LB is so fucking dumb

and he's listening to Break Stuff lawl

holy crap, that's more than just a puppy

lol he looks so sad. The stork brings our little furry bundle of joy tomorrow. puppy??!?!?!?!11

he looks pissed lol

Sexy. Why a single pipe? the fuel pump is directly in the way on the passenger side so I schemed this up it sounds exactly like I want it to though: quiet at idle but screams at WOT

the fuel pump is right in the way on the passenger side

they did a really good job, just wish they had a mandrel bender

We've had such a dry/stormless summer here, it's sucked

I love the idea.... you could just splice/resolder wire to acess remotely for controll in the house. You could set up a camera to view the cooker, but it would have to be a bad muther of a camera to deal with MN winter, more so if it will freeze/thaw so much when it's close to the Egg. You could check out durrable surveylance cameras and work that out. I'm gonna chew on that, I love the idea. It's not worth doing at my house.... maybe.... but the idea is choice! Thermocouples you can't just "extend", but perhaps for some $ they would send me ones with the right response or let me know how to mod-them. Hell, I'd keep the controller in the basement and only use the PC. As long as you have calibration parameters, you can make thermocouples as long as you need them to be, no? That is my thought. Obviously within reason considering it isn't like they are high voltage. In one of my labs, we made our own out of 2 pieces of the right kind of wire. We also discussed the principles that allow them to work. IIRC, as long as the voltage drop is calibrated to the correct temps, it'll work. And generically with any wire they are linear right? ie I could extend them and recalibrate myself? if extended with generic wire, would you even need to recalibrate? both sides of the generic wire would experience the same electron transfer rates so the calibration would still be right? maybe?

I'll try to get some tomorrow. It was right at the end of the day today and my friend wanted to close up.

so it gets sideways in 2nd gear, rolling into it :D

agreed

so I spent at least 65% of the time from 7pm Friday to 4am this morning drunk last week of summer though

MK, if this is anything like the engineering exercises/competitions I've been involved with/heard about. It's just as important (if not more so) to justify your engineering choices than to perform well. You have to explain why you chose the parts you did. And not just "cause this one looked better." It needs to be like the Z will experience X newtons so that it needs to be strong enough to withstand Y cycles based on so and so's theory of fatigue. If you can't do the calculations (you should be able to come up with some approximating equations to get some idea), then you better be able to bullshit in a way that sounds technical.

the fab work in that car is gorgeous
