  1. The photo makes it look worse than it is but the same thing came to mind. I'll know better after I use it but remember, as a OWB carrier you don't want it too tight to the body at least not for the average weight guy. I do like the one I have for my other Shield better but it wasn't printed.
  2. Sounds like something that would benefit you to learn. Maybe when you retire.
  3. I needed a new magazine carrier and found one printed (in the U.S.) on e-bay. The mag fits perfect in it, not sure if the way the clip is made will bother me when worn but for $15.95 shipped it was worth a shot. There was also another that was made all in one piece for $3 less but tried this one. Would they be hard to design?
  4. I have a appointment for a check up next week and already planned to ask for a Cologuard test. I did one last year that just looks for blood they gave me but CG looks for more.
  5. The center console storage looks really useful and the pen holder idea looks like something you could market in different colors.
  6. When I tried to search Rincorn Continental all I got was Lincoln Continental which I would rather have than a cataract. 😉 Hopefully your deal will go as well as most people I have known that had it done.
  7. Actually you linked to an accessory kit. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B7H2ZBW
  8. I know a guy that has a garage but can't work on vehicles in it, silly ha? 😉
  9. Actually I was talking about the money on our side. With all the info coming out about USAID and the money being given to NGOs to be dispersed is where the corruption happens even before the other countries gets their hands on what is left. Why I originally posted in the PBS area about TB was because it had to do with open borders and immigration which pretty much can't be talked about without being political.
  10. I posted in the PBS area about this months ago before all the cuts. It is in my town (little Haiti) it is happening and I know of someone that has caught it. When you stuff 2K people in a 4K town within in a year from third world counties, what do you think is going to happen? Yes, TB is a thing again in the US thanks to political decisions. On another note, I never knew just how nasty and hard to treat it is until the person I know experienced it. They tried to use very powerful antibiotics and it almost killed her and had to stop them. Then tried a lower/longer dose over 9 months and still wasn't tolerated. Fortunately it is in a latent form so can't be spread but can reactivate at any time. As far as your OP, I think most Americans don't have too many problems with some help going to issues like this but only if all the money was going to actually help and not sucked dry before getting there. If you have been following what has lately came to light in how the money gets passed to different hands before getting to the needed place and not much being left, that has to stop. I tried not to be political about this but it hit close to home.
  11. Are you/someone going to video it? Plan on writing out some bullet points to follow?
  12. While having nothing to do with the OP, it is Oscar's thread and this is Ca info. https://www.streetmusclemag.com/news/california-smog-reform-classic-cars-get-a-new-lease-on-life/
  13. I noticed Weight Watchers commensals have shifted to talking about using WW with weight lose drugs.
  14. It's larger with two doors that open and all metal. Came out of a manufacturing plant and must be 50+ years old and is well made. The work bench is all wood.
  15. Very cool! Like said, the safety nazis will be all over this thing.
  16. All good points. I do have a old but well made metal floor cabinet that I cleared the top last year after doing a big rearrange. The top is too thin to do anything too abusive but the heavier metal could be added to that. I have a bench top drill press mounted to it, I guess welding wouldn't harm that?
  17. Both you and Carlos said you dislike working on a metal bench but didn't say why? I have also considered doing half the bench in metal and heavy wood on the other side so at least there would be a small place for abusive stuff.
  18. Everything. I don't have the luxury of the room for multiple work surfaces. Building nice wooden things doesn't happen in my garage, I beat stuff apart, weld, bend and assemble things.
  19. I would love a heavy metal top for mine. Not sure were to look for it though.
  20. I think the eyelet at the top makes it unique while also needing to be the correct length.
  21. Cool!
  22. Did you take it apart first?
  23. While I wasn't taking notes and could be wrong, I believe he was saying that it starts with the valve guide coming loose, hanging the valve and starting the issues. Just how common this is I don't know, didn't ask. Yes the early Cummins has a cult following around here also for not only reliability but simplicity. He put one in a Ford for a guy.
