I want to start a new thread about nothing, and let it run...

Sometimes a first run movie sneaks on to YouTube for a couple of hours before it's found and taken off. I don't know what the advantage is to posting them because I'm sure they're demonetized.

Working Man popped up six hours ago. 522k views in six hours.

What a derivative turd of a movie.
Please don't pay to see it.

A film release in March usually means the studio ain't real proud of their work.

What.
A.
Turd.

Spousal unit is out of town.
We're making 20ft gates and general welding on the party patio.
She'll scream like a smashed cat if I don't put it back in party mode by tomorrow evening.
(That's not me on the pic)
The welding cart is a 1954(?)Kennedy roller.

I have far too many Kennedy tool boxes.

I have a hundred or so of these as nut bolt two washer sets.
5/8-11(probably).
I think I got them with a bunch of telephone pole hardware.
I just now cut up some of the washers to use as shims for the gates we're building.

Anyone have a story?
They're common to those folks who use them.
Uncommon to the rest of us.

Ai says they're called
Dan-loc
but they're not.
Ai is wrong (as it often is)
Dan-loc is a company not a tool.

I can't find info on them

Thanks.
At $1.35 each they're priced about like a regular nut.
I didn't want to be using them for regular stuff if they were sacred to aircraft or sailboat guys or someone.

It's not.
stupid ai is using the color as a reference.
An is an aluminum nut, very thin.
It looked for a blue nut, found the most common blue nut, and then made up stuff.
It as a habit of building facts based on sloppy research then using itself as a fact.
It may forever think this is an aluminum nut because it won't bother to look any further.
 
We could ask it about black tanks and then tell it the other tank is also black yet it is not the black tank, but it is the gray tank but it is black, so it's a black tank.

Looks like simple transgender nut to me... both male and female. With your experience that would seem obvious, but yes common to those folks who use them, and uncommon to the rest of us. I would be sure to use the nylon 5mil harbor freight gloves if you need to use one :fishing:
 
I never worry about the front wheels being off the ground. I do worry about the rear wheels not being firmly on the ground because that is where the parking brake is. I think dealers tell RV buyers to never have the wheels off the ground because it is less likely to be confused. If they said never have the rear wheels off the ground people would get confused and not remember which wheels should always be on the ground.
 
In the spirit of one is none, last weekend I finally hooked up my solar diverter. I have vastly more solar than I can realistically use on a bright day (1700W). So I bought a $150 solar diverter and a 200W 12V heating element. I screwed the heating element into the hole that just holds the water heater drain plug. Now excess solar goes toward heating water in the tank rather than simply going totally unused.

Where you "gonna find one of these old water heaters that goes in an RV"?
And an inverter?
And a battery
And a propane tank
And a regulator
And a pump
And a bucket
And hoses

The 5 gallon solar shower is so much simpler.
 
An inner tube full of water in the az sun. A piece of fuel line clamped to the shade valve. Where you filled it is where it stays.
You'll smell like harbor freight after your shower.
Pre solar shower.

The above is why we have an rv.
I am now far too financially secure and far too prissy to stand in the mud to take a shower outside in a 44° windchill.

Like... how many people just happen to have a "spare" unused RV water heater laying around...😄. I swear when I did my solar/lithium battery conversion I looked EVERYWHERE around the house and could NOT find a single 2/0 capable lug crimping tool!
