mitchnick Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The shutdown is all Bush's fault. I would have chuckled at that but there are people on AP that actually believe it, I'm certain of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just saw Gravity. The best space movie EVER. Incredible, awe-inspiring, stunning...don't have enough superlatives. Sounds like you really liked it.. maybe a good "investment" for me to consider.. on a weather note. it really is an awful October day, finished some deck staining this morning that I had been putting off until the nice fall weather.. should have done it in August... it was nicer then.

Sparky Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I saw the 3d version. It was worth it I think. I liked Star Trek, I am anxious for this one too once it is on DVD or bluray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Went to the MD Renn Fare Saturday and it was disgustingly hot! I like to go in October because it is normally in the 60 or 70s with great walking weather and we look forward to the warm days and crisp evenings. It was downright nasty to walk around 5 hours in searing heat. We dressed for the heat but it honestly felt like 100 in the sun. This year Memorial weekend it was in the low 40s and windy when my 6 year old was playing baseball and the kids had a hard time dealing with the cold, now a week into October we are cooking in extreme heat. Very strange weather year. Seems like out of season extremes were more common this year. Heck we had 6 inches of snow this year here during the last several days of March, what will the winter bring 80s on Christmas, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Renn Fest two weeks ago with the family and while warm it wasn't anywhere near as hot as this weekend so I feel for you. I'm sure the wine and meade vendors loved it, tho.

mattie g Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Here are the numbers for the first week of October at Winchester: Highs: +14.8 Lows: +10.3 Incredible. This was the worst week of October weather that I can ever recall. The rest of the month is looking somewhat more seasonal (but continued dry) according to the long range, but still no real cool air. LR not liking the odds for first freeze anytime in October. We get it. You don't like warm weather in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-83 BLIZZARD Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Thanks H20. Hard to parade little kids around 5 hours in 90 degree heat! I dont mind warm weather in the fall at all. I expect it around here. 90 degrees is uncomfortable anytime even peak summer, for October I consider 80 hot, but 90 is downright brutal. That is dog day of summer beach weather!

Bob Chill Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 OT question...where can I go to get a 1/4" hole drilled in a piece of metal? Will Lowes or Home Depot do that? Any place with a drill press but probably not hd or lowes. If you have an industrial park nearby there's probably multiple shops who can do it for you. A sixpack would get the job done.

I work at a school near him and probably can do it for him. I'd just need the metal bit and a little oil because our shop is exclusively a wood shop.

If you have titanium bits, they'll go through it easy. If not, go slow, drop a drop of machine oil in the hole occasionally. You should be fine. You can take a heavy nail and hit a few times where you want the hole. This will give you a tiny starter indentation. Keep you bit from wandering when you first start drilling.

I would clamp the metal down however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Got it done well enough with a friend's all purpose brass drill bit, but thanks for the suggestions. Just curious, did he know it was brass or was it just brass colored? The reason I ask is the titanium bits are brass colored. Those suckers will drill through anything.

Those suckers will drill through anything. Don't know. He said "brass" on the phone. They were brass colored, not sure if they were actually made of brass. The case didn't say. Just said they were all purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
