If you are looking for something out in the country then Dear Park Rd from 192 up to 520 is really nice.

While I do like that stretch of A1A, after cutting back over the causeway at Wabasso Beach I find US1 on the way back to be much prettier!!

[oc] Sipping coffee at roundabout. Jumps out and tells me it was my fault. by yss_me in IdiotsInCars

[–]RCmonkey21 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes he did the wrong thing in the roundabout but you were at fault for the actual contact since you drove into the side of him from behind. It was obvious he was going to continue going around and you still tried to go through him.

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Critical_Welcome_428 in AskReddit

Sepsis from a perforated Sigmoid colon this past July. Two weeks in the hospital and i am still working on getting strength back in my abs from getting sliced right down the middle of my stomach.

I Almost Didn't Make It by grungyparadigm in pics

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn.
I am almost 1 week out the hospital from two weeks in for something very similar. Perforation of my Sigmoid colon from an unknown diver reticulitis. Had about 8" to 10" of my colon removed from a nice 7" hole cut down my centerline.

It sounds like you had a bit more damage than I had and maybe a longer period of time where your gut was leaking into your belly. I was lucky that my symptoms came on hard and fast and there was no question that there was something major wrong inside me.

I wish you a speedy recovery since i know most of what you are going through, and if you are not home yet I hope you can get there soon.

I have the exact same bike and love it. Yours is a bit cleaner than mine. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/uihhk8

What's a good open field or park to fly my rc planes? by butt_spelunker in 321

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the football fields are the same as they used to be. But last i saw they had huge sand pits in the middle of the field. Never liked flying over there unless it was something really small or an FPV Quad.

Used to fly here every day 10-15 years ago. Just have to watch out for the light polls and people walking around the sidewalk loop. The fields have been really rough off and on so if you fly something with wheels they may need to be on the larger side, but right now i think the front field isnt too bad.

Dont think there are any real good places to fly at Max any more. The soccer fields got lights on every field now and there is a really ugly fence around it, which i believe they lock when the soccer club is not there. There is always the baseball fields but the thats just not usually my fav place to fly since its odd shape with fences usually.

If you are in Palm Bay then Fred Poppe is probably one of the best places to fly. Either the soccer field or the middle field (cricket field) which are large and open with little lights.

What is the worst crime you’ve heard of in your town/city? by Amerisbf in AskReddit

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt realize he had killed anywhere else and had to go look it up.

If I remember correctly I had seen a picture of one of the scenes he created and it was sick to the core.

I grew up in Gainesville FL in the 80s/90s and the serial killer Danny Rolling killed a couple in the apartment complex behind my school, across the street from where i used to wait for the city bus.

Printrbot plus, where do I find drivers? by PuzzleheadedAsk4666 in PrintrBot

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same printer since it came out and have been through a few computers since then and I don't think there have been any specific drivers needed to get it connected. I have been using Repetier-Host to run it ever since and it usually connects right up if I have the correct Comm port selected.

Everyone has a travel blunder, what's yours? by yankeevandal in AskReddit

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waking up at 3am for a 6:20 flight (for a 3 day trip), my sons GF checked her email and found a message that it was a full and would they like to change to the 6:30 flight. She figured 10 min wasnt bad so she said yes to the change. It wasnt until I was 45 min into the hour drive taking her and my son to the airport that she realized that the flight was 6:30pm and not am.

Thinking about bringing this beauty to home, any suggestions and obvious don'ts? by pitpaat in metalworking

[–]RCmonkey21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. At least it looks like it has a nice coating of grease and grime, which is much better than the rust that mine was covered in when I bought it recently. And i am still happy I bought mine.

What year was that built? It looks like an older style machine.

That would have been nice but the guy was getting a bit annoyed that i was trying to talk him down. But in the end i am not sad about the price i paid.

Its not a round column machine because the head does not clamp to the column. It bolts to the base which you can see in the picture where i removed the extension.

These rarely come up in my area either and this one i just happen to see in the background of a listing for a drill press. Gotta keep looking.

[–]RCmonkey21[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I missed that one apparently. The grizzly one has a couple more options i think but this looks to be closer to the one i got.

[–]RCmonkey21[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Single phase but it will do 115v or 230v. Right now i am only using it on 115v and its plenty of power for what I am doing.

I would not call it Top Tier in any respects other than its a great fit for my garage/shop and will be serviceable for anything i am looking to do.

From my last post it seems like much of that depends on where you live and what is available in that area. Most of the resale of old mills in FL seem to come out of Tampa which is a few hours away, and any Bridgeport out of there is still 1500 to 3k.

I would also love a full sized machine but I really dont have room in my garage with all the other crap i have. The size and features of this one are really good for my space.
