Wonder if running at altitude might be an issue; not a mechanic and don't know what altitude you're running, but starved for air, maybe?

Shoot, I think that striping is a GREAT idea: - You always tend to watch the road ahead of you, but not always the signs that come and go to either side of you. I've never seen that back East here, but it sure seems to make a whole lot of sense.

Brother, every good emergency kit needs a Saint Catherine Medallion; whether you're Mulslim, Christian, Jewish, Agnostic, or Other: - Saint Catherine of Alexandria is the Catholic patron saint of Mechanics (see the third paragraph of the Veneration section in her Wikipedia article). It's like...

I'ver never laid much flooring (and my back is glad of it): - But what's the reason for taping the seams and joints? You always seem to know a lot QJ; can you get away OK without that step?

Just being nosey, but can you recall about how much time (distance) there was from the time your buddy was: - Pushing that useless brake pedal to the floor - And recognizing that there WAS a runaway ramp?

Did you ever see a a tractor-trailer IN it, one of those days you passed by!?

Sorry, but I lost track of that: - What is "Gimpy's Test"?

Looks like the parade was a big hit. Thanks for the pics! What's the deal with the road striping in this shot: - Is that to help you stay in your lane during earthquakes!?

Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (T.R.) is almost singlehandedly responsible for turning the Office of the Executive into the grandstanding spectacle it has now become: - The U.S Constitution never intended the Office of the Executive (the "President") to become a position of substitute Monarch/ Emperor...

This sure sounds like an interesting event. [thumbzup] Thanks for the post: - How did it all get started, and what's it all about? Do you maybe have a link to some background?

I think I ran across Multi-Seal in a Gempler's catalog before. That's the stuff in a can that you just spray into the tire valve right? It sounds pretty much like a no-brainer (unless of course, like ruatystud says, you ever have to deal with the interior side of that tire): - Can you all...

I don't know what's the current count for world wonders, but that Grand Canyon is absolutely one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Nobody can take a bad picture of it. You get there, and just plain open the shutter: - Bingo; you just created a photographic masterpiece! It is amazing. I'm...

Sounds like a nice collection that you got there: - How many vehicles total in the motor pool?

It's always more fun to read about somebody else's nightmare, than enjoying the thrill of your own nightmare (happening to you in "real time"). It'd been fun to see a cardiologist print-out of your heart rate during that episode. Glad you pulled off the save!

I like the "open door" policy for display (hood and doors open). It's handy for the people who want to see (and you know everybody wants to), and it also reflects professionalism for rally standards; good stuff. [thumbzup]

I'm wondering if running a bead of form-a-gasket material around the top rim of the pipe would solve your "rain-cap rattle"?

There was a post just over the last few days of a real nice looking truck with that paint scheme. Might have been the same 5-ton dump, or maybe something else. But for the life of me can't remember what thread it was. Guess I'm not helping much am I? Oh, WELL....

Me and my sweetie drove from Scottsdale up to the South Rim one day years ago, and I can still recall the overwhelming sense of total humbling awe at pulling up to the Canyon at the end of that ride (I-17, and Rte 180). The Grand Canyon is one VERY BIG hole, I got to tell you. Hope you get the...

There was some small variation in the formations that were forecast and those actually flown, and I'm not sure why that is (maybe some last minute issues or something): - Like the first formation looked to me to be (4) L-4 Grasshoppers - And the second formation that came in was a whole...

That's some nice-looking fab work there. M35A2-AZ sure knows what he's doing.
