    Dexter

    The ritch frat guy is horribly caricatured. So is the hunting. Otherwise, fun to see Dex again.
  2. 3 or 4 cylinders wouldn't hold compression. Rebuild may not have been successful, so not work the risk. That's what they said. That lid in the garage is a Carrera S.

    Hoping to start it this weekend with my old dad in town.
  4. I considered it, but I think that would be overt. If someone gets the costume as is, great. If I have to explain it, then I won’t like them (well at least, I will think less of them….as a person). Olds and kids excluded from my horrible, punitive judgement.
  5. It’s not? I just remember pigs eating feet and Rambo Ramboning pig owners. Sounds close.
  6. https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/round-rock-new-motor-avalanche-ltznew/7397237713.html NEW MOTOR! 3yr/100k WARRANTY! NEW INTERIOR! NEW TIRES & BRAKES! 35k on transmission. Runs and looks like new. Cold AC. I still get compliments from strangers every day in this Avalanche LTZ 4WD! 255k chasis miles. Hood paint has failed and some hail damage (easily and cheaply repaired). This is not a work beater. This is a desiarable model of truck that is ready to give another 15 years of service. I'm tempted to store it for a few years until my son is old enough to drive. You won't find a better Avalanche!
  7. In honor of Norm, I'm dressing up as Terd Ferguson. Funny hat, bolo tie, red shirt, leather jacket, mustache; it's going to be great!
  8. Mostly residential for right now. I've done lots of commercial in the past though, so it would be in the plan.
  9. I think my heater had its last summer. Sensors and boards have been replaced several times. (It also said er13) New water puddle too Any recommendations for repairs? I also will need the pebble finish redone eventually. Thanks!
  10. Not photos, but I got to play with a friends iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil. I drew these last night. I thought they were cool, but the gummy I took was hitting pretty hard too.
  11. I posted this in the vintage stereo thread too. I studied composition a little after college. I like how the lines lead the eye and the colors are cool. It’s unedited, so it could be improved with some lighting adjustments. Any comments on my amateur effort appreciated.
  12. I am looking for a book keeper and CPA for my construction company. Maybe a business lawyer too. I definitely need to review my insurance too. Business is booming, and I need to do a better job of delegating what I can. Plus CYA better in my contracts and liability. Thanks! #OUsux
  13. Looking for a SATA cable for my son’s jalopy pc build. Bonus cool vinyl pic

    I have to set the timing at some point.

    This is a real treat. The book is beautiful. The instructions are integrated into stories and photography/old adds.
  16. I thought someone would like that. Almost everything else is from A&B TV. I probably have $25k in receipts from them (not just this build, other rooms and tvs and stuff).
  17. It's on wheels and can move around. However, I slid the rack in before the doors were installed. I found out that the rack doesn't fit through the hung doors front or back. Here's the kicker: I installed exterior grade solid core doors with weather stripping (I ordered them with thresholds also, but that was ugly and didn't work with the floors). You see, the rack front door opens into the living area. The black back door is hollow core and opens into the laundry room. The laundry room door to the hallway and the rack front door are the exterior type (HEAVY) doors with weather stripping. The purpose is to contain the laundry room noise into the laundry room and rack closet. I don't really need to remove the rack because it is so accessible with the back door. Removing a heavy door would be a total PIA. Note that the rack has front and back rails. That's how I got the Unifi, battery backup, and other wire management looking the way it is. I spent about a month in the back of the rack making all the wires and management.
  18. I have a binder full of design plans and receipts. Top picture is my dream rack design in 2004 or 5. The last pic is of the framing: I designed it to support a future wall mount for a heavy plasma. The 2.5" conduit runs up into the attic and then there's another double drop into the electrical closet. Those conduits were maxed out when I was running the tripple coax video x2 plus various other DVI (super expensive 75' back then), sub cable, other coax, etc. I cleaned it out when HDMI came around. I also have sub-drops in the back two corners of the living room in case I wanted to run multiple subs. I could never get them to tune well in the back though, so I just let the M&K THX MK-350 with double sealed 12" drivers do the job.
