  1. I need a temp logging software / program

    It's not all that hard to rebuild a laptop battery. Locate the correct replacement cells and solder them up. I think the hard part would be to open the plastic casing w/o destroying it so that it can be reused. My battery pack is a 6 cell it is called and I'll lay odds they are six "AA" cells...
  2. I need a temp logging software / program

    Ordered a new 9 cell rather than 6 cell battery. I was thinking transformers and such but then realized that is on the power cord.o_O Laptop never see's more than 12v or whatever it is. I bought this notebook, a refurb two years ago so I guess it was due.
  3. I need a temp logging software / program

    An interesting development, I plugged in w/o the battery and the temps have not gone much over 65 C so I'm thinking battery or something in the charging unit.
  4. I need a temp logging software / program

    I plan to stick with the WC desktop. Smaller maybe when and if the need to upgrade arises. I broke the addiction to newest, latest, greatest in the PC arena. Got to feeling like a hamster on a treadmill. It can be the same with cars but I tell you, it is satisfying to blow by some kid in a...
  5. I need a temp logging software / program

    Yes it has amigo. Off topic but I'm like a kid w/ ADD. Did the water cooling thing to my satisfaction then moved on. Now it's automotive, http://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=17922 Big motor in a little van. Right now practicing my metalworking skills on a Jeep so I can fabricate a...

    F12, not much there but with these temps I'm thinking the fan is weak. Off to fleabay for parts. Thanks again!
  7. I need a temp logging software / program

    Thanks Duck, tracer, got the Open Hardware Monitor working, small gadget on the desktop. In the high nineties celcius w/ no load, just the interwebs. Can't for the life of me remember how to get into the bios. Delete ain't it, F12 maybe? Lenovo thinkpad I5
  8. I need a temp logging software / program

    Hey guys, been awhile. As stated I need a program that works on win7 and will log and store temp records prior to crash. I have a Lenovo I5 laptop that is shutting down on it's own and need to see if it is temp related. I opened it up partially and blew out what I could, re-applied TIM to the...
  9. Wall mounting a plasma - not a standard depth wall?

    In that case make a 1/4" gasket from plywood and you'll have 1/2". The outlet / box will finish a 1/4" proud of the surface of the wall.
  10. Wall mounting a plasma - not a standard depth wall?

    3/4" furring strip and 1/2" drywall is 1.25" deep.
  11. Would like to learn basic welding... possible to start with aluminum?

    Common misconception, it costs a few dollars more and is less forgiving depending on the material you are working with. The skills and technique for TIG overlap into other methods of welding so why not learn it? For me not a necessity, so MIG w/ gas was the way to go being mostly a hobby...
  12. Would like to learn basic welding... possible to start with aluminum?

    I weld at home and jobsites when needed, it ain't pretty like a stack o' dimes all the time but I get it done w/ a mig and plasma. If I had the resources to learn and own TIG I absolutely would. The machine you list I think would be ideal provided there were a service center nearby. If I'm in...
  13. Got into my first accident last night, hooray

    Light hit, can't imagine frame damage. Probably bent a steering part or damaged rack. If they total it take the check, buy back the car and fix the steering if you like the car that much. Body work and paint on the door and quarter would be more than the cost of the car alone.
  14. I've had my daily driver for 16 years

    My '97 has just a couple more, 285 or thereabouts. While I've replaced or rebuilt almost everything I have not rebuilt the engine. Considering the number of times I've gone out in the a.m. and she has taken my tools and I to the job, hauled material and whatever else I needed to move from point...
  15. Anticipating a flat

    I haven't checked the pressure in my donut spare since I bought the van 3 years ago. I believe you have a point. I really don't want to disturb the gopher living under it in the backyard at this time though. Maybe in the spring. OP unless you use the 5th tire as part of the rotation...

    They sit in peoples garages unused waiting for a flat that will never come while the owners is watching his paint dry,,,
  17. Anticipating a flat

    Anticipating a flat is like watching paint dry.
  18. Mom gets t-boned in her brand new car

    To wait two years for repair or reimbursement for damage that was caused to a car that was two weeks old is bull. If there was some indication that Mom was at fault I could see two months for a decision but two years, lawyers, court time, investigators and all the other people that get involved...
  19. how can anyone be this stupid?

