What's your current headache?

Thanks. We have to hold him upright for 30 minutes after he eats and he loves it. This dog has to be next to a human 24/7 just about.

Awesome! Mine have to be sitting on me or next to me most of the time.

Snapped off a tube socket solder tab on this Kay 703C that I'm "restoring", which is more like fumbling around and fixing the things that I break or burn

Fortunately, it looks like eBay has my back: https://www.ebay.com/itm/156110381163

Wise to ditch wafer sockets and replace with sturdier ceramic sockets?

Probably, although I'm seeing that most are 5/8" mounting holes with 7/8" bolt centers. My chassis drillings are wider: 3/4" mounting holes with either 1-1/8" bolt holes or 1-1/4" rivet holes - see photo attached (disregard the Deoxit residue.) I'm concerned that drilling 7/8" holes for modern sockets will be too close to the 3/4" opening.

Digging deeper, I think these sockets might be a good solution. If I measured correctly, they should drop right in.

More my current heartache. We are saying goodbye to our beloved old dog today, Parker. He’s suffering from kidney failure and stopped eating two weeks ago. He’s not feeling great. And neither are we. It’s really hard.

I’m so sorry. There’s nothing as painful. Incredibly strong of you to not let him suffer more to put off the pain of the decision. My heart breaks for you. Dogs are too good for us.

The mass amounts of old rusty metal I have been pulling out of the tetanus mine field that is my backyard.

is that from contractors, or just history (and contractors)? And here I am grumbling about stones in the soil...

The house is 114yo so history and the history of hillbillies that owned it prior…. They burned a lot of stuff in the yard.

 

[jessenator]

Yeah, a centenarian burn pile'll do that. Sorry, man.

There is also the possibility there was another structure on the lot that burned down a long time ago.
