I walked down there a few minutes ago and they already had it out
The good news is that they also had a freshly located giant hole surrounded by caution tape and cones, complete with a big drain/sewer line right in the middle of it !

It looked to be around 8-10' deep. One of the local inspectors was just breezing through my location and when I asked about Carter Chevy he said the operator will be OK. It was a partial basement with stairs that they knew about, but he got too close with all the dust/debris limiting visibility and in he went. Seatbelt + not trying to jump out as it rolls = alive. I'm not sure why a basement wall would have something at head height that looks like a sewer drain, but that's why I'm not an inspector.

Possibility the "sewer" line could've been for utilities? |

I’ve been using a wusthof pro chefs knife for a while now but the edge breaks down way too fast, so I’m trying out a zelite infinity Japanese chefs knife. Like most new knives they come out of the box insane sharp. I did a bunch of chopping without touching the edge on steel and very happy so far . Looks to hold up well.
Just use a towel or apron to wipe your knife after you take a couple passes on steel. Not your boxers  Attached File Attached File |

I used to use Wusthof still, have a bunch for odd shapes, but went Japanese for my work horse and never looked back. The edge geometry and high carbon stand up so much better to abuse. My German knives would need to be tuned durring cooking and sharpened often. My Japanese knives stay sharp the whole time, and even when the edge does begin to dull, they still cut well.

PGW Coyote in 6.5 CM with a stainless steel cerakote finish. It was a fantastic deal from a great guy on Snipershide. He threw in all the swag and three extra 10rd mags ($200 each!). Everything else comes with the kit. The actual Canadian Army kit (.308) also comes with a laser, titanium suppressor and S & B scope. Unfortunately, those were not in there.

How a big brake upgrade and axle replacement ends for the day.
I'm reliving last fall's ball joint fail all over again. Ball joint frozen to control arm. Ball joint shot. This time, there is a missing wheel bearing bolt. Not broken, missing. Machine shop, here I come. What started this was a massive tire falling off vibration at highway speed and pulsing brake pedal while stopping. Previous owner took the time to put in new guide pins and bolts, but no grease. The pins are frozen. The caliper was dragging on the rotor. You can see the high spots on the rotor. They also cheaped out on pads, who uses semi metallic pads anymore? It looks like the rotors would wear out before the pads.  Attached File |

I had a couple Aimpoint Pros and a couple Vortex Strikefires(version I) on guns. They worked identical and I sold the Aimpoints because they cost more than twice as much as the Strikefires. There is a version II Strikefire out now. Vortex has a lifetime warranty. Battery life was excellent. |

I have an astigmatism and if I have it turned down enough it's fine, but on brighter setting it gets a little wonky. That said I do love the thing. I have a PRO and a CompM2/M68. I also have a Vortex Strike Eagle that's best of both worlds.
Zeag, let me know if you want to try any of them out. You can borrow them too as long as you don't adjust them
