They just set up the hilliard DUI checkpoint at britton/cemetery. Traffic is all gridlocked and fucked there now. They'll be watching this weekend for sure, I bet at least one CR member gets caught.

Last time I sent a firearm in for warranty work, they sent me an overnight label to stick on the box, I dropped it off at UPS/Fedex, and it was returned to my doorstep a week later NO CHARGE. Some manuf's make you ship it to them on your dime, have to overnight a pistola, but usually they send it back in perfect shape no questions asked. Sometimes you'll even find a surprise magazine or something else worn/broken got replaced, or updated with revised parts too.

Easy way to check even for a newb, take a long level (or something with a straigh edge) to the basement, hold vertically (like ceiling to floor) and see if the wall is straight. Is very easy to tell if the wall is bowed, will show clearance at one end of the level when held flat against the wall. If I had to guess, I'd say the drainage away from the foundation isn't good enough.

Oh, and just in case you're ever planning on becoming a homeowner, look at the interest on your standard 30-year mortgage lol.

:thumbup: That's the way to go if you're able to.

Hmm... join the service, get cheap education? OR live like a hobo for 2 years, pay off student loans? OR don't go to college, choose career where degree is not required? Education is great, but this american big-business university atmosphere can die in a fire.

Maybe you should put a camera on the road, send screen caps to local law enforcement? OR, if it's getting in your yard get records from BMW and sue all for expenses incurred to clean up their refuse lol

I'll take the teknic back protector if it fits me. You be at C&C this Saturday?

My B5 had the service1 or service 2 indicator? Was a long time ago... I remember it being pretty easy to clear, if that's what you're wanting. I'm sure a 10k mile oil change works on some engines under some conditions using some oils for some people. Wait, what was the question? False

If I'm not out of town this weekend, I'd like to come check it out. I'll PM you later today.

I had an old 4-1 that seriously just had an endplate cut to fit in the megaphone part, with essentially two open-ended tubes welded together at an offset one of which exited through the endplate. Quieted it down immensely, and was very quick to remove- just pull the setscrew and pull out the back. Paint your color of choice with hi-temp and it can look pretty factory.

I do like that color, I'm glad that with all the CR folk buying those we haven't heard about trans failures yet.

In regards to the build up in the system- my old system that was about as old as I am had no buildup whatsoever in the main pipes. At least where we cut there was nothing, although I can't say if there wasn't build up somewhere else in the system. I'll be interested to hear if you had buildup in yours when you remove it.

You'd think killing yourself would be easy, but he managed to cock it up.

Whoa $20k seems like an awful lot! I'll verify with my dad what he paid when he replaced it, but i know he got a pretty decent chunk off as some sort of efficiency credit or writeoff. That being said a solar panel installation is its own set of headaches and hurtles. Even out in the country.

My last house had a very early total loss geothermal system from the 1983? Pumped from our well, dumped into the sewer. It was still working as of 2013 when my dad removed it for a newer much more efficient system. That said, our heating bills for an 1800sqft 1960 house was always under $200, kept it at 66 degrees. The heater vents saw air about 105 degrees F with JUST the geothermal, and 115 with the electric coils on. The newer variable pump systems are crazy efficient, my dad saw almost a 50% reduction in month-to-month cost, and his air outlet temp is over 110 with just the geothermal, no electric. Also, recirculates the waste through the hot water tank so that almost never comes on. Geothermal is where it's at. I could go on and on haha. Oops my bad, our house was ALL electric, so those bills are for everything. Not sure if you have any gas.

You need to use treated lumber for the floor, absolutely. If you don't want to put it on gravel at least level on blocks so it's not sitting on the ground. A wood shed on the ground will rot the floor out in a couple years at best in Ohio. BTDT

Not sure off the top of my head, but tying into existing structure is likely a permit and inspection.

Looking into the same thing myself. Pouring concrete makes it a permanent structure, and apparently causes some additional headaches? My neighbors seem to do a shallow gravel bed instead. I was just going to use a battery powered light for mine to avoid having to run electricity. I know a lot of things that are "permanently hardwired" need a permit.

Very nice, congrats. Saw that car there recently, looked good.

I'm with ya man, just don't get it. Remember the days before pistols were ergonomic? I'd guess a lot of the civvies want them for max fanboi points more than anything else.

I still need to find an ultralight locally, but maybe in 10 years when these are mainstream and coming down in price a little... Very cool. It's past due.

Cool pics man. Let's see how it groups next to a regular minty garand

Impressive. And retarded. Surprised the wheels could handle the stress and the tires didn't pop.

Last I checked with the BMW you had to show evidence of maintaining it to get a title, or have someone swear an affidavit it's yours or something dumb like that. That was about 4 years ago. Trying to get a street title was much much harder.
