So there's been a gay marriage in Texas. I haven't heard anyone talk about it, but reading the comments in the news from the wonderful men who were elected to run this state in response to the wedding makes me so proud to be a Texan.
And of course by proud I mean ashamed.

Re: Testing Episode IV: A New Lament
Yeah... these guys aren't tradesman per se. They're licensed and bonded by the state, but they're "handymen" rather than a specific trade, i.e. they didn't go to trade school. So it's not like I'm hiring, say, an electrician to bring my house up to current code (or what have you). That, I ...

There's little things here and there that need fixing, most of the rooms needed to be repainted (because of tiny, nail ho...

Re: Spartan's I Can Make This Thread
So I haven't been posting much lately because I haven't been making as much as I might have in the past. I'm working on a book shelf, but it's not ready yet. I also brewed a rye oatmeal double brown ale tonight. It'll be a close to a month before it's ready though. I also have a dunkelweizen in the ...

I bet you already know this, but I'll say it anyways: 240V is nothing to screw around with unless you really, really know what you're doing.

I try to approach it as though I were still 10, in so far as that's possible for a man in his mid-thirties.
But the assholes make it harder and harder every year...

Re: Spartan's I Can Make This Thread
It is very top heavy, as drill presses tend to be, but if you look close you can see that I've bolted it to the wood which in turn is attached to the base with screws and extra wide washers through the front, sides and back. I deliberately shook it once I had it attached to the base and it always we...
