    Shit. My garage is done. I just want three more runs of 240v. Makes it easier because there's no upper level.

    Ever just sit around at work researching alternative methods of emergency brakes?

    I'm debating whether I should ask my landlord about adding a 240v outlet vs just getting a 120v welder to learn on

    I think Randy used to use his clothes dryer plug for welding when he lived in MD. That true @EatSleepTacos

    That's a horrible idea. What time?

    Si. I looked at that option and other things. There'd be some fab work for any option as far as I can tell. Maybe in the future....

    That's a great idea! I'm fairly sure my dryer is electric. I'd need an extension cable probably twice as long though

    Definitely possible! Just more expensive since you’ll need thicker wire.

    Definitely go 240v, whether it's a new outlet you add or running a 30' extension cord like Randy. Either way you'll be glad you did.

    Not this weekend, but the weekend of the 21st we should plan something. I've been itching to get out for a while. Now that my fenders are on and I should have the Kings on, it's time to test on it. Any takers? Planners?

    I like big busses and I cannot lie. The size of the wheel wells to turn 40s to 45* of steering angle and kneel to 4" is also pretty neato.

    The new whip for the day

    We could shoot for another weekend. I missed the last adventure, so I'm suffering and stuff.

    I'm serious lol. I'm in the marching band at VT. Pretty much have practice 9am-9pm Monday-saturday before schools starts. And I'm also tied up for every Virginia tech home game lol
