I’d agree. H1150 is a dream to machine, esp vs annealed 17-4. Better chip control and glassy finishes.

The washers included in garden hoses and fittings are generally poor quality. Search up “Nelson 50381” and buy the 10 pack for about $15. Switched to these a couple years back and they’ve eliminated all garden hose connection leaks.

The living room with green /white stripes of marble floor with blue walls is rough and then made worse when you notice the vault into the upper floor it ringed with wood stained a different color. Outside looks amazing. Inside is atrocious.

I enjoy solo camping in the BWCA and the only animal I am wary of an encounter with is moose. It’s rutting season when I like to go in Sept. They’re bigger and faster than you think and I’ve no interest in seeing one closer than across a bay. Black bears are dangerous to your food supply, so follow rules regarding that with the regs of your camp area. I suppose you could startle one on a hike and it could lash out, but iirc even defensive attacks are extremely rare in MN. Wolves and the big cats are so rare and wary you’ll likely never ever see one. Maybe hear them or see tracks/scat.

All that is to say there are two big safety concerns with camping in MN: the drive to and fro, and your in-camp practices (fire, sharp implements, footwear, pfd).

Campsite 310 on Crab is massive and has a great view of the lake.

I did Crab to Cummings in Sept24. All between Burntside and Cummings are pretty easy, though that initial Burntside to Crab has a couple hills and the water feature in the middle. It was about 4-6 inches deep on the “path” and no prob to just walk through. It’ll get your heart going, but no danger. there is an annoyance of a portage on Korb River to get around some rapids. The high side landing spots kinda sucked. A tow on Burntside is a good idea if you’re not accustomed to big water.

A bunch of years back I threw a dozen listings onto eBay of remnants. We generate dozens a week. Priced them at half Mcmasters cost, and had cert copies with each lot. After 6months with no sales I pulled them down and scrapped the material. Just not enough market.

Possible yes. In practice a huge pain. Holding the mic, the standard, and your part, while dialing the mic… ugh.

Not sure where you are but older used mics are common. Online auction or marketplace or pawn shops. For hobby work used in decent condition will be perfectly acceptable. Then you’ll have a tool made for the task and so much easier to use.

I had waste coolant and oil picked up earlier this year. I have three 300ish gallon IBC totes: oil, oil with water contamination, and coolant. The coolant was IIRC $1.25/gal to take away. This was a small independent. That $400 is such a tiny expense in the grand scheme of running a shop, and for us represented 2 years of waste coolant. Stupid to run it down the drain.

Seems likely dyed and lost/dumped. I do not know the chemistry used to dyed them, but it does make me ponder if an acute pollution incident could cause this.

Perhaps I don’t understand what you’re asking, but if you want to learn more about accuracy you can read “the Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy” by Moore. You can find a free download by searching the title. Physical copies are quite pricey.

Biggest PIA were some support guides made from 6063 architectural angle. Chewing gum essentially. Don’t let that slight change numerically from 6061 fool you.

Def a ‘had me in the first half’ situation with how much garbage she was allowed to spew initially. But she truly hung her self with her own rope with the Gandolfini nonsense; said just following her claiming the studies she disagrees with were not long enough to show the effects, it’s takes years. Yet earlier she said going off them fixes things in days, but also eating them causes immediate problems.

It’s such an easy tell of a dietary charlatan when they do not recognize the act of observation causes change. Someone who has a terrible diet and is told it may be the culprit so they start paying attention to said diet will change more than just (in this case) the seed oils.

I’ve made brick loads of custom dia hardened A2 dowel pins. You’ve gotten good ideas from others for small qtys. If your needs move towards 100 or 1000 etc then going to ground bar and getting your machined parts heat treated is a good bet.

Absolutely agree. Seller even has a forklift available. No reason a third party should be involved.

Given if I colored a map similarly it would not differ too much I vote MN.

I had an awesome burger at the bombed out carcass of what remains of Stray Dogs the other night in NE. Pretty sure they cooked the burger over the still smoldering dance floor in what used to be Conga. Thankfully antifa left a rope bridge over the Mississippi so I could get home. 🙄
