I have been studying about bicycles and gators though...

Here is a guy who missed his chance...

He was a scaredy cat, I s’pose

Just found out one of my dad's cousins committed suicide. Diagnosed with dementia and in financial trouble. Never mentioned anything to either of his siblings or other family

If he was living alone. He became withdrawn. You wouldn't know anything that was going on until something happens. Like this.

That’s no good. Mental health can be a ************.

gosh, thats horrible man.

very very sorry to hear about this.

Thanks brother. Frankly it's a real shock. I'm stunned. The family is both sad but also angry with him. The back and forth of that is emotionally draining.

The engine has been through several iterations, and the latest version is a 4.2-liter screamer that touches 8,200 revs at redline. With the help of Jim Wolf Technology, the motor is stretched to the limit in a way no other road course-oriented VQ has before. The VQ35HR block and heads benefit from a massive Bryant Racing crankshaft, Carillo rods, lightweight JE pistons, and 15:1 compression. With outstanding compression and a wide rev range, its 537-wheel-horsepower is easy to use.

Looking to put one of my pneumatic outlet blocks near ground level on the wall of the garage. Want some sort of protector on either side that will:

a) prevent me from banging something into the coupler attached to the block
b) not hurt like hell when I inevitably bang my foot/shin/face into the protective item.

I was envisioning something like a half hemisphere that could screw into the wall. Anyone know if something like that exists out there?

You mean like a bulkhead fitting?

Aluminum box circled in blue is moving down to where the chitty blue box drawing is. Want to put rubber bumpers or something where the crooked-*** red lines are, that extend out from the wall 3 or 4 inches, so as to protect the coupler on the aluminum box from being hit.

Use a router with a circle jig, cut half a circle above the block and insert piece of flat rubber stock into it? Maybe a cone-of-shame from a veterinarian cut in half? just some idea.
