I have nothing of importance to add today.
***Tuesderp GMT***
- Thread starter Pesqueeb
- Start date
Might be time for some educational videos. Show them a video about how Lions eat their defective offspring.
That and kids is a tough combo.
Liar - you *always* have something of importance to add.
OUT WITH IT, mf'er.
Guys! Guys! I've just uncovered actual footage of the first 29er wheel being built.
Is it still just sad moms that blog? cuz I should start a blog...Things I watch while I eat.
So friggin hot and humid here in San Antonio...
Sounds like a lot of contracts and accounting... not my favorite parts of the old job. New industry, new hopes to be shot down in the future.
Resume is in the mail... yup. They wanted it snail mailed... best wishes to the postal workers!!!!
Seems weird, but a good way of filtering out those unable to read and follow directions.
By the looks of their hipster attire, it's most likely a brakeless fixie.
I have known companies that have purposely made their application process difficult. Make it easy to apply for a job and get 1200 applications of which 1195 are shit. Make it difficult and you get 10 of which only 6 are shit.I'd see it as a giant red flag that was on fire.
Mail a resume?
WTF?
Actually had to apply for my current job twice. It turns out the first application never made it through the computer filter because I didn't check the box that said I was a "US person". I didn't know what that was and figured it was something that is not a citizen. The irony is that the second application was for the same job, but at a higher level that pays a hell of a lot more. Most profitable mistake I have ever made.

went to the mall and played where is my car with people looking for close parking spots....stress level plummeted....
bad case of FTS.
Did my shopping/errands.
Took the wheel I built in to have Tim check it out, redid eight spokes I failed to lace properly, then minor adjustments to dish, roundness, and wobble.
Dragged all the house plants in.

I called in a airstrike on my neighbors for being awful.
For me when I get to ride a wheel I built. It is quite satisfying. There are wheels I built 20 years ago still going today. I am not noted as a wheel builder either.
Well, Hymasa/Pothole Arch/cap'n Ahab was ridden today. There was plenty of footwork on the Ahab punchy up hills, I rode very conservative due to being solo.
Still so MUCH fun.
Did I mention that my bike rocks?

I have built a few hundred wheels over a 35 year bike nerd career, it is by far my favorite bike related activity (outside of riding or building trail).
I too have 20 year old wheels still going strong, which maybe means I don't ride them enough!

When did you stop being a bike nerd?
woodworking monkies, how square is square enough?
You don't have to go all slide rule and pocket protector, but basic eye protection at least.
Did you do an out-n-back on Pothole and skip Rockstacker? You should go back and do Hymasa/Rockstacker/Jackson's.
As square as you can get it, but I come from the high end milling machine world and I cringe when things don't have three zeros after the decimal point when it comes to a tolerance (at least in inches).
The table saw? Squaring the fence to the saw or the saw to the table?
Yes, I had 'unfinished business' on Ahab. That was enough for me today.
My shuttle is at 10:30, I don't know how far up I am going...
I made the mistake of doing Ahab at the *end* of Amasa -> Pothole -> Rockstacker -> Ahab. I was expecting Ahab to be all DH... which it wasn't.
Next time I'll do it right - Hymasa -> Ahab -> Hymasa -> Rockstacker -> Jackson's.
there ya have it, The new 2018 KTM 500 EXC F is finally in my stable and patiently awaiting the timbersled kit to arrive.
I think the fence is setup pretty well, but I think I need to check the parallelism of the blade to the miter slots. And I need to adjust the 90 degree stop on the saw, I think it is somewhere around 89.5 or so.
Check for run-out in the blade, if there is any align to the mid point between the high and low spots.
That's the best loop.I made the mistake of doing Ahab at the *end* of Amasa -> Pothole -> Rockstacker -> Ahab. I was expecting Ahab to be all DH... which it wasn't.
Next time I'll do it right - Hymasa -> Ahab -> Hymasa -> Rockstacker -> Jackson's.

Wifey reminded me of when we used to ride Porcupine as a loop.
Who the fuck does that anymore?
Granted, it wasn't TWE, which our local racing hotshot has done as a loop, with Burro included.
