For an "armed far-right extremist", the police don't seem to be terribly concerned about this guy. Just goes to show who the real problem is, and it doesn't appear to be the conservatives on the right.

I believe we went through a similar situation in a photo a while ago. I would love to hear from out LE members but as I remember it… There is no way any LE personnel would turn their back on an ARMED suspect. If this person did indeed ‘turn himself in’, first thing LE would do is disarm them, then restrain them. Especially, judging by the picture, that the officers are not in imminent life threatening danger from the other direction. Which it does not appear to be. Neither has a weapon out, one has a flashlight, the other appears to be just looking and neither is behind cover.

I call Photoshopped ‘suspect’ added to a picture of two officers just watching or observing something happening down the street, something non-life threatening.
 
LOL. I posted in the wrong thread. Meant it to be in rant for the day.
You see the small flathead screw on the bottom of this?
That is what I had to deal with but it recessed in to the post in order to hold tight on the bracket.

The screw is smaller than it looks and a royal pain to turn.

I was tempted to get one of these but we don't have the space for it. (The snow cone maker).
We used to have a Snoopy snow cone maker. Looked like Snoopy's house with Snoopy on top.

I had to make a "driver" for something like that once out of a hacksaw blade.
 
A Whatzit? No one figured it out yet, so thought I would post here and see what thoughts are.

Mine: too low a temp for candy or syrup. Too small for small batch alcohol. I really do not see a 'flame adjustment' to play with the temperature. But is is sure that temperature is very important to its use!

Temp goes to 190 so yeah, alcohol or seperating would be a possibility as that is 173 degrees/

Thoughts?

Melting temperature apparatus?

The key may be for the case.

A sample holder may be missing from the image.

Just my best guess.

Edit to add an image

Me in lab for thermogravimetric analyzer ( TGA). They gradually raise the temperature of a sample and measure the mass change as constituents boil off. The mass measurement is so sensitive the buoyancy of nitrogen gas is accounted for.

Look how nicely everyone is dressed!!
It was mandatory. If you were going out in public, you had to change into Sunday go to meeting clothes, socks and everything too. I can remember having to change from 'play clothes' into something more respectable to go to the Giant Market for groceries.
 
Last time I was on a plane I wore pajamas and slippers. My feet always swell on planes so wearing slippers wasn't an option. Nowhere near that much space in cattle class when I flew.

The people in town are lucky that I bother to wear pants. LOL. I truly do not care what other people think about how I'm dressed. I dress for comfort.

Dripping ceiling and the damage. It's right under a duct from what I can tell.

I really need to get something to dust the cabinets and ceiling.

Didn't people dress nicer when they were going somewhere years ago? I probably wore my Sunday clothes on my first flight.

I was boarding a flight once and a flight attendant asked someone getting on if they would like to fly first class. They selected a woman who was very nicely dressed and I heard a conversation about that.
 
I still like to look fairly decent to go into town. Habit. But I wear chore clothes in the morning, and change after chores. Also wear an apron, mostly for the pockets, but it protects my clothes, too.
Nowadays people seem to think pajamas and flip flops are fine for the stores.
We wore aprons a lot when we were home, as kids. We even put aprons on (we, girls) when we ate.
 
Found this pic last night, brought back a memory or two. I learned to drive on a model C like this one. I was 6 or 7, pulling a wagon in a hay field. Dad bolted blocks of wood to the clutch and brake pedals so I could reach them.

My first tractor to drive was a JD B model. Probably somewhere around the same vintage as your AC.
Amish the mention of Putt Putt sounds exactly like the ones I grew up with. Great old tractors
 
This allis had a 4 cylinder engine so it sounded smooth. Still only about 18hp though.

A John deer B had a 2 cylinder engine which gave it that 'pop-pop' sound when running. About 16hp for the early models, up to 28hp in last years.

20 years ago I rented an acreage with four acres of lawn to mow. The landlord had an old AC just like that one but with a wide front, turf tires, and a six foot belly mower. I user it for three summers. It was a fine tractor for cutting the grass. The crank start still worked if I needed to use it.
