Interesting. Arrow gets bad around season 3/4 but you may think otherwise.

Flash's best season is its first, but kinda surprised you've caught up entirely. I've mostly stopped watching this season since I've become fairly tired of the writing.

Do you have Netflix? I recommend Travelers on there. Just ended its run with a 3rd and final season a few months ago.

It is a bit wash rinse repeat but I am still enjoying it. The Flash comics were my favourite as a kid and they have done an outstanding job of working all the various villains and heroes into the story but maintaining a basic yet common backstory.

Totally hate all of the cross over specials. Not sure who writes them but when your normally intelligent characters suddenly become dumb as stumps, get a whole new personality and forget their own basic skills then it shows they didn't do their homework.

The only thing I've watched on that list is The Orville.

Show them those pictures. Demand that they drop the oil pan and the pickup tube. Offer to pay the balance to have those parts cleaned.

Random thought:



Coast Guard finally responded after nearly 5 months. 1 month too late since I'm pursing a different career track now.



2nd random thought: Another track I could do is get Bachelor's degree then commission in as an officer...

Maybe if you run it dry. The valve springs, however, will be fine.

I should sleep more.

It seems to be following the book quite well, with very good casting.

The leprechaun nailed it.

I've read the book several times over the years. Have to dig it back out again.

Yes, it's absolutely excellent. The book too. I read it in hardcover when it first came out.

I don't like the DC TV shows much. The new crop from DC Universe are good, Titans and Doom Patrol. I tried Supergirl and Flash when new and couldn't make it past the first episodes. Same with Arrow. I dunno Timeline.

The repair man said he wouldn't even bother coming out to look at it. So we've been keeping our frozen foods in coolers outside and everything else in boxes in the garage. Try buying a refrigerator when you need it RIGHT NOW! Many stores have big flyers with dozens of 'em on sale. The catch is NONE are in stock. Some they won't have until the end of April. Oh, and all new fridges are over 68 1/2 inches tall. Try squeezing that under a 68 inch high cabinet!
We finally found one that would fit under our cabinets. However, it's smaller than we had and has the double doors that we didn't want plus auto ice maker that we don't have a hook up for. But at least we get it this Friday and will not have to wait to the end of the month!

I had the same situation a few years back - my Sawzall "fixed" the cabinet -

Freezing rain this morning. Did not crash on the way! They tried to give me a camry to drive. I refused. I like my AWD truck.


They said my car was going to be the 6th recall car they have done. They also agreed to put new spark plugs in for just the cost of parts. ($80) IMO, it's either a nice gesture for someone that bought a car at their dealership or the least they can do.


Happy Hump Day Ya'll!

How about the "for sale" or "part out" thread -

(I'm sorry, that's not funny - )

I think the chance of it blowing up is very small. Additionally, if you are anything like me, you have been driving your car like it's icy out since getting the recall letter... So, the likelihood of "BOOM" is even smaller...

I was joking though I do have a couple track days coming up before I do the recall and I have only been seeing about 58psi of oil pressure at redline. So either my gauge is e'ffed or I have an issue. My car only sees the occasional weekend drive anymore since I DD a company rig.

I have been getting all my paperwork done. Picked out carpet for my master bedroom today. Very stressed out. I'm totally getting two packs of gas station sushi tomorrow for lunch. I need a pick me up.

[MuseChaser]

Make sure you don't put in the new carpet until at least a day after you've eaten the gas station sushi, just in case.

What's your oil temp? I see about the same above 200 F but it gets to 75 psi at 176 F, which is the test temperature.

That was up around 220-250F on track. I see fairly normal pressures under 200, though I don't really drive it hard on the street so hard to compare. That was with 5W-30 300V though. Not seeing any improvement in pressure with that weight oil so going back to 0-20. I think the issue is pump cavitation as I notice the drop off after 5500-5800 RPM. Even at temp it is hitting 70+ PSI until then.
