The Official Status Update Thread: Part 87 -RoboCop

[churchmouse]

I gave up on EZ outs for this long ago due to what you have experienced. Exhaust bolts are harder than Chinese arithmetic after years of running at high temps. I try and get the broken bolt ground flat if possible....center punch (using a "Good" punch) and then a center drill. If I get any where near center it is just a patient process of going up one or two bit sizes at a time. When I get close I use a caping chisel and remove whats left while trying to save the threads. Not always successful.

Thanks for the offer on the burr tool.

Find one with no rust if you can. They are notorious for rusting in bad areas.

Much to do in the AM......Im out...................

glockman...you a fish tank guy?

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I haven't had one for years.

Ah...my betta fish seems like he's anti-social, and my oto catfish is a jittery bugger eating at the algae buffet...kind of a boring fishtank.

I loved the betta I had, he'd come to the top of the tank and let you pet him.

Mine doesn't let me pet him, he was pretty active until I started getting brown algae...so I added an oto catfish to eat the algae. I guess it's going to take a bit to normalize again.

The last betta I had was in a 2 gallon bowl; I changed the water weekly and he didn't last too long after I noticed algae. I hope the oto clears up the algae.

Agreed....I did a 30% water change last night before adding the oto, and did another 30% today to clean up some gravel...I need a way to sweep gravel without doing water changes.

Bettas are awesome. I had one for years. Never seen another one like him.

Oh and hello everyone

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

I think there is something that you can get. Might want to check at a pet store.

Have a good evening!
