Today I put the liner in. What a big difference. Also, picked up the newly released shorty impact sockets made by Quinn. HF has a 25% off coupon, so I got them for 30. You have to ask an employee to grab them for you at the moment.

LOL. I was going to call it snorkel end, but then changed the post because I didn't have a pic.

That looks like the good stuff, I have a roll of the cheap and real good stuff. The difference is night and day.

Nice sock set man... I think I'm out of 10 mils again..

If one utilizes the sticker correctly, then I agree.

Still takes quite a bit of power to do that...3/8 d's and above anyway. I'm surprised I haven't broke more chrome sockets. 1/4' drives yes, but nothing above that I can recall.

I get these* for a couple cats that often insist on being outdoors. Cardboard under as insulation from the cement porch.

The 10x20 mat can be had w/o the temp robe and it autoregulates ~20°F above ambient, say, 80 max. With the controller you can exceed the lower temp or reach ~100°F. These are also available as ~20x20. 10x20 maxes @ ~20 w. One controller can drive a few units. I like the quality of this brand. Vivosun.

Of course! Been there - did that a couple times before. Lost many notes, thx to a dead phone and dislike of clouds and no simm at the time, so, thx for pointing me to it.😁 Still a vague point or two that I must delve into, to discern. 265HP/236 would be 12+% increase. But I think PI heads were the big player there. Your, "Ford made the intakes small and smaller," was a tease. Numbers are nicer. I don't need more power. But reducing vacuum-drag will add economy.

Kennedy used green wool tool box liners back in the day. In their machinist boxes. They don't offer them anymore. They do have a

PVC coated polyester fabric which is washable, mold & mildew resistant version now. In black though.

You can still get green stuff elsewhere if desired, -

Not sure who sells the good stuff ^^^ there though.

Waterloo and Mcmaster Carr had good stuff as well.

MAC and Kennedy been my all time favorites as far as boxes , -even used now they want a small fortune. If money was no object, ..since that usually comes into play US General it is lol.

Haven't attempted a cloud yet.

So I'm either missing out or saving myself some grief.

It's one of those things... If *I* had invented a cloud, I'd be proud. I didn't, or, don't remember it. But back in the day, I was (& well suiited to be,) a security guy for the army, etc. Clouds, like everything nowadays, is just one more place to be hacked - have your ideas stolen, your privacy invaded. Once it's out there, you cannot know if you erased it well enough. Just like stuff HERE. A SIMM is not a bad, simple physical security. Doubles your phone's memory. Portable and often survives a bad puddle that kills the phone it's in. It's backup. Always believed in backup. That time, I practiced it too late. Lost valuable work. Screen protector and case before you leave the store. And, swap your simm in, or get a new, good quality, bigger one. Backup. Like that cool manual crank handle for the electric winch. 😉 Clouds can be ok, but they take discipline to limit inputs.

Brew: Oh, I forgot about the K&N logo! It's still there, so I'm ballin' with an extra 25 or so!

Whitey: What liner did you end up going with? I've had a nearly empty roll-around next to an over-full one for years. I need to empty everything out of both of them and re-org/re-fill them.

Bill: You're saying "Simm," but I think you mean "Micro-SD card." I swore I'd never buy another phone without a memory card slot after one went TU and I almost lost everything, and a work phone died and I did. Trouble is, most/all of the mainstream brands have ditched them. Dumb.
