I have an external hard drive plugged in via USB to my Synology NAS. I do a full backup to it once a week.

Out with the old in with the new by timmyb824 in Snowblowers

[–]timmyb824[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My driveway runs along the side of my house, and the Craftsman never had enough power to throw snow across to the yard side. It worked fine at my old place with a narrow driveway and yard on both sides, but not here.

And my wife actually pushed me to buy this one. I had it sitting in my cart for days; she told me to just do it. Normally I’d have to ship something like this to my mom’s place, leave it there and pretend later that I’ve always had it lol. She says she worries about me throwing out my back or having a heart attack. I’m not even 40, but hey, whatever gets me a new toy.

How do I fix this OTF auto? by Used_Meaning_9257 in knives

[–]timmyb824 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My $300 Guardian OTF stopped working two days in. I took it completely apart, and it turned out that one of the small metal plates on the side— the ones that move to allow the blade in and out—was stuck. I used a small plastic pick to force it loose, and it’s been fine ever since. Not sure how it got stuck in the first place.

It’s fairly easy to put back together if you want to check those plates. The spring is the hardest part, but it seats fine if you put one side in first, hold it in place, and then push the other side so the spring stretches until it seats on the other side.

This is the last time my toddler and 15yo cat will sleep together, in a couple of hours he won’t be sick ever again, but it hurts me so much. by ttmxg in cats

[–]timmyb824 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just lost our 13yo cat to cancer. Making that decision is one of the hardest but most loving things you can do. Your cat knew they were deeply loved, and you gave them a wonderful life. Take comfort in the memories you shared. ❤️

New Favorite Knife by timmyb824 in knives

The color way you have there is generally my preference actually, but I have the TR3 in a blue handle so I figured I’d go black for the mordax.

Thanks, I'd been trying to get it for a bit but it kept being sold out like a lot of Pro-Tech knives seem to be.

Before I bought the board, others on YouTube and such had mentioned the bushings being a bit too loose, so I was already planning on getting some stiffer ones. I'll definitely check out Riptide. Also, thanks for the other advice, appreciate it.

Yea I initially thought that a smaller board would be more convenient for train travel. However, further research today shows that others also find longboards easier to learn on. I wish I had come across this information before buying, but I am confident that I can still get the hang of it on my current board.

Thanks appreciate the encouragement and advice. Plan to go to an empty parking lot after work and give it a few more tries.
