    Happy St. Patty’s Day

  2. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 9:14 am

    And, good morning, cool kids.

  3. Comment by Jimbro on March 17, 2013 9:21 am

    Now we’re talking! Morning Cyn et al!

  4. Comment by Car in on March 17, 2013 9:23 am

    MJ said he shart his pants in the last thread.

    I may be misremembering that.

  5. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 9:24 am

    Good job MJ!

  6. Comment by Pupster on March 17, 2013 9:25 am

    Congrats MJ. 5K seems like a lot.

    Bar story: So Mrs. Pupster has taken an interest in occasionally going to a bar with me and having a drink, it’s kind of like date night. My goto drink lately has been vodka soda in a tall glass, I try to make the time last without getting hammered. Last night we were both enjoying just poured tall ones when the new bartender came in, current guy told her we were drinking vodka sodas and then left. She saw our tall glasses and assumed they were ice waters, so she makes us two short vodka sodas. 2 for 1 special.

    $20

    I had two green beers after the race. At 8am.

  8. Comment by Car in on March 17, 2013 9:28 am

    Did Mrs MJ say you could?

  9. Comment by MJ on March 17, 2013 9:28 am

    Haha. Shut up.

  10. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 9:29 am

    Congrats on not dying, MJ.

  11. Comment by Car in on March 17, 2013 9:31 am

    I promise to shut up between the hours of 11 and 8-ish. When I’m bringing people food.

  12. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 9:33 am

    Bzzzzzt! Pupster, that’s not how that “$20″ thing works.

  13. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 9:35 am

    Carin, I’d like two eggs, over-easy; wheat toast; bacon, not crisp; corned beef hash; hashbrowns, crisp.

    Oh, and a big glass of whole milk.

    Thanks Cyn. So far I’ve not died everyday. Ill let you know when that changes.

    You guys think that when Rosetta emailed me this he meant permanent or washable? http://is.gd/TrM0RK

  17. Comment by Car in on March 17, 2013 9:44 am

    I don’t serve breakfast, Jewstin.

    Matter of fact, on Sundays it’s dinner all day long.

    suck it.

  18. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 9:45 am

    Permanent. I think ‘draw’ is code for ‘tattoo.’

  19. Comment by Car in on March 17, 2013 9:47 am

    You know, you guys are all congratulating MJ for his sub 24 min 5k, when he admitted he neither threw up, nor shartted his pants.

    Obviously he didn’t give it his all.

    I can’t believe you’re supporting his half-assed attempt.

  20. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 9:50 am

    I kinda felt bad for his presumably sore nipples and chaffed thighs.

  21. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 9:51 am

    I hope you sent them to bed without supper after that. How did that shit even make it to DVD?! I’m still laughing at how bad that was.

  27. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 10:07 am

    Tell me again how many kids you have that you know of, Jim?

  28. Comment by Jimbro on March 17, 2013 10:10 am

    2 kids, my fiancee’s. 9 and 14. They are totally different: the older is into videogames and puts in more effort to evade work than actually working and the younger guy is polite, responsible and loves being outdoors.

  29. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 10:13 am

    9 is a great age; 14 not so much.

  30. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 10:16 am

    Actually, mine are both pretty good at 12 and almost 15. The weekly beatings shall continue.

  31. Comment by Cyn on March 17, 2013 10:20 am

    Ya know, if you two have a date set, we Hostages are pretty good at helping with the wedding plans.

  32. Comment by Jimbro on March 17, 2013 10:31 am

    We go back and forth on living in sin vs tying the knot. We’ve both been down the marriage path before….

  33. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 10:35 am

    How long have you been living in sin?

  34. Comment by scott on March 17, 2013 10:35 am

    We have to pressure cook something today.

    Speaking of achieving domestic bliss, I need to help herself with the dirty kitchen and putting on the corned beef slab.

    Good job MJ btw. Impressive time.

