Actually that sounds like you are pushing it too hard and got a little off center. Use a sharp bit and just keep it tight to the metal. Let it cut, don't try to push it through.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

hey Tim!

I was sorting through my parts shed today, noticed a box I'd not opened from you, contained a multi-selection switch. Now, I know I deal with memory issues from my seizures, especially last summer and fall, which is from when this switch was sent from the date on the label. Do you happen to recall wtf I was gonna use it for? Or did I even say?

If it wasnt that, it was the nice pink coolant chrysler uses. Think they put it into diesels too...

That's one thing you gotta watch, Cummins calls for a different coolant than other Chrysler products. At least for those years. It was till the standard Green.
 
Add the wrong coolant to one of the newer systems and it will turn to Jello like goo...and it’s hard as hell to flush out.

When gm switched to dex-cool they drained green/refilled with the new stuff. Turned to jello-pudding.
 
Now for something completely different.

As I was leaving the kitchen this big mama was hanging on the window.

Turned off the lights and headed out.
But when I got back from walking the dog, she was still there.

I think that's my first this year. Certainly the first big green one.
I was a bit surprised I had to physically take her outside. Not happy about it either - tried to bite me. LOL
 
I’ll raise you one. In 54 years i have never seen a bug like this..

Don't know about their bite, but them 'serrated' front legs have a bit of power to grab skin...
 
That is a Cicada killer wasp. We see them around here often. They don’t lose their stinger when they kill.

Maybe that's what it was. I felt a pinch as I carried her out the back door.
 
That's a great picture TJ.
Dave - That's ones that make a nice round hole in the ground, right?

There are two types. One that builds a ground nest and another (like TJ showed) that build a typical honey combed nest above ground. They love getting into attics or birdhouses to build their nests.

We had a big nest in our attic one summer when I was a kid and they worked their way into the house. Was a looong evening eradicating them.
 
Wood wasp or horntail.
Lay eggs in trees, two years until they emerge.
 
ugh... I have to get a Twitter account now... MBA program requirement. :BangHead:
