I teach at a career center. I was talking about students who graduate and enlist.

I teach high school. I've had a few students head off to the military after school. A few of them have come back to visit and the change is nothing short of incredible.

Just to toss out another idea, you might get ahold of Barleys Smokehouse in Grandview. They have a meeting room there, I don't know any details for reserving it though. Might be a more central location, and not far off 670 for easy access.

I'm not looking, but Carol is. Depending on the details we might be there.

Not me, but Carol had her ACL replaced and meniscus repaired in the spring. She's doing great, but it's sucked. After the surgery, she had the ice machine cooler combo with a big gizmo that moved her knee for her. I they told her to use it 8 hours a day to keep the knee from tightening up. I think she made a good call when she slept with it on. I think she used it about 20 hours a day. They had her on pain killers every 4 hours for a week. I got her on a 2, 6, 10 schedule, so the only crappy time slot was waking up for her 2am pill. After the surgery though she walked under her own power into the house with a walker and a knee brace. She had the brace off in 4 - 6 weeks. PT 2 to 3 times a week. They even had her do PT before the surgery to help keep things from getting worse. If you are looking for recommendations she had hers done by Dr. Robles(sp?) down at Grant. You'll be on the couch a bunch, a free 30 days of Netflix would be your friend.

Ignore the haters. They are as jealous as the rest of us. For most of us, myself included running 1/8th mile isn't that interesting because my car isn't fast enough to do anything fun in the 1/8th. Hell, I could run a 1 mile event and not go as fast as you are in the 1/8th.

I had Doctor Flu out to check mine out this summer. VERY professional, inspected the chimney, told me it did not need cleaned. They even spotted another hole in my roof after the end of June storms and patched it for me. I did buy a custom stainless chimney cap. It was a little pricey, but since my chimney arrangement is odd a regular cap would not have worked. I would recommend them if you decide not to go with Whempys.

In and paid.

Doubt it will happen, but as far as I'm concerned they can tow the car right back and put it back in the spot they stole it from.

Actually this just got me thinking. I know IPSs dyno pegs at 1500 after seeing the dyno sheets from tuning Marks car. What dyno will read past the 2000 point? Anyhow, even if I did see the dyno sheet I probably would not believe it at this point because with photoshop I can have a 3,000 HP car if I want.

I understand what you mean about not cutting up the car. But, I look at it from the point of view that I am adding a feature that should have been included from the factory. We've had to get into and out of mine several times since I've owned the car. It made me glad the previous owner cut the access and I didn't have to make the decision.

It was my first year teaching. I was barely beginning to even understand what I was doing as a teacher. The director came over the PA system and announced that a plane had hit the world trade center. My immediate thought was a small private pilot had screwed up. Then we started to hear more information. Since I've never had a TV in my lab we went to the cafeteria and watched for a while. We to saw the second plane hit. My students were pretty freaked out. For one of my guys it was his 18th birthday.

+1 for Southern Tier's Pumking.

I don't get it. What is the problem? You can't tell time?

I'm not going to disagree with you. Everyone is moving to turbos for a reason. But for my goals (fun street car that is also fun at the track) a blower is also appropriate. The key for me is price. Also, since I already have a full exhaust on my car the though of tearing it all apart and redoing everything for a turbo in contrast to bolting on a blower doesn't make sense to me.

Okay, I think I've finally settled on the next purchase for my money pit LT1. I'm in the market for a less expensive than new Procharger. For those that don't know me, the car is an LT1 Camaro with a 383 stroker. Now that the drive line is set up to handle some power I want more. From the research I have done I would like to skip the 6 rib setups and jump straight to an 8 rib, but if I can get the 6 rib for a good price I'll probably take it. My questions are more about the clocking of the blower and the directional rotation. What do I need to be looking for in a head unit? If I can't find a complete used kit, I may try fabbing the bracket assembly myself, but the head unit is obviously the key component. What is it I still need to know about these?

I have a friend who may be interested. Is this a sedan or a wagon?

Congrats Scott. It's nice to achieve goals. Another year or two and I'll qualify for my principals license even though I doubt I'll ever make the jump to administration. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is fine by me regardless of what others think. It sounds like the certs are more respected outside the industry than inside it. ASE needs to find a way to fix that. If their own techs are choosing to let their certs expire rather than renew them, that is a big problem down the road.

Leaving in a few. Will be good to finally make it back out.

HOLY CRAP!

Great little video. My childhood would not have been the same without LEGO.

A buddy of mine bought a car for cheap with a warped head. We threw it on a belt sander and reinstalled it. It's still driving today. Is it the "right" way to fix it, no. But the head was already warped, what's to loose if it doesn't work?

If you're going to gamble leave your ATM card in the hotel room. Take as much cash as you're willing to loose and nothing more. I was there a few years back with some friends and decided I didn't enjoy loosing at the tables. So I took the money I would have donated to the casinos and bought the nicest pair of sunglasses I've ever owned.

I'm going to have to give this a try. I heard to use diesel fuel, but it's not doing shit.
