I love the stories that come out of this thread! Not only am I in awe of the knowledge necessary to be able to sort and collect all of the parts that belong to a given engine, but then you saving them until you found the perfect situation for them... If this was the first time this had happened...

Re: what did you do in your garage today? I like the way the racedeck appears to be smaller squares farther away and larger squares closer up. Sweet job there! MM

Omphaloskeptic - Your comments about the snow flying and Gus gave me an alternate vision: The red beacon on the front center of Gus' hood, Thomas dressed up as Santa... Gus would be Rudolph! MM

Re: Tips & Tricks That is genius! I had thought of something like a roll of butcher paper (same idea as the Dr uses on the exam tables) but your idea is perfect. Shouldn't bleed through, reusable... Thank you sir! :bowdown: MM

A somewhat short answer regarding the blacksmith vise (or Leg Vise) is that the design allows it to be beaten on. :-) The vises that you've shown in the past (on your PDR and in other locations) the screw is an integral part of connecting the movable jaw to the stationary base/jaw, and...

Does the horn go "Beep, Beep, Beep"?:lol_hitti MM

Not mine by any stretch of the imagination, but since you mentioned welding, and since I just watched this earlier today (yesterday)... And one more that got me drooling :drool: I'm in love, but too poor to do anything other than wimper in jealous unworthiness! MM

Re: what did you do in your garage today? 17 pieces and only 16 screwdrivers? Lost one already, huh? At least I'm not alone! :lol_hitti MM

+1 :thumbup: My wife and I also signed up for Amazon Prime a couple of years ago and it's been great. The 2 day free shipping has tipped the scales on making internet purchases cost effective, and we more than recoup our subscription costs back. My sister lives on the West Coast while my...

I can see both sides of things... Most electronic/computer devices are so complex that troubleshooting without a computer/reader is almost impossible, and they do make things easier in the majority of cases... However too much dependence on those items is not a good thing either. I had a water...

daveroy: When I asked that same question a while back the answer I got was yes, you can raise one only. (I am willing for someone with hands-on experience to correct me if I'm wrong) I believe there is a disconnect valve or something similar. I'm not sure what if anything would need to be done...

I KNEW IT!!! I was only able to tune into the ustream for about 10 minutes on Friday, and what do I see but those two blue cars come up to the line and then fly down the track. I'm thinking that car looked familiar, but nah... Couldn't be, right? So many cars, what are the chances in that one...

After such a great lead in post, how can I fail to wish you and every other Dad on here: Happy Father's Day! MM

What I find amazing is how you always seem to anticipate items of interest. The fact that you had the ability to trot out a closeup picture centered on the clamps (from a different direction than the overall shot) once you started taking heat for their possible demise shows that you have the...

I missed the original Woodstock, went to the 25th anniversary event to see what all the hoopla was about.... I think this'll be even bigger and better. Just saying. MM

A couple of minutes google stalking you later.... So how much of the yellow area are you getting, and what is your design layout for the landing strip, pool, tank range and heliport? :-P MM

Thomas - When you first posted this picture I immediately thought it was for doing binding work, but it was much more elaborate than anything I used in my youth when working at a Copy/Print store. I also didn't recognize the functions of the other pictures so I couldn't have guessed where these...

What's this we? You got a mouse in your pocket? I can't wait! Now Now Now! First Thomas teases us with the prelude to what is sure to be another wonderful story, then IMCA38 tantalizes and taunts us (me) with an auction (with anvils!!!) tomorrow in Nebraska, which is just a smidge out of my...

You also don't want to swap the Airbag Control Modules between dissimilar vehicles. While externally the modules may appear to be identical, they are specifically designed for the vehicle they are in. Some are meant to have a particular orientation in regards to the front of the vehicle, are set...

Put it on your shoulder and pat gently?
