Steamboat shows a base of 31in. I’m thinking less in many areas. We live a bit north and we probably got 12in on Tuesday alone. 11 of 23 lifts open, 36 of 181 trails, and opening quickly from this point forward.
Helmets are still Darwinian, got a bit more thinning out the herd…
Looks like they have the ice, I mean snow, machines going full blast. There are a few ski hills within 1.5 - 2 hours of here (Devil's Head, Cascade, Chestnut, and Sundown). I skied one of those every winter weekend in high school. Then in college we skied in Colorado. Pretty much ruined midwest skiing for me
So I picked up a new to me table saw, and replaced the bearings and belts. In doing so I removed and reinstalled the top, and it got me thinking, how many guys buy a table saw and just assume it's set up properly. So I'm going to throw this out there, you need to adjust the top, even with a brand new saw. It's a simple thing to measure from the front and rear of the blade to the miter slot. You should use a digital caliper and dial it in as close as possible, and after that adjust the fence to the miter slot. If you get it dialed in, your life will be easier, and obviously some of you guys know this stuff, but for the guys who are struggling to make square panels, ADJUST YOUR SAW. Lol
Just make sure you use the SAME datum on the blade for both front and back measurements to the miter slot, and all is well - don't forget that all blades have runout.
That didn't take long to clean. I rearranged things this weekend and it dawned on me that my drill press table could pull double duty on the out-feed side of the table saw. It only took me 25 years to figure that out!
Some thoughts from a musician, sound engineer and speaker designer. Some general thoughts then a look at Miles' Kind of Blue and Hotter Than July by Stevie Wonder.
Buddy of mine was going through his Super 8 tapes to have them transferred and found that video. I had it transferred, doctored up the audio a bit and added the captions. Pretty cool to have that bit of history👍🏻 For those that don't know me, I'm the bass player. We were together till about 2005ish. When Marilyn Manson came out, we changed the name to Noise Bucket. At that time we also ditched the rhythm guitar and got a different drummer.
oops , grabbed the wrong thread previously to post to ....
Had to pick up a new battery for the XJ today , the two year old megatron interstates, after two years, wouldnt take a charge, even after cooking it for a day on the charger. I ended up getting a duracell "ultra" 690 CCA this morning hoping this one will last longer , 210 bucks! What brand have you guys used that have lasted longer than two or three years? P.S. I do not run any accessories or stereo system in this vehicle.

Bro was hittin it up with the wah wah and the Charvel ! You guys had good chops!
Thanks! Was a great time. That club/bar was a great place to play. Saw many national acts come through there. Shaun, the lead player/singer was good friends with the guy that booked the bands. We got to open for Accept, Slaughter, and Ronnie James Dio. 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
The wife is doing an xmas craft show thing tomorrow. So I did some last minute display builds... A 15" two tier lazy susan. And she had a couple of these bamboo trees for displaying ornaments. So I replaced the narrow bases with pine and lazy susan spinners as well. Much less tippy.
True the 12" lazy susan bearing seems like it would reasonably be able to handle the off center weight without sagging/leaning too much. The smaller dia. ones not so much.

Opening for RJD !! Real treat/rush, yes?
Splendid and the video was fun to watch, Eric - you still have all that hair, man?
Just finished the new Netflix series Senna last night. I thought it was very good and would recommend it. Interesting how it is told through the Brazilian rather than Hollywood lens. Also, the “making of” episode was more than worth the watch to see how they did the cars and tracks

There's a rinky-dink ski hill about an hour north of Des Moines and it is also white.

Reminds me of the hill in Mansfield Ohio- fun memories

It's currently 17 so plenty cold to make snow at Seven Oaks.
Funny how good AI can be...

Walter, our mini schnauzer puppy, hates cryptic crosswords - I left the book too close to the edge of the table and he found it:

As bitchin as that was, it was missing a blistering guitar solo.

This is what I bought.

Nice!!
I tune my saw up at least once a year. I use my dial indicator to keep everything straight.
You've reminded me that I need to scrape, sand, & seal the top of my old Craftsman saw again. It's the price I pay for using it as a glue-up surface.
I'm so anal about my tools - my saw top gets carnauba wax twice a year and looks brand new.
Mine looks...well loved!

What makes a great recording?

When she is done with them you can convert them to a speaker measurement stand - very stealthy . . .
I was thinking the same thing....