    4 years Jewstin

  37. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 10:41 am

    4 years? Skip the wedding. Go to the honeymoon. Spend your marriage pennies on a trip to the Bahamas.

  38. Comment by lauraw on March 17, 2013 10:53 am

    Well, they can still get married, just skip the wedding. Second weddings can seem a little tacky, since you already have everything and don’t really need a crowd of folks giving you pfaltzgraff and money to get you started in life.

    A small ceremony with a JP and take your immediate family out to a nice dinner, done. Most people will be pleased with you. But if any friends or extended family bitch about being left out, have them over your place for a BBQ this Summer.

    The important thing is, you’re married, your family feels special, and everybody else is off your tits.

  39. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 11:00 am

    MJ, you should really rethink your modes of transportation. My car does 5km in about 3 minutes.

  40. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 11:22 am

    Jimbro, I don’t want to comment on your specific situation, but the marriage related laws in US are stacked against men. I don’t see why men would ever have any motivation to get married.

  41. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 11:24 am

    As a corollary, women have absolutely no incentive to stick with a man once they are married and have a legal claim to his money.

  42. Comment by mundane68 on March 17, 2013 11:24 am

    Morning all you cool people, and you too, Tushar

  46. Comment by Jimbro on March 17, 2013 11:42 am

    She’s got the rock. It’s the nuptials that are lacking. A pre-nup is in the plans.

    I agree with laura. JP/minister should be okay with close family and a big outdoor party (lobster bake?) for everyone later.

  47. Comment by Vmaximus on March 17, 2013 11:47 am

    He is making good money off it Scott for not doing much.
    He will have another million when he releases his arrest video. All charges were dropped when the judge saw it.

    Sean, thanks for introducing me to weaphone.
    Now, whenever I actually manage to get my hands on real stuff, I would have atleast some knowledge instead of beibg a complete idiot. I think I understand the basics of 1911, AR15 and AK47 now.

  51. Comment by Sean M. on March 17, 2013 12:07 pm

    It’s fun, isn’t it, Tushar? Plus, if you’re a felon…perfectly legal to possess that.

  52. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 12:18 pm

    For copyright/whatever reason, they have renamed all the guns. I could identify the 1911, AR and AK. I think the one with a 200 round magazine is a M249 SAW. But I am not sure.

    I would have been happy with a smaller wedding in order to save the money but the husband really wanted his whole family/close friends there.

    Heh. Your Mom is better at the inter-service rivalry than you are.

  63. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 1:12 pm

    In India, it is customary for parents to spend money on weddings, rather than the young couple. Makes sense, because I was barely working for a year, and my wife was fresh out of college and had not started a job.
    I made an offer to my father and FiL: instead of throwing a lavish wedding, give some of that cash to us so we can start our new life in a strange new city, keep some for themselves, and if they feel like it, donate some to charity. But no. Children’s marriages are vanity projects for them.

    So, the bride and I got to live in Bombay for a few months barely stretching my paycheck to cover the bills. I think we saw one movie, and used to eat street food instead of going to nice restaurants.

    I came to US with barely $200 in my pocket.

    My wedding was under 2k and we only had around 250 people there. By mexican standards, small and cheap. My grammo, mom, and tias were cooking for 3 days for the reception.

    Urgh, springtime in NM. Wind gusting to 40, and when it hits the cedar trees, clouds of pollen fly into the air.

  69. Comment by beasn on March 17, 2013 1:53 pm

    Tush, my husband had only been working a year himself and I was fresh out of college. We had our wedding on a shoestring budget – about $1200 including the dress (sale rack – Penneys) and rings. Not much really, but quite a lot when you are just starting out, as you well know. Not to mention the headache of having to plan the thing while student teaching, watching a baby brother the rest of the time, and having to deal with a combative mother who didn’t want anything to do with it other than showing up and being fed.

    Much to my surprise and relief, his parents gave us some cash as a gift which replaced what we spent.

    If we could do it again, I’d have done a dozen folks at the church, and a bring a dish kind of luncheon.

