I was looking forward to this. If the weather would have cooperated the roofers would have been done a couple days ago. They are still working. I'll be out next time around.

I think I'm leaning with everyone else on this one and put this one on the team. If she had all the NHRA mandated safety gear then the track was correct to clear her to run. NHRA's safety rules cannot cover every possible contingency though. We as racers have to accept some responsibility for our choices. Sounds like she thinks that a drive line tunnel should be mandated at that level instead of just two loops. The article states it's not an expensive modification. If that's the case why didn't she do it herself even though it's not mandated. The reason why is that neither she nor NHRA thought that would happen. She didn't foresee this happening, but she's sueing NHRA because they didn't either? I'm assuming this is not a common event, has anything like this ever happened at that level before? Maybe it's time for a rule change. If this has happened before then maybe the rules should have been changed and her suit has some merit. NHRA strikes me as being pretty reactionary and not making rules until there is a reason for the rule.

Other than little stuff it's hard to tell. I just cruised through their facebook page and they have a lot of car pictures, but nothing I can tell that is a performance upgrade. I didn't look that close though so I might have missed something.

I hadn't taken the time to look this up, but I assumed their bandwidth was pretty choked. It's not like you can plug the rover into a Roadrunner connection. Between the data involved, and the super low power consumption requirement I can't see much point in super high res pictures. We have a lot of pictures from the surface, I figured they would be more about the mineral analysis of the soil.

I can't imagine having balls that clank.

HPs have always treated me well. Sure I've had problems, but nothing I wouldn't expect from any other brand of laptop. We picked up a referbed laptop for my girlfriends son to take to college this fall at Microcenter. Quad core AMD CPU with 6 gigs of RAM for around $380. It's a referb, but I would rather buy them that way than new.

We know, we know. You're much more excited about NASA exploring Uranus. Give them a couple more years and they will launch that probe and you will get the satisfaction you are yearning for.

My question was more about how much was the camera and how much was the photographer. I've seen the quality of your work cleaning up images. I used to have fun with my old SLR camera back in college. I've been tempted to pick up a DSLR but wasn't sure if I really wanted that much of a camera, or if a point a shoot would be a better choice. Based on the shots you've shown here and the description of the camera that might be just the thing I'm looking for.

Any post processing on those cave shots beyond adding the watermark? Or are those as is, straight from the camera?

Nice cars. There are quite a few LS1tech guys on here including LT1 guys like me. Welcome.

I friend hosted a dinner one evening and served home made bacon ice cream for desert. Holy shit was it good.

Actually it's out of a 95 Z28. It came out of my Camaro when we swapped in the RPM trans. I wanted to swap it while the old one was still good rather than bust it and then swap. It shifted fine and I had no complaints with it when we removed it. The clutch setup on the LT1 model is an external slave cylinder, I don't think it was bad to deal with. If you convert it to an LS1 style I assume you have to convert it to an internal slave. When we built the new motor and reinstalled everything the trans did not want to shift into reverse easily, but once the clutch hydraulics bleed themselves it shifted great. I just had to drive it and work the clutch for a few days. BTW, this trans was in the car for a few track days, but it has never had anything other than a stock clutch in it, so it's never seen launches any harder than what a stock clutch could handle. Good luck with the sale, I hope I don't end up regretting letting it go.

I need to get back on the wagon. I lost 35 pounds last year just by cutting back on snacks and sugar, and cutting back to reasonable sized portions for meals. Grad school has been kicking my ass for a month and food (especially sugar) helps me focus and concentrate. The diet went out the window and I'm probably back up 5 pounds from the shear volume of junk I have eaten in the last 5 weeks. But grad school is all but done, so time to get back to the diet. I'd like to loose another 30 pounds this year, that would put me at 170.

Looks like I'm qualified then, good to know I'll have a backup plan.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know. Before you make any decisions on whether to fix your beater or trade it (for something completely unknown) at least diagnose what the problem is. Then you can make an intelligent decision on whether to fix it or replace it.

Nice cars. Welcome.

I'm not sure what you consider high dollar. I paid around $300 the last time I used one (6 or 7 years ago). He was worth every penny (saved us a boat load). When you think about the costs involved with a house a few hundred dollars can save you tens of thousands.

You forgot they are all 14 or 15 years old. At least they look that way. No thanks, give me a nice cougar MILF any day.

Good for her ... not good for me with that mental image now, but good for her.

Putting some weight in the back on a full time basis might not be a bad idea for when the weather turns bad. That could offset the lift from new springs.

Fuck it, click the link.

:fuckyeah:

Any idea what the draft is on this boat. I have a friend looking for something like this. He just bought a place on Indian lake and his boats he had down on the Ohio river are too big and sit too low in the water for Indian lake.

How much more capacity? I went with a high pressure, but standard volume pump with my build because of the stock pan. Does squaring the pan give you enough additional capacity to keep from sucking it dry with a high volume pump?

Finished project? Projects get finished? Mine always morph into something new, the further I get the more the goal changes. Sorry I haven't been around much to help out on this one Clay, glad to see that progress is happening. You've made more progress on this project than all my summer projects combined.
