    Welp... My new PC grenaded, the CPU started dying 3 weeks after I hooked it up.

    Amazon sent me a new one and it seems to be working well.

    I'm healthy, spring is here, we are getting our country back and the Starlings are back. I just got back from the dentist, I finally got my bridge and I'm heading out to the shop to work on some airguns.

    Been wondering what happened to you. Working any fun new mods?

    The bottom fell out of the conversion market with the new parts becoming available and with the quick adapters disappearing.

    I'm diversifying some and working on learning CAD software.

    I'm around but studies have swallowed up much of spare time.

    I'm also looking for design work so if you have an idea, let me know.

    Funny day; angry people, online drama, lots of nonsense.

    It's all good, I'm betting someone out there is making better decisions and I'll be getting more work. Win-win?

    I'm kinda bummed... I had some stuff about pronouns, inauguration day blues, gender identity all loaded up in the rhetorical magazine. But yeah, funny day. Crony.

    Drama that lead to something is fine, drama for the sake of drama is a pain for sure.
    Me and my one friend disagree on a lot of things, i prefer that CUZ i do not need a echo chamber, and a new angle on some thing is always nice.
    But yeah there are also many saboteurs online that just want to derail a debate / argument for the " fun " of doing that.

    I will prefer a debate / argument where we will just have to disagree, VS a debate where in the end we find out we are on the same page.

    I can not recall when last a decease had me down for the count, i guestimate at least 3 decades.
    The annual flu epidemic / season here in Denmark, i might get a little runny nose or if its really bad a little sore throat, not enough to keep me in bed of course, or running to the pharmacy.

    I dont get it myself i live about as unhealthy as you can, salad for instance, i only get that in burgers.

    Danes disarmed forever, and in 2012 when they got wise on PCP airguns, they was instantly thrown in with regular firearms, so to get a .22 and up Air rifle you have to take a hunting license, learning things by heart that you can not do with your air rifle CUZ that would be illegal.

    Guy in video will see no counter argument from me, CUZ while a bit crazy i can spot insanity easy, and if anything we should do more about insanity in our countries.

    PS. i am amazed we have pitch forks here, CUZ that was largely what farmers used rebelling last in 1534 when farmers was pretty much just slaves of the land lords and higher ups in Denmark.
    Not that it changed anything, it was still poop until " modern times " hence why so many Danes went to America when they got the chance, CUZ fat chance here.

    The issue not even on the agenda here, that’s how whipped Danes are today, a sad shell of their former great self.

    Blue skies, windy, -7°F

    Kansas City will get 12-16 inches of snow today.

    For once, we have no snow on the ground up here.

    I have been procrastinating, it have really been OK weather just daum cold, and even with heat sources in the shed i have not been bothered going shooting.
    But if the forecast for THUR - FRI - SAT hold up i will have to go, CUZ by then i will suffering severe range withdrawal symptoms.
    Grund here in my part of little Denmark white but only just, but a little more are forecast for tomorrow but we are talking a couple of inches here.

    Warm days here ATM is like +2 to +10 deg C, and that is still way outside my comfort zone.

    -7F and no snow on the ground sounds very strange to me.

    Buried my Dad in late spring.
    The guy had a good run, and no church thing as none of us church people, but the chapel was filled to the brim, and many a worker song was sung, and many red union banners there.
    Dad was MUSH respected, even for a god damn Commie.
    The old guy was there for his people ( workers and especially masons ) in the end it also cost him his family CUZ the old peeps divorced in the end.
    Dad left home at 6 in the morning and was home again around 7 in the evening, that be on the not busy days.

    My condolences.

    MY WOOD SHED IS FULL!!! :ROFLMAO:

    I had two pretty serious physical injuries this past spring/summer that really hampered me from physical labor this fall but thanks to a great PT and a bit of grit and determination, I just put up the last of the 10 long cords of wood I need for heating our property this winter.

    Bring it on, Jack Frost! 😇

    Well if it was not for the distance, and shipping costs i would take any surplus off your hands, CUZ while the oven in the shot shed are no longer blasting thru the wood, then it have eaten a bit of our small stash.

    We probably need to cut / split more of the reserve stash in the 20 foot container, the old chainsaw / axe way, CUZ we grown very used to the shed being heated.

    No sir! Im keeping wood for next year, I want a full 2 year supply on site. (Inner hoarder speaks)

    Not a huge fan, but i would not out myself as a idiot by calling him the same, the guy is clearly anything but that.
    I also would not mind picking his brain for a while 1 on 1

    I got a new bench with a WALL!

    A lot more space so I can keep 2 each of parts on the table now and I can keep the big tanks on the table as well.

    Sweet!

    Very nice and good organization of tools.

    Slightly smaller than the living room table that is my work bench.
    It would be nice to have a room just for tinkering with things, but i can not afford the rent on a 3 or 4 room apartment, well at least not a apartment in a populated region of this small country.

    I could actually get a house in a rural area for the same i pay for my current apartment, also with more rooms, the problem is those houses are most often a pretty poor heating rating, meaning it will cost a lot to keep them warm

    I built a 20 ton press with a 12V powerpack about a decade ago and while its very strong, its very slow due to the huge cylinder and it makes production too slow to be useable.

    I inherited a second press that's half the size and has a cylinder half the diameter so that will increase the cycle time by X3.

    Cool?

    The powerpack was bad so I bought a new one and this one has a 2 button pendant that I hate and I'm going to swap that out for a 2 position joystick. Or so I thought.

    Problem is, it's a 4 wire switch, a 2 position 4 NO is needed but one does not exist at affordable prices. I had to build my own.