  70. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 1:56 pm

    We got married by a judge with 2 friends there as witnesses. Then went to lunch at a restaurant. Nice and clean and low drama.

  71. Comment by daveintexas on March 17, 2013 2:01 pm

    We had nothin either, but a bunch of ladies from my church who watched me grow up did all sorts of things. Decorations, the food. At one point during the reception we were running out of clean plates and there was this one sweet mom I had known since I was a kid taking them from people’s hands to go wash em and put em back on the table.

  72. Comment by beasn on March 17, 2013 2:12 pm

    I am pretty sure that the only I was allowed to attend my wedding is that there was something in there about a groom being necessary for the party.

  74. Comment by daveintexas on March 17, 2013 2:18 pm

    They started out thinkin she wasn’t good enough for me, of course. After a year or so they knew I wasn’t good enough for her.

    I have been doing well cutting my own steaks and chops, and now I’m looking into getting the best deals on meat, and even larger pieces of critter to butcher.
    I love the internet. There are meat cutter message boards, and even butchery classes for little kids out there. I have never heard of this stuff before.
    A whole short loin is a real good deal, and encompasses both strip steaks (my favorite cut) and the tenderloin (Scott’s favorite cut). Then there are plenty of meaty bones to split between the dawg and a great beef stock.

    Laura, the shoulder is usually a cheap piece of beef and you can cut some great steaks.

  97. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 4:31 pm

    Chuck or clod. Butchers usually make it into stew meat because there are a lot of bones and connective tissue, but it makes great steaks it you carve it yourself.

    I used to not like it but now I do like lamb. Sometimes you can get a real gamey piece of lamb, that’s probably what turned me off the first time. The New Zealand lamb you can get today is almost never funky.

    Whatever cut of beef CaRiN fed the hoard with at Lapeerpalooser was sweet. I belive Leon and Jay did the carving.

    I don’t have a big freezer but I’m going to get one.

  118. Comment by scott on March 17, 2013 5:52 pm

    We bought a freezer at Sams, and filled it with stuff from Sams.

    They pay for themselves pretty quickly.

  119. Comment by MCPO Airdale on March 17, 2013 5:55 pm

    Scott – Yeah, we’ve had a chest freezer in the garage since ’92. Good investment.

  120. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 6:02 pm

    Pepe, just a question out of curiosity: what kind of equipment and raw material is need for making knives? And what kind of powered machinery are you thinking of (I presume you are building a workshop for knife making. I could be wrong.)

  121. Comment by Jay in Ames on March 17, 2013 6:07 pm

    That’s a cryovac pack loin, pupster. Available at Sams or Costco, very reasonable.

  122. Comment by scott on March 17, 2013 6:19 pm

    If you get a freezer Pupster, check out local grass fed beef.

  123. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 6:26 pm

    Pork is usually a pretty good deal from a butcher also.

  124. Comment by daveintexas on March 17, 2013 6:32 pm

    OH MY GOD it’s so goddamn good

  125. Comment by mundane68 on March 17, 2013 6:34 pm

    The cut is not the only thing that makes a steak taste good. You have to age the meat as well, and that takes space in a fridge that most of us do not have. But you really do get a superior steak when you age it, and the doggies love the trimmings. Dry aged meat tastes better to me, while wet aging is easier.

    Not a bad guide here, only I would not do it in the kitchen fridge because opening and closing all day changes the temp inside too much.

    Tushar, my shop is basically like a small machine shop, with the addition of several belt grinders (big sanders). I have a milling machine, small lathe, 3 drill presses, a sandblasting cabinet, 2 surface grinders, a bandsaw and 4 belt sanders.

    I cut out a blade out of a steel bar, drill holes in it, grind it to shape, heat treat it (harden and then temper), grind the bevels and then usually hand finish it.

    I’m working on something like this right now.

    You are living the life I dream of. I understand that you face the rough side that I am oblivious to, but I would rather face your problems than what I do whole day. At least you have the choice of sleeping in extra 15 minutes past 5.30 am if you want.

