We ordered a set of Ronal R-10 Turbos... but the seller flaked and we never got them. They were supposed to arrive the day after my Teddy Wheel post. Waddayagonnado? So, with that out of the way, I have to say that I am getting pretty "not terrible" at making shift gaiters. New Bride gaiter trimmed and installed... We circumcised the reverse lockout ring but it left too much rod exposed under the knob (IF you know what I mean!). I added some "Snake-Skin" to tie the room together... I think the whole thing turned out pretty well (...good? ...well? What is grammatically correct here?)... I have a couple purple knobs and a purple gaiter that I may experiment with. Stay tuned.

Drop the "pretty" and just say "it turned out well". Stick to using "good" as an adjective before, not after. For example, "it turned out to be a good shift boot, irregardless of my skills". 😁 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Use newspeak. Good, then for something ,'double good' and finally for something extremely good there's 'double plus good' Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) New month, new knob! I brought the attaching ring and uncircumcised reverse lockout home... so I can build the purple Bride gaiter. I may have that on there tomorrow. Edited March 2 by dimlight65 1 Quote Link to comment

All was well until you inserted that irregardless mess. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment

I was going by the textbook definition... Quote An adjective is a part of speech that modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjectives usually tell what kind, how many, or which about nouns or pronouns. An adverb is a part of speech that modifies another verb, or an adjective. It is often recognized by the suffix -ly at the end of it. I believe (perhaps falsely?) that in my usage of "good" as a modifier for "shift boot", it is then an adjective. Grammar nazis unite! Edited March 13 by datsunfreak Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 Interesting... and by "interesting" I mean, "SHUT UP NERDS!" Back to me now. I finally got around to taking pictures of the purple Bride gaiter installed... Since I sewed the uncircumcised reverse lockout into this gaiter, I had to run the "carbon fiber" knob instead of the purple one. I think it works and this one doesn't get as hot as the anodized aluminum one did. 1 Quote Link to comment

Another one of those words people use that think it makes them "sound smart". You're right on good being an adjective used that way. 1 Quote Link to comment

Duncan Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 The purple gaiter is hella-good, irregardless. "I lose my mind, and then I loose my keys pretty good sometimes. In retrospect, it's arbitrary." 1 Quote Link to comment

This sentence gave me the heebiest of jeebies. I am eternally thankful I did not read this right before bedtime. 2 Quote Link to comment
