    Everybody knows large lump is better lump (except in healthcare), so extra large must be incredible!

    Big splurge on a new setup 


    I’ve got 2 Loomis crankbait rods for my speckled trout rods. Love them
    I have a couple of the IMX Pros. Looking forward to seeing how much more sensitive the NRX series is. 

    the bargain now is the mid 1990's original imx rods if you can find an unused one. the heavier wt flyrods were so much easier to cast.

    i tend to just buy clown rods in orange or purple or whatever now. fish with a guy with all the new loomis and shimanos, top of the line everything. hoping to kick his arse with a cheap pflueger and a purple grape spinning rod next week on vacation fishing for small mouths

    @Canugghead forgot I even had these. Was rambling through a tool drawer looking for something else and there they were. All metal handles with no grip.

    New hedge trimmer as the now deceased one croaked about 20 minutes into yesterday's yard project.  
    Same thing happened to me a couple of weekends back. Also need to buy a new extension cord.

    My DH thought I was developing dementia and didn’t realize the lump hoard was intentional based on sales.

    Time for an upgrade


    Nice saw. I was looking at those but SWMBO informed that if I was getting a new table saw, it had to be a SawStop for the safety factor. Who was I to argue? Ended up with a 3 HP PCS with the 52” fence.

    Yesterday I bought two bags only, why?
    1) I still have 11 assorted bags of ML+Basques+RO, and I don't cook with Egg all the time.
    2) I kicked the tire with couple of lumps from a torn bag, TBH I wasn't too impressed with the heavier weight compared to ML and Basques. 

    My advice to you, save the receipt and try a bag sooner than later, return the rest to HD if it's super subpar.

    That’s a grea saw you have!
    I was considering the sawstop but a few reasons I decided on this:

       No inventory right now
       Wasn’t sure I wanted to go 220 v
       No wheels (have to buy aftermarket)
       Overhead dust collection was an add on
       No digital meter built in and, yes I know thy are cheap but try and find it when you need it
       We have our own milled lumber and the sliding fence is nice on the fusion
       Finally, more than double the price, I can buy another very cool item with the savings

    Having said all that I would have possibly bought the sawstop if they could have it in less than a month, I need to put my saw away when not in use so I would have stayed with the smaller footprint.

    May I suggest you plan for the other compressors in the 12-15 year range to be replaced?

    In the works. These are specific compressors for the package unit that is the reefer. We’ve actually change out the entire back sections (entire package unit) because sometimes they’re cheaper than the compressor. 

    Timed out SeaLand trailers with Carrier units on the back ends of them. They’re 480v that we step down with a transformer. Can fit 16 pallets of product in each one. Way cheaper than a freezer that could hold 125+ pallets of product

    reproductive harm? as in you're not likely to get a willing partner if you start wearing something like this?

    His partner bought it for him to keep the others away!  

    In seriousness, if it’s real hot I wear a scarf like towel thing soaked in cold water, it works really well, but we have almost zero humidity here.  I suspect that works similar but doesn’t need evaporation and will probably work well.

    I didn't see the word "neck" on the box right away.  Really had me wondering for a few minutes.

    the street was built pretty much at the same time by a developer. One fall I literally watched each house in succession put an old HW tank at the end of the road as they failed. It kept getting closer and closer to my house so I called in a plumber to do a replacement. My next door neighbour did not. His failed.
