More like fatal. Considering the materials involved suggests the process was even higher temperature than solder at its piddly 183C (lead tin eutectic solder). Brazing uses nastier fluxes and runs up into the cheery cherry red temperatures well above 450C. But it will stick retainer wires to other metals fairly reliably – not that the retainer would be recognizable afterwards.
This girl’s a late bloomer. I was contemplating these sorts of things back in the late 50s with my younger brother on the receiving end. Then I got my ham radio license and discovered male peers of my own age…. I got dumb for a few years, at least about some things.
Son (The Jewelry Doctor Palm Beach Gardens, check out those reviews in a place swarming with 3-piece suited snobby jewelry stores) has a LaserStar iWeld that cranks out 125 joules and can instantly pinpoint weld any metal to any other metal with no ancillary heat generation and no damage to gemstones or mouthparts.
Getting Skye’s head and the bumper into the laser chamber would be problematic but Sam’s an engineer, so…

Skye is a creative construct from Chris’s well rounded imagination.
Her character, and her myriad set of flaws and foibles, has struck a nerve with you. Light, Dark, Shadows and all the shades of gray in between have their place in order to create balance. Skye is a point of balance no matter how much she annoys, bemuses and irks any of us. She has her place at the table.
Apparently, there is some movement underway (Million Woman March) to go disrupt the day on January 20, 2017, in Washington, DC. I’ve been in WDC in winter. I know how beastly it can be. One forecast is for an Alberta clipper (nasty little thing!) to hit the Atlantic corridor, including WDC.
Perhaps one could sacrifice a goat cheese, some raspberries and a glass of cheap wine to Shu, the Egyptian god of the atmosphere, and ask him nicely to make it a really, really lousy day for protesters, with weather delays on highways blocking eastbound traffic, flight delays, and no access into WDC unless you can show a parking sticker or a work-related ID. But the whole town will be shut down anyway, because 1/20/17 is a Friday.
Yes, I’ve seen some of those roadblock videos. Blocking an interstate in the dark? Blocking firefighters/EMTs and 18-wheelers? And they wonder why someone gets hit by a car? And I’m supposed to sympathize with stupid people? Never gonna happen.
I don’t see any of the Million March Women leaving the area cleaner than they found it. Plus who’s paying for all those Porta-Potties?

Trump has other locations. Doral who be glad to host the Inaugural Parade and swearing in. Or maybe some property in Texas or Central Florida. Miami Beach could host all of the Inaugural Balls, and we had 50,000 people on the beach on Ocean Drive for the Beach Boys one fine Independence day. So many possibilities. No need to party in the swamp until it is drained. Certain traditions, like ice and snow and freezing weather, do not appeal to me at all. Get a vacation out of it. Not ice, snow and feezing weather.

Some people get a little weirded out when they find out I’ve pulled engines.
Car Chicks welcome here! The airfield-cum-racetrack is about six miles from home where I can here the roar of the vettes and vipers and the whine of the Peugeot and audi turbodiesels on my patio at night, but I haven’t actually gone to the party in a while.
My old LEO customers/buddies always offer free tix and to get me into the paddocks and pits; offered Chris and his Dad a last go ’round last year for old time sake (they went together back in the day he said), but Dad was not up to it, and now we know why. 🙁
But if you should wing this way come March my dear, you will get the honored guest treatment. We can hit the drags too; that was started years ago by a friend, then there was a lull and now it’s back. Gabe White started coming to my shop to get speakers for his car in high school and after he was a first round pick in the bigs he, his dad George and brother Charlie (best transmission shop in central fla) continued to be loyal customers for guns, jewelry, etc. as he shopped his relief pitching around from Montreal to Cincinatti to Colorado and finally the Yanks..he’s retired here now with a nice little personal museum of hot cars and a vintage gas station that I sold him next door.
And for the inauguration? Hell yes. Plenty of room and dead center of population centers and major airports to the North South East and West, and thanks to the Mouse, more hotel rooms within a little over an hour’s drive than in most states.
Did I mention one of the reddest counties in one of the reddest states in the country this cycle? Yeah, Southrons and other deplorables still rule here, for now.

