"balancing" is a fancy way of saying "make sure theyre both wound the same number of turns."

I had a torsion spring break last year. So i ordered a new pair and it came with those rods you speak of. Wasnt too bad of a process either.

The youtube pro's claim "balancing" is so that the garage door doesn't close or open on it's own. In other words it should stay at any position/spot you stop at.

Sounds like broscience. Would think if you set them the right number of turns (based on spring size) you'd be fine. Im thinking they mean when not connected to the door opener. That it just stays in place.

In theory, this really should never matter.

Correct, when It's not connected to the opener, or the release chain is pulled, the door should stay in place where ever you leave it. It should not open on it's own (springs too tight) and it should not close on its own (springs too loose).

Shoulda been rona, Reno’s and anal reaming for the title. My phone tried to autocorrect to anal reeking, in trudeaus words “What a terrible image”.

Garth! Don’t Americans get today off? It’s Good Friday for lords sake.

I bought my first guns a few weeks ago. I posted a pic of my new Taurus on IG last night. My wife's side of the family was giving me some flak. It's bananas the reactions from Brits/Euros whenever they see a gun. They now have this irrational fear for my wife's safety. They see this thing as a murder death kill machine. Insane.

G2C 9MM? That's what I ended up with last month. Haven't fired it yet, just took it apart for the first time tonight...doesn't look clean, kinda wonder if it's been fired before. But then again, it's my first and don't know exactly what to look for.

Chit i didnt do this at all. lol

Not even sure what mine would do if i disconnected it. Didnt watch video but imagine it would be pretty simple. Just loosen set screws on spring, release/tighten a turn or two, tighten screw. See what happens.

Some of us do. Some of us do the lords work and keep projects going for the sake of national security.

Good Friday isn't a federal holiday. I worked from home anyway, hungover. Truth be told, I put more work in on my website than my actual job. That's what happens when you can't connect to VPN 90% of the time.

I haven't fired my G2C either. Took it apart and everything looked clean right out of the box. I need to find some training ammo. I have some hollow points that I picked up because it was the only thing they had but I'm not putting those through at the range.

Painting site?

[GarthVader]

Painting site?

correct.

It's a blog centric site so the first thing you'll see are blog posts about my paintings. Each post includes the inspiration, perhaps a story behind the painting, lessons learned, and tips. There's also a gallery where you can just scroll through the paintings. My Etsy shop is linked. That's where I sell my mini paintings and magnets and other miscellaneous stuff I happen to paint on. I just added a proper art shop to my site where you can buy my actual paintings.

Main site: https://happypaintingsbycraig.com/

Art store: https://happypaintingsbycraig.com/shop/

Gallery: https://happypaintingsbycraig.com/gallery/

So gimme them clicks!

Nice! And good tactic making it blog centric and having the sales elsewhere. I'd almost say youre hiding the "buy this" too much. Maybe have a small link at the end of the article? Like a "hey if you like this painting, you can get it here!"

You're right. I was doing it in my early blogs. Not sure why I stopped. All right. Next task....

In on......2nd page? Hard fail. Looks like engj can chalk this one off his bucket list now. Great thread title.

[gixxer0.6g]

Also, if you don’t go ass to mouth are you really even worth banging?

I think this post didn't get near enough attention. I think it should be st the top of every page in this thread.

Got it done. My door required a full turn on one spring and 3/4 turn on the other. New opener is "titties".

Back to your spin class snowflake

I just came back to read this thread and giggle on a conference call and everyone was quiet for 5 seconds.

Real or fake titties?

Saw our Trump Bux are pending deposit today but noticed we were short $500 for one kid. Went and looked at my tax return and somehow my daughter wasn't showing properly as a dependent. Have to mail in an amended return but that'll be an extra chunk of change back in several months. Nice.

[twovalvekid]

Im confused, what are these trump bux you peasants are talking about!?

1k for the dependent and then 500 for trump bux


Just an FYI, there’s talk of possible meat shortages in the next month or so
Supply chain disruptions + producer disruptions (employees getting covid) + regulation limitations(producers not being able to package and sell direct to consumer )
You may purchase some additional meat to freeze, as insurance

I've been cooking too much lately on purpose. Seems to be a solid plan now. Trying to keep freezer stocked with shredded chicken breast, pulled pork, etc.

Just read that article too. Most of the doom and gloom though came from the CEO of the pork packing plant that just closed due to employees testing Positive for Corona. They were/are 4-5% of the pork produced.
The article also spotlighted the different labeling requirements for retail sale and sales to restaurants as being another big obstacle to production. Packaging is completely different and the retail labeling requirements puts a large burden on switching over the food service lines to retail.

a congressman Thomas Massey is talking about it, trying to get ahead of it and is planning on running a bill to help counter

Well it's a good thing I can fish.

There are a couple hundred head of cattle down the street and plenty of venison that needs harvesting roaming the hills behind the house. Hopefully fish and game isn't essential.

So I've been feeling pretty crappy yesterday and today. No fever, but a little chest tightness, cough, headache, sore throat. A little worried cause I hear this thing is rough on us old folk.

I don't think its the COVID-19 though, I think its just the POLLEN-20.
