Come root for the Pens as we try to make history. Again.

Being an Englishman (and living in Flyers country) I prefer soccer.

My roots are in supporting Azura's Team

Flyers country? You poor soul.

Futbol! It’s sad, Khajiit is going to have to find another country’s team to pull for in the World Cup this year, since soccer/football in America is so pathetic.

Still haven't gotten paid for my sold CO2 pistol.


I need my moneyzzz!!

Yesterday afternoon I finally drummed up the initiative and courage to tackle my long postponed lawn mower belt replacement project. Did the work indoors, on the kitchen floor, due to cool windy weather and needing quick access to a YouTube how-to video. I ought to have cleaned the mower before bringing it inside. Nope, didn't happen. Kitchen was a mess before all was said and done. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Hit a SNAFU almost immediately. I bought the wrong belt at Home Depot. Made a run into town to correct that. Miracle of miracles, I remembered to take the empty mower gas can with me and fill it with No-Ethanol on the way home!

Took forever to loosen the driveshaft bolt. Was beginning to think I'd have to ask for help when it finally budged. All other bolts were a relative piece of cake, though some were a pain to reach. Partway through reassembly I discovered the new belt was too short to fit over the driveshaft. Disassembled everything again. In the end, I needed to reassemble the mower in a different order than the video shows for the belt to fit properly.

Hours after starting, and an hour past normal supper time, all was ready, or so I thought. Was about to take it outside, fire it up, and give it a quick test. Only, I noticed that dread of every reassembly project...an extra bolt sitting on the counter! Eeep! Couldn't for the life of me recall where it might go. Returned the mower to the front porch and called it quits. At the table, eating supper, the bolt's position came to me. Thankfully, it was the one bolt that doesn't require tilting the mower on its side to reattach. Still, I decided to postpone that task until today.

I screwed in the bolt an hour or so after lunch, added gas, fired it up, and pressed the drive engagement bar. BINGO! Off I went. Mowed the entire yard. I set the mower to cut one position higher than usual to be on the safe side. (Weeds had grown awfully tall.) I'll lower it to normal cutting position next mow.

My only real concern is that I didn't have a torque wrench to tighten the driveshaft bolt to specifications. If and when I get my hands on one I'll take care of that. Hope I tightened it enough!!!!!

The rule of thumb is "Tighten until it breaks, and then slacken off half a turn." Which is actually not far from the truth, just not quite the best way to determine it.

Well I hope you at least still have the pistol

I made an interesting discovery! The Nintendo Switch can capture gameplay video Teasing Paya. I thought teasing Paya was the best video to test it .

Yeah I’m pretty sure my PS4 will record video too. It’s a cool feature.

Penguins are making a statement of game one. Currently winning 7-0

That’s not much of a game, lol

I didn't even know recording game video was an option on the Switch, maybe I 'll do some gaming videos using the Switch, then again Nintendo's not very friendly towards YT gamers. Then again I don't monetize my videos so I don't think there be any issues.

Nah, should be fine as long as you aren’t using their IPs to profit.

At my age, the rule of thumb is more accurately "Tighten until your shoulder dislocates or you suffer a heart attack, then back off and get someone younger to finish tightening."

.
No score against the Philadelphia Flyers is too high. Rivalry n'at.

Ah, the human equivalent of the torque-limiting ratchet. It can't be too tight, I can't do that any more.

I do. Nothing gets sent until Crow is paid

Still, there is a seller's fee I have to pay but unless I get paid myself I have to fight it.