From what I’ve read, that’s not the only group planning on attempting to disrupt the swearing in ceremony. Clearly, they do not realize that if they get too rowdy, the principles and DC elites will simply adjourn to the rotunda of the capitol building and swear Mr. Trump in there. Something of an inconvenience but, all in all, not a very big deal. Of course it WILL be a big deal for those who traveled and spent serious bucks to room in DC or Baltimore.
If the ones who are throwing the temper tantrum get too rowdy, one could hope the authorities would use water cannons to break it up. That would be a right pleasure to watch!

Yeah, no such thing as a “bumper” anymore. At least not on anything less than a full pickup. 🙁
(BTW, WTF thought it was safer to have a bit that crumples at 5mph, than one that withstands 30mph? Seriously?)
November 20, 2016 at 9:51 am
Old Codger
The idea was to make a bumper that would not incur significant damage in a low speed collision so as to reduce the likelihood of insurance companies having to pay out. Additionally, there was also a desire to remove the battering-ram-like bumpers of existing cars. With a 30 MPH bumper such as you describe, side impact collisions were frequently lethal.
November 20, 2016 at 9:54 am
markm
Basic physics. If the car hits something and stops suddenly, the passengers also stop suddenly. If your head hits the windshield at 30mph or your chest hits a rigid steering column at 30mph, it’s likely to be fatal. Even 10mph might put you in the hospital. A bumper that gives and slows the car to a stop over several feet helps protect the passengers.
However, the safety experts appear to have forgotten to coordinate this with the other safety improvements they introduced at about the same time: seatbelts, collapsing steering columns, and airbags. You can’t be impaled on the steering column anymore, and your face meets glass only if you didn’t bother to fasten your seatbelt _and_ the airbag fails. A bumper that didn’t give at 30 could seriously injure you when you slam into the restraints, but I think one that wasn’t damaged at 10mph would be safe enough.

All the better for giving the Progs the boot . . .
Also, this is a new pattern. The old one that we have seen many times in different colors and on different sexy little sundresses, etc. are decidedly spermatozoidal…make of that (and the ducks for that matter) what you will.

Lessee… Mere Alberta High Plains in January weather is mild, compared to the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains weather, in January.
One -65°F nighttime temperature week {7 full days} ordered, to be shipped to Washington, DC, USA: Arrival date at 0001hrs January 17, 2017. Guaranteed -65°F nightime lows, and -40°F afternoon ‘Highest’ temperatures.
:
Note: In the mid 1960s, I worked in those conditions, just north of the confluence of Pinto Creek, and the Wild Hay River. It is about halfway between Hinton, Alberta, and Fox Creek, Alberta – there are no Provincial Highways, just a network of Forestry Trails, Lumber Company Roads, and Energy Company wellsite access roads. Our Survy Hack, a 5 year old Ford F-250 burned 2 to 4 quarts of engine oil per day, which is probably why it kept on starting every morning (the pistons were so loose they probably swapped cylinders to keep warm during startup, lots of rattles)… Grin.

