She still tracks a straight line.. and it hasn't affected my tire wear.. if it went faster i would fix it.. but there's no adjustment :-(

could you could bend or straighten the tie rod to fix it, but if it's not ripping grass in turns roll on

Not sure how well you can see them, but my outside water spigot was being gaurded by about 10 yellow jackets and probably a few thousand more in the nest below it. Sneaky bullshit level 6.5/10.
Hey now, I'm just trying to fill my birdbath here.

back a shop fan up to the spigot and turn it on high, problem solved and the shower of bee bodies will fertilize the grass.

It is straight.. some teenager ran it into a tree some years ago and it's been like that, even after straightening the tie rod.. it's not tearing up in turns, so it will roll.. I suppose I could cut the rod and make it grow..

A little hot in the attic today, fixing this mess

Do you have a thermostatic controlled ventilation fan? If not, Id add one in, cuts down on heat transfer from attic.

Come Winter, you'll be wishing you had finished enclosing it!

I'm going to frame up the top section. It's just a carport. I'm about to fence in the whole back yard for my dog

New sand filter and pump my grandfather gave us for the pool. Way oversized, but by golly its clean! (And yes, I figured out a way to actually hook it up, just wanted to test it.)

off road and in the creek (again) in the mini-van.

Ran across these two heading S. on I-81 VA., Sunday. Let's see if you can identify the make? Lordy, the cars we forget, & many of you never heard of!

Is that a DeSoto?

Nope. I'm not even positive of the Models, or years, though I got the Make, or makes correct. Their cousins, & not over 1952.

My brother, his wife, son and I were down there Saturday night.
Crazy to think I have seen that river crossing around 5 feet deep, enough to wash a 4x4 ranger down the river and have to be winched out.....

Caught my eye today. As as it may be, the new Miatas really are a good looking car, especially in black with those wheels.

Hell quick glance it looks like a bmw. I had to do a double take after reading your post

5 million pound press in both compression and tension at the Bureau of Reclamation in Denver, CO. When they did the initial test on it it took something like 4.8 million pounds of force to break. The legend holds with pretty reasonable certainty that when it broke the energy wave blew the windows out up near the ceiling. When they run test they will call the Geological Survey to tell them that if they pick up an anomaly at such and such a time that it was just a test. Pretty neat stuff!

What do they test on that?

In the last picture is a steel rod and welded plate that they tested in tension. They also test concrete cylinders in compression. The whole facility is really neat. They have about a third to half that is structural research and the rest is hydraulic modeling. They have a working models of rivers, dams, cavitation test chamber, concrete mixes, a fog room for curing concrete, etc. I could spend a month in there just watching and playing.
