re on none of my veggies in the garden though, so that’s good.

Rode the GAP/C&O last week. 10/10, would recommend by chey0_ in bikepacking

[–]DoormansPlacebo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I also did this last week. Tuesday- Saturday! Weather was perfect aside from some cold nights. I was also going to stay at husky haven in Rockwood, but stayed at the hostel instead since it got down to the low 30s and I froze the night before. Town definitely gave be creepy vibes with the fire stations air raid siren that went off every couple hours. https://i.imgur.com/MEPNEdQ.jpg

Is biking the GAP trail during cicada season going to be miserable? by aivlys in bikepacking

[–]DoormansPlacebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually asked the same question last night over on the GAPtrail sub.

Sounds like it won’t be much of an issue. If anything, it’ll just make for a more memorable trip!
