Random Thoughts - Part Deux [NO POLITICS]

A drag strip a few miles from me has street car races a week from tomorrow. Only requirement is you have to have a helmet if your car is faster than 14 seconds. Sounds fun. $25 entry. If I can get my fuel issue solved this week, I might take the twin out. I'll need to learn how to use the launch control.

I learnt something today -

That is how Lambo got their start. He owned Ferrari's and went to Ferrari to complain they should make it more of a road car instead of a race car for the road. Ferrari told him their cars are perfect and shooed him away. He started out by modifying a Ferrari and then building his own cars.

65’ Lambo 350 GT

They just announced they are suspending the season indefenatly. So sad.

Boise state football is like the biggest thing in idaho. So many small businesses rely on the income from home games each year, not to mention the income for the school. More small businesses will close. This has been such a bad year. Sucks.

So, does he still get the scholarship?

It is a member track with the NHRA. It isn't Bubba's track.

if we give my brother's dog a treat, he'll run around the house incessantly whining for hours on end. my brother finally found an article a while back talking about it. his dog doesn't get treats all that often(they just don't think about it), so the article talked about how the dog wants to literally treasure the treat forever as a high value item, but doesn't know where to put it.

so he's is literally melting his little dog brain trying to find a place to hide the treat that he can appreciate it forever!

Gunshots rang out like a bell
I grabbed my nine all I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast
Jumped in my car slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed
I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene you know what I mean
They passed me up confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

One of my lady friends has a dog that kind of does this. He parades around with it for about an hour before finally eating it.

Learned a new fact today. The A-10 has two engines that produce 41kN of thrust each, the 30mm cannon on the front produces 45kN of thrust when fired

So engine #toomany's low rpm loud tapping noise goes away when the drive belt is off. I feared that bank 1 on the new engine had a loose rocker. Cannot visually find amything wrong with the pulleys but, I suspect the waterpump due to the location of the noise. It doesn't make a noise when spun by hand, there is a super tiny ammount of back and foruth movement when wiggling it though...
