Didn't realize you needed a key to start a sailboat...

Oh, OK. Be careful around the Pequonnock Yacht Club, there used to be some nasty girls hanging out there looking for a "ride". -

Buy a full face paint respirator and this stuff.

It is an acid, so gear up in throw-a-way clothes and don't do it on a nice garage floor. Spray on, let sit until your eyes water and then scrub it off. Afterwards rinse the fuck out of everything with soapy water.

Work amazing on cleaning up older boats that lived in the water and not dry docked.

Nah, go. being that is one of the newer engines being swapped into a '13 car I already have to swap over almost every sensor and plug. A few more parts shouldn't be the end of the world.

I've had 2 engines that came with each car. I've had one built engine from MAPerformance in 2015. I put a low mileage junk yard engine in the 13 car after the MAP engine burned up. It lasted about 1300 miles. The following engine was bought and never received 'because covid19 45 days weren't enough time to ship it...' way back in February.

It took forever for paypal to get the refund process. I then just bought another used low mileage engine with 20k on the clock which I just received.

I also have another engine being build by IAG Performance to put in my tS over winter. I consider it my final, final try. It is a full custom build using the HKS Stroker, overbored and closed deck. It will be a 2.3l Harrop Supercharged monster. It's currently held up by JE Pistons whom are backed up with no ETA...

I tell myself I cannot break my tS until I get the blue car out the door for good!

My home laser printer apparently won't print in black and white if one of the color cartridges is empty! How completely stupid is that? And, of course, all the stores are closed because COVID says you have to roll up the carpets at 8:00pm.

Out of frustration, I restarted the printer. Apparently if you queue up jobs to the printer, then restart it, it will print before it's logic bomb tells it that one of its cartridges are empty.

Take that, Michael Dell!

Oh, I should add, I have the replacement Magenta cartridge (I always keep a set at home), or at least I thought I did. turns out the wrong cartridge was shipped in the right box. It's for a completely different printer model.

For as eff’d as these friction rings look, they are still in spec

By the time you turn them to get all the grooves out, they may not be within spec -

Top & middle are using 1084 steel vs bottom is 1080 steel.
There’s only 0.004 carbon difference between 1080 & 1084, but belt sander def saw the difference. Went through double of belts than 1080.

Would you say it's wrong to get a VPN so you can watch things you're not supposed to?

Even if they're ground down to the deepest groove on both sides?

Isn't that the main reason?
