NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

[tv1217]

I look a couple times a week and they've only had the same five or six jobs up for a while. They all require some electrical or machinist experience. Last time I was alerted to a Utility Person opening, it was gone by the time I looked.

$1200 dryer. 2 cycles and I have this... Tripping breakers


Proudly made in America by scum!

Are you selling it? Or are you complaining that its tripping your circuit breaker because its a "generic" machine?

If the latter what is the circuit breaker amp that you are putting this dryer on.
Do you have anything else connected to that circuit.
Is it tripping at start up? During a drying cycle, etc?

 

[CTC B4Z]

Do you not see the issue?

 

[jedi]

That your black wire had burned.
Too much voltage/current going thru it.
Did you plug it into the correct receptical?

 

[CTC B4Z]

It's resting on the burner

 

[CTC B4Z]

used the dryer twice. It always had a hot smell to it but I figured it was cause it was new. Packing oil or something. Then today it trips the breaker. Try another outlet. Pops again. Sears won't come pick it up, they need me to haul it back and wait til Friday for replacement. They are only offering 10% kick back which isn't enough. Fueling costs and my labor alone aren't even covered with that. I demand satisfaction. Now that I know it wasn't install error and it's a defect I got em.

Whew, that was a long nap. Did I miss anything?

Long story short: Neighbor's dad passed. He inherited the following revolver. Coliat A.E. revolver .38+P
Anyone got any info on these? It's a keepsake and have it to clean and take to the range because he will be gone for work for over a month. He would like to know the history, and I won't have time to research for a couple weeks.

UPDATE: She went bang, not boom! Ran a cylinder full of .38 through her after the Youth Shoot. Good news for my neighbor. Seemed appropriate to let him know on Father's Day.

My neighbor, who is out of town on a job with quite a few on the horizon, texted me & asked if I would take his wife to the range and teach her should she need to defend herself. I think I will parlay the situation and see if she would like the 2 daughters (17 & 19) too. I have tutored both of them in middle school. I think this is doable, especially if my wife is there to acknowledge the information and demonstrate with her firearm and all of mine (our's).

Same ol.

Sears is still in business? I would go straight to the manufacturer.

Might as well teach the group if you can. Usually a bit easier. And a great idea too, since the daughters are old enough as well.

...demonstrate with her firearm and all of mine (our's).

Hmm. Don't you mean with her firearms, including the ones she lets you use occasionally.

 

[PlainClothesPatriot]

Bump

Teaching, yes.
But shooting... might want to bring someone to help supervise with the shooting. Less waiting is better.

Most of the time, but in case you forget something and remember while getting ready to shoot, or while shooting you don't have to call a cease fire to let 5hem all know.

 

[Ericpwp]

I think Act is volunteering to teach the girls to shoot.

returned garbage washer/dryer to sears.

now to see what to buy next. will be without washer/dryer for probably a week

 

[Ericpwp]

Is there a gun show this weekend? You'd be all set.

I had a problem with a washer from lowes. The guys delivered it and I asked them if it was ready to run, they said yes. I stacked them and when it hit the spin cycle the thing fell over and was damaged. They didn't take the shipping brackets out. They replaced it with the model I bought. Too bad the one that I returned was the higher end one they accidentally sent me.

 

[magic man]

ANybody in the area use Sprint cell service? Are you happy with it?

 

[Ericpwp]

I haven't dropped a call in years. Content is more like it.