Come on down, DT! Let’s make this thing a party that will make the race/camp/drink/cruise/hoochiekoo that is Race Week look tame. We’ve got a lot to celebrate!
Oh, and leave those stone-cold bitches crying and screaming at each other in stone-cold DC.
That sounds pretty cool.
I’m sure that even if the Libtards DO manage to gather enough Million Moms to try to disrupt the inauguration, I’m sure there will be enough conservatives there on alert (armed with innocent looking canes and walking sticks) to give the Libtards a presidential-class beatdown.
The “unfortnate” possibilities of that are endless. 🙂
Misspelling intentional.
My wife and I, and another couple are flying to Jamaica from Reagan airport that morning… Please don’t wish for too much weather. Our friends are getting married on that trip… Back many many months ago when I booked it it seemed like a good day to leave the country…
From what I’ve read, that’s not the only group planning on attempting to disrupt the swearing in ceremony. Clearly, they do not realize that if they get too rowdy, the principles and DC elites will simply adjourn to the rotunda of the capitol building and swear Mr. Trump in there. Something of an inconvenience but, all in all, not a very big deal. Of course it WILL be a big deal for those who traveled and spent serious bucks to room in DC or Baltimore.
If the ones who are throwing the temper tantrum get too rowdy, one could hope the authorities would use water cannons to break it up. That would be a right pleasure to watch!
Especially in cold weather!!! 🙂
To paraquote one of the hippie’s own talking points, “what if they gave a march (protest), and nobody came?”
I remember a couple of inaugurations where the army engineers used jackhammers to remove the ice on the parade route.
Instead of a time-out, maybe the sheriff ought to come in and give Skye a sound spanking…
*snicker snort*
They do have a “comfort pet.”
A little bit of Tabasco.
Though who the comfort would be for is in question.
Like Skye would give Tabasco a scritchie under his chin…
I’d pay good money to see that…
That soldering job required a big ‘ol American Beauty.
Yeah, no such thing as a “bumper” anymore. At least not on anything less than a full pickup. 🙁
(BTW, WTF thought it was safer to have a bit that crumples at 5mph, than one that withstands 30mph? Seriously?)
The idea was to make a bumper that would not incur significant damage in a low speed collision so as to reduce the likelihood of insurance companies having to pay out. Additionally, there was also a desire to remove the battering-ram-like bumpers of existing cars. With a 30 MPH bumper such as you describe, side impact collisions were frequently lethal.
Basic physics. If the car hits something and stops suddenly, the passengers also stop suddenly. If your head hits the windshield at 30mph or your chest hits a rigid steering column at 30mph, it’s likely to be fatal. Even 10mph might put you in the hospital. A bumper that gives and slows the car to a stop over several feet helps protect the passengers.
However, the safety experts appear to have forgotten to coordinate this with the other safety improvements they introduced at about the same time: seatbelts, collapsing steering columns, and airbags. You can’t be impaled on the steering column anymore, and your face meets glass only if you didn’t bother to fasten your seatbelt _and_ the airbag fails. A bumper that didn’t give at 30 could seriously injure you when you slam into the restraints, but I think one that wasn’t damaged at 10mph would be safe enough.
Briefly changing topics here . . . just what the heck are those designs on Sam’s dress? Yesterday, I thought they were red hot chili peppers. In frame one today it looks like a vine with some sort of blossom here and there. But in the second to the last frame I decided they look a whole lot like shoes. All the better for giving the Progs the boot . . .
Ducks? With shadows? Dunno. Maybe when I take some of my serious pai killers they’ll make more sense.
M R Ducks. M R Not Ducks. O S M R 2 Ducks!
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Also, this is a new pattern. The old one that we have seen many times in different colors and on different sexy little sundresses, etc. are decidedly spermatozoidal…make of that (and the ducks for that matter) what you will.
Whale oil beef hooked, JTC… I haven’t heard that in years!!
Right WayneM, what ever happened to WayneR of M R 2 Waynes fame? (Your gentle jibe was not in wain, I mean vain.) 🙂
I used to work with a guy who had this on his wall:
Oci bene, si ergo
Fortibus es in ero
Nos es bene, demis trux
Sewatis inum? Cowsendux.
O A B, C D Puppies? L, M N O Puppies.
Million Moms? My first thought was to change that to “Million Ninnies.” Then I hit on what I think fits:
Million Me Mes
Pops
