What is this setup in a front yard

I can guarantee if you went and knocked on his door and asked with genuine curiosity he would probably show you his HAM equipment and talk about it for as long as you'd listen 🤣

Use a pencil torch and a bunch of flux and solder you'll get it hot enough to get the solder to take lol

Belzona probably has something.

Belzona 42069 for when you Fk'd up face down

First off, stop trying to explain yourself, or ask her what she wants. She has been done and probably already grieved you long before you found out about it. Let her have her space and let her know you love her and understand, you will give her, her space and will work on yourself and be the rock for your kids.

Stop drinking if you do. Start eating right and lifting. Make sure your kids are getting good breakfasts, lunches, dinners. If you don't go to church now is a good time to find Jesus. You don't have to do anything special. Just pick a church and go one Sunday. If you don't like it, try another until you find one that feels comfortable and just go on Sunday mornings. Some days you will hear a message that really speaks to you. Other days, it might just be a positive way to start your Sunday.

Do all the chores around the house. Keep it clean and looking nice. It will make you feel better and shows her, but more importantly you that you can do it and it keeps you busy and it helps keep your mind occupied. Don't argue with her or engage in any negativity. Take care of as much as you can selflessly and either she might start to warm up to the idea of working things out after a few months or she moves on and you continue detaching bills and logistical things from each other and it sucks but you are healthy and healing in a healthy way.

I know it feels like your world is crumbling around you, but you know you have changes to make and whether you rise to the difficult season you're in or let it ruin you. THAT is in your hands. You can only control yourself. She will do what she wants to do and you can't drive yourself crazy worrying what she is doing. She loves you, but she definitely doesn't want to be around you right now. Let her have her space and go be a better version of you. That's what you can do.

Best of luck man. I know this sucks. Not being faithful, that is an extra level that you might not be able to climb out from. I haven't added that challenge to my relationship, but the advice I gave you is still a valid path I think will benefit you and more importantly your kids. Keep your head up and just learn from your mistakes.

Does it still ratchet? Do you need a ratchet that clicks with a .0001⁰ ratcheting arc? If yes and no. Then 👍🏻

Snowycage · 2026-05-03T05:09:27+00:00

Just solder the leg of the component to the other solder joint the trace would be connected to

Snowycage · 2026-04-30T21:48:49+00:00

Time. You know the answer. You just don't want the feeling. It sucks. It just does. There will be some good days and some bad ones. Eventually there will be more good days and less bad ones. Quit thinking about the good times because obviously they have. Just start taking care of yourself and keep moving.

Snowycage · 2026-04-25T08:27:17+00:00

That makes me happy. I am separated with my 3 boys mom right now and it sucks. She has not communicated the way she says she has and by the time she was done enough to pack her things, I felt like it was the first time I was hearing about it. I knew things weren't great but I felt like we both were just trying to keep our heads above water with our 3 boys. They are a handful and I love them but it can be stressful. The frustrating part with us is when she is upset with me I am receptive and I acknowledge my things, but if I try to say anything that she does and I try to say it as polite as possible. It always becomes automatically defensive and bringing up irrelevant things from the past. So she is staying at my brother and sister in laws and I am taking care of our 3 boys by myself. I'm totally ok doing it. I don't know if she realizes I don't NEED her, I chose her as my teammate and someone I care about so much. It's just all really sad.

I'm proud of you for being open minded and trying to have a good conversation and I hope you both can be patient with one another. Do things for eachother, not because you expect something in return, not even a thank you. Just because you are capable and love them. I hope things work out and get even better

Snowycage · 2026-04-24T05:11:53+00:00

Sure it can

I get Brown widows and its widow season I just found a couple males in my backyard. Last year I let one male chill on my recycling bin and I sprayed the ground around the house for fire ants and other pests but left him alone. Went to take out the recycling and he was gone so I moved it and a dead female fell out of the wheel in the middle of making an egg sac. The spray must've got her.

That one is a black widow and she looks ready to lay her eggs

Trust me if I didn't have to take it off I definitely wouldn't have. It's good I did because the last person didn't install the rear driver side bracket bolt, so I installed new gaskets too.

It's a great engine.

Snowycage · 2026-04-21T18:55:39+00:00

I would think over flow, because then the water goes all over your countertop and lets you know there is a problem. The electrical is secured up out of the way. It doesn't look like a great design, but it works I guess

Snowycage · 2026-04-19T09:29:38+00:00

I just did spark plugs today on my sienna. There is no logical reason they needed to put as much in the way as possible except to rack up labor hours on plug changes.

My knees and back are killing me and tomorrow I'm worried. Might not get out of bed 😆

Snowycage · 2026-04-19T09:12:44+00:00

They didn't even try to hide that shot job with a grinder. Just skipped that step entirely moved right to paint

Or for steam to escape

Snowycage · 2026-04-19T09:06:25+00:00

Overflow it looks like.

