I think you'll find many of the NON- ass monkey Moderators here also have a PloProf. Nice choice!

(psst: hey Kris, my reference to the badass Seiko Monster Dive watch was a link)

Very nice, and welcome to the forum! There's one piece you're still missing in your collection. The badass Seiko Monster dive watch.

Hey Jeff, welcome aboard! Too bad about your wallet... if it's not starving to death yet..... it will be soon!

A good physical outlet is what works for me. Here's a favorite, turning trees into firewood.

Thanks, inside of the tube is clear under a loupe but the pin it goes on almost looks like a steel jobbie with a layer of brass wrapped around it. Very strange.

You got a deal! PM the address and she's in the mail!

Yikes how hard is it to swap a 4th wheel? I'm thinking jack stands, lug wrench, impact wrenches...

Yikes this sounds all too painful for a ham handed Alaskan. Maybe I'll donate this one somehow to drum up forum interest.

Close, but not quite. "Watermelon" size would describe the nutsack of a pansy Alaskan. Real Alaskans need a refrigerator dolly to assist their mobility.

Yeah I'm thinking that wouldn't work so well. I just spent the day with grinders, a chain saw, hydraulic jacks, a Sawzall and a welder. Fine tool broaching? I'd destroy everything I touched smaller than an inch across. Anyone have a seconds hand to trade for mine?

You're at post #1339 when you wrote this. The system set your title to that automatically at number 1337 -- translated as "leet" in h4xx0r language. They got me too.

Thanks, R. Looking at the post with a loupe it looks way bigger than the hole in the seconds hand. So how hard is it to find a .26 seconds hand? My original met with an (cough) unfortunate incident.

Over time tires will tell you how they like your treatment. Just keep an eye on them. Middle of the tread wearing too fast? Overinflated. Sides wearing too fast? Underinflated. Cupping or scalloping? You have loose pivots in your suspension. Now run your hand across your front tire tread. Is it easier to push your hand across than to pull it back? Then your front end is likely toed in too much. Start with the sidewall pressure and then play with it. My 9.5x33-16 on the Rover beat me to death at their rated 85psi but dropping it to 55psi smoothes them right out. In deep snow 20psi is even better. Get to know your tires and vehicle and the tires will last longer too.

I put a "new" ETA 2836-2 in my MBW 1665 and it worked a couple months then stopped. So I took the movement from an ancient "Paul" Submariner also labeled 2836-2 and swapped it in. But when I switched the hands the seconds hand was too small to fit onto the old "Paul" seconds pinion. What am I missing here? Or where can I find a Rolex seconds hand with a larger opening? Any advice is welcome. Constructive advice that is!

I'm wondering... do we need the caffiene?

Well it depends. Exactly how good is this alleged coffee?

Here's an iPhone photo, freehand, the big blue Alaskan sky as a light tent.

Holy Moses! You or I couldn't take that photo to save a baby from a burning building.

A lot depends on the artist too. Here's what my daughter can do with my cheap point and shoot. Took her 2 seconds to turn, compose and click.

Yeah those markers are like coffee stands... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... bad coffee... GOOD COFFEE!!!! *screech to a halt* (I was going to say it looks like the Lady Ms. Nanuq driving her turbo to work but sense prevailed)

Who says you need a tripod and light tent? Just hang it in a tree or chuck it out on the ground and click.

That looks like the morning commute looking for good coffee.

Thanks gents, those are all courtesy of my iPhone and trying to keep the dogs from grabbing the watch from the setting and running off with it. Shoo dogs! Yeah Praetor, it's turned a nice chocolate brown color.

Good eye! How many hazardous or poisonous plants can you identify in those pics?
