Lol, I’ll settle for round two at Daytona. Is there a place where we can sit around a campfire there?

Old girl showed back up so I’m out trying to trap a snapping turtle. She seems to love strawberries so that’s what I’m using for bait this time instead of liver and chicken gizzards. Also trying it out of the water this time so I had to rig a trip wire on the door.

If I subscribe, will you post more content than your hood and 10ft of water in front of your ski?

How many hours go into one of those?

Honestly, that's still probably more to do with management than union. A poorly managed company coupled with a union most likely results in a poorly run union as well. I worked for one company where the management wrote the contract heavily in their favor and then shopped for a union that would...

It's also really fun to watch useless sacks of chit keep their jobs because the union protects them. I will not work union again, ever.

Close, I started out wiring houses, nothing nearly as glamorous as Nuclear submarines, lol. That's badass! So, residential electrician, industrial electrician/Instrument tech, process control engineer to CNC specialist to now Capital Project Superintendent. I leaned enough IT to get by but...

I had a similar trajectory so I'm a bit jaded when it comes to those who seem to thing they should get everything right out of the gate. I've been doing this for 30 years now and have a pretty solid and diverse range of expertise that is seldom found in a single package. From your comments, I...

The entitlement comment was based on a specific attitude of one of the grads that seemed to be the head of their class. Typical young person who knows everything already except how the real world actually works, lol. I always fall back on one statement I like for these conversations. "It's your...

We just hired a grad from Louisiana Tech with a 4yr Systems Controls Engineering degree. All of his classmates had jobs lined up prior to graduation. Starting rate is around $75k/yr. It took me a decade and a half to work up to that rate and these little entitled f@ckers won't entertain...

I believe it morphed into the above mentioned thread did it not? What started out working with an off the shelf unit was developed into a dedicated module that worked with the stock stator for less money and a whole lot easier.

If this isn't the one you are looking for, it needs to be, lol. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/diy-total-loss-or-msd-tl-upgrade-box-270usd.188177/

There's a difference in timing between the two due to the coils being physically indexed differently but I can't remember off the top of my head which way that combo would put you. Since it ran decent, I'm going to say you were approx 13 deg advanced vs retarded.

I have a similar setup with a TLR sleeved 760 cyl on a set of RIVA ported cases and it is one of my favorite surf engines. It's also been one of the most reliable engines I have owned. It was assembled in 2009 and to this day, it just takes a quick prime and fires right off. I don't believe the...

Many have been disappointed with a stock 760 swap. Now, a properly ported 760 is a whole different topic.

The only kits I ever found were "dealer" kits that had a very large assortments and were cost prohibitive. They are available through OEM's like Yamaha but Hot Products had the best pricing and assortments back in the day. This is a loaded question depending on what you are working on. Jets...

The last set of OEM bearings I bought local were over double the cost.

That would be a Yes. :)

The view changes daily. My work computer can only drive 3 external monitors but my personal PC can drive all 5. I had to order a new dock to get the third monitor to work from my work PC but it came in yesterday. This is the view I was after and it seems to work pretty decent. The cams are...

We haven’t seen it in over 2 months now so we stopped putting the trap out. I did pick up this 3 legged Soft Shell today so I believe she has been in the neighborhood for a lot longer than we realize. Some dogs got ahold of this soft shell recently but I think he’ll pull through.
