    Presidents day

    I typically work on President's Day. My second/part time job will get the day off, but I'll still be at the main gig 7-5

    By Ted's own admission, he expected to be dead or in jail by now.

    Custom/Hybrid What to do? Steve @ Trendsetterz....

    Christian is in Denmark. Trendsetterz is in the US. Legal action is 100% useless and I'm willing to bet that there isn't even a written contract in existence between the two. This is why Christian is getting more and more upset, because he has absolutely no recourse and feels the only thing...

    Hand guns

    It's pretty nice. $75/year for a family membership. Standard rifle/pistol range (5 - 100 yds for paper), steel gongs 200-400 yds, 5-25 yd .22 plinking range. Also a cowboy action range (also used for IDPA matches and stuff) and a separate shotgun range (costs extra for range time and clay). A...

    Hand guns

    ^^Depends on the range and the property they're on. The local one I frequent is privately owned, but operated on federal land. You don't bring your own targets. The standard rifle/pistol range has steel gongs at 200, 300, and 400 yards. Steel bullets are not allowed for fear of sparking...

    WDK - What to do next???

    You've asked this twice now and you've answered that question yourself. Jeff thinks he can do it because people that know better continue to pay him, letting him operate that way. TL,DR: WHY? Because you.

    Custom/Hybrid What to do? Steve @ Trendsetterz....

    It sucks, I know what it's like to be in that situation and not being in the same country as the builder just complicates it to another level. I'd say sit tight and wait, because what else are you going to do? You're not getting your money back. And an FYI for all future custom hull...

    WDK - What to do next???

    Hey that's a nice idea. For some reason, WdK cannot accept (at least AmEx) credit cards any longer. Care to guess why?

    WDK - What to do next???

    Because people keep coming and give them money despite those people knowing damn well what the builder's reputation is. Next step: Move on and stop expecting him to come through. Based on what I've seen with him in the past, two options: 1. Quit bugging him and hope he comes through. Wouldn't...

    Any mechanical engineers on here? Or engineers in general..

    The best advice I can give you is to make things work in your favor. Get into an engineering field that leverages your firefighting career into being invaluable field experience in a very specialized niche. As an example, go for EE with an emphasis in protection and NEMA/NFPA codes and bill...

    Any mechanical engineers on here? Or engineers in general..

    I wouldn't bank on it. Once you are over 25-30, it can be very tough to get a job in engineering with what's basically "recent graduate" status. Additionally, such a late career change poses financial challenges. You won't be 50 with 30 years experience, you'll be starting over with zero...

    Other Movie review thread

    Why would anyone willingly watch 47 Ronin? That had "poop of the year" written all over it. Horrible. Lone Ranger was boring. Wanted to like it and I did like Depp's performance. The movie sucked. I really wanted to like Captain Phillips. Solid acting by Hanks, but f'n boring and way too...

    Sticky bendix, can I save it?

    Whether you revive this one or get another one, do yourself a big favor and figure out why you had water in there. Use some grease or 1211 on the starter o-ring area. Use a new OEM flywheel cover gasket, lightly coat it in grease or 1211.

    HELP!

    There are two small wires coming off the starter relay (solenoid). On is orange, one is black. 1. Make sure black is grounded. 2. Energize the other, orange wire with 12 V. Easiest way is to touch it to the big red cable coming from the battery. This should activate the solenoid and turn...
