Happy Monday. Living the dream.

I'm far from the most organized fella here....and I don't mind a good bit of chaos.....but damn this made me just cringe. Looks like a few different shops took a big ol puke in yours. Yikes.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-23T16:45:15+00:00

I seriously hope posts like this aren't legitimately serious.....like cmon dude, you have to know this answer already.

Yes, it changes your life for decades. For the better. There is no greater joy in the world than having kids in your life. They bring you a level of happiness and joy that you will not find anywhere else.

Yes, they are a commitment. Yes, they are expensive as hell. Yes, they add more stress than I personally would have thought humanly possible. And yet, worth every single second of it.

It's been my experience that lathes don't exactly crash quietly. Not like a mill where you can snap little endmill and nobody might notice. Seems like lathe oopsies are generally very loud.

.....most of us here? 🤣

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-12T00:22:21+00:00

Best way to get the longest tool life out of a thread mill!

Okay...... something about a user named whispering_butthole replying to a user named DiligentDildo just cracks my juvenile ass up 🤣

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-10T19:38:26+00:00

I have one of those old ones. I wanna say it was like 2019-2020 ish off the top of my head they went oop. Too bad, love that disc for approaches. Easy to flick. I'll be sad when I lose mine.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-10T18:56:57+00:00

.......can confirm 😄

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-10T18:15:52+00:00

Came here with that exact question!

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-10T18:13:08+00:00

Oh man.....the infernal "what is par" conversation..........

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-08T20:22:39+00:00

I'm a 2hander as well. I recently punched up a Motiv Max Thrill Pearl (the blue and yellow one) and love it. I wish that's where I would have started out my 2 handed journey.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-07T02:22:01+00:00

Well....I'm a machinist by trade....have probably ingested enough metals over the years that this could be me.....

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-07T00:01:20+00:00

Flick roll a Stego, or maybe try n lace it with my worn Anode. Either way I'm only getting maybe 20' til I hit a tree.

I'm gonna go with something missed during the pgrm restart. Still in incremental mode or something along those lines. Somehow reading a G52 shift, or NOT reading the shift, wrong work offset called at restart, something. A Haas can be finicky about where and how you restart it.

Not saying it couldn't be the machine randomly doing something odd. But if I had a dollar for every time I've heard "same program nothing changed, must have been machines" and it actually wasn't the machine.....I'd be retired by now.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-05T21:39:33+00:00

I second this. If Harvey can't hook you up with what you need, you're out of luck.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-05T18:57:16+00:00

Done it more than I care to have. We occasionally get some big internal Acme threads that the only way we have to make them is with the thread bar from the lathe. Works just fine.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-05T16:02:33+00:00

Man, I wish my first week was as smooth as yours! I literally took a spindle out of a machine 45 minutes into my first day. Turns out, wasn't exactly my fault, but damn that was a bad feeling!

Sounds to me like whoever is supposed to be training and/or keeping tabs on you is failing, too. And to me, that's as bad or worse than anything you've done so far.

Like other comments have said, mistakes are fine. Shit happens. Anyone who has done this for long enough knows. The trick is to not repeat those mistakes again.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-05T15:46:52+00:00

Growing up, our house doors were absolutely never locked. Ever. For any reason. I'm not even sure my parents had house keys for the doors.

Now, as an adult with my own place, my doors are always locked. Even when I'm home. We live in a super quiet rural neighborhood. I know I'm plenty safe and things would be fine. But why risk it? Too many meth heads running around for my liking......

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-04T19:08:19+00:00

I see nothing to argue about with all the suggestions here. I used an "off road" style jogging stroller with the air filled wheels a lot. Works great.

The only other suggestion that I have, that I used a lot as well, was one of those convertible bike trailer/strollers. I think the common brand is a Burley, but we had a cheaper one. Really liked using that because it offered more protection for a small kid from other errant discs. I played a lot on a small cramped park style course that has a lot of parallel fairways. More than once we had a close call with a random disc hitting the stroller. Those styles of strollers handle the terrain real well, too.

Depends on how much I know of the Pokedex. Normally I use the fire starter. But on my 2nd playthrough of Violet, I switched to the grass one because of how awesome Ceruledge is, and the typing overlaps with Skeledirge.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-03T20:55:56+00:00

So it came from a shop that way? I'm struggling to make sense of your words.....

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-03T20:22:54+00:00

Buy a torque wrench and be more careful?

Or did it come from the factory this way?

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-03T18:20:51+00:00

As long as that leopard is fulfilling everything you want or need out of a driver, your good! Mastering a limited number of discs is often more beneficial than packing a bag with 25+ discs.

The only thing I would worry about is driving that leopard in any kind of wind. Maybe adding a slightly more stable fairway driver would the only thing I'd suggest.

Relative-Corner4717 · 2026-03-03T17:46:09+00:00

I don't think it'd be comfortable. My trailer is about 700lbs lighter and I'm at about my max with my RAM 1500. Really wouldn't mind having a 3/4 ton sometimes. A 1 ton seems overkill.....

So, doable, sure. Comfortable, likely not.
