  1. Yes, hey I have an idea....Lets make drugs illegal!!!!!! Oh........Shit.........Nevermind.
  2. The 16V92 is one of eleven 200kv auxiliary gen sets. The 7 main gen sets are 12V278 400kv sets. These are used when the nookyooler tea kettle is not boiling. As for the two strokes, I bought the boat used, what can I say. I tried to get the previous owner to install 3608 Cats but he wouldn't bite.
  3. The NYPOST reporting there was another attempt on an officer's life last night in The Bronx. Thankfully it was not successful; a perp pointed a weapon at an officers face point blank, pulled the trigger but apparently did not realize the weapon was empty. He is in custody, which is unfortunate as he should be in a drawer in the morgue. And in Tarpon Springs, Florida- a police officer was murdered early this morning. To my brothers in blue: Open season has been declared on you. Maintain a high state of readiness and situational awareness at all times. You have the right to go home to your family at the end of your watch. Two in the chest, one in the head. That is all, carry on.
  4. I see you got some pictures of my weekend fishing boat in the picture coming out of the HRBT into Norfolk.......That's it right there on the left.....the haze gray one.
  5. I have friends on NYPD, just got off the phone with one of them. Back about a week and a half ago, the FOP Lodge that represents the rank and file of NYPD circulated a memo and a document that asked each and every uniformed officer to sign and submit- basically a document asking that the Mayor, the Police Commissioner and a few others of the top city leaders NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND THEIR FUNERALS if the signing member was ever to die in the line of duty. Word on the street is that both of the guys who were murdered tonight did indeed sign and submit these documents, and the families have already advised DeBowhard's staff that they are to be nowhere near the funerals. Mayor's Staff came back and said "Ok, you want to play that game, we'll jam up all your benefit payments for years." The families told the Mayors Staff to GFY, we'll get Fox News involved. Also there are rumors of a Blue Flu.
  6. Maybe I should get him that Kobalt ball-peen hammer tomorrow when I go to Lowes..........
  7. LARGE received his 58-piece (China-Made) 3/8ths & 1/4 drive Craftsman set tonight from SWMBO, myself, and his brothers and sister. It did not matter to him that it was made in China. I did not bring it up, and he did not mention it. You guys should have all seen the look on his face, he was as happy as a pig in shit. His Haynes small engine repair manual is due to be delivered on Monday, and he has been hitting youtube videos explaining engines for the last 2-3 weeks. I have the computer programmed not to show any 2-cycle diesel videos.
  8. true that b615rich.....true that.
  9. I think Imma gonna return the Shitsman set and go get a Kobalt set.
  10. WTF? I was wondering what ate the bottom of the Christmas Tree. You couldn't knock on the door and have a cup of coffee? That's pretty ignorant, I'd expect that from Hatcity. And since you were here why couldn't ya drop off the secret sauce? My eggs have been boring lately.

  12. I was assured that the lifetime "No questions asked" guarantee still stands with the china-made craftsman crap. I will have to look into Fastnal, there's a store not too far from the house. Looking into Kobalt. I actually like their garden tools (no not Detroits.) Hatcity- I have three boys. If I am going to get a basic set of tools and a box for all three of them and get them off "The Truck" I will go into Bankruptcy in the year 2022 when Small turns 11, and there will be no money left to buy Extra Small a set of tools when she turns 11 in the year 2025. Most of my stuff is off "The Truck" and I do not wish to do that three or four more times.
  13. So friggen mad right now, could punch a baby goat. Since when in the hell are Craftsman tools made in China? Went into the Craftsman store to Large his first socket set for his 11th bday (around the same time my old man got me my first set) only to be kicked in the nutsack by those three words everywhere I looked. What the hell??? I sucked it up and got him the China-Craftsman set. I looked around (Proto from Grainger, SK and a few others) but they're all too expensive. Dad gave me my first set on my 11th bday, he sat me down and told me "a good quality american-made set of tools will last you a lifetime. You take care of them, they'll take care of you." I still have that very first set thirty plus years later. I really wanted to do the same thing for my boys....Start a tradition......I dunno....Guess I'm just nostalgic.
  14. I installed an Airtex model number E8012S which feeds the 554 CID Wauky adequately. We did calculations and it was suitable for an 817 Wauky, so I assume it should be ok for a 707.
  15. Personally, you have gone this far. What's a little more dissassembly going to do to the schedule or budget? I dont know if splitting them will make it easier to remove from the chassis, but personally if I were in your shoes I would split them just for the sake of making a good visual inspection of the flywheel and clutch.
  16. No no no if you're gonna set me up, use my right address.....I can be found here most anytime: 8330 State Road Philadelphia, Pa. 19136 Google it, you'll figure it out.
  17. I just spit iced tea all over the screen laughing
  18. Mmmmmmmm bistits....I like those.....
  19. I can neither confirm or deny that today is Ray's bday.......... OD can you please contact the Winfall Birthday Crew and have them post an appropriate photo of their bday celebration for Ray?????
  20. Add Wilmington, Delaware to the wheel falling off list, last week. There is nothing wrong with Piece fire apparatus. This is all your imagination. Move along, nothing to see here. The Men In Black from Appleton will be along shortly to neuralize you. Those who are in the Fire Service and do not drink the Appleton Flavored Kool Aid will laugh at this. Those that drink the Kool Aid will immediately brand me as a bastardous prick, place a contract on my life, and will accuse the departments of having lack of proper and adequate preventive maintenance.
  21. Looks AWESOME!!! And I dont trust a guy with a clean shop....LOL
  22. Now $19.00 for a car to cross the guinea gangplank.......WTF am I supposed to do now to get good fresh mozz and prosciutto?
  23. Mike's daughter Ashley was having a little fun with him earlier tonight and some of us may or may not have been egging her on to put some makeup on him or paint his face with a sharpie or something like that.......Anyways I was just about dared to put this onto BMT so in the spirit of a christmas time triple dog dare, here it is......
  24. Sorry. I have to go against the anti-freeze folks here. I don't know of anyone who has ever taken that route that didn't have bad luck, whether it be all the AF leaking out over time and all over the floor, or the AF not being distributed properly and drain valves freezing up and breaks due to expansion. I am all for total draining and evacuation by air pressure. Upon the impending freezing weather, I open every valve that exists on the truck, and remove all the caps. Let it drain down while driving it around for a few miles to "slosh" everything out. (Remembering that if there is residual water in the tank it has room for expansion and therefore is not as critical.) When I get back to the barn, I close everything back up. I have a 2.5" discharge cap that I drilled out and tapped with the proper threads to receive a male air coupling. I put it on a discharge, and pressurize the pump with 5-10psi of air. Now open each and every valve and drain one at a time and let the air push everything out. Repeat for several cycles. | When you are done, open every valve back up and leave them open, juuuuuuuust in case if there does happen to be any more residual water in there, the valves wont trap it and create expansion breaks. I have never had any issues using this method.
