Firm plump, not de-hydrated. So they made the mail run just fine.

Is a group of 6 from my home town a fair trade?

Years ago I safely sent a 6 pack of T.K. Root beer to a friend in Japan. He was stationed there in the Navy so lets see if I can repeat that task.

Hey guys...

My trip got short due to my buddy getting ill... I spent most of today lounging, going to PCA breakfast in the AM and then not sure what I am doing tomorrow.


I think I'm going to try to back off of OT this summer, I'll post here some still, but this place is getting stressful.

I plan on doing the PCA breakfast Pless. GTS is at the mechanics getting checked out to see if there is any good reason for the lower than expected dyno. I've heard fresh wires, connectors, and a few sensors can make a 15-30hp difference in these 17 year old cars.

Plan to spend the weekend drinking beers and puttering around in the yard playing in the dirt. If it starts to feel like work I will just have to add more beer. I don't want to get ambitious or anything.

At least it blows the breaker and not you into the ground...


Best drill I ever used was a 40+ year old bit of kit with an aluminum housing and very visibly exposed stator. There was not even a rubber grip- solid, two piece aluminum casing, ungrounded plug.

Had more torque than your arm could handle, but no one dared use it on a hot day when your palms were sweaty... unless you came to liking the tingling, arrhythmic heart feeling.

Ahhh, that same tingling that was occasionally felt as I touched my dads old jointer that had a temperamental short so many years ago. Good thing it was 110v.
