The Water Cooler / Re: Anyone around Dover TN?
« Last post by Rubes on September 11, 2024, 05:05:18 PM »
that would be a  heck of a commute, Dover and Louden are 4 hours apart:hammer: LOL
just looking for general quality of life type things, or "its a nice place to visit but you don't wanna live here" kind of thing.
Regardless, I will eventually have to contact an agent there and can get some info that way. I just always think they will tell you its shangrila just to sell you something.

We've got a branch office that does a lot of work in a plant in Louden.  I'm not sure where the engineer that works in that office is actually located but if you want I can check and see if he could help you.

The Water Cooler / Anyone around Dover TN?
« Last post by Rubes on September 11, 2024, 12:19:23 PM »
Im looking to relocate, now  that I'm retired,  from Chicago to Tennessee and the Dover area is looking good to me. Was in Nashville this weekend for a car event so took a drive thru Dover and surrounding areas and liked what I saw.
Anyone have experience with the area?

I've tested Brave browser in W10 (new versions don't work in W7 anymore), as it works well in blocking youtube ads.

It has an option to block autoplay on sites, but it doesn't seem to work on youtube:

brave://settings/content/autoplay

or by navigating to Settings -> Privacy and security -> Site and Shield settings -> Additional permissions -> Autoplay

One way that appears to work without any extension(s), is to sign in to youtube. That way it remembers users history/settings as long as the browser's history is cleared, I guess.

Even when the browser is closed and opened again, user is signed in. Don't know how long that 'session' lasts, though. Maybe there are other related settings, either on youtube or in the browser for that.

Hi folks,

On the Holbrook, I set up a double pulley on the motor to give two speeds from the motor, which restores all of the Holbrooks 12 speeds, I get the motor mounting plate sorted, and set up a sliding system in order to select the two pulley positions, and basically, it is all falling into place. A visit to Haxby shed to meet Paul on his home ground, some biographical notes, and a look round his very clean and tidy workshop, which is filled with some classic machine tools!

Hi Russ it's a Pembleton T24 cyclecar, comes under light quadracycle class as well.   Meaning very lightweight, no roll bar etc.   A very accurate representation of a 20's car but with full independent suspension and front wheel drive. 744cc air cooled twin up front and the car weights 361kg dry.  It gets to 60mph pretty quick, with a top speed I don't care to find out.

Very nice...

What is it...

My dream came true middle of last month.   Last chance to ever do anything like this, wife and me chipped in for a bit of slow touring.  Needless to say it has distracted me from other activities other than a bit of work for a few extras and petrol.

Just taking neighbour for a spin round the block.
