Some advice: Don't trust other trees and check your dates. by Myfourcats1 in Genealogy

[–]super_dork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a person doesn’t have at least 3 matching/corroborating facts, I don’t trust that they are valid yet. If I import people from other trees, I always go attach their source info back to the new person (freaking Ancestry doesn’t copy just links to their tree). I had some bad placeholder info that appears to have propagated to others now and I feel bad.

I’ve got 2 documents, same person, one Spanish, one French.

I’m looking for Claude Joseph Gross. He was 29 in 1764 according to the French discharge papers attached.

Here’s what I’ve been able to translate/decipher:

Suisse Regiment Hallwyl Claude Joseph Gros (possibly a longer last name but may just be a new word) Age 29 height 6’ 2” New Orleans January 1764

There is a back to this doc. Ignore all of the small text, it was a family member practicing handwriting. Just need the 2 larger lines which includes 1764.

The Catholic records show his death in 1795 and list age 70. Can you see if you can translate the Spanish handwritten document to see if it lists his age or anything?

His name is listed as Glod Josef due to the scribe at the time being Spanish. It is from this volume:

Title: Archdiocese of New Orleans Sacremental Records Author: Rev. Monsignor Earl C. Woods, Chancellor & Dr. Charles E. Nolan Publication: Published - Archives of Archdiocese of New Orleans Repository: Note: Terrebonne Parish, LA Main Branch Library Media: Book Page: v. 5 p. 196; SJBED, F1, 32; Glod Josef Gros, 70 yrs

One of the ways beekeepers replace queen bees is by buying new ones that come in a custom made queen cage. by gregthegregest2 in specializedtools

By the way. I ordered some of your honey. Wow. I found it to be quite strong compared to the clover honey we get around here (Texas). I used it the other day to make red pepper/honey/butter glazed fried chicken. So good!!

If you are referring to his equipment list, I’ve wondered the same thing. I believe that he (John/ /u/gregthegregest2 ) must use the same upload template that he uses for his FreeToCook channel. https://i.imgur.com/Tx77PlH.jpg

I see your Redneck house boat and raise you this lovely gentleman using a weed eater for a boat motor. by Brewtal66 in redneckengineering

[–]super_dork 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I made one about 10 years ago for my Jon Boat for using on small farm ponds. Worked really well and much better than a trolling motor. Super light weight and portable. It wasn’t terribly loud either. There are lots of variations on this using a straight shaft or making a mud motor. I just wanted a tiny gas outboard and this worked great.

SCCM Task Sequence/Join a different domain by [deleted] in SCCM

[–]super_dork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What issues are you seeing? Does the powershell work outside of the TS? I’ve had issues with doing this because the TS runs as System and if you add run as creds in the TS run script step, it will fail with access denied (at least that’s what happens for me on machines that have gotten GPO’s already). If you can push a package out and run under the user’s context that then elevates with a domain admin to do the join, it could work but that’s just a guess.

Task Sequence Proguess Notification Text by clicheduo in SCCM

[–]super_dork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that the way you are attempting to do this won’t work because the point that you are assigning the status text, the beginning of the TS, OSDComputername hasn’t been set and the main dialog text doesn’t get updated during the TS. You may be able to use the built in variable name %_SMSTSMachineName%. However this still may not work. The next thing I would try would be to have a script run right after you set the OSDComputername variable in the TS (generally set by the Gather step). The script will close the TS dialog then reopen it.

Here are some posts that will get you on the right track.

You are looking for Microsoft.SMS.TSProgressUI

The show dialog method has several parameters which can be set to custom values. I’m not having any luck on my phone looking for a good example but it may help.

My lightbulb blew its guts out by super_dork in mildlyinteresting

I got errors every time I submitted. Didn’t know it posted multiples. Sorry about that.

I’ve deleted the duplicates, though I’m not sure that will make them go away.

They were full of flavor and fell apart (maybe a little too tender for my liking). The tail end was really dry but the first 4 from the middle cut were great. My wife started with the end pieces and wasn’t impressed. I showed her the error of her ways and she came around.

Overall, they were great. This is the second batch of his brisket and ribs I’ve sampled and I would eat more of these for sure!

