Good morning everyone, been awful hot down here but for the first couple of days this week it was 90 with very little humidity, the wind was blowing and felt alot like spring. Considering it has felt like 110+ for the rest of the time, jeez its been tough. My oldest had his first go at the State 4H shooting competition. Out of 61 kids shooting .22 rifle open sights with no optics he placed 25th
You can see the end sight on the barrel to get an idea of what hes looking through and see down range just how small the bullseye is at 150', it aint easy for sure. This day it felt like 112 out there, was brutal for everyone. Figure nerves got to him being his first time there and the heat didnt help, but I am very proud of him. Hes got a couple more years to try again if he likes.
As it turns out Lane may not be Lactose intolerant, hes not been a happy camper still so we went back to the dr again and having gone over all thats going on it maybe thats he has reflux. We have changed the way he feeds and giving him meds to help with it so time will tell and we keep praying that gets right and gets over it.
I have been busting butt in the shop and giving it all I got, is much easier to do so when its nice and cool in there lol. I chopped up a couple species of rough funky looking burl chunks to make these outa sight live edge WS bodies. Piece below is Flame Box Elder Burl
No one has claimed it yet if youre interested hit me up.
When moving I found a few gems here and there and discovered I had just a few more Myrtlewood chunks from the ZapMan from way way back. Ohhhh these are burly too
Really been enjoying my time out there.
@anda1anda2 Hahaha hope its going well and smoothing out after your post above.
@HughJundys I am happy to hear you are enjoying your unit bro and laughed at how you might have to quit following me at IG. Hahaha oh you know i got a treasure for you, just havent posted it yet but rest assured I will lol. Oh and I dont twist anyones arm but like
@sixstringsmash said its not a bad idea to have 2. I feel its kinda like a ext. drive for storing all your data and as I have had happen in the past a time or two, one always goes bad but 2 not so. Thats a beautiful unit you got bro, I really liked working that piece. Afzelia has a pleasant fragrance when turning it also, makes the beauty of it and the smell an enjoyable experience. Get this I have a hella sniffer, I can smell things and it takes me back to times in my life, I can look at woods and recall the odor, most I like a few I dont. Some I dont know what they are in the rough and have to smell em to get an idea. I have said it here before, I would show my youngest and tell him to smell it and hed bury his nose in the grain, saying oh dad I like this wood haha. You got a lot of glass there bro, just not a fan myself, all good though. Those small bubblers on the other hand sure do make a good time even better dont they. I appreciate the kind words!
@sixstringsmash Bro I really apologize for the mishap with the package and am praying that it gets turned around and back to me soon. I am also curious as to how the return is working for you now? Lol on the video.
@arb Thanks for stopping by, you grabbed one? Pls tell me more, if so I sure hope she does, if not we got an issue lol.
@Modicum My man thanks for the bday wishes and for staying in touch, I appreciate you.
@cloraform Good to see you.
@-dab8- Hello and thanks for the post and the interest. Question 1, yes there is a heater cartridge within the air path. Air travels down the outside of it through the air inlets and over the heater. Yes the tip does rest on the top of the heat port and could sit on the filter disc. I load mine using the straw method and giving it a light tamp then just place it slightly over the heat port. I havent seen anything stick to it and have not had it scorch. Question 2, generally nothing falls into the unit, if it did it would be minimal and very small debri. The way the unit is made its rather easy to keep clean and free of any debris. You could get a can of compressed air and blow down through the top of the heat port and any tiny particles could be blow out the air inlets and then turn over to remove any again. The tip and load can not come in direct contact with each other, just cant happen.
@KidFated. Thanks for posting up the info bro, I dont get in here with as much time as I would like to answer the questions and know guys like you are here to help out means alot to me, thank you!
@LesPlenty Thank you as well for posting up with answers and advice, am most grateful! Thats a really neat PS you got there, I like that. I have run mine up to 13V but found it to be to hot for me. Ive heard of some folks running up to 14v but wouldnt suggest it for long periods and sure wouldnt go any higher than that. Happy to hear your enjoying it as much and hope you continue to do so, there really isnt a need to go to anything else you got all you need there a desktop and a portable, winner winner chicken dinner!
@Ramahs Neat way to use the WS. Thanks for posting up and helping out also bro. The WS heater isnt that far from the tip, it may be hard to see down in there through the filter disc, its closer to the top than it is from the bottom.
@felon167inc Thanks for keeping an eye on what I am doing, not sure if you follow me at IG, you can see a whole lot more there. Hope you are getting the answers you are looking for here too. Yes sir it can do trates as well. I know users do the herb sandwich and also use the hemp twine method with much success.
I hope all is well out there for you all and everyone is staying cool. From what I see and hear its hot all over. Wishing everyone the best!
One thing that really bothers me is this Imgur issue here. I dont claim to be a smart man and dont wanna spend so much time reading through this or that to not understand even more than I already dont. But dont get why it worked before and why it doesnt now. I cant go back and repost all the pics I had from it, I dont have the time nor the patience. I dont like this tinypic crap, ugghhh I dont like change and cant get why it just cant be fixed, surely its not rocket science and surely they are people out there way way smarter than me here at the forum that could make this fix and all would be good. This sis such a PITButt.
