Hey Pete, I noticed in the random photo thread you mentioned anti-freeze in tractor tires. I have to assume they put water & anti-freeze in tractor tires to give them a lot more mass for traction. Is there any other reason? I would think a flat woud be an envoirmental mess.

I live in a farm state but I have never been around much farm equipment.

Our windows are only opened when clean them. We both have allergies and electricity is just too cheap to suffer.

Hey Sid, I saw on the local news that it is official. Last summer Oklahoma had the hottest average summer of all time. We beat Texas buy .2 degrees. I guess Arizona has too many mountains and Flagstaff compensates for Phoenix.

So you can tell your fellow interns that complain about the heat that you worked outside through the hottest summer ever.

By edited, you mean where I took out the part where the wife of the guest couple came in naked, woke up my boss and his wife, and asked if they wanted to swap partners. I didn't think that had anything to do with the missing toothpaste, but I could be wrong.

A friend of mine always wanted to set up a spare bedroom with whips & chains and a trapeeze. He wanted a big part of the floor covered in plastic and a few 5 gallon barrels of lard and Crisco. For some reason I doubt he ever really tried.

my friend went on a date, a few years back. the date felt moved to show him her bedroom on the first date. it was the 'sex swing' hanging over the bed that got him moving for the front door and home.

I am working on some more annoying files. We had to fly three flight lines and each flight line is 10 pictures. The 30 images are 1.1 gig each but mostly the center part of the image is used to be put together into one final map. The limits of the TIF format makes us cut that background image into 4 pieces that are geo-coded so map software knows where to place them. Each one of the 4 images is 32,500 x 19,445 pixels or 1.77 Gig. The customer wants us to make a print 5 feet x 12 feet at a very high resolution. We do it every year for them.

I live in a farm state but I have never been around much farm equipment.
Used to use calcium chloride and water in them (think that's what is in mine). Was hell if you sprung a leak.
I'm sure they use something more environmentally friendly these days.
Yeah....more weight = more traction.

Do you think that will work for my 911? I could fill the tires with water and get a LOT more traction and speed for the autocross! I may have to start selling a kit on Ebay for that I could be rich

That was all back in the stone ages when I was in my mid 20s and so was the friend. Mostly is was bunch of dudes sitting around drinking beer, laughing and laughing about things that would be funny to do.

That thought would have dissipated into the noise pretty quick.

It would all depend upon how the date was traveling - looking for a one nighter or something more?

The silly grin from ear to ear would have been hard to get rid off

Evening all

I always get my nipples caught in those sex swing things. Unless I grease them up with toothpaste first.

There I worked them both in.
