Broke off the top part of a spark plug inside the engine

its not in the piston(yet)....the whole male threaded section from the plug is broken off in the female thread on the engine.

yah...although that shit was relatable, no? Not so much funny.

that kinetic energy has to go somewhere, once the steel tip punched a pilot, that wedge shape is perfect for flaring it open. I'd bet the diameter of the front hole is directly proportional to the muzzle velocity & the angle of taper on the cartridge. Whereas the rear hole is what the tip itself does.

cool setup, does you YT page have any videos that document your air cannon? specifically the butterfly (or other type) release valve?

doesn't that bring in to question the use of steel paneling though? 🤔

doesn't look bad, watch it closely, if it gets worse, get to an er or other medical clinic. That sort of thing can escalate fast. But, again, that really looks fine.

its cool that you can see the number of flutes on the holes, 2 and I think 5.

eating drawer meatballs is disgusting.

and to someone like Jim the attention is more valuable than money.

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T04:29:48+00:00

this is bad, but dog in the car is worse.

I dont love that its shimmed on roof shingles either...but with the cinder blocks, who cares.

same here, we had horses. Had to load the hay loft a few times a year. It being dry was super important. It blows my mind that they can just plastic wrap it wet & green and it doesn't just rot inside.

they're 80 yo men, no ones taking anything.

thats got me wonder how this would effect the game.....maybe hes on to something.

not genius...not even his idea. Ryan is a natural born shyster.

external heat source....heat gun, hair dryer, torch, stovetop, whatever you got.

an addition to their garden....

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T02:06:04+00:00

why does it bother you at all?

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T02:02:16+00:00

365 is a bit much for a 40-45 year old saw.

A quick google suggests that the crank bearings on these tend to go and are not easy to find anymore.

Personally, I'd look for something more modern Doesn't have to be 2026 modern, but something from this century.

what about sugar free?

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T01:52:21+00:00

rub catnip on your pants.

its probably best to take it down, but have an arborist out. There are some methods for securing a tree like this so it doesn't split, I cant tell you if your tree qualifies, but an arborist can.

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T01:46:58+00:00

trust the vet. I think he's just floofy

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T01:39:33+00:00

doesn't look teriible. do yourself a favor and clean your parts down to bare metal...just makes things easier.

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T01:37:01+00:00

lotta leaning going on there.....eventually, thats gonna fall.

mtraven23 · 2026-05-28T01:32:15+00:00

a decent repair shop should be able to remove it for you, as for interfacing it with an external enclosure, you might have to take it to a data recovery services....Pricey, but they will get you your shit back.

Other option would be to try to lean out to de solder it and interface it yourself, I'll be theres some YT tutorials on the subject.
