GSO nice job with the jacks. I bought mine mostly for a porch job, but also dragging and logging.

Got a bunch of 3/8ths super alloy shackles but not the big guy like you have. I waited as I did know ultimate size I needed.

Was that 2x4 attached to the upper of the jack pole with a slider? Might help with twisting out fail mode. Just me, safety sally.

You've not seen Firefly?

Oh, you're going to burn in a very special level in hell.


BTW, do NOT watch Serenity until after you have watched Firefly. *spoilers*

The special level, with child molesters and people who talk in the theatre.

But seriously, I watched Serenity before Firefly, when I saw the movie I was confused, found out there was a show it was based on and watched it, and the rest is history. Serenity is just a gateway to Firefly, it really does only make sense when you've watched the show, though.

Yes. You very much need to see it. You'll understand pretty quickly why, and you'll wonder why you ever thought your life was complete without Firefly. So great... Although, I dunno, you might be a little young for some of the content. It's kinda risque at times (and if that doesn't get you to watch it, something is deeply wrong with you).
 
When one of your main characters is a registered companion, it's hard not to be at least a little risque. My entire family has watched it, though, only a few scenes were skipped for the youngest. It's a darn good show.

We've got a neighbor down the street that wears a HUGE bonnet when she's working in the yard. It appears that she's out there with scissors cutting the grass, but I could be mistaken. Haven't gotten a close enough look at the bonnet to see if it has a floral pattern, though. Bigghoss, do they make them with patterns other than floral?

In retrospect, I probably should have attached the 2x4 to the jack... But I had them both positioned to lean into the brick pillars so they wouldn't twist. And I didn't work underneath the rafters, just on the ladder off the edge of the porch where I could cut out the old beam and remove the nails. So I'm not entirely reckless... :D

I did use jack stands when I used the Reese jack to lift a shed and remove a honeybee colony that had set up shop underneath. No way I was going to be squeezed under a shed with angry bees if the jack slipped...

Edit: I really think the JackMate is well designed and am waiting anxiously for a chance to use it to pry open a wrecked car or something. And you can't quite see it in the first picture, but under the shackle is a handy cut out for pulling fence posts and a cut out to use as a bottle cap opener (like everyone's favorite neck knife). The directions even say to "use responsibly."

Perhaps I need to watch this as well so I know what you people are talking about.

Why would I be using scissors to cut grass? I mean, er I wouldn't know anything about that.

Mmmmmmmm in most of the rescue vids I saw they always talk and show about placing mmm how you say? Solid blockers, wedges, chocks, etc that can hold the load, just in case... And if you are sustaining a load, actual load bearing item (not a jack stand even) but solid mass. There's a tech term footprint that.

Now I'm kinda tempted to marathon it again myself. Been almost a year since the last time.

Hoss, you telling me you don't cut your grass with an AA-12?
Click to expand...

About a year for me too. Got to whole series and Serenity on DVD so I could binge it in the couple days before I go back to work.
 
Firefly? What the hell is that? Is it on the telebision? We don't have tele here. We just go down the pub and get in punch-ups for entertainment..

On a different note, someone has hacked into Bladites BF account. How do I know this? Well, whoever it is, is using capitals and punctuation. And they're not being a smart arse. Also, the schnark you in the schnarkhole thread isn't a sticky yet. Oh blessed Blahdeete, where art thou?
 
I think it really is Bladite, it's just that his buzz has worn off just enough to care about punctuation. Once he sobers up completely or has another drink he'll be back to not caring.
