    The never ending chat thread, chat about anything That your up too

    I think I've lost my iguanas a few times here too. The site has been very wonky over the last couple o' days.

    So it turns out,... USA won, and Kurt Russell was in a Stuporbowl commercial that referenced the movie. Good thing we watched.

    Crud. Hope the peripheral damage is light. :(

    Whats on TV

    In honor of the Winter Olympics, and today being a national championship day, Mrs. Avenger and I put this on the Blu-ray. Because watching three hours of talking head commentary about a football game makes my teeth itch, and for a change we wanted to see something on TV that made us...

    Its cold

    The plot congeals... I brought the thermostat indoors. Then brought it outdoors and plugged in a droplight. Low (temps) and behold. Let there be light. I also twisted it around to any angle I could think of, shook it, turned it again. The light never blinked. Frankly I'm surprised the...

    PENN SLAMMER III MAINTENANCE MISHAP

    If it was me, and it ain't, I would epoxy the broken piece back in, then through-drill it using the original hole as a guide. So the bolt would secure the original post as the bearing support. Is it worth the effort? Probably not, unless they keep failing. But I do goofy things like that...

    PENN SLAMMER III MAINTENANCE MISHAP

    Well, if you aren't concerned about appearances you could through-bolt it. It would be pretty bulletproof, but a bit odd looking.

    Found the problem... I'm out of °Fs to give:

    Its cold

    Sigh. Something went wonky with the ice eater controls and it failed to start. So I had to freeze my posterior off get it powered up and readjusted. Looks like the thermostat is the issue, but since it's going to be redonkulously cold all weekend I just plugged it in. LIPA is going to love me.

    PENN SLAMMER III MAINTENANCE MISHAP

    First guess: The screw was over-torqued at some point. It left the boss cracked and it was just a matter of time. If it's a blind hole it's also possible it wasn't deep enough, the screw was too long or whatever acts as a spacer was too short and the screw bottomed lifting the boss and...

    Probably should have left this in the garage fridge instead of just in the garage.

    It's a slang expression. As in "Slappin' that big bass fiddle."

    Anecdotal dad joke: I went to one of Avenger Jr.'s middle school concerts and the woman next to me (Not Mrs. Avenger) lamented that she felt bad for these kids who had to lug those big, heavy basses around.* Except she pronounced it like the fish. So I pointed out that since they had chosen the...

    Don't feel too bad. Lots of mediocre guitar players have a dozen guitars. Even though they can only play one at a time, and usually not that well.

    You know it's different from the fish, right?

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    Bad news kiddies... It's just entertainment. Not a documentary.

    Whats going on in the World

    Ah, the soft bigotry of low expectations shines through again. Leftys never fail to disappoint. But you'll cry to the heavens about an ICE agent shooting Renee Good when she committed vehicular assault. Amazing how people can't see the lens they look through. But if you can't follow the...

    Take no chances. Fire up the wood chipper and start sending them to lizard heaven.

    Well, this has ended badly. One of the hydraulic hoses for the trim tabs tore off. Phooey. :mad:

    I thought he was talking about Minnesotans.
