  1. Did they find Captain Hook? Oh, and I'd kick that things ass. True story.
  2. Yea, I've seen those spool guns. I'm not exactly sure as to their use. I'm assuming its just a constant feed of wire for TIGing? As for schooling, my stepfather was trained in his younger years in Welding, so I'm hoping I could pick up some pointers from him.
  3. Yea, Planned on getting an auto darkening helmet. Also, I can already MIG and stick weld pretty good, IMO. I do that all the time at work. I've just never TIGed before, and it's something I'd like to learn, for personal use/satisfaction.
  4. No, I'm not looking for someone to weld for me. What I'm looking for is a pretty good TIG welder to put in an upcoming detached garage/shop build. I've never tig welded in my life, but I'd like to learn/practice. I figured I'd need a welder at some time in the future, so I might as well go ahead and get a TIG/stick first, and then pick up a decent MIG later on down the line. Since I'm basically ignorant about TIG welders, I figured I'd ask you guys. I won't be doing anything real major with it. The biggest project that I can think of that I'd use it for, is to build an aluminum tilt-bed carhauler in the distant future. I would think that the aluminum would be 3/8" - 5/16" thick, max. for this project. I figured I'd probably need something a little bigger than the typical 'hobbiest' welder, but nothing to heavy duty. So far, this one seems to be a good 'middle of the road' TIG. What do you guys think? Overkill for my needs? Not big enough? Better recommendation? http://www.weldingmart.com/Qstore/custom/Syncro250DXPkg.jpg "The Syncrowave® 250 DX delivers excellent welding performance, control and versatility.

  5. The way it was explained to me was there are actually two levels of reckless op. One being 4 points, the other being 6. I'm not sure what you have to do to earn either of those. I did, however, get my racing ticket knocked down to a 4 point reckless op. Blah...
  6. bought it tonite. I shall try it out in the AM.
  7. Am I the only one who doesn't know WTF 'etching' a circuit board is? Time to visit my friend, Google.
  8. Sam doesn't get invited to orgies. Orgies get invited to Sam.
  9. I haven't found the button yet. Negative. I'm proof.
  10. Weather.com says rain in the AM, but clearing for the evening. So, what's going on?
  11. Well, that's what I get for not actually pulling in and looking. I just drove down main st, didn't see any cars worth while in the hooters parking lot, and continued on. Didn't see anything interesting at schottenstein's either. And yes, I finally got the car out.
  12. Damn, I wish I'd have known you guys were out. I drove all over hell's creation looking for some cars to play with. I passed hooters around 10pm, no cars there. So I drove all the way up to polaris looking for people, with no luck. ah well.
  13. did you sell the K5? Also, did you buy this from ASK off Brice road on Saturday?
  14. That thing's been for sale forever. The original price was $125,000.
  15. Agreed. I really don't see a need for partys. I could be wrong though.
  16. Damn near every one of these politicians is crooked. It seems that every single one of them votes for their party. Republicans vote yes, Democrats vote no. The only people I've seen vote the other way were three democrats who voted yes. Nelso, Johnson, and Byrd. Why is it that they have to do this? Is there not a single honest person in this nations legislature, save for those 3 democrats? It seems that every one of them votes based on whether he will help their party or not. And not based on whether he's qualified for the job. :bs: Any thoughts on this?
  17. I think there's 48. Atleast that's what it said on the isohunt.com site.
  18. I would agree. The corvette folks have no more right to drive like an ass than the ricers do. Besides, everyone knows corvettes can't even turn the tires over.
  19. Well, I've finally got some sort of broadband connection. My neighbor ended up getting satellite internet, and he just happens to be using wireless connections.... Anyways, here's the story. I can never seem to get these things to work. I did a search and found a small bit of info. So far, I've downloaded ABC (another bit torrent client). I then went to isohunt.com and found the torrent I wanted, and downloaded it, which took all of .5 sec. I then took that file that I downloaded, and put it into the ABC program. I showed up on the list of things to download, but it never seems to download anything. It's still at 0.0%??? Even after sitting all nite long. How the hell do you make this thing work? Also, what the heck is a 'seed' or 'peer'???
  20. Eh, I guess that's true. There is one guy on Corvetteforum though that's really surprised me with his setup. He's running a convertable C5. He had his motor forged, stock auto tranny built, strapped on a PTS twin turbo kit, did his own tuning with the stock computer for his first time, and has since busted out a mid 9. I think he was only running DR's too. ^^That's the kind of car I want.^^ minus the whole auto tranny thing. They take all the fun out of it. IMO
