yeah. Not too in to a water cooled snow trax unit. Prefer air cooled. Really punch out some sound in the cold weather. Then again, might not be a good idea too loud in avalanche countryQuote:

Also think I have found a way to cut impatient wait time to set up to two months from six months.
Thanks Mrs bo, great gift.[AR15][AR15][AR15][AR15][AR15][AR15][AR15]
Congratulations, but what is taking you six months to set-up?
Spot to set it up. I have space in the shop but not a very good environment. Three quarters of the space is dedicated to woodworking and one quarter to auto mech, metal and welding. Tough enough to keep welding and wood shavings/saw dust separate. New building which will be garage(gets auto mech, metal and welding out of shop), family pavilion and barn is supposed to start going up in the fall/winter. I was going to hold out until done and only set up press once.
In process of doing clean out and rearrange of shop, discovered that I will have space for a steel desk I intend to use as reloading bench, even before I move mech, metal, welding out to new building. If I get desperate I can easily build a kiosk type surround/cover for it. Use some pull down attic stairs hardware and make it easy to lift up out of way.
You know, if I like can't wait, you know.
I was just going to suggest a cover for the press. I've got a blanket over mine right now, but some day I'd like to sew up something more form fitting and durable. It's fine without a cover, until the second I actually use my garage for any type of cutting. Then either saw dust or hot metal is flying every where. I look forward to your kiosk cover idea.
You'd take a vaginaglyde? I'd go with something more suited for all around agility, like a honda crf450, or kaw klr seriesQuote:

Okay, close enough to done now. I'm done mudding. I was trying to fix some small detail stuff that you can see in person, but I think it's close enough now for paint. While I was at it I fixed some stuff from when I had my front door put in, poorly, and that makes me happy.

Now all three of the doorways in the living room match. Once I paint the hall and living room, then I can install the new flooring in bedroom, hall, living room, entry, and coat closet. Then my house will be about half way remodeled.

Do we really want Trevor Simean as QB? No. Case Keenum is an upgrade, too bad Paxton Lynch was a waste of a draft pick. That said unless we beef up the O-line it won't matter. Aquib Talib has worn out his welcome with his thuggish antics, good riddance. Roby will be just fine.Quote:

Siemian was horrible, Keenum is an upgrade IF he performs reasonably close to how he did in Minnesota last year.Quote:

Talibs antics were tiresome but his production on the field made up for it, hard to replace a talent like that. He brought swagger to our defense. I hope Roby can step up and play with that same swagger and aggressive style.

Congrats to Lobo on the reloading stuff, and to Irving for the nice work progress and outcome. That's cool, guys.
Thanks.
Yay for rain! Not even forecast, yet it's pouring out right now. My yard sure needs it.
You bet!
And it's rained a bit over this way tonight as well, and it is much more welcome than snow.
Side note: ... we all see regular signs of societal decline daily it seems. I would add, ironically, that when you see some consistency in a drastic decline of gravy in your FAVORITE frozen box of shit........then the END of the world most certainly will be coming soon.

I got the weed/feed down on about half the lawn yesterday. Wish I had got the rest done today.
The rain has helped folks relax a little out here. Been kinda tense with fire danger last couple weeks.
Weed/Feed ? you get the lawn high, then enable it with food WTF ?????????Quote:

ETA to re-open is 6-8 hours and I'm going to run out of hours before the road opens.
These cold weather states need to require a winter driving endorsement for CDL drivers.
All the mountain states oughta require a winter driving endorsement AND a mountain driving endorsement on CDL's. That would keep these idiots that can't drive in the snow or mountains out of here.

When you get your CDL, do you have to take continuing education to maintain your certification?
No. Pretty much driving daily is considered your CE.Quote:

Most other companies also do this. I don't even watch the videos, it's all common sense and I get 100% on all of the tests every time.
A lot of it is severely outdated which is why the tests are easy to pass without watching the videos.
Questions like
Road surfaces are most slippery when?
a.) Right after it stops raining
b.) During a downpour
c.) When it first starts raining
d.) When it's hot and humid out
You should never use your jake brakes when?
a.) It's snowing
b.) It's raining
c.) when it's sunny and dry
d.) Both A and B
It's laughable.

Okay thanks. I have zero plans to do any work, just thought it might be something fun to achieve in future down times. How many months does it usually take?
Sounds like a typical day in my life.Quote:

Like foxtrot said, if you know someone who has a semi, you can read the Colorado CDL Manual (the state's link is down for some reason) but I can email you a copy when I get home as I have it on my home computer, and take the test but per the state you are required to take the test through an approved school. I'm pretty sure they charge a fee for the testing portion.

Just a fair warning...If you get a CDL..do not get any tickets. Colorado does not like to give out zero points and change the ticket to a lesser violation. They usually reduce the ticket by half the points and will allow the charge to be reduced, but getting it to zero points is next to impossible.
I found this out the hard way and it cost me a $92,000 a year job. [emoji52]
I had one point too many on my license in 7 years (5 points total) and they wouldn't hire me. Even worse that 1 extra point was for a measly headlight bulb going out on my way back from Texas in my personal car. Out in the middle of Baca County at night both headlights working and it goes out and busted by a trooper (are you kidding me?). I just paid it as it wasnt a moving violation and fixed the bulb and the company didn't care. A point was a point. They only allow 4 points in 7 years to get hired.
Also another fun fact...from the minute you get your CDL, any tickets you've had since you first got a standard drivers license in Colorado...will show up on your driving record from that date (not the date you got your CDL) and any prospective employer can see every ticket you have ever been convicted of since you started legally driving in Colorado, even if it is a non-moving violation or a moving violation. (Not sure why Colorado puts non-moving violations on driving records. All 5 of my points are non-moving violations and it cost me a damn good job. [emoji849])
If you get a CDL I highly recommend using a driver's legal service to protect your CDL.
http://www.driverslegalplan.com
is the service that I use. You dont have to have a CDL to use it. You can have a standard drivers license but you have to call them to pay the subscription.
$150 a year for CDL holders.
$75 a year for standard drivers license.
$100 for each ticket for minor tickets (speeding, moving violations)
$250 for DUI/Vehicular Manslaughter and the more serious driving charges, plus whatever the court cost/fine is.
It's definitely worth it.
Just to hire an attorney for a reckless driving ticket is about $950+ (friend of mine got a reckless in a CMV and her lawyer charged her $950 fee to represent her plus more if they had to go to trial).

Thanks for the break down, I was just curious what it entails. I'd probably lose the designation from tickets on the first two years anyway, but again, I have zero interest in driving trucks beyond furthering my personal knowledge of how to do so. Next time I have down time, I'll probably figure out a better way to is it than for a skill I'll likely never use. Probably welding.
Buffalobo, don't let Jim's razing about buying a different press get to you. Dillon stuff holds value and you can resell and upgrade when you're ready!
