The Official Status Update Thread: Part 93- Global Warming on my Driveway

Bring it on....I don't have anything in the lake so I wont worry.

Grab a Cat and use it as a helmet in severe weather!!!

The threads are very large and the amount of torque applied is not large [it uses an o-ring to seal, not the threads] so I'm just not sure if it's a concern or not.

I'll likely put some anti-seize on it just to be safe. Just have to be careful not to let any get on the o-ring.

Doesn't take much torque with Aluminum.
We have a couple instrument transmitters at work that the threads are seized up on.
Back when we had 12 guys on the crew, we'd pull the instrument out, replace the shell, reinstall the guts, and calibrate.
Now that our crew is only 5, we put the cover partially on, then use duct tape.
Which tends to make the instrument NOT waterproof.

And the instrument covers galled, just from spinning them on.
Aluminum to aluminum can be very touchy.

Doesn't look like we will get much of the storm Local news isn't even running warnings.

Yeah, I was watching the radar, Indy is about to get slammed.

Looks like its gonna fly through quick though.

It is moving fast, and isn't very thick.

As I found out at work several years ago. Especially 10-32 stove bolts we used on sailboat rigging.

Fake meat burger with 'healthy' mac and cheese...at least people are noticing that I'm losing weight so it is actually paying off

If he was hitting on you then I could see it being awkward.

Last time I had Brussels sprouts they were cooked in bacon grease, they tasted like bacon and I was ok with that

I cooked mine in real butter. I guess they weren't healthy.