  140. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 7:43 pm

    Theoretically I could mill out an AR lower. Practically, I’d try and track down a CNC program to make one and talk a friend of mine with a HAAS CNC mill to make one (or several!!)

    I don’t think they need to be heat treated, they’re just aluminum, and a low stress part. The bolt locking into the barrel extension takes all the pressure.

    I have a small dental grinder and a Foredom tool.

    Yeah Tushar, it has its drawbacks, but my schedule is pretty flexible. Ranch stuff can rock along for a month with no issues, then all of a sudden everything goes to hell. Biggest benefit for me is I don’t really have to deal with people much. I might go to town once a month.

    Pepe,
    If you want to do this on a larger scale, will a hydraulic press that can cut blanks increase your output? Have some dies made for 5 or 6 standard blade designs. And some jigs that can do the rough grinding. That will free up time to do finish grinding and other finishing work.

  167. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 8:26 pm

    Tushar, die blanking is old school. Used if you’re making thousands of cheap knives. Now you’d use a CNC water jet to cut parts with loose tolerances. A good water jet can hold .003″ tolerances at best. For precise parts, something like wire EDM can hold .0005″ tolerance pretty easily.

    On folders, I try to hold tolerances to .0005″, a piece of paper is .004″. Count the zeros, 1/8 the thickness of a piece of paper.

    After I get my shop done, I’m going to make a batch of knives using various CNC processes. I’ll let you know how it comes out.

  169. Comment by Tushar on March 17, 2013 8:34 pm

    Pepe, I am trying to recall stuff I larned in Engineering 20 years back, and that too from an undeveloped country’s perspective.
    Our college had one CNC lathe, and we were only allowed to look at it in awe from afar.

    Now I am looking at prices of CNC machinery and by jove,they are within reach.

  170. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 8:37 pm

    VMax, CNC is definitely the future of small manufacturing. 25 years ago I saw a miniature lathe that was CNC. It could be programmed to make different parts, but was very limited. Cost was $25,000 and people were going crazy over it.

    Last year, a friend of mine bought a HAAS machining center with tool changer, tapping capability and tons of features for around $35,000. It’s capabilities are amazing, only limited by software, really. He’s getting a new 3D machining program that will really allow him to do neat stuff. It has almost paid for itself already.

    The technology is becoming more affordable, and production is going way up.

    Right now, he’s looking at a 3D printer for prototyping. I came up with an idea for a knife mechanism today. If he has time, he can get the milling machine programmed to make the basic protoype this week. It’s something that is easy to make with CNC, but very difficult without. If he had a 3D printer, he’d have a prototype printing right now.

  171. Comment by Jewstin on March 17, 2013 8:39 pm

  173. Comment by pepelp2 on March 17, 2013 8:50 pm

    Most people are going to water jet to cut parts. Laser leaves slag on the edge and can screw up the steel on the edge due to the heat. Waterjet cuts cool.

    I’d be looking at a CNC machining center if my friend didn’t have one.

    XBrad, hobo meat is dry, chewy and stringy. The trick is to use a lemon juice based marinade. The acid breaks down the tough tissue. A meat tenderizer is important too. The use of meat tenderizer should ideally start while the hobo is still alive. It is useless once rigor mortis sets in.

    Also, hobos have a very gamey taste. Generous use of bolld spices should mask it.

    The biggest problem with most manufacturing in the US is not labor costs. I remember Jobs saying that building the iPhone in the US would cost less because they would less shrinkage due to theft and poorly assembled products.

    The biggest problem is infrastructure and regulations. Apple wanted to make the iPhone in the Sacramento area (there are a huge number of old manufacturing centers around the city), but got told by the Coastal Commission that the factory would be third in line for water behind the fish and the farmers. The regulations covering shift work in California are also Byzantine and draconian and several lawyers said something to the effect of “it is a matter of when you violate them and how badly, than if you violate them”. Finally, finished products could only be moved by Teamsters even between plant and distribution centers, and the Longshoremen union had just finished a massive strike on the west coast.

