Good for a tenth in the quarter.

I let some more oil drip out of the engine onto the floor of my garage. . . .

It would be easy to make a funny response to that, but actually it's a good question now that I think about it. Some racers on here will know.

Went to the gym and lost 4 pounds :=)

[Walt Fricke]

I'm adding a Porsche crest decal to the hood of my race car. That will add back a fraction of the ounces I have saved elsewhere, but nowhere nearly as much as the proper enameled crest on a truely stock car. Which disappeared in a crash some time back.

[germanfan]

[germanfan]

How much do those electrons weight anyway?

Wouldn't that be a negative loss?