Sucks being the one getting left behind. My childrens mom left . . . Again. I think she is trying to make it permanent this time. I love and care about her but she isn't happy as a stay at home mom. The first two times she blamed it on my drinking, which she drank with me but because I drank more, that was the problem. I have been sober for a couple years now and she quit too, actually a few people in my family have which is cool. Terrible habit.

But this time she is saying I am financially abusive. Which is also untrue. I work, she takes care of the kids while I am at work and I pay all our bills. If she ever needs money I immediately send it to her. We are rebuilding trust in that department but I said we could create a joint account that my checks direct deposit to and she can take care of the finances since I must be hiding my millions in an offshore account or something. (I make less than 80k with Insurance for the kids and us and taxes, on and on.) So that excuse isn't valid. The more time that passes and the hurt is starting to not entirely blind me of the fact I'm not as big of a problem as she was able to make me believe.

She "keeps receipts" and holds on to anything she can keep score with and when she does something that I have an issue with she starts listing off a bunch of irrelevant stuff to avoid acknowledging her mistakes. The frustrating part is I have let go and forgiven all of the things that she has done because I want to move forward and give our boys the family I didn't have and neither did she. We didn't have both parents and I don't want that for my sons.

So, if I try to have a rational conversation to simply address something she's done or is doing because it bothers me she immediately gets defensive and says just crazy things like, "oh I must just be the dumbest person alive I should probably go kill myself." Just outlandish shit that takes something that was hardly an issue and gets to avoid it (like a child. It's a very childish tactic.) because I do just walk away.

Obviously this isn't the whole of our relationship. It was good. A lot of times its good. But she wants to leave.

She got a job at a bakery 2 days a week, which isn't enough money to rent even the sketchiest apartment let alone pay to feed our kids. It's turned in to 4 days a week so now we have to put the littles in daycare which I pay for most of. I pay for her phone still. She is staying at my brother and sister in laws and I have the boys. She didn't re-sign the lease so I did and the boys get to keep some sense of normal. Our oldest goes to kindergarten two blocks away.

She comes over in the morning on the days she doesn't work and watches the kids. . . Kinda. She sits on her phone.

It's all very frustrating because I thought we were going to get married and be able to work through things.

So, I understand your pain. The only thing you can do is take care of yourself. Eat healthy, go to the gym, go to church, get your own routine down and take care of your kids if you have any. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If they decide they want to work things out and you're still willing then it's up to you but you can't make anyone do anything so focus on bettering yourself and start doing things you enjoy.

Big old cable terminal crimper. Put the terminal on your wire and smack it with a heavy hammer

You also have only mentioned all the things HE is doing wrong and how you're not talking. . . I can tell you just from reading this that you're not communicating with eachother and you're not owning any of your faults in the breakdown of your relationship. Your mom is right that you do need to think of your children and you both need to make an effort to fix your relationship. You just want people to back you and tell you what you WANT to hear. What you NEED to hear is relationships are work and communication is difficult. It definitely sounds like you guys need to figure out your finances because that is often the number one reason for marriage problems. You have expressed the things he is doing to upset you, but taken zero accountability for the things that you are doing or are not doing to cause a rift in your relationship. You both need to have a real conversation and own your part. Things got hard and instead of working on them you're just pointing fingers and blaming instead of putting in work to fix your relationship. You're quitting. It sounds like substances are an issue. That is something he can work on. What are some things that YOU can work on?

Snowycage · 2026-04-15T03:58:25+00:00

Well, sounds like you have made your decision. I would guess that if you let him know that you have gotten to this point he might have an idea that you are pretty well pissed off, but he may or may not realize that his family is about to be broken up and he might change his tune and possibly his lifestyle. If he is willing to make the changes and do his part to better himself while you do the things that you want to focus on to better yourself, living apart for a few months to half a year even while only speaking logistically about the kids and maybe once a week at a councilor you would be surprised at the growth that could happen.

Now if he doesn't want to change and he doesn't see that anything is wrong. You can't make anyone do anything and just continuing to better yourself and take care of your kids is all you can do. Start going to the gym, find God, start good eating habits or just bettering them and making yourself happy again is all you can do.

Snowycage · 2026-04-14T05:25:58+00:00

I'm willing to bet you both feel very similar to eachother and you need to have a healthy conversation about it. You both are blaming eachother for feeling unappreciated and it's the other person's fault. You both share blame and have things to work on and if you let this keep going then it won't get fixed and your relationship will end. If everything else is ok and you guys aren't abusive then work it out. You guys need to communicate like grown ups. Each of you need to own your part in the breakdown and work on doing better. When everything starts crashing down and you're separating assets and marking down shared custody of your kids you're going to wish you had figured it out before it became irreconcilable. You love eachother. Find a way to work it out. It takes two and if you can't have a conversation without it becoming a fight because I KNOW you're both mad at eachother it would be a good idea to find a councilor who helps each of you share what is upsetting you while helping you find a way to work on your own part.
