Colorado B.S. Thread

A friend is rebuilding 001 right now. Very cool progress on the truck and very trick suspension PPI did in the early 80's.

Thanks a lot Tim... that rabbit hole was fun but I'm thinking I'll be wishing I had tried to get back to sleep come 2pm today..... insomnia FTL

 

I hunted unit 5 about 3 years ago, we have been in unit 14 for the past couple years, second season for my group this year.

Fail

 

(that's not coffee)

 

Sucess...cuz I am just gonna order it all online where its $100 cheaper.

also, althought I know it is blasphemy here, got a Yeti cooler. Yeti 75 scored for $275 bucks. Wasn't first or second choice but hell I'll take it.

 

Non- truck, Electrical Question. Scientist just told me that for our Euro lab we just need to change the fuse and cord on our Shaker (that also has heating element in it), given I don't know if it has a transformer this seems highly wrong to me. Circuits designed for 110v would not like 220v plus the hertz (think that is frequency of AC swapping) is also different.

Anyone in the know if this is really an issue or just one to finance people like me... so I should just restrict myself to bean counting

 

Bought a new Coleman cooler and the fucking drain plug seal leaks. Thinking about taking it up the arse and just buying one of this EAF coolers.

@Squeaky Penguin do you have this problem?

Duct tape baby (or bailing wire if that fails)

 

I was thinking food safe silicone sealant, but then I keep thinking: why the fuck do I have to fix a brand new defective $120 cooler?

 

I second this! return and try another one. pretty much every retail place lets you return as long as you have recite. idk how many people I have seen buy yeti's or any brand for a weekend and return them the next week after using it, when I worked at cabalas. than you see them in the bargain cave for 20% off

 

If I am reading the correctly they want to switch a machine that is currently wired for 120v operation and put it on 230v?

 

I bought it off Amazon and am in the returns process.

I like this cooler because it's much lighter than the Yetis et al. And seems as though it would retain ice/coldness well if all the water wasn't constantly draining out.

 

Someone is going to be in for a shocking experience! see what I did there? ba dum tish

 

Wheres @ChadsPride when you need a like!

 

If you don't have a receipt buy a new one and keep that receipt to return the first one on.

I read this was a problem with those and those Ozark Trail ones. Remedy was a guy put in a difference o-ring seal on it. Not sure if yours is set up the same but I would just return it.

I know...but 1st EAT point has to count for something right? I mean it is impressive considering I don't even have a toyota.

 

Correct, they think Plug and play after Fuse/ Cord swap. I think this is wrong.

 

you mean #EAF point?
