Big Block Better Burnout
I love old bikes! I had a 1976 Honda CR125M Elsinore with a Webco head and aftermarket expansion chamber. I used to motocross a LONG time ago. Silver and red. It NEVER broke and was still awesome when I sold it.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Thought I did a major oops yesterday... Gonna move the 'office' area from the basement , up to what was my son's room. So, that means moving the computer. It is a few years old and still wired. I could just run the wire up from the DSL modem, but decided to get the modem on a direct run from the service box with cat5. First thing was to get access for that by drilling through the brick face near the wires. This of course comes in above the only area of the basement with a finished drywall ceiling. Cut a hole in that, but there is a second floor joist very close and of course they did not line up the holes and I had to get through the whole thing. I was near certain there was nothing else in the space, so used a long drilland tried to go straight through. Came out with copper wire that looked like 12-14ga wrapped around the drill. That was an "Oh Fk!' moment. Ran in and killed the power and ripped out a bigger chunk of drywall,...till I figured out it was an abandoned ground wire.... Crisis averted.
Easy, some of us are at work 
As a retired Phone/internet/network installer, I could tell you stories about "just drilled a little hole in...."

Anybody know much about wiring for DSL? We have very slow internet. Trying to squeeze as much speed out of it as possible. Going to run cat5 wired direct to the phone box outside and 'RJ' (11 I think) plug crimped on end to the modem. How much loss is there from line length? I would like to have the modem and wireless boxes upstairs. To do that its probably a 30 ft run. I could mount the DSL downstairs and then Ethernet to the wireless upstairs. That would make the initial run about 15 ft. Wondering if that 15 ft shorter is enough to gain anything.
You guys have Facebook and can you see this video. A old customer of mine did it.

Current wiring is probably 100+ ft of phone wire. With multiple connections along the way. I know its bugged together at least one point and and screw terminations as it jumps from jack to jack. After I destroyed the wires coming through the mortar, I jumped it temporarily with a piece of bell wire. Actually faster today, LOL
Oops, sorry. It works for me but it's my email... Anyway it is my Great-uncle's recollections of the Pearl Harbor attack. He was helping break horses at the Marines stables when the strafing started, the sergeant issued rifles and they all ran into the corn field to shoot at the planes coming in to destroy the hangars, and then they were all putting out the fires. It was a difficult story to tell. Uncle Harry stayed in the Navy 20 years then got his degree and taught school in Jacksonville for many years, and died at age 85. I remember him as a quiet man. He helped me decorate the hall for my sister's wedding.
I know everything you need to know about DSL.
So for best DSL speed, you want a home run. A Cat5 wire that goes from the MPOE, minimum point of entry. AKA "side of the house" You want a whole house DSL filter. I can send you one for nothing if you need. is a good video.

At work now so will watch vid later...Yes please on the filter! Will pm my addy. Saw them mentioned in some searching around the web of misinformation....
What a day. Did almost nothing. Unloaded my two totes of pellets and stowed them. Glad the forklift started.
My portabe shelter front cover was flappin in the wind, finally fixed it. This is a 24x40 so its a big piece on the end. About an hour on the ladder. Been quiet here in the coffee shop. Actually i could use one. Totally forgot about coffee this afternoon.