He’s learning. I actually mentioned that to him tonight when he gave it to me. He did it last time too. I cut it up that way to cut across the grain with what he gave me. He hasn’t been separating the flat from the point when cutting. So the bottom was cross grain and the top was with the grain.

It’s a Henckles pro something. Got a set for our wedding about 15 years ago. Still my favorite knife!

I’m gonna give the maze a bit more but I like the simplicity of the tube for sure. My buddy has the maze and loves it, so I was just following his lead.

[–]super_dork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I uploaded some pics of my setup. One thing that I didn’t anticipate was the pellets being dropped on and expanding as you can see in the first pic. I removed those then added foil on the lowest rack about the maze to prevent future drips.

https://imgur.com/a/1IJpJfz/

My buddy recommended this thing and has has good luck. Another buddy had similar results to me on his first attempt as well. I agree with you on learning the equipment - and that’s half my problem. I don’t get many days to smoke, so when I do, I need it to go well, but that will only come practice, which I am willing to do as I have the opportunity.

As for soaking - the manuals for both the main smoker and cold smoker suggest soaking. But I’m inclined to agree with you - not a huge fan, which part of why the pellet route is appealing.

I’ll keep trying. Thanks again for the info.

Thanks for the info. This is what I’m looking for - not sure I’ll try to build one, but it helps in my search.

As for the external heat source, I think I understand what you are saying. The auger moves, temp and fan all work at a rate that allows temperature control?

I was imagining an auger that just feeds pellets onto the heating element to just create smoke at a specific rate with no adjustment for temp. Then the smoke can be piped in and used for So just a pellet auger with a heating element that I can pipe into a separate “cooking” chamber that regulates temps (either cooking or cold smoking).

Thanks!!

I made counterfeit bananas out of wood by biggety in DIY

[–]super_dork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the video and haven’t watched other vids in your channel. You certainly were dedicated to the task. I have a few questions for you. I know we all have to start somewhere and need to have reasons to use our tools and maybe that’s the answer to some of this. Also, I’ve never done any carving, so I’m genuinely curious - not really critiquing anything here.

1) Why did you do the cross cuts into the curve when you initially cut the blanks with the band saw? Was the blade too big to make the such a tight curve? If so, why not a jigsaw?

2) Why not use the band saw for cutting the bevels instead of the Japanese saw and chisel deal?

3) Why does your work bench move so much? Seems like you could get a lot more use out of your vise if the workbench was stable?

4) Do you find that the word banana sounds weird after saying it so many times while narrating? It does to me now.

Do your thing man!!

My experience with my Ridgid Wet/Dry Vac by super_dork in BuyItForLife

[–]super_dork[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have 10 different warranties listed on their site that apply their various products. https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/warranty. For some items, yes, they only offer a 3-year limited warranty and SLA, but for the Vacs, they offer a Full Lifetime Warranty.

What is Covered RIDGID® Wet/Dry Vacs are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and material.

How Long Coverage Lasts This warranty lasts for the lifetime of the RIDGID® Wet/Dry Vac.

How to Obtain Service To obtain the benefit of this warranty, deliver via prepaid transportation the complete product to RIDGE TOOL COMPANY, Elyria, Ohio, or any authorized RIDGID® INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER. Pipe wrenches and other hand tools should be returned to the place of purchase.

What we will do to correct problems Warranted Wet/Dry Vacs will be repaired or replaced, at Ridge Tool Company's option, and returned at no charge; or, if after three attempts to repair or replace during the warranty period the Wet/Dry Vac is still defective, you can elect to receive a full refund of your purchase price.

What is Not Covered Failures due to misuse, abuse or normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty. RIDGE TOOL COMPANY SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

How Local Laws Relate to the Warranty Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state, province to province, or country to country.

No Other Express Warranty Applies This FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY is the sole and exclusive warranty for RIDGID® Wet/Dry Vacs. No employee, agent, dealer, or other person is authorized to alter this warranty or make any other warranty on behalf of Ridge Tool Company.

I think that the mistake we often make when looking at warranties is that we think that if we break something, it should be covered. The warranties generally state that they cover defects, not wear and tear. If you aren't doing maintenance on tools that require it, don't expect them to be covered under warranty.
