    Any F1 racing fans?

    While I agree with you, I was hoping to see a much better showing from Sainz at Williams. Especially with how pre-season testing went. He has been there long enough, with enough time logged on the vehicle and in sims that I wouldn't have expected such a poor showing the first three races...

    A "Bun" on the Nogen!

    US Army updated its regs in 2021. https://www.army.mil/standto/archive/2021/01/27/ I routinely see female soldiers in ponytails, twin braids, or a single long Viking style braid. Some of my female soldiers now have hair down pass their ass when they aren't braided up and in civies after duty...

    areas to avoid in portland

    You sir have unlocked some core memories. Man, I haven't thought of the Acropolis in years. OP. Sounds like a vacation trip and not business since you are doing EUG, up the coast, and to PDX and St. Helens. Heading up the river thru the Gorge east of Portland is a hell of a nice drive...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Serious question for you experienced wood worker folks. I've been reading about "kickback" on table saws. Haven't experienced it yet. Is it safe to rip wood with the grain like this against the fence? I get the impression against the grain crosscut against the fence is a big no no, but what...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Got one of those 2'x4' floating frames done over the weekend. It is maple. The dark one is that burned pine that I sanded down and tried a stain/polyurethane coating on, but it is whipping my butt. I can't seem to get an even coat or it runs. I may just strip it and go to a stain then a clear...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    I don't know shit about wood, but I do know a thing or two about leather. What I have learned about wood so far is that I am not a fan of sanding and finishing. God, it sucks. Especially when I keep sanding back thru my coat because I put on the finish too thick and it runs and I have to redo...

    For sure. Pics or get out. Lol. Spending my Christmas day out in the garage trying out different finishes. Man, we could have an entire thread on finishes alone. So many and different types. Overwhelming. I'm just using up scrap and staining and coating with different stains and finishes to see...

    Warhammer 40k

    The same can be said for Battletech. Lots of fun with friends. I prefer the boomertech Intro periods. Had a few soldiers drag a bunch of warhammer 40k tabletop with them to Iraq. Gave them shit to do during downtime. Always loked interesting. The lore is pretty impressive. I read a few of the...

    Yep. Looking at the woodpeckers website. Sticker shock for sure, but I figure it's like buying glass. I'd end up spending more in the long term buying cheap optics, then mid tier optics, then high end scopes. Should have just spent the money on the high end glass from the get go. I really like...

    Maggie’s The Wood Shop

    Thank you all. Right now my shop set up isn't very much. I have a jobsite skil table saw (at least it can take a dado blade), and my old skil miter saw and an orbital sander. But it's a start. I have decided the first damn thing I'm buying are some high end combination squares, measuring tools...

    UGH..... Damn you all. Damn you all to hell. The Hide strikes again. I have started dabbling in woodworking and find I am getting sucked in. So of course I read this entire thread from page 1 and now I want to learn more. Which means the foreseeable gun fund will get spent on woodworking...

    How do you make Thanksgiving Stuffing?

    There is an additional step that we employ. We place bacon on top of the turkey as it cooks so the bacon drippings soak into the turkey. As the bacon gets crisped on top of the bird we remove and place more bacon. Take the crisped bacon and chop finely. (plan on 10-20% wastage as the cook...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    I can concur. A few feet of garden hose with a brass bib on the end will make you welt up fast. Getting my ass beat with a radiator fan belt off a D-8 CAT came a close second.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Good ol' Coos County. Been by there many a time on the way to Roseburg even though most of the time I hunted up around Powers or went over iron mountain and down into Agness.
