    I THINK you know but in case you don't or others have no idea, it is the position they stick you in when you get old and slow on the soccer field because it is the place on the field where you can do the least damage to the team. Or the simple version is that it is the position that is primarily on offense and trying to score. :rofl:

    i always thought if the scope was sighted in it was the same for anyone. But found out later its not. Its definitely close but not the same for each person shooting.

    You have more labor in replacing just the boots then the complete cv axle.

    I don`t know any shop that will replace just the boots in my area.

    I have the kits the Cv axles ended up in the last load of scrap.

    I went with new Napa cv axles.

    If I followed that rule I would never be able to get anything done. .

    If it can be dropped I will no doubt drop it .

    I need to buy banjo bolt washers in bulk .

    And this is why you don't hook the suction and pressure ports together on your brand new $800 pump. 70365EB9-8A57-4F87-80AC-8B253B0C75BA.jpg

    You know those reflecting thingys that you check your make up in.

    Then I guess checking your mirrors is just a bad habit . I have from being so very old.

    Not quite as expensive as the person two days ago who came in with an $1800 Gemini pump and valve assembly that got started brand new without oil in it... seized solid in less than 10 minutes.

    Out checking my pasture hear sum gun fire not unnormal but this is close, then I hear the tumble thru the brush. Zip back to the house grab the drone and pop it up they were shooting thru a old semi trailer pointed at my property I call over to them and they meet me at the fence. I ask why there shooting flat into a trailer , it’s just a 22 and where teaching gun safety. I asked what on the other side he said junk. I said Me and my pasture and the neighbors horses lol. I told the a 22 will kill some one just as good as any other bullet. Amazing to me I will target shoot in my berm we made below grade and I only shoot on the property at deer from my elevated stand in my special area . Never flat.

    Afternoon guys. Seemed to have fixed my stovepipe problem.. ended up pulling the rod out of the damper flap and knocking the damper out. This unit doesnt require one anayway...its a top draft sealed unit. Then i brushed out the pipe which had choked down to 4" from 6".. burning nice now and no back puffing.
    Anyone here a home builder? We will be rebuilding in the near future and while i can handle quite a bit of work without further instructions, theres a lot i dont know. Example, how tall can a stove stack be? Any ideas on running hydronic floor heat?
    Us rural Alaskans are not subject to code or permit, so im willing to do things differently as long as different is still safe and reliable.

    As flat as Florida is I would think that would be a major concern.

    What is behind your target should be in the top 5 of Gun Safety .

    When I worked on the road I looked for fresh bullet holes when I got home.

    Reminds me of some clueless person wants to see the pattern from his 12 gauge

    Old Wagon shed in need of paint fires a round at the sliding Door hears the sound of water hitting the ground and condenser venting .

    A very expensive lesson on whats behind your target and being stupid.Full payment for complete repair is all that kept him out of the concrete motel. Some type of Plea Bargin.

    At least 25 years ago I can`t recall just what model of John Deere Tractor

    The thing with a Stove stack you don`t want to go any higher then needed.

    You don`t want the pipe temperature to drop to low you want a good strong draw the stack temp drops to cold you get the dragon puffing and smoke inside.

    Big difference with the insulated 3 wall chimneys then bare smoke pipe.

    In floor heat you will love nothing like that warm concrete slab. Outside Wood fired Boilers are Popular in my area . The down side going outside to feed the beast in a blizzard .

    Insulation below the pipe keeps the heat from going down as well.

    The sides of the slab also need insulation

    New concrete floor or planing a new layer over the newly installed pipe ?

    I have seen charts on the amount of pipe per area to heat where a rare few days below freezing compared to weeks below zero is a tad different .

    Like any system you can make it to fit your needs.

    If I was pouring concrete I would install the pipe even if I had no plans at the time to install the rest of the system.
