and this is the part they waited almost a week for, a saddle tee to clamp over the existing pipe.

so I went to the boat parade on the river. Boats are nice but the odor is a bit off putting.

The city of Fort Lauderdale again had a 54″ forced sewer main break last Tuesday.

Sewage water was flooding the streets, some seeping into sidewalks, lawns, homes. They had thousands of sandbags to control it and eventually decided they had no way to fix it until the parts arrived next Monday (today).

So every day hundreds of thousands of…[Read more]

Are these barrels held together leak free simply from the pieces in compression?

By the way Bosch is making a autonomous shuttle.

How many points LOL?

Here is a video that discuss a bit more into Lithium ion batteries, battery chemistry, Tesla, Nissan Leaf, and some current projects.

I do not own a Tesla, I have friends that do. None of them have to replace their batteries yet.

All the info are just info announced by Tesla in their press releases and brochures. If Tesla’s employees or salesman are claiming contradictory information then I don’t know. I do not they made a big deal out of the million mile battery because the…[Read more]

Here are some of the OMT adapters I have. I have two more somewhere I am too lazy to find LOL.

I remember now which OMT has the magnetic interface I mentioned in an earlier post, it’s the Dremel MM40-05. It has a “Innovative Quick Hold™ magnetic accessory interface holds the accessory in place while changing accessories so you don’t have to.”

Since Dremel is a Bosch company, I assume sooner or later the magnetic blade pickup and easier…[Read more]

With a camper and more surface area, Telsa said there will be special solar panels to mount on the camper to charge the battery to extend the range.

Supposedly a lot of specialty accessories are being planned on the camper for the Cybertruck.

I do think the battery performance will be lower in extreme cold.

I know the Model 3 has a “chill mode” not sure what it does though. These Tesla also have a dedicated heater to warm the cabin and battery which is not from the actual car battery. Not really sure what powers it. From my understanding you use a Tesla app on your phone to turn on…[Read more]

A new battery for a model 3 is around $3000 to $7000 depending on the option. They are warrantied for 8 years and so if within 8 years you have problem it’s a free replacement. They claim a battery should last over 300,000 miles to 500,000 miles and last I heard they are close to a battery that will not degrade for a million miles.

That’s crazy…but that hole is very big to fit a human, that wasn’t drilled with an auger lol.

I think you are referring to the Bosch OMTs before Starlock? As far as I know Starlock, Starlock Plus and Starlock Max…[Read more]

Lol but I don’t understand you drill a hole and sink your line in, the hole is small right? Like two inches? So what if a large fish took the bait it won’t fit through the small hole, what then? Or you have to make a pretty big hole like 10″+?

Not to be gross if you have to go in the middle of the ice do you … Ummm … piss into the hole you…[Read more]

Thanks guys. I have no idea having never experienced ice fishing.

I thought you use some sort of a handheld Bosch laser beam and carve a circle on the ice or sink a heated pipe into it so it melts as you lower it lol.

How would one cut a hole in three feet thick ice to fish? Are there special tools for that?

A big chance to go from working for yourself to working for someone.

Less pressure, paid vacations, actual work hours instead of 24/7! Good luck👍

So…have you determined the cause of the crack and out of level with the slab? Is it frost heave? Giant tree roots coming up, or differential settlement from poorly compacted subsoil?
