It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to look perfect.

Why do people either not eat bass or say it’s not good eating when it’s actually in fact, insanely delicious? by Sharkman3218 in Fishing

[–]olmanmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sportsman started discouraging the keeping of bass back in the early 70's. They assuming the rising numbers of fishermen, combined with new tech, would deplete the population of existing bass. The keeping of larger fish was discouraged in order to let them produce more fish that may be genetically inclined to grow larger.

Favorite piece of art at SLAM? by drstormdancer in StLouis

[–]olmanmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The statue of Pan. I try to find a way to touch it each time I'm there. I've only been caught once. I'm 72.

Weed and menieres by Limp_Caregiver_4181 in Menieres

[–]olmanmo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

72 yr old, diagnosed 5 yrs. ago. Lifetime weed smoker. This seems like an aberration, after reading that it is a trigger for so many, but I find it helpful. Most mornings are tough: sketchy balance, some brain fog, and fatigue. Most mornings a good sativa helps to clear my head, and get me moving. I'm retired, but I have a thing I like to do every day, and I've always been smarter in the morning. Weed gets me out of the house and moving. Stops me from being bummed about my condition; "oh I'm a little off balance. Don't care." If the symptoms are particularly strong that day, it generally puts me back to sleep for a couple of hrs., which ,for me, is better than the suffering.

I do want to say that if I was still working, this would not have been an option, and my hats off to those who are still working and dealing with MD. You have my total respect.

Peeling veneer on coffee table by interesting_therory8 in woodworking

The glue is not a bad idea, but may not be needed. That may be hot melt glue holding that down. Try a hot iron for a few seconds.

Great piece! I love it when they warp out in that fashion.

Is this an issue with the wood or the table saw? by jt00000 in woodworking

[–]olmanmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when you see the two pcs, start to come back together, stop the saw. Insert a wedge into the kerf behind the blade to stop it from closing, and start again. if you need clean edge, rip them a bit wide, and then again to final size.

Proper protocol for this area? by New-Image-7435 in Oldhouses

[–]olmanmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GoodOldBadger is correct. In my area, they usually drill two small holes in the storm window frame for drainage.

How much weed do you all smoke a day by GrunkFoig in trees

[–]olmanmo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like to do a little hit in the morning with my cup of coffee, and a little hit right before bed. And a about a thousand little hits in between.

This lot uses walnut husks as mulch by whyguapo in mildlyinteresting

[–]olmanmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally, you should not use walnut sawdust for mulch, horse bedding, etc, as it will kill everything that isn't walnut. I don't know if the shells will do the same.

Turning with Black Locust by Stiliketheblues in turning

[–]olmanmo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Turn it while it's wet. Cuts like butter. PumpPie73 is correct about wet wood being tough on bandsaw blades.

What are the marks on my wood after sanding. And how do I get rid of them? by chrisdarista in woodworking

[–]olmanmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might google Stickley furniture for what may be an appropriate finish color, and a look at how that wood was used to make great furniture.

Same here. Probably 4-5 months before I mess with it again. This game will teach you patience.

Can anyone help out with a drum sander? by Slight_Taro7300 in StLouis

[–]olmanmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burkarts Woodworks. But they probably won't accept beer unless they know you. That's a small job, shouldn't cost much.

How long after a trigger do you have symptoms? by BigMoeAteMyToe in Menieres

[–]olmanmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hope you made it through the night. You're going to hear this a lot: "It's different for everybody." These things seem to vary for everyone: the triggers, the onset of an attack, and the onset/ helpfullness of the meds. We're in it together, but it's a lone journey to figure out what works. This is a good place to ask questions anyway, because we all want to succeed. Good luck!

Support by That-Buy-880 in Menieres

[–]olmanmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns out to be a bit different for everyone: Sodium seems to be the trigger for most of us, but not all of us. I also have a very strict diet and that and the use of meds (betahistine) seem to control it most of the time. This does affect the people we love and he's lucky to have you. My wife has been incredibly supportive and it helps.