Instead of soldering her retainer to the bumper, she should have soldered her mouth shut. Good start, tho.
As I watch the left in action I am reflecting yet again on the realization of why so many of the masses are against gun ownership.
They know what they do, and project the same onto every one else while lacking the knowledge of what the Second Amendment is all about.
Lessee… Mere Alberta High Plains in January weather is mild, compared to the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains weather, in January.
One -65°F nighttime temperature week {7 full days} ordered, to be shipped to Washington, DC, USA: Arrival date at 0001hrs January 17, 2017. Guaranteed -65°F nightime lows, and -40°F afternoon ‘Highest’ temperatures.
:
Note: In the mid 1960s, I worked in those conditions, just north of the confluence of Pinto Creek, and the Wild Hay River. It is about halfway between Hinton, Alberta, and Fox Creek, Alberta – there are no Provincial Highways, just a network of Forestry Trails, Lumber Company Roads, and Energy Company wellsite access roads. Our Survy Hack, a 5 year old Ford F-250 burned 2 to 4 quarts of engine oil per day, which is probably why it kept on starting every morning (the pistons were so loose they probably swapped cylinders to keep warm during startup, lots of rattles)… Grin.
Ah. A flashback to Chicago, Winter of ’78-’79. No January thaw; temp went far south and for six weeks didn’t get up to 0; minus 80 wind chills were the norm at NAS Glenview; 108.5″ of snow where the average accumulation is 40″. DC would die . . .
When is Skye going to point out that’s she’s acting no more “butthurt” than Sam and Zed did in 2008 and 2012 when their boogeyman won?
I mean, Christ, Zed spent how many strips raving that this was all misandrist WOMEN’S fault in 2012? Sounds a lot like Skye being all teary about misogynist MEN robbing the election
Splain’n your own joke never works.
I.e. : An 80 year old walks into the Worksource office….
The comment about her retainer reminded me of Sam working on her car. I miss those scripts. She needs to get another classic muscle car to tend to.
Right now Sam’s too busy working to keep the DDQ afloat.
Was that before or after he threatened to move to Costa Rica, enjoined the EC to commit corruption and treason and followed the radical conservative media’s call to marched on DC? Oh wait, none of that happened…
Dang it that was in reply to Lance Dickey of course…
I wonder if his last name is Boyle?
So, where the heck are these women? Sam and Skye,I mean…they’re just randomly walking around the ranch and sitting in the dirt?
I mean, that seems pretty uncomfortable to me. Isn’t a front porch swing much better than the hard ground..not that it will make a difference, Skye won’t listen anyway.
Random thought.
OH, by the way, if they have a Million Mom or Feminist or whatever march, who will make the sammiches?
pajama boys
Heh
I like the idea of pajama boys serving them. It would be the perfect punishment for being a pansy. I live near a hiking and biking trail. The folks who use that trail occasionally stop at the local market. They get very angry at the owner for not being able to read their minds as to what kind of crazy diet they are on. The people who use the trail are city people who sneer at us locals. We call them citidiots.
A Million Pajama Boys! That’ll work!
Pajama Boys is just SO WRONG every which way from Sunday.
Men need to be nekkid at night. Sheesh.
🙂
EXCELLENT writing, Chris. Makes the point firmly, yet gently. And it has cleavage! 😉

Hmmmm… Asians, blacks, women… Even a civil rights leader…
Yeah, Trump is a racist, sexist, etc.
What again are these hundred or so moms going to be protesting? I’ve lost track of all of the micro-outrages.
As LOAO at the eloi it is well to keep an eye on the morlocks for what remains of their reign…

Wonder what mischief they want to get into in the next two months that they don’t want Trump’s new security guy to be in on?
Good reference, and good relation;
“Time Machine” great movie… 1st one, 2nd ok too.
As *we* laugh our asses off…quit trying to use trendy acronyms and start proofing your drivel, JTC.
I think the 49ers morale is down, Kaepernick`s been sacked at least
4 times already;
Another thought, Hillary`s popular vote is now supposedly 1 1/2 million,
all the illegals, and dead voters Soros can buy.
“I’m crying! I’m shaking! Trump!”
On this topic… I stopped watching Saturday Night Live decades ago, after the Eddie Murphy years, but I came across this clip by other means, and thought it was a marvelous change from their usual liberal pablum:

(Also, it might have been even cooler if Sam’s final response had been, “Can’t we all just Move On?”)
Doesn’t that normally happen when someone goes through withdrawal?
Sometimes we forget and need to be reminded why things were written the way they were written:
