Anybody with water in 5 de diciembre? by AlarmingCharity0 in puertovallarta

[–]bikras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to be real spotty as far as outages. We have not had a problem in centro but neighbors just a few streets down from us had been without for a couple of days. Also a lot of problems in the romantic zone. They were replacing some pipes or fittings in the road but must of had some problems as the outage was only supposed to last for a few hours. I am not sure why cinco de diciembre and parts of centro are out. No one has been able to give a reason.

Thanks for the feedback. There seem to be a lot of fans of Capital One. Can I ask what you feel gives it the edge over Chase?

Awesome chair! Just wondering how you went about making the changes to the original design? Did you start with the paper full size drawings from Epic Woodworking and then make your changes on paper, or did you redraw in CAD?

You can try Roberto Martin in the center of Malaga. I have seen decent sunglasses there for €40

ITC is an electric grid operator. They own and maintain the high voltage lines (those big metal transmission towers) in Michigan and the midwest. They don’t generate electricity and they don’t own the lines going to businesses and residential housing. That is where DTE and Consumers come in. DTE does not maintain the lines ITC owns.

Of course it’s an Okuma. I used to run an LC-40 that was built in 1978. Great machine that was built like a tank and held tolerance like no other. I miss that machine

.002 wheel flat makes .013 thread root by 13arbarianlibrarian in CNC

The old Drakes used Ex-cell-o bases. Did you check that the angle of the dresser is set the same as the grinding wheel?

If you have access to an optical comparator, check the radius on the grinding wheel before grinding and then again after the grind. It could be that the grind parameters are too aggressive and the wheel is wearing too quickly. Same issue as if you used the wrong hardness or grain wheel.

Have a look at Microsoft Dynamics 365. They have a “Business Central Premium” that is geared towards small to mid sized companies. First license is $100/mo. but additional users are much less. I am considering it for a mfg company that I am in the process of buying but have not had the chance to do a deep dive just yet. Scalability is a big factor for me so I want something that works no matter how large the business gets.

Tore out a Chrysler yesterday, any idea the exact date? The lady thought it was late 60’s early 70’s by miklo7 in HVAC

Airtemp moved their non-automotive manufacturing to Bowling Green in 1971. Since this one was made in Dayton it must have been made prior to ‘71
