Welcome to the IHoP v.2

trying the Dryell dryer system. Hope it works at least a little bit.

Seriously on the 880.<br /><br />Unset was better than auto. For t/a that REALLY shouldn't be the case as even a shitty mic should be fine for that.

Dry cleaning DOES NOT remove odors. Their whole marketing is bullshit. I wouldn't subject my clothes to that. All you will do is set your stains and ruin your wools.

[///M5 2,833]

If you wash dry clean only clothes once they are destroyed. DON'T.

[///M5 2,833]

I realize that those don't use water so the ruining won't happen, but if there are stains they willbe set in.

Had my stereo all planned out in my head for a year.....start working on it this week and my damn midbass aren't going to fit in my door like I'd hoped. Window regulator motor is completely in the way. Fuck.

 

Do you really need to be able to roll down your windows?

Gotta be able to holla at bitches, yo

 

Tell me you watch Breaking Bad.

FUCK!

... good thing I know a guy.....

it's not really a stain. Just some dirt and dog drool that wouldn't blot out.

[ricksi30 923]

Agreed about the hu Jon, mine sounded better flat than with the auto eq/ta. Just take some measurements and play with it when you have time.

just put tomato on my router. i'm geeking out a bit with these graphs.

Glad you are blotting and not rubbing. Dirt and dog drool are water soluble so dry cleaning won't help

What do you like about the new unit Seth? Getting better speeds etc?

Are you using the antennas or just skipping that?

 

It is much faster, the range is fucking retarded, I love the USB as secured FTP server, dual frequency lets us have every device in the house running at the same time without IP conflicts, and the guest network option is awesome for when friends/family are over... It is also amazing not to have to reset the router 2-3 times a day.

He upgraded from Dial up.

 

 

I'm not that old.

Dude I thought you were a year younger than me. I had a 300 baud modem at one point.

Nope. I am quite sure I am 15-20 years older.

[///M5 2,833]

Not sure why I thought that. 20 would make you rather young since I am not 40 yet...

[sandt38 448]

OK, so I just got myself an opportunity for long range, high yield woodchuck/groundhog hunting. My shop manager is a hunter, and he has taken to a .17 HMR that he built the shit out of.. But we discussed hard core varminters and he is interested in a .223 WSSM build. So now I have a varminting buddy again. Unfortunately I sold my varminter several years back. I have decided I will chamber in 22-250 again, and I am going to handload.

 

First to the loads; I will be loading 55-65 grain ballistic tips, but I want to keep my options open to include 70 grain, and possibly 80 grain for really long range coyote shoots. With this thought in mind, ideally I want a 9-10 twist, but I have the option of loading 22-250 improved, which will yeild me a bit more speed, and might stretch me out to 11 or even a 12 twist, but this is not ideal with heavier loads.

 

With that in mind, this is my goal; I want to buy affordable (not opposed to used in good condition), I am looking for something that will shoot very well out of the box, and I would like to have the option for nice upgradeability in the future if I do really wind up doing a lot of varminting.

 

I have narrowed it down to these options. The Savage Model 12 is at the very top of my list, followed closely by the Remington 700, the Tikka T3 light, and the Browning X-bolt.

 

The Savage model 12 receives excellent reviews for out of the box performance. The big deal with it is, they are so easy to customize and build. It comes with the accu-trigger, which is the nicest stock offering, and may not even need an upgrade in the future. Also, the barrels are simple to change, and there is a local barrel builder with tons of custom offerings for the Savage actions. I can get into a Model 12 for ~$500 used, spend $300 on a nice bull barrel and really be done with it.

 

On to the others... The Model 700 is a fantastic action. The barrels require a press to change, and frankly that makes it less appealing to me. I am basically stuck with the stock barrel, unless I want to buy a barrel and have it installed by a smith, making the swap almost twice as expensive as a simple barrel swap on the Savage. The trigger group will have to be swapped out in the future, without a doubt. The Tikka T3 is a damn fine gun. I have a T3 Hunter in .270 WSM. The action is very smooth and well controlled and the shortest out of the selected group, the gun is exceptionally accurate right out of the box, I can swap barrels easily (which I will have to do as the Lite needs a better barrel as all Tikka 22-250s are 14 twists). The Browning... I love the feel of the A and X bolts. I always have. But I have never had the pleasure of shooting one, personally. This is more of a "I have always wanted" rather then an "I really researched it and" kind of a deal.

 

Anyone with any input on any of these choices, or any other options? My goal is to initially spend less that $600, new or used. Glass is handled already.

So I'm trying to catch up in the H0P but Sean have you ever looked into DDWRT for your router?

The router started giving me a lot of grief today so I went ahead and tried it out. One thing I noticed when I booted it up is it said my TX Power was 17 when default is normally 71. I tuned it up and noticed better gains with a wifi analyzer app on my phone.

Figured its worth a shot. It's stupid simple to do.

Why did you switch to DD? Was there a problem or were you just wanting to boost things?

Try tomato, DD is kind of pro networking level. Sometimes you can tweek it to suck. I'm sure your smart enough to learn it but is it worth the time? Probably not.

The only reason I have ever used DDWRT over Tomato is that I always found better instructions and felt more comfortable that the firmware I was installing was correct.

All I have ever done though is setup up your basic WPA2 boost the TX Power a bit and use it to monitor data usage

[MKader17 332]

Oh, I also was having troubles with the router. Just randomly started loosing wifi but not LAN. About 6 restarts in one day and I was done.

[sandt38 448]

Not sure why I thought that. 20 would make you rather young since I am not 40 yet...

 

I said I am 15 to 20 older... and I am if you aren't yet 40.

Oh yeah, It is standing up and the antennae are on.

OoooOoo

What kind of graphs???

[///M5 2,833]

Told you not to buy that POS. Same problems I have with mine. It is WAY more stable now that I have it at the top of the house, but it still is inconsistent. Seems that if there is anything that makes the signal tough the router flips out. In my case I have a chair that obviously blocks wifi. Would be my comfy chair which in particular I NEED right now.

Ha, ok then. Not sure why I thought you were 38. Reading on pain killers > me.

You had to own some uber slow dial up then.

Y'all some old puckers.

Our router is still Wireless G and it's in the attic of the house and still distributes wireless to our garage which is about 80ft away.

 

Only the attic was the place to get signal on the property.

 

However, i know someone who has a Wireless N router in their apartment in their bedroom that cannot even get signal in the living room which is literally connected to a hallway, straight shot about 20ft long.

 

ISP techs have been out there numerous times and changed the router, total 2 different brands now, and no signal in the living room..  it's weird as hell.
