Stop in for a cup of coffee

Looks cool but that's gonna be a b*tch to aircool! :poke:

When I first moved here I rented a parking spot for the Barracuda in a parking garage on the other side of the river. There was a guy there there with a rotary engine in Beetle. The one big issue he was having with it was - you guessed it - cooling.

I hope I wasn't the one who put that there, but I did have a housemate at one time that drank that brand coffee...

Pan doesn't look that bad all considering.

When I sold it I reported to DMV it was sold out of state. Well Dave never transferred title. Now they want a letter from Pennsylvania' stating car was nev e r registered there.
:mad:
I've had a couple friends, er aquaintances, do that in Pennsylvania. drives me nuts. In NJ it was never an issue, sold it, signed it, and whomever bought it registered it (title) right away. Didn't need to be running or insured to have titled changed. It's a property title that's it. Grrrrrrrrrr.
 
Ok there was a gal at work who got a call from the police about 'her car'. Apparently the guy she sold it to didn't register it - and the cops found the car at the bottom of a cliff (prob a quarry site).
 
Just was watching weather channel. I guess they’re taking some big hydro electric dam offline today due to the drought. Supposedly will result in rolling blackouts for “tens of thousands of house and businesses in So Cal”
That has already been happening....:poke:
We had three to four outages in a 12 hour period.
 
Ahhhh. Lake Oroville. 4 years ago they almost lost that dam and countless residents below. Drought or not they kept the water level low on purpose for 2 years so repairs could be made. Never had a chance to gain any water since. I wanted to be on that job so bad. Told my union business agent if that Operating Engineer local called looking for a concrete plant operator I would come out of retirement gladly :lol: The IRS would have got a boost out of it too :rofl:
Up here we don't have hydroelectric, we have collapsing.:lol:
 
Transmission is done! shift points are higher and shifts harder than before. I have kickdown adjusted correctly. Nature of the beast, with shift kit and new modulator valve.
 
I think @MOPARMITCH might have competition for 'Garage Mehal'. LOL
A a maintenance guy, this is kinda like when you ask a woman what kind of car she has and she says "a blue one". :rofl:
I was more interested in like what brand/product. I guess any quality 2 part polyurethane is going to be good. Putting the clear on is going to lock in the flake. Could get slippery... How thick is the total buildup supposed to be?
Not much build up. Heck the guy said I can put a wax on it when I'm done. I asked if it would be slippery and he said the flakes is what gives it grip.
 
That one over there by Phelan? I thought they were workin' on that one already.
Yes, but that turned out to do nothing, during those quakes two years ago, many people evacuated because they didn't trust it.
"there's one in Hesperia that is collapsing too.
Its all screwed up

Shortly before the family moved back to Barstow in '68 I went to visit my bestest bud during Easter vacation. Ya know how wide the river bed is there right there by the Santa Fe switch yard next to west side of town? My buddy lived on the opposite side down in the low lands. We had a very wet winter that year and the mighty Mojave River had come within 40' of their back fence. It had receded some by the time I got there, but it was great fun shooting the passing debris in the river with the BB guns :lol:. Silverwood Lake was under construction at the time I think. At it's high point river had to be a mile wide or better.
 
One river in winnipeg is so low you could walk across. Crazy.
Here we have hydroelectric dams, upstream and downstream. They keep water at a fixed level. So far anyway.

They were all probably built in the 60s and 70s, they're 50 years old :eek:.
I learned long ago in construction, there is nothing that man can put up that Mother Nature can't tear down.

I figured as much
 
So I officially got the job today. Not a big difference in money. Most extra money will come from only driving 16 miles a day round trip to work and back vs 136 round trip. That and job security in the short term.

I’d mentioned feeling overwhelmed a few weeks back. Well I was seeing and reading between the lines about the current job’s security. After a long discussion this evening with my current boss, it seems those feelings and predictions are not only justified but close to coming to a head. So as of now, this appears to have been the best move I could have made
