    Welcome to the IHoP

    I drove around Colbert Hills (Its on the Masters Tour) here in Manhattan one day for work in an open top Gator, talk about the most nasty wind currents I've ever felt driving around. That course is WICKED.

    Oh states without much wind, if 20mph is something to remark at, that is pretty bad. You need to visit Kansas where 20mph is a normal breezy day.

    It looks like my home county says more bars than grocery stores, which is actually correct.

    You broke teh new sled already? If I was close I'd fix it for the chance to ride it. I love driving snowmobiles. The only way to fuck with snow in my opinion.

    Good lord. I swear no one in my lab group knows how to compile a report. My part was the only section that wasn't butchered by the teacher, looks like I'm going to have to write the next one.

  17. I was responding to the fact that it looks unprofessional. People tend to look for uniformity and eye appeal in something they are looking at buying. It doesn't matter if an ugly gizmo that does the job admirably, the pretty one that does an ok job will sell better 99% of the time. Remember this Pretty sells. Period Your job as someone who is looking to put a product out for purchase is to provide reason why they should buy it from you. Part of that is to have a professional appearance in your product which involves straight/square/even angles/whatever it is supposed to be. Now I may see your idea for marketing the product, see your shoddy work that you just posted and think to myself "Hmmm, I have a pile of scrap copper and I can do a hell of a lot nicer job than that for the same money, I can steal all his business." Now what is to stop me from doing that? For me it is the lack of time and I don't have a desire to steal your business or even cater to that crowd. Here are some hints. -Invest in a square, either an adjustable hand square or a speed square, doesn't matter which one -Invest in a hammer and center punch to mark your holes, it will reduce the drill bit walking around on you -Take time to lay it out and get it right the first time, that extra 5 minutes won't matter when it brings you more customers -If your going to sell it, make your display pieces nice, and then make jigs to build them better and faster -If you wouldn't show it off in your own install, don't friggin sell it. -Put a radius on your corners, makes it look nicer -Remove all sharp edges, wherever someone can cut their hand, they will
  18. No. It is the ability to give up electrons that makes metal more or less conductive.

    X pucking 2 I need to buy a saw so I can cut my own wood from now on since Home Depot didnt do all the cuts precise (I guess if you want it done right you do it yourself). Theres a reason them jackasses work at Home Depot, they can't fuckin' hang on a job site, same with all the stupid building inspectors out there...... Its not home depot's job to cut it right, it says right there on the saw it is not for precision cuts.

    no texans there, just the side of the family that never came to the states. My grandma came over to the states following WW2 i believe. Nobody else from her family has moved to the states. I wonder how many relatives i have over there... Did realize you were Japanese Whoa, Tmax is Japanese? Did not realize that.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Since no one cares to buy my SI Mag, I think I may just have to make a box for it in the house. I have zero desire to put it in a car now, another amp, PITA of installing it the way I want it, and don't care to have a sub woofer in there any more. Now what style do I want to build the box is the question.