    Jobs said, “Fuck that noise!” and decided to build them in China.

    LOL…”Today in Atlanta, paramedics were called when a strip club dancer named only as “Cyn” needed medical attention after having $65 in dollar coins dumped on her.

    She was quoted as saying, “I mean, how did someone get that many dollar coins? I saw them coming at me, and I had to scream. Next thing I know, I have a concussion and a ruptured spleen. That’s just messed up…”

    Latest example if how my life sucks:

    Pop my nightly med and capsule of cinnamon in my mouth, my normal regimen before I hit the sack, and open the fridge to get the tomato juice to wash them down.

    Drop the bottle of tomato juice, the top breaks, and the bottle explodes all over the kitchen. And runs under the fridge.

    Tomato juice doesn’t sop up well. Meaning I have to pull the fridge out to clean it up.

    Gee, it’s been a while since the area under the fridge has been cleaned (yuck).

    Of course, it helps that the water line disconnects when I pull the fridge out. Now there’s water spraying everywhere and the only way to shut that off is to shut off the main valve.

    So now I proceed to clean the floor and suddenly I start to feel my mouth get hot and dry.

    The cinnamon capsule has melted.

    Ouch.

    Grab a seltzer… Drink deep… And now I’m coughing up a lung.

    You probably do, Wiser. The second season wasn’t really great but the rest are quite good. Watching it from the start will give you a chance to see the original group of survivors – a key to appreciating some to the ups and downs for them you’ll see as the series progresses. Though it’s clearly as “zombie” series, its strength rests with the human connections the series allows to play out.

    I’ve got all of the Bond flicks (except for the recent ones) on videotape. Got 3 of the 4 box sets on DVD.

    Connery was the best.

    Moore sucked.

    Dalton was okay. Anything was better than Moore.

    Brosnan was great, even if the movies were dumb.

    Guy who was in the best Bond movie, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, was….. meh.

    Craig is good. Totally changing who Bond is, but in a good way.

    I like that they got away from the stupid Bond of Moore. Craig delivers.

    But he will never be the sophisticated Bond, like Connery and Brosnan.

    But that’s okay.

  344. Comment by clintbird on March 18, 2013 1:01 am

    I think Craig’s version of Bond is excellent. His last one probably brought him a bit closer to Connery but not to the point of being an imitation of Connery.

  345. Comment by osoloco11 on March 18, 2013 1:01 am

    I liked that Connery was suave and brutal. I never liked the cartoon quality of Moore. This is a serious argument in our house. Dan’s parents were rigid about movies. Moore was the first Bond he was exposed to. He hadn’t even read the books until he met me. Bordering on child abuse IMHO.

    Haven’t read Gardner’s.

    I think that, at this point, the books are like the video games.. leeching off the Bond name.

    To me, the movies are the focus, with the books and games being secondary media.

    Anyway, it’s late.

    Nite, y’all

    CB, I know it is considered a guy tearjerker. I have issues. LOL. Dennis Quaid’s abs in Breaking Away should have had their own IMDB listing.

    True Story: ESPN keeps showing the NCState/Phi Slamma Jama footage. I had been partying all weekend with out of town media types. Had tickets for the Final, but I was too tired to go. I hadn’t met Dan yet. His grandmother told the parish priest that her grandson loved basketball. He took Dan on his extra ticket. ( Priest wasn’t a molester, just a nice guy so we can’t cash in on the Catholic Lottery). Long story short: Dan witnessed basketball history and I was recovering from a wild weekend and watched on TV. $20

    I think that’s what they call make-up.

    That’s not a mole, that’s a fly.

    Just finished watching NCIS season 10 premiere. Time for sleeps.

    And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
    And I am derp, as derp I well may be
    You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
    And kneel and say an “Ave” there for me.
