    Welcome to the IHoP

    reading "The President's Proposal", seems rather decent so far really like the doing away of "pay-for-delay"

    You got me. Never had a croaker. What is it like? honestly I've never eaten them I'd assume they taste the same as a drum though, considering they're in the same scientific family

    endless varieties of croakers, snappers, mackerels, groupers, flounders, mullets and drums equals yummy yummy in my tummy

    you typically make home made sushi? By the way, I'm cooking salmon tomorrow any recipes/tips (electric stove FWIW) [i say this like it a question but I fully expect a thorough response] What are you having with it? Biggest key with Salmon is to get a piece that is good enough to eat raw and then hardly cook it. I prefer mine completely raw, but that isn't so unusual for me. Well i didn't get "sashimi" grade which was something like $11+ a pound, and the other "natural" salmon was priced similarly, so I got salmon that was $8 a pound I was at HEB though so I'm sure that wasn't the best place to start in the first place HEB usually has pretty good quality seafood; some of the bigger HEB's even have sushi made fresh daily on site

    correct; with proper gearing you can get away with less engine horsepower and still have great acceleration or, in the case of smaller cars, using a small engine and still obtaining a reasonable rate of acceleration and (usually) better fuel economy

    correct; with proper gearing you can get away with less engine horsepower and still have great acceleration take my E55 for instance: "only" 391 ft. lbs. torque from the engine, but with 3.59 first gear and 2.82 differential gear its able to send nearly 4,000 ft. lbs. to the tires (assuming 0% parasitic loss), and is able to have the acceleration rate of a sports car/muscle car

    between reframing, sheathing, and siding a 40 foot wall, rebuilding 400 sq. ft. of floor from the joists up, reframing two doorways, and hanging over 24 sheets of drywall, I'd say yeah we're done

    subbing out everything but the can light install, though; finish carpentry and carpet install is a major PITA
  18. Penguin4x4

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Frankly I think its a crime for any doorway to be less than 36"
