That's not a good adventure, and I'm sorry it happened to you, zebedee. But glad of the good news that nobody got hurt. And you sure got a story for telling now (not much consolation I know, but it pays to make the most of the cards you get dealt, you know!?).

I was only half-kidding about the earthquake reference, I mean I don't know as much as I should about your neck of the woods: - Isn't the New Madrid fault somewhere in (or near) OK!?

God bless the luxury of making an easy change now, versus the nightmare of trying to do it later when everything is fixed in place (which just might rank as one of Murphy's absolute favorites, you know?).

Talk about sabotaging an enemy, now THAT'S a good one to include in a bag-of-tricks.

Can't remember if the backstory on this plate was already addressed: - With my luck I probably already asked the question back at like post #275 or something. :oops: - It's a very cool detail. - What's this all about?

That's a nice clean installation, QUADJEEPER; good looking work. Is that one of the self-bleeding valves (circled), that you can activate from the dash?

Agreed. Those are great shots, and they look like professional ad copy for a sales brochure or something.

The impression from other stories is that any runaway transitions almost immediately to self-destruct RPM's, but your story is the first I heard that suggests there is some time to catch it all before it gets critical. That's good to know.

That is ingenious!

Badda-Bing Badda-Boom. That new rubber sure is looking good!

That's a great and special way to live: - You have job skills that can travel, and - No particular reason to stay anchored to any one place. and then - There's this big wide Republic that honors your citizenship anywhere on the continent from "sea-to-shining sea" (CONUS). That's pretty...
