Oh Boy, I get to go to the company campus today for a meeting. It's about moving our Exchange server to a hosting company. We have 2 Terabytes of email data to move. Gonna take a while, especially since the connection to the host is a T-1, 1mb.

Richard, sorry about Camber. It is tough to find a good dog like that.

Also, ouch on that Exchange move. Would be quicker to load it up on a drive and ship it.

Rick, on that small block Mopar, check out Racer Brown or Hughes for camshafts. Made specifically for the larger tappet bore on those blocks.

I would have invited all of you over for the not watching super bowl party, but the road wasn't fit for anything less than a Unimog (told my boss they should buy me one for a company car). Had to wait for the V plow this morning to get down the road. Our car didn't make it 100' before I had to pull it back with the truck. Sat and waited for the plow to come by then. Finally went by a little after 9:00. Sunny and 4* today with no wind. Last night clearing the drive there were times it was hard to see the front of the snow thrower I was attached to. I hate wind. Get to clear some of what drifted back in tonight.

Anyone know what to treat the bottom of a snowboard with? Emily's is pretty beat up on the bottom and isn't as slick as it what I thought it should be. Her old one goes much better.

Have the nearest ride shop wax it and tune up the edges. They usually will do it in an hour or two and it'll be in much better shape.


Or get some swix board wax and get to work!

Do you polish out the scratches and gouges in the bottom first or leave them?

Actress Aya Sumika. Looks like she actually knows how to shoot.



I hate when they run around with their finger on the trigger or the finger pad is wrapped all the way around the trigger. Unless they are supposed to be bad guys/girls with no training.

Evening Y'all,
Richard I am sorry to hear about Camber, I know exactly how you feel, and it sucks.

First day on the new job and this is going to be an adventure. The owner is from Vietnam and he speaks broken engrish, the other tech is from Honduras and he only half Hablas, the guy who sweeps up no hablas's and they are all three foot seven.
I was told today by the half habla that I need to slow down. I removed a saab turbo auto trans, disassembled it is and had it rebulit and ready to go back in, resealed the rear engine plate and oil pan, and feel like I was dragging ass. It's easy work when you already have all the parts waiting for you, and they are right. Man I am out of shape, I hurts, feels like I have taken a couple of months off

Oh noooo. What little "reading up" I did, I knew more about migrating to Exchange365 than the hosting providers setup guys. Basically spent all afternoon watching them try the same thing over and over, then I just had to ask questions that would lead them to the setting that causing the problem. After meeting had a short chat with my bosses about it. They told me to let them do it, it's what they are paying them for. Holey Cow, going to cause a LOT of problems.

Whooo! The RC is back running.....I gotta make a few little adjustments like tightening the slipper and double checking gear mesh, but other than that it's good to go.

Make a median out of snow so oncoming traffic can't slide into each other?
