The Lair

@EatSleepTacos what are your thoughts on plasma cutters ? I had one 20 years ago that would barely cut sheet metal. They have come along way and it was very impressive seeing one cut out the rivets for my shackle flip. You researched any ? I was thinking of getting a Harbor Freight special.

 

I've done limited research but not too much. I have used the harbor freight one at @Casper66 house and I was impressed. That thing would rip right through whatever we were cutting. I've also used the one at @Mobtown Offroad shop but don't know what kind it is. That one is also fun to use. I would like one at some point. I just need to get a compressor first.

 

I have a Hypertherm Powermax 45 for our portable unit and then a 65 runs the table. Requires a big freaking compressor.

 

Those Hypertherms are the bees knees!

 

I've been busy nailing an interview this morning and getting a job offer (humble brag!). It's been a great start to the weekend!

 

Details on the new gig!

 

Cyber security stuff for the government, in a contracting role I'd start next week

 

Ha, I plan on having a new engine/new head gasket in betty white in the next couple months, as well as regearing before the end of the year now.

 

New engine?

 

I have a shitty head gasket, and it's about the same price to put in a used complete engine as opposed to tearing the current one apart and putting in a new head gasket. Both around $3k-$4k. I'm almost at 200k miles to the benefit to a new engine is even at a 100k miles engine, I'm cutting that in half. Between that and a new frame I'm set.

 

New frame?

 

On it when he bought it, IIRC.

 

Yeah it got a new frame right before I bought it

 

ohhh righttt. I thought you were saying that you're gonna get a new frame in the future

 

Your welding has gotten better. I suggest you simply weld the head onto the block. Problem solved

 

Time to ease drop on Miguel and his porn sites again

 

foolproof plan!

 

I surprise myself at time.

I was secretly hoping for Randy to permanently removing the hood, doing the toob dawrz on the 1/2 doors as well, bobtailing his rear, & doing an exocage
