That's because he is using magical 5.4 bolts that add the extra displacement he craves. /s

Yes it is.... denial does that to a guy. I admit, I was pretty excited when I saw my heads said 5.4 on them..... thought I had a 5.4 or some special heads on it Then I researched. Nope.


Hey AK, seems like you told me you had done some projects with Arduino before. I've got a Raspberry Pi that I've been messing with..... now thinking about Arduino. Just wondering what you've done, and if you have any cool sites you frequent? TIA.

Hey Whitey. I have 3 RPi's and 2 arduino's in a box, somewhere. lol. I have a tablet set to Linux also, and a load of projects and parts and breadboards, but I just haven't really gotten into it yet. I have at least 3 cards w the operating systems ready. I'm finding that if someone else is interested, then maybe I might get re-energized, ROFL. I got them to learn w my grandson, but he's in Alabama now. I lost interest. Same w about $2000 worth of HO trains.

I'm flying back home this evening, and Southwest offered to upgrade to Business Select with an A-1 to A-15 boarding number. Tempting, but I think I'll keep my B-1 assignment
