    Here you go. This is one of my neighbors. It's amazing to see the tranformation from tarnished to sparkling. http://www.airstreamguy.com/airstreams_for_sale

    I half-assed collect IHC stuff so that caught my eye. Looks like a modified W-4 tractor but nothing I could find spelled it out exactly. I did find an interesting page listing many of IHCs contributions to the war effort. I never knew they produced torpedoes. http://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/internationalharvester.htm

    My family and I were there. I had a lot of fun and bumped into Tony Kanaan while in line for lunch. Surprised how short he is. I'm planning to be back in March for the race.

    I will be there. Not sure what to expect but hoping for warm enough weather to let them get grip. I was at Indy one year when it was cool and it was horrible.

    Yes it is. You can see the trig function keys don't get used much anymore. CAD has turned it into a regular calculator, I'm afraid. It is the first calculator I bought as an engineer and it will retire with me later this year. I get a kick out of handing it to guys on the floor and watching them try to get an answer.

    For a quick moment I thought that you had broken into my office.

    @ChampKind The family and I are planning to drive down from Kyle and eat lunch at your place on Saturday. Do I need to get there early to be sure I get a rib? Any chance you might have some Spam?

    Nancy Fox, one of his victims, was a HS classmate and friend of mine. Hits close to home and all.

    @davidg the Jeff Beck, Imogen Heap tune above reminded me of this one they did. I really like Vinnie Colaiuta's drumming on this one.

    This. My 2004 Merc Grand Marquis with 200,000 miles had similar symptoms a couple of months ago. It never showed a code. The mechanic found a crack in a vacuum hose and fixed the problem. Less than $50 and it runs fine now.

    I'm glad I stumbled through this thread today. I went to TofT and saw your post about Shinyribs being at Greune on the 9th. So happens I will be in the neighborhood and got some tickets to the show. Thanks @Hornius Emeritus

    This is what the Kansas Parks and Wildlife used to always say as well. The proliferation of game cams caught enough of them to prove their existence statewide. My wife's cousin, who is a game warden, says they told the tale so people would be less likely to disturb the cats. We have one that roams the abandoned quarry behind our house.

    My kids were raised on PF so I can't point to an awakening moment. Wish that I could. I did get a moment when leaving Pink Floyd at Arrowhead during the Pulse tour when my teenage son thanked me for taking him along. Probably the first thank you from him in 4 or 5 years. That's a cool picture Cajun.

    This is a really long but interesting read about the making of WYWH. https://www.loudersound.com/features/how-wish-you-were-here-was-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-pink-floyd

    Rusted nuts

    Shoxthemonkey replied to AUinHsv's topic in Hobbies

    Is the bumper and bracket combo still attached to the car or is it sitting on your workbench? If it is possible to get at it with a drill you can hold the nut with a wrench and drill through the head with a drill that is the same diameter as the threaded portion. A drill vise is handy for this but you can handhold the wrench if need be. We do this a lot when restoring old machinery. We also have a set of LH drill bits that can sometimes unscrew the fastener. Usually things are too tight for that but it's worth a try if you can attack it with a drill. You didn't say whether the hole is wobbled out or the bolt head is rounded and maybe you can't tell until they are removed. You might have to take a welder to the bumper to restore the square hole. Good luck. Just like @davidg said

    Shit. I was hoping he had been shanked. Just more stupidity from MSU. Shocking.

    My kids have a couple of Miatas. We were there for the annual Mazda national get together. It was a lot of fun watching everything from absolute beginners to seasoned vets having a ball on the track for a weekend.

    Well, usually they come from squalid back alleys in places where prospects are dim and life is cheap. They used to just dessicate them in the desert but I think they use solar kilns now.

    This calls for a liberal dusting of baby powder
