💬 OT what made you say FUCK YEA! today???

[importcrew]

I just bought the big daddy impact on the advice of the yellow bullet and it was frigging awesome.
I bought all new tires for my RV and it ripped those bitches off in a split second.
I was shocked how strong a cordless tool could be, I put those on with my big gun at the shop!!


Good luck with the new money pit, OOOOPS home!!

My brother bought one of the Milwaukee impact drivers where it connects to an app where you can adjust the torque and even save "profiles" if there are jobs that you constantly do and need certain torque settings for. We used it the most when working on my car stripping down the motor.

I won't ever use it regularly. It is going in the racecar trailer only in case of a flat tire.
I'm old (and stubborn) and still use the air powered every thing stuff at the shop.

[DEEZUZ]

Omg.fuck air.

 

[DEEZUZ]

My big Milwaukee takes anything lose.

 

[importcrew]

There was a time when I'd take air over battery. Now that the batteries are much better than the past, it's real handy using battery powered impacts and what not for bigger jobs.

This gun has removed a dozen ball joints. And even the top castle nut which is a 32mm, rusted solid, and with a broken cotter pin still present. That's enough for me. Then the guns goes on a screw clamp and presses f550 ball joints out. When those joints move 1/4 in it sounds like a handgun going off. Gun just takes it and walks it out.

My brother got the big guy too right before he quit towing. Was surprised it had the oomph to take truck wheels off.

Crank keys are slated to show up Saturday, not Monday.

Safelite seems to be back up today, getting the windshield rock chip repaired on the Ford today.

Good thing as this last cold snap started creeping the chip a bit.

Stocks are doing awesome the past few days. Netflix is up over 60/share from when I bought in.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Made a loaf of bread via the bread machine. Turned out fucking epic.

I love my Norco 4224 case. Makes it so easy any time I have to deal with the drives.

if I'm swapping drives I put the new drive in an empty bay, replace, and yank the old drive.

unfortunately I didnt want to spend the money for a front loader I could add one in.

This is a temporary NAS in a sense... temporary being a couple years lol. The plan is to eventually upgrade the dell server with 2.5" SSDs large enough for everything I need for the next say 5 years.

Then get a second server and clone the first, and run proxmox in a failover setup. So I could lose a whole server and nothing stops running.

This case will then become the rackmount gaming unit.

its just a Rosewill 4u model RSV-R4100

I want to get away from mechanical drives except for offline backup, which will be a mix of spinning disk and SSD.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

No way I could afford SSD to replace my near 90TB of data. Considering future growth with 1080p and 4k files, I'm going to be on skinny until they come up with holographic storage.

yeah I am only around 6-7 TB with NAS, PLEX and NVR storage for a week and it doesnt grow that quickly currently. That is doable with SSD for reasonable prices, especially in the next couple years.

I'm getting my patio done. A lot of small hoops to jump through in order to get it going. One being the HOA.
Buy a big Fuck Yeah to them though. I submitted all my documents to the HOA this past Friday night. I got my approval letter yesterday, early afternoon.
I was expecting at least a week before I was sent over my approval.
Pingree Grove already has my permit ready and was just waiting for this letter. Hopefully I can get this scheduled to be done well before the end of the month.

Actually Tuesday, not today.

I have accepted a new job. It is a step back, but I'm ok with that. It's a small, growing company (something new to me...), and I report basically directly to the CFO. So there is room for growth (position and responsibility as the place grows) and a place to retire with.

Looks like I will be starting in the 27th.

 

[Rent Free]

Congrats! Good luck with new position!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Thanks. Still gotta take my tinkle test and finish the background check, but...

i suspect for salary/time you will be ahead. much congrats they hooked a good guy.

Yes. It's still FP&A, but the mindset of "if a store is open, you should be working..." is not the case here.

I was told the annual Christmas party the owner pays for the hotel for everyone, 4% to your 401k, medical and dental for me is paid in full by the company, bonus, etc...

Sounds like you will be happier! I'm glad you made it off the Titanic!

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Thanks... I am too. I feel a big weight off my shoulders.
