05:24:17 <arch> rc-garage, good news about that valve grind and lapping job--it worked. bad news, i didn't expect the oil to come shooting out from that little square area, so it squirted out some oil all over me when i started it up with a spray of carb cleaner
05:24:33 <arch> i need to put the valve cover back on
05:24:44 <arch> and then put the replacement carb on. but it's good to know the engine works
05:25:12 <arch> now i know how to do it for all the other small engines i have that are flathead engines
05:26:59 <rc-garage> well, most of the non flatheads, you do not need to grind the valve, to adjust them.
05:41:26 <rc-garage> But, I kind of like flatheads, even if there is no good reason ffor that
05:44:51 <K> ur a flathead!
05:52:21 <arch> no u
05:56:17 * K replaces arches window washing fluid with yogurt
05:58:42 * arch pours valve grinding compound on K's windshield and turns on the wipers
05:58:59 <K> ha! i do not have a windshield!
06:24:25 <rc-garage> 5thwheel grease is great on wipers
06:26:38 <K> talking about grreases, i am setting up to buy 5 liters of ISO 10
06:27:10 <K> i think i've come up with a way, in my mind, on how to do PCBs without messing with the fuckig FR4 dust
06:28:19 <K> I had that ikea air cleaner thingy, with particle sensor in my lair and made a couple of pcbs, with cnc
06:28:25 <K> it went totes bonkers

10:33:42 <AustGuest0207> Hi, does anyone know where I can get my BM235 screen replaced or where I can buy a replacement? I've tried the repair forum, no luck there. Any help is much appreciated. Is it appropriate to email Dave to ask for advice about this? What is his email address pls?

12:05:47 <MrMobodies> SpecSavers to me they were scum... many frames and sizes that don't fit my head and refusal to look or order ones that do fit.
12:06:48 <MrMobodies> when I was five, a set was chosen there and the legs were too small where they'd fall off, my parents kept on bringing me back there and all they'd do is bend the legs with a hair dryer which dug into my head
12:07:07 <MrMobodies> in 2000 same issue, limited sizes of frames
12:08:35 <MrMobodies> at the private opticians, they measured my head, looked for a draw somewhere and they'd be all different width's and lenfths
12:08:52 <MrMobodies> maybe it's because they are cheap
