I've been fine tuning my own chili for 25 years or so and it is my favorite, however that Stagg chili is as good as any that comes out of a can. Pour it over some rice with fresh chopped onions and some grated cheese.

I got this glider cheap (relatively speaking) because the finish was literally blowing off the wings.
About 400 hours of work later, I'm flying it.

I made this tonight.

It's mounting plate for my J&M CB.




























Brackets that do this are sold on the interwebs for $50+; I think this cost 2 hours labor and <$4 in parts.

Hey some of the best Chili I've had is at small Rallies where everyone brings a can of some chili, stew and/or? it all gets mixed together in a big pot - Biker Chili.
The music starts in the Tent later on.........

Whipped up this sterling silver fork bracelet for mom for Christmas. It's a little marred up from bending it but still came out pretty decent I think. Hopefully she doesnt read ADV!

There is no contact between metal parts and I can't say what the life span is of a pump....... There are no lubricants used and there is a company (not us) that makes similarly designed pumps as small as .2cfm and as big as 45cfm and up to 120psi. Our facility consumes a lot of air, and I mean A LOT between a dozen or so vertical and horizontal CNC mills and an equal amount of CNC lathes not to mention media blasting and blow guns all over the place. We have two scroll units about the size of a refrigerator that supply sufficient pressure and volume for the entire shop, and when they are running if you stand next to them you can only hear them hum.

I wish I could tell you more, but I assure you, the details are incredible.
an intrinsically safe, high volume, low/no surge design....my imagination is running wild.

I like Hormel Chili better than Naleys, good road food...now available in Canada.
Oh yeah! Good catch. In our kitchen it's F.I.S.T., first in stays there.

Any guesses what this is for? It still needs a little something something on the bottom for flow control.
