New knife. Emerson CQC-7A. Impatiently awaiting its arrival.

Mmm Emerson, I want one of the protech auto Emerson's but You can't carry an auto in ca

[myinfernalbmw]

I love the protechs but we are also unable to carry autos. I wish we could because the protech autos are more readily available and cheaper than the Emerson folders. I've been looking for 3 different Emerson knives for the last 3-4 months and ended up settling for the one pictured. It was as close as I've come to finding the actual knives I wanted.

Yeah I like that Emerson makes fairly simple, high quality knives. I do wish he would use something other than 154cm though

154cm is good steel, its a little brittle but its still a great knife steel, Its my 2ed choice behind S30V

I know this is silly to post....but it's the little things that make life fun.

Red twist ties. So when I'm selling something with a wiring harness, I can make it nice and neat before shipping (was using a zip tie, but it needed to be cut off - so this just makes one less step for the end user)

Oh, and the color happens to be "Red Rocket Labs" *red* to boot! ;)

My go to choice is s30v too. I wish Emerson would update their steel but I get his reasoning for not. Personally I think Emerson knives are overpriced for what you get but I like Ernest Emerson so I want to own one.

And GG, I like the way you party.

Lolz Thanks.

Here is another recent buy.

14,000 capacitors for a recent (non-e30) project. Small reels are only 1000. Larger reels are 4000. All xr7, 5%, 50volt, top of the line Samsung stuff. (Samsung is the new big dog in electronics)

Going towards a capacitor decimal substution box.

Why on reels? They come on "reels", that look much like old 8mm film/movie reels. The reels are designed for automated "Pick-and-place" machine assembly. I'll be working with them by hand for the time being. At lease to place them. Soldering them is done in a reflow oven.

They are all 0805 (8mmx5mm) - same kind of stuff that is in your cell phone. Well, your phone might have 0605's in them. Even smaller (0402) - about the size of a pepper flake in your dinner). (swiss army knife for scale)

As soon as I kick this upper respiratory, sinus and ear infection I'm putting these babies to good use!

Fuckin summit sent me the wrong wires....

They'll probably let you keep the incorrect ones though.

I have been wanting to get into something a little more dangerous/adrenaline inducing since my days of riding around on a Ninja 250R.....

So I picked this up.

2003 Yamaha R6



I am already in love.

^ I don't recall. Are those fuel injected?