    Couple years ago a popular local radio station announce a new "signal light sensor" similar to those in use at intersections now but that worked with taps on the horn of your car. It was an amusing drive to work that day...
  20. Buying a old van 1991 GMC Vandura vs 1994 Chevy G20

    There are many to be had at a good price. Be patient, keep the cash handy and keep looking. In the meantime you can add to your kitty so when the opportunity knocks you can jump.
  21. Buying a old van 1991 GMC Vandura vs 1994 Chevy G20

    Not necessarily, I've seen the six in a one ton many times but the odds a good for the 5.7. Most often the 5.3 or 305 CI I've seen more in the passenger vans. The 4.3 was popular for fleet vehicles, you know how cheap the boss can be,,, Conversions are generally cargo vans done by an...
  22. Buying a old van 1991 GMC Vandura vs 1994 Chevy G20

    The G20 G10 =1/2 ton, G20 = 3/4, G30 = 1 ton My donor van was a '93 G20 w/ the 5.7 If your interested here is the build thread. http://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=17922&start=80#p532602 The motor swap begins at that post but I pulled the donor and had the motor built long before.
  23. Buying a old van 1991 GMC Vandura vs 1994 Chevy G20

    2nd one. It's a 3/4 ton truck, if it has the 4.3 like the first one pass on it. I like the 4.3 it is a good motor just not enough for a truck. I have 2 minivans, both GMC Safari and I don't feel the V6 is enough in either of those. I did swap a 350 into the '93 but my '97 has seen better...
  24. Buying a old van 1994 Chevrolet G20 Van

    It looks pretty good. It is an extended van, about 10 feet from the back of the front seats to the inside of the back doors. http://www.jegs.com/i/Chevrolet+Performance/809/12568758/10002/-1
  25. Buying a old van 1994 Chevrolet G20 Van

    That is an option, but even in only an apt there is a lot you can do. With a van an awful lot of tools can hide behind the third row seat. I'm not familiar w/ the average cost of fullsize vans but the Astro / Safari vans were last built in '05 and I've seen some in real good condition go for $5...
  26. Buying a old van 1994 Chevrolet G20 Van

    If the body is good and you like the van it's worth it. Be ready to rebuild / repair pretty much everything because it is over 20 years old. All of it is tired and needs TLC. If you want to get in and drive buy new and make payments or consider those payments your not making on a monthly basis...

    I haven't been around for awhile I guess. Now we use the PC to filter the air in the room?

  29. Best specs for an air compressor for general home and air tool use?

    That's a score. The price is right and likely last a good olng while.
  30. Best specs for an air compressor for general home and air tool use?

    Yep,,, Have you ever gone into a place of business and seen them using anything like those listed on these pages? Having a compressor in the home shop is convenient for some jobs but it will not be the central go to tool in your shop unless you go commercial grade 220 volt or larger. Buy an...
  31. Best specs for an air compressor for general home and air tool use?

    The trashman is right. If you expect to run an air wrench to break bolts or a die grinder, maybe a DA, any body working tools, blowing out sprinkler lines you need to have a good supply of air on hand and particularly if you are running a small 110 v compressor. Oil free compressors won't hold...

    Nice. Congrats on the job, working while it does get in the way make playing with the toys that much more enjoyable. Thanks for the flaring tip, as I've done all mine I can't say when but I'll give it a shot.

    Just saw this and had to subscribe, nice work so far JCH. I did something similar but different, no crossbreeding. http://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=17922&start=100#p537417 Glad to see I'm not the only one that pulled some hair out while playing with the flaring tools, you...

  36. I need a new notebook and want advice

    RD, regarding the link to the HP you posted... it just so happens that I bought that very same one last night on Best Buy. We went down my checklist, read the reviews and found the price to be very reasonable. Great minds think alike... ;) Looking forward to putting this new machine into...
  37. I need a new notebook and want advice

    LOL, they let anybody in here! WB speaking here, Her laptop is the AMD equivalent or response you to the atom. I bought it for her 4-5 years ago and have done every upgrade possible. Maxed the ram, SSD, naked win7 install but the fact is today it is way past it's prime. Time for new. I set her...
  38. I need a new notebook and want advice

    Responsiveness is key here, and I rely on WoodButcher for all software & anti-virus options. I'm not a fan of the bloatware (who is?) either. My main priorities are power & speed. I want whatever I get to last me a few good years.
  39. I need a new notebook and want advice

    Thanks, RD, for the suggestion. I didn't know that about Lenovo. I'm not a fan of 'Made in China' - for anything - but it's virtually impossible to find anything NOT made in China. However, the spyware thing is a deal-breaker, so this is valuable information. Although the i7 is more than I...
  40. I need a new notebook and want advice

    Thanks for your reply. I'm looking for an i5, as I'm more interested in processor speed. Battery life is not a big priority, as it's mainly for home use. The price point is right where I want it, plus or minus $100. My current machine has been upgraded (WB has done all he can do to it...
