Flipped it over. Used chain hoist. Blade adjuster works perfectly fine now. Little liberation did it good. Wait? Lubrication. Need to remove all the lumber from lofts and add a few diagonal braces to roof so don't pull it down on my head. Then put the boards along/next to the walls. Orange wire...

Stirred some stuff around, put the stand back on the newest/old saw that I lubricated everystuff, finally cleaned out a couple large totes, put them in the loft. Pulled 7092 nails out the 2x4's from the pallet and put them up in the loftish area. Put stand on the $20 saw bought hoping to use the...

Back was fine yesterday afternoon and killed again this morning?

Walked to mailbox. Found that about 100' from my trailer 5G kicks in! In my trailer get one bar of 4G. Phone stuff be weird. Haven't eaten anything yet. Really not hungry. Hmmmm? Maybe some quickie mashed tators?

Went out to the shed and checked the new/old saws blade height adjuster after it soaked in PB Blaster overnight. At least 75% improvement in cranking torque of dial. The arbor pivot pin for this function is a light press fit thru the casting, so while it can move easily enough, no slack. Would...

Woke up middle of the night and: Guess lifted something around 25-30lbs yesterday annnnd, see above. Along with the broke back, fried pork chop & eggs last evening and apparently didn't get the chopper done enough. While trying to get my broken back realigned by wiggling around, lying on one...

Ordered some Double D 40 special lube. Could have just driven maybe 6 mile round trip to get it but...nah. Amazon needs the work. Let me check and see if the order that was scheduled for yesterday is still scheduled for today. Ahhhh! Says it's in the mailbox. Probably be there next time I go...

Need to do something with those two cabinets. Really need to do something with the fried motor DeWalt saw that's taking up nearly 6 foot of space in the corner.

Looking up it's skirt. Guy said the blade height adjuster was stiff. He's correct. Think it OD'd on blue pills. Or the arbor needs lubrication at the pivot point. Squirted liberally with couple versions of PB Blaster and it works. Meh. 75% better. Tempted to drill very small home in the casting...

These are available. Check out the threads on the four bolts that retain the airbag.

While I saw the bolts didn't even consider removing them. Figured they had good Loctite and quite possibly would ruin the threads coming out. I didn't really think too much about it. If had it to do over would have tried it on the old one. Whoops. I'll take the old one apart tomorrow too see how...

Just dawned on me, I'm an idiot. Could have swapped the "horn bars" over by removing two Torx bolts on each side. Jebus Christmas dude. If go to LKQ and find a vehicle with airbag off, I'll get them with the wiring attached. Put it back like it should be. My brain:

Couldn't wait. So...hackery. Worst case the horn sticks on. This wheel is the leather bound version. Feels great!🥰 Should have purchased the dash cover 25 years ago. Dash is completely ruined from the sun.

Main drivers of NASCAR viewership falling off, in my expert opinion, are: 1. Car culture is dying/dead. For most people under age of 35 a car is both a luxury and a tool. No more value that the washing machine. Like the washer, can just go to the laundromat, Uber. 2. Too many channels to keep...

Ordered solder. Since the wires are ground wires could just solder them to where others are attached to the wheel. It has plenty of slack. Hmmm? Issue will be getting it hot enough to stick since wheel will be a huge heatsink.
