here is the moon, mars and the ISS streaking by from the shots of the day website at Nasa. http://cofba.org/users/gillbot/moonmars_iss.jpg

I think one of my wheels has some damage and is leaking air on my festiva so it needs replaced. I figure i might as well look for a set of 4 so i can clean them up and paint them or something. let me know what you have!

I rarely post there or here because of all the drama. O-well, not my thing.

thanks, too bad I don't have 220 in the garage. Stupid rental......

yeah, it's been out a while but slow rolling out for wide coverage.

115 or 230v?

Yep, about a month or so abg. They talked about it on Bob & Tom. They said the majority preferred the lower alcohol content and that's where it used to be before they raised it. Now they are returning it to where it should be.

Thanks Alex!!

I think they are 28.8# but IIRC there are a few years here and there that got 26.4#. I just don't remember which year got the lower ones.

one sold, two to go!

I got a 1909 VDB from a candy store when I was a kid. Still got it today.

I always scan my change for findings. I've gottem many $2 bills from '76 and a few other things.

Sams club or tirerack.

I race at norwalk pretty much exclusively.

I went at it again. Gooped it up REAL good and it looks like hell but it's holding for now. I even hit it with a hammer this time!!! I can say for sure if it leaks or not but as long as I get my fail slip from Echeck and my new 30 day tag, I'll worry about quality later! The funny thing is, I ran a few test beads on some spare pipe and they look NICE. It's just welding 2 different thicknesses that is hard because you concentrate the heat on the thicker material to try avoiding burning through the thinner stuff. When you do this too much you don't get a good bead on the thin material, which is what I did. O-well, practice practice!

I'd rather have a Brat myself but that's pretty neat never the less.

I'm gonna give it another shot. I might end up buying a generic cat and just clamping everything together.

Not enough pipe to clamp to. I tried it on a test piece of pipe before I started to weld. I got a good bead on the pipe but the flange I wanted to weld to got NOTHING. Took it for a spin and it popped right off. I was on the verge of blowing through the pipe at the setting I used so I don't think I could go hotter to get it to penetrate the flange withough burning through the pipe.

Spent 4 hours under my beater car welding my homeade exhaust to the cat converter to get ready for echeck. Got a 100 amp AC arc welder on loan from a firend and on the recommendation of a coworker I got some 1/16" 6013 rod. Set the welder to about 65 amps and proceded to weld. The first part seemed to go rather well and I'm thinking "WOW is this EASY!" but as I tried to weld uphill, I blew my first hole. Filled the hole in (or so I thought) and proceded to finish up my weld job after getting the electrode stuck about eleventy gillion times and blowing yet another hole. Looked rather nice when finished so I decided to test it. I shook and rattled that thing as hard as I could and I thought it was SOLID. Not bad for my 1st weld job eh? WRONG! Took the car for a spin and decided to beat on it and really test it out. It got louder all of a sudden. Right away I knew it came loose. Got it home and got back under, not a SINGLE bit of penetration on the converter AT ALL! Back to the drawing board I guess......

Awesome Jay!!!!!

There are alot of them around here. Depends on what you consider close. http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/map-nonpower-reactors.html http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/map-power-reactors.html There's a few commercial plants, any more info can be found here: http://www.nrc.gov/
