I no longer have a garage, only a shop. I do have more tools than 16 years ago.

That would be hilarious if they had it at the pump too.

It won't come back down any time soon. There won't be any tax relief, and the supply/demand situation indicates that it should only get worse for the next year.

2.009 spotted in Vancouver today. That's $7.59 a gallon. I paid 1.749 to fill up when I left work. $6.61 a gallon.

Not really a flyby per se, but back when I worked on rappel stuff. I normally don't bother to take pictures. Too busy with my jerb. C5s are cool. We had one pull some ridiculous takeoff here recently and shake the crap out of the hangar. Not sure why they stopped in, normally they don't, typically only helicopters and fighter jets stop here on the way to Alaska because of their poor range.

I think you could also argue that people who want to bolt a 2.5L to an AX-15 are not that common.

I looked around and can't find stock/listings for either right now. I'm wondering if this is more of a supply chain issue (not to beat that dead horse we've been hearing constantly for the last 2 years) than them being actually discontinued? There's an awful lot of XJs still on the road. If it's going to be an issue I better find a new windshield soon...

Go right ahead.

That story reminded me of this old Dilbert comic.

The Lenovo one I've been issued is rock solid. It uses Thunderbolt USB-C. I could see it being bad if it used one of the older USB standards. 3 different people use it, and if none of my cross shifts have broken it yet, so it must be pretty good.

Also, since ultimately you're going to print in greyscale, this is what it would look like (mostly). If I moved the box off the shelf it might have been better. But you're getting what you paid for.

I think I'll just drill it. I can't find anyone that's had it fail.

Hope that helps.

If I remember tomorrow I'll see what I can do.

Looks like they didn't set the clearance right on the main bearings to begin with. Also, what oil and filters have you been using?

Just some friendly life advice from somebody who has been there. Don't pull 25 hour shifts, especially not if you're operating dangerous equipment or working on critical devices. After 18 hours you're fatigued enough to be equivalent to what is considered legally intoxicated. It will get worse from there. We had a young guy stuff the loader bucket through our hangar door right after Christmas. Had to get the prybars and the sledgehammers out to straighten it enough to open, and had our air ambulance offline until we could do so. He had been plowing snow starting the afternoon before and then continued all through the night. I'm pretty happy he only hit the door, and that we managed to get it working before missing a call. I've also done some incredibly stupid things as the direct result of fatigue.

Broken off clutch fingers can give you noises like that too... But normally you have other clutch issues when that happens. It really is a matter of trying to isolate the noise, along with examining the contents of the oil pan and filter. The filter is easy to start with, soooo....

I use one at work. I could snag a picture if you want the next time I'm in there, but honestly it looks just like a regular desktop "office" setup. Just I plug my laptop into the dock instead of having an actual computer tucked away. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse to keep the clutter down, but there's a printer, monitor, speakers, mic (sometimes) all plugged into the dock. Do you want a M$Paint drawing? I'm really good at those.

No idea. Probably an inch or so.

I'd be investigating the failure more before proceeding.

My situation is I have a TJ transmission and it's mounted stupid high in the trans tunnel to try to keep the engine high. This means I'm having a lot of trouble getting the transfercase I intended to use to fit, or for that matter the one I didn't intend to use (a bog standard NP231). I was just going to cut the floor and make it work, but it seems I'm going to have trouble with seats if I do that. Redrilling the tailhousing to the standard clocking is a common solution. Has anyone seen any failures associated with doing so? It's pretty Swiss-cheesed after you do this, assuming you don't weld up the old holes.

Too bad. I'd snatch it up if it was above the 49th.

Which side of the border are you on?

True, if he has a D30 he will break everything in it first. I personally don't subscribe to the "fuse" concept. I'd rather not break. But that's me, running one tons and 37s in an underpowered slug.

It's the same 27 splines regardless.
