Competent diagnostic equipment is very expensive and so it the software for each brand/line. For a small shop it's just not feasible to buy it all.:(

Today I learned I could fell a tree even if I totally misread the lean. Turns out gravity is in charge.

That's a nice piece of timber. Felling is the easy part, catching is tough. ;)

You're supposed to be able to throw your hat out there and land the trunk on it. Takes a minute to get yer hat back.

And don't throw the hard hat out there, if you're good, it gets expensive.

Uncledigr tried it and I put a whole in his fedora.:cool: He wore that holed hat for years.

I hope you were wearing your brown pants.

Fortunately, it's too early in the season for white shoes.

Gravdigr 05-09-2019 09:42 AM

I mean really...Who wears white before Memorial Day? Pfft.

Today I learned about the Hells Bells. No, not Hell's, Hells. And they're not really bells, they just look like bells.

The article is a pretty interesting read.

In 1933-34 while the Great Depression was in full swing, Chicago staged "A Century of Progress International Exposition." This was a full blown Worlds Fair registered with the Bureau International des Expositions.

Their Motto was...
"Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms"

Today I learned that not all toilet flushing mechanisms are created equal. A few days ago, I picked up a $13 replacement mechanism at the local hardware store. It leaked worse than the mechanism I was replacing. :mad:

Pro tip: pass on everything that isn't a Fluidmaster 400AH High Performance Toilet Fill Valve[/url]. About $6.50 at Walmart.

You'll thank me later. ;)
