    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Commission fees aside, my beef with these places is the extremely restrictive pickup times. 10-12:30 on Wednesday is the only time (unless you want shipping).

    TV shows currently watching

    Just finished Shameless S1 on Netflix. Some good, some bad…but it pulls me in. I hope I don’t get sucked in for so many seasons same as IASIP

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Love it when MP Sr gets bored. A few finishing touches and it’s done. First comment from my wife ‘so fall? We transporting pigs to the slaughter or what?’ I need a new phone case. These photos suck.

    Replaced the spark plug…same issue. Running out of cheap fixes.

    Ya I'd just rather assume the battery is dead and price according to that with a new purchase of a battery. EDIT: I guess there are also adapters for using my 18V RIDGID tools with the RYOBI line...but not sure that's the best route. In all honesty, I'd love a riding mower for the cottage as...

    Thanks @Mad Mike. New carb installed - ran slightly better than before and didn’t die as fast. Still slow / low power. New air filter installed - same time as new carb Fuel - will check out the drain method and see if anything comes out On another note…how could one verify if a used...

    How would one diagnose a very low power mower? I’m out of ideas.

    Fairly productive day…. Mowed the cottage as grass was up to the knees Installed the new fan + light combo (how TF do electricians deal with these eenie weenie nuts and bolts) And measured 110ft from cottage to post in the pouring rain. Got some conduit And a big up to the GTAMer that hooked...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Did it 1x in the time I had the bike. Then I sold it before it got warm.

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Is it really THAT bad of a bike? My cousin had one and rode it a few times. I should ask him, but I don't recall him having many positive things to say about it.

    The pool has been a resounding success… Not 100% level. But the water is clear, and very warm from the solar cover. Kids love it. Biggest issue is I don’t have time to sit in there with them.

    Turns out I bent the bottom assembly when I snagged on the hydrant. Straightened it out, and it works...but still struggles. Was gonna go to the cottage tonight and take care of a bunch of stuff up there, but I'll go tomorrow. - mow the lawn - install a fan - pick up some 4" conduit I found...

    WTB - electrical conduit

    Anyone got some left over? Need approx 120ft (TBC) of 4” bell end PVC conduit. Possibly 3/4” to 1” also as I’ve got some plans for a deck / gazebo in the plans.

    A little beyond my budget sadly. I think the Toro is dead…will muck around with it but it’s done good work for many years.
