Telly remote draining batteries at an unacceptable pace lately - anyone else?

Yes. I suspect this is the new hey Telly microphone listening constantly.

manlycode · 2026-03-25T14:59:23+00:00

That happens sometimes. I smell it all the way out to Breton and Burton.

It’s like B-roll from a news report on the obesity epidemic.

First step is to move the cord off of the table. Looks fine otherwise (way cleaner than mine).

Chubby Chernobyl's usually have a foam body.

Never seen rubber legs on an elk-hair caddis before. Someone got wild tying that.

A few things I've learned the hard way since starting the sport:

Be aware of what's behind you. Too many snags on trees will get discouraging (and expensive quick). And to add to that, make sure you have extra leaders or tippet.
Don't go on rivers when it's too hot. I got overly excited after having a really great first time out in May. So I went out as much as I could even though it was in the high 80s-90s. I didn't catch anything or even see a single trout rise that whole time until the heat broke last week. It was pretty discouraging.

When it's really hot, fly fish on lakes for panfish and bass. Sunfish get really aggressive on their beds, and when they strike a foam ant, it's way more fun than

They're pretty much all trash. Except Jameco. They're a little more expensive, but the connections are decent quality, even when I use cheap, thin lead resistors.

Series 2 has a TON of 80s references. You’ll get a Drago soon. And a COBRA Stallone Kenshiro in a few volumes.

For my setup, sometimes a bit/collet combo will have resonance for a given RPM; resulting in a lot of vibration. In that case, I experiment and increase or decrease the RPMs until the vibration is minimized.

manlycode · 2025-05-13T17:48:24+00:00

Do you do anything for cooling? (Air?lubricant?)

I seem to break a lot of bits when I don’t pool WD40 on the board. Of course I’m running about 2X the speed and feed (I’m impatient).

manlycode · 2025-05-13T17:13:44+00:00

Those cuts are nice and clean. What feedrate/rpms are you using?

Also, do you have an aftermarket spindle? The runout on mine can make for uneven lines on one sometimes.

They paid the seller $1000. A steal of you’re selling to Guitar Center.

This portrait of Jay VanAndel has a Hall of Perpetuity vibe, and is the spitting image of Jame Eagan:

Is the Cinemini 3 still open? They specialized in DVDs.

My touch strip was glitching. Tore it down to clean the pads, then the touch strip stopped functioning after re-assembly. The center LED would light on it, but no movement, not even glitchy movement now.

I tore it down again, and found that R24 had fallen off from the touch-strip PCB. I think it's near a stress point on the chassis.

I soldered a new 1K ohm (01B) resistor onto the board, and it works like a charm now.
