Sorry to hear about that man, that really sucks. At least they figured out what it is though. I hope she's back to normal quickly. You're normally helping people out on CR, is there anything we can help out with? If you want I can grab some takeout and drop it by the hospital so you don't have to leave (and don't have to eat cafeteria food).

I'd say the kid she assaulted while he was sitting down, and then she came back and got in his face screaming at him to hit her ... yeah, he had every right. Not sure what kind of punch he could have thrown sitting down with her leaning over in his face. She was close enough though that a nice head butt would have probably broken her nose. I've taught college classes and I have to say I'm glad I've never been in the position that this class was in. As the instructor I probably would have tried to kick her out of class myself. That probably would have been a mistake because she was not going to leave without someone getting hurt. Perfect time for campus security, let them handle it and then call the cops to arrest her.

Reseating the RAM is not a bad idea before going out and buying new. Also I have seen a problem with RAM slots on the motherboard (sticks tested good one at a time). If you want to be thorough I would test each stick individually, and then test the slots by moving one slot at a time with one known good (tested good) stick.

Yeah, that is real stupidity, not fake.

The detailing work looks great. I need the kind of help with the Camaro.

I too have had cars come and go. Some I was glad to see them go, others I regret selling and would consider buying them back if the opportunity arose. The '94 Impala SS was probably the first car I ever fell in love with. I remember first seeing a picture of it in my dads Popular Mechanics. GM took out a 2 page spread in the center of the mag. About the closest thing to a centerfold you're going to find in Popular Mechanics. The add was a blue sunburst background with the text, "Lord Vader, your car is ready". When I bought the car I had to go and track down a print of that add. The Camaro kind of fell into my lap. I bought it from a coworker who wasn't driving it and wanted it gone. I'll keep it till one of us dies. I've got more money invested in it than it will ever be worth, so I may as well. Plans for it continue to evolve, so where it's going from here I don't know.

I suppose if you're starting with a car that's only worth a $1.85 then you may as well hack the shit out of it. It's not like you're going to effect the value at all. If you want a mod that will have a substantial effect on the value, go fill the gas tank. The value of the car will double.

Holy shit that looks evil! Is there any real difference between mounting the turbos up high (in the hood) vs. mounting them down low? The only thing that comes to my mind is the increased possibility of sucking crap from the track into the turbos. Or is there any difference at all?

I'll be there in something. Either the Tundra or the Camaro.

Carol is out of town tonight, Looks like I will finally make it to either the hangout or Home Depot.

Okay, not much to see when brewing beer, but here you go. This is the nitrogen stout faucet being installed. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=590&pictureid=5919 After the boil is completed the beer has to be cooled before yeast can be pitched. This is the new wort chiller. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=590&pictureid=5920 The Raspberry Red Ale boiling in the kettle. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=590&pictureid=5921 The fermenters. The red ale is on the left and the wheat is on the right. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=590&pictureid=5922

Batch number two is in the fermenter now. This time it's a Raspberry wheat for Carol. I have everything to change the kegorator over to 4 taps, so I need to keep it in gear so we'll have something to tap.

Start with something small if you've not ridden before. There are a select few people who get a big bike as a first and survive the process. Other than that, just get a bike. Start cruising the dealerships and sit on every bike they have. Find one that is comfortable for you. If you don't have your license, register for one of the safe rider courses offered by the state. http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/ If you want to take one this summer, look at the schedule and register for a class as soon as you read this. Registrations opened on 2/6 - and these classes fill up immediately. I'm sure you can still get in one, but will probably be late summer now. Sorry, I may have misread the original post. Are you looking for advice for yourself or him? If you want to start riding the above advice is for you.

Sounds like a blast. Keep us updated.

I rode mine tonight. I would have ridden to work, but the dogs went with me today.

I can force carbonate, I've tried it on a couple kegs. I find the carbonation tends to be not uniform. With root beer I've been hit or miss with force carbonating. Even though we keg our beer we have been using the priming sugar and keg conditioning the beer. Besides the beer always tastes better with an extra week or 3 to condition. My goal is to brew like crazy for the next couple months so I can get ahead and let kegs sit for a few weeks before tapping them. My goal is to have 3 on tap and 3 more on deck waiting at all times. I've got 5 ball lock corney kegs now, I'm going to need a couple more.

You'll have to bring your own vacuum cleaner. You can't use ours.

We've been buying most of our stuff from Midwest. Not free shipping, but their prices are so low that it comes out about even. Next time I'm down that way I plan on checking them out. I'm not a fan of doing mail order in state because then I normally get dinged with shipping and tax.

But that would be illegal :ninja:

Stock valves? Milled how much?

Yeah, I hope I got the sanitation right. Looking back I don't think there is much I could have done differently. I did miss one step (didn't sanitize the pouch of yeast before I opened it), but I don't think that is too bad for my first batch. I have been on that forum before, not spent much time there though. I will probably go ahead and join AHA (American Homebrewers Association). I already joined the local home brew club SODZ (Scioto Olentangy Delaware Zimurgests)

For extract brewing it's not bad. Takes a couple hours, and it makes the house smell incredible. For my couple hours of effort I end up with about 2 cases of craft beer for about $30 or $35. Come on over for a few when it's done. If I get off my ass I can have the Cherry wheat beer kit done around the same time.

My recipe is: 2 gallons of apple cider 1 gallon of apple juice 1/4 cup of brown sugar - Boil that for an hour - Cool, then add 2 quarts of 190, or 3 quarts of 150 proof - Drain into quart mason jars and add a cinnamon stick to each jar - Wait 3 or 4 days at least before drinking My last batch I got about 3 gallons from.

About a year ago my brother in law started brewing. I was buying the kits and having him brew them for me. About a month ago I got the bug and decided to start brewing myself. Tonight when I got home from work I put together a wort chiller from 50' of 3/8" copper. That was the last thing I needed to brew, so I decided no time like the present. 5 gallons of Raspberry red ale ready to drink in about a month. Other than miscellaneous kitchen issues I got sorted out the process went like clock work. I think this summer I may try my hand at all grain brewing. Anyone else here brew?

+1 for Performance. I had them do my intake, valve covers, strut tower brace and brake calipers.
