It snowed here all day, with no accumulation at all... really odd. I don't think it got any higher than 36 degrees today either.

I hope you get over that cold soon, AK! I think you've had it for about a week now?

So, what the hell would that shop not swap the cord for? Seems like it would be a lot easier to do it when you're installing a motor.

I actually can't remember the last time I had to use one. Hmm. It's been years.
Yea, someone had to notice that at some point. Should of at least called yuh and asked if you wanted it replaced. But yea, maybe they figured the same thing, they don't get used much anymore.

There's 1/4-1/2 of ice covering everything currently. Stayed home for the weekend. This is the first time the garage door froze to the ground lol.
I'm not sure what to say so you pick the one for you.

"This is the first time the garage door froze to the ground lol."

A. That sucks, sorry to hear this. Must really cut down on what you can get done.
B. Fantastic! Enjoy the day staying warm inside watching some tv from the couch.

AK, The message was never meant to be here as I said. Private messaging wasn't working for me and no clue why that was. The tool bar in private messages wasn't working. If I selected anything on the bar everything went light grey except what I selected which went black. While the screen was like this nothing worked and refreshing the screen had no effect. All I could do is use the back button to get the "Do you want to leave this page" message. Leaving the screen wiped everything out. I wanted to get the message through so I choose this option not knowing any better. Won't happen again.

Thanks White, Myself, I do like these old training or information shorts. I only wish he had tried using the horse and riders again to try and explain this one. Synchromesh would have been interesting. At least entertaining anyway.

Found this again on the differential definition and vehicle torque going from the differential to the crank and back or ??

no prob. i'm just sensitive on this since 12=16. My buddy was 6'5 and 290 and strong as an ox. He moved D4 sprockets around like they were toys. He just couldn't beat that Taurus 9mm slug. Took him down like an elephant. The killer hit him right at the left ventricle.. Major LUQ damage. He had no chance. .

It's finally over, the sun made it's appearance for a little while. The wind died down. - It was really kicking last night and with the freezing rain, the house was getting sand blasted. Still cold though 20*.

A. A coffee can of salt last night fix the garage door issue.

B. We couched it for a bit, ended up sprawled on the floor in front of the fireplace, caught a few flicks, dozed off a few times, pillaged the junk food arsenal,,,repeat. Relaxation lol.

How is it over there now?

Yes I have... I watched the Maserati rescue about 20 minutes after he posted it last night, and it already had a crap ton of likes and comments. That's really cool, and I am really happy for him. I travel down that way from time to time (he's about 3.5 to 4 hours away). I think it might be cool to swing in and say hello. I've always thought that I would love to drop in at SMA too.

I wish I would have paid attention to his subscribe count when I started watching. I'd like to see how fast it has grown.

Iirc he was around 15-20k when you posted for us (I wouldn't bet my life tho lol)

I don't normally buy "merch" but I have a strong desire to support him so I may just end up with one of his hats lol
