Got a shot in the eye. Haven't gotten one since April a year ago. If I zoom way in I can almost read the screen. Sure glad the computer had disability access stuff like zooming the screen real big.

go rest them eyes by checking the lids for holes.

Connect it to your TV and zoom!

in serious need of some pain killers. I wonder if the kid has any left from his wisdom teeth removal.......

I can watch movies and shows, just can't focus well enough read.

The motor needs to get hot enough for long enough that the heat boils/evaporates the water out of the oil. For every gallon of gas burned, 3 gallons of water is created. The main function of an oil filter is to remove water from the oil. That is why they hang down.

The 928 GTS crankcase vent system fogs quite a bit of oil into the intake which builds up a layer of carbon on top of the piston. The more the carbon build up, the higher the compression and the more ring blowby there is, which puts more oil down the intake. This oil passed to the intake also causes pre-detonation both because of the increased compression and the oil vapor in the combustion chamber thru the intake reduces the octane of the fuel charge. And the pre-detonation creates even more blow by.

That is why I am having the rings redone on my GTS. If the mechanic ever gets to it.

Water will evaporate long long before the oil gets to 212. It does not have to boil to evaporate. It does not take long to evaporate water from oil. It takes longer to dry out the exhaust system.

Got my garage ac in tonight. Thanks for the idea glen! Still have a little finishing work to do. Need to insulate it and a few other little things.

Saw that on FB, looks good.

Garage ACs? Hmmm, must be hot there. :cool:

Good Tuesday morning folks.

Sid, I will toast your AC with a beer when I get home.:D

It took me as long to paint it and trim out to look decent as to build it.

The garage attached to the house stays pretty cool since it is mostly buried. The other one where the toys are though is hot. When we re-sided it we replaced the fixed windows with sliders. At least then you get some airflow.

Our garage is on the west side of the house and gets direct sun all afternoon. The doors are insulated but they still get a lot of heat. The attic above is insulated. Last weekend when it was 102 outside and I had just returned with my El Camino and it was hot from the engine and the body of the car was hot from the sun the garage go up to 90. Dang toasty.

Even on a 100 degree day I can keep my work bay very comfortable for just a dollar an hour. The AC will keep up with the heat load of the hot day. If I bring in a hot car the AC is overwhelmed and can't keep up. When this unit dies I will likely replace it with a 220 unit if I can find one of a close physical size.

My garage is on the North side of the house and under my bedroom, so it stays nice and cool as long as the garage doors stay down. Unfortunately, it freezes hard out there in temps less than 10-15 degrees, so heat is more of a necessity than A/C.

My garage is the same temperature it is ouside. It is on the southwest corner of the house opens to the set and has zero insulation besides the brick siding. I have a front bedroom on the north west corner with a window facing the west that is always 5°F warmer than the rest of the house.

When my brother with MS lived here the room on the northwest corner was his. I put a window unit in that bedroom so he could keep it below 70°F for his MS. If it got above 70°F he would start sweating profusely and it would effect his nerves and he would become completely paralyzed.

My garage never gets below 40 even in the coldest of winter storms. We have hit zero a few times and it is well above freezing in the garage. I can heat the garage way faster that I can cool it off. I replaced all the rubber bushing and replaced the ball joints, tie rods and the rest on my 911 during a blizzard. I worked in my t-shirt and jeans in total comfort. The garage refrigerator had plenty of beer and the project went smoothly. I love my garage! Even more so with the scissor lift down in the floor pit.

Our house faces West and gets direct sun from about 2pm to sunset. The garage stays pretty comfortable, though. Even on the coldest winter day it is still about 45 degrees which is ok with me. In the summer it stays right around 70 or so. I keep the doors closed 95% of the time which helps it stay cooler.


Apparently, I am getting the reputation of being the "mean" parent amongst my kids' friends. By mean I guess strict.

I sent a friend of my daughter's home today because they put butter on my son's deodorant. Ok, if I wasn't the parent I could find that funny.

Man, I don't know how my mom did it with us WITHOUT smoking or becoming a raging alcoholic!!:eek:

If I were the parent of the kid sent home they would be back with a replacement. Unless it is Axe. You are on your own there.

I need heat more than A/C as well in the detached garage. Maybe a used oil heater or something, then I could do reloading out there. The attached got down to 32* one year but it was -25 for a couple days in a row.

My daughter admitted to the butter incident. Sending her friend home was part of the punishment.

When I was looking for a heater I looked at just about all the different methods for heat. I did not want anything to take up floor space. I did not want to have to vent anything and I did not want any flames.

I mounted this on the ceiling on a frame I built. It blows right on the work space and it will heat the garage up enough to work in total comfort in a t-shirt and jeans in 15 minutes. It cycles on and off as needed depending on what you set the dial at. I never go above 1/2 way. I do not even notice a difference in my electric bill. It has zero fumes and needs no ventilation. It is perfect for my needs.

I can slip it off of the frame and set it on the floor if I needed to. I have not needed to as yet. I just love that heater every winter.
