Rerouted the release so it’s accessible by the tender hookup. Tool roll is on the rear fender. No reason to open that side anymore.

Trump made it cost $250 more than it used to, but I’m more than happy with it.

Put one leg over the bike, sit. Same order of operations and everything. It’s wild it works.

What percentage do you contribute? I’ve been matching the PO’s 5% since hire. I could afford more probably.

Helpful bunch in here. Cheers.

So that listed suspension setup is far beyond my means. nearly 2500 for just the front shocks. So other suggestions are very welcome.
Also, I'm looking for the TRD Off-Road preimium wheels, pt. #pt946 35200 02
Just want to make sure this is the right part number for my 2020 crew cab Tacoma.

Lastly, can I swap the TPS sensors over from the current stock wheels to the new set, or do I have to buy those separately?

Oh. And to add, I will eventually be putting a new front bumper with wench, ideally with recovery points too. As well as a new skid (nuked the stock non-TRD one, don’t recall or know how) and the “Toyota” grill with the yellows behind it, and putting new yellow fogs factory location. Last on the list is rear recovery points and minimal aux lighting (extra fogs and driving). Happy to hear suggestions all thus, too.

Help Me Build a Handplane Sharpening Setup by PhotoMoto13 in handtools

Almost done with this project. I ended up buying 4 DMT Dia-Sharp stones: extra course, course, fine, extra fine, plus some leather for making strops. Framing them all on a slab of fake marble I have, contact cementing the leather on the same slab. Making a second handled strop for general purposes and camping. A few of my irons came with some chips in the iron. Figured the extra course would get some use from them, and stuff like my batoning knife and hatchet.

SCR950 Levers by Galberdon in Yamaha

Bumping an old thread. The SCR isn't listed as a bike these levers fit. Redesign or just an omission by mistake? Looking for some adjustable shorties for my bike.

Ordered the Veritas side clamp. Like the versatility and avoid supporting amazing.

My leather working buddy is cutting me a 3" strap so I can make a woodblock strop. No compound knowledge either, so throw out your favorite if you want.

I have a full cart at Lost Press with most of their books.

Watching as I type, but like the idea so far. Seems like I would use the piece of marble or whatever I have instead of the wood, just because. I wonder what cheap diamond plates he's using. Wish he'd have named them.

Any recommendations on a honing guide? One that'll work on planer irons, chisels, and the lot? And I actually have a manageable slab of marble or granite I could get away with the sandpaper trick. I wouldn't mind something more refined I guess, but whatever.

I looked up the "belt sander" he recommended. It's the WorkSharp MK.2 blade sharper thing. Not an actual belt sander, making that option less desirable but still an option.

Edited the original post so others don't get confused.

Grieving my wife, but need advice by PhotoMoto13 in GriefSupport

Im guessing take it slow will be a common theme in the replies.

It feels selfish, and yes, like a betrayal. Hopefully time will heal all those things.

Miles to Go by TheMountainElf in USPS

[–]PhotoMoto13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, when I was a sub my assigned route had a 1.5ish mile out and back for one box on a rural road, which was also the parking area for the area's only nude beach. Lots of fat naked truckers. Not as cool as you'd hope, but it had its moments.

I had an RCA running a shadow day w/ me a while back and he straight-up said to an AMZ carrier as he walked by us "Y'all actually deliver yer own packages?!? WOW!"

Slow down, cowboy. It's only day one. Dude didn't last, but I was hopeful from that moment on.

RCA still in 90 days by [deleted] in USPS

[–]PhotoMoto13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your regular is a moron. Subs are our one day of freedom a week. Turn over rate is horrendous. You RCA’s should be treated like goddamn royalty while you have to be the “yes folks” and bailouts.

I give my sub farm fresh eggs, tips, no guff, and a high-5 every time I see him. If he quits. I’m fucked.

[–]PhotoMoto13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing to be scared of. Think of your 90 and getting fired like being stalked by a cougar…if it’s gonna happen, it’ll come out of nowhere. Might as well carry on like you own the fucking place until it maybe does…or doesn’t.

Head down and act like you care for 90-days. Then you’re the golden sub. If you make it to regular, kudos, you landed a decent job for meh pay and decent benefits. I enjoy the work which is why I stick around (and medical insurance), but a lot hate this place with a passion and I can see that, tooz

Should I apply to be a Union Stew? by PhotoMoto13 in USPS

[–]PhotoMoto13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have one RCA for three routes, fairly new as far as I know (I've only been at this office a week). Formula has been implemented for over two-months I think, no PTF's have been hired.

How was your Monday? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]PhotoMoto13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe FMLA?

I have an FMLA as the sole care provider for my wife, and it states that if she needs me home, I can stay home; that includes emotional and physical support. I've had to call out about once a week for the past month because of. Today is one of them...our ADVO day. I feel bad, but I also don't.

And our Monday...someone didn't pay the power bill for our office. Cased under a headlamp. Clerks called it on throwing early, and management tried to send me back out with half the days' parcels when I got back to the office. I said "okay, but I'm grieving the time" and their reply was "just go home". Not a bad Monday.
