    Welcome to the IHoP

    What does it use for engine management and does it have a radiator and coolant or just use lake water? Just lake water. Engine management is a MEFI (Marine) but I think it's just a potted standard GM EFI unit. Vortec 350 pretty much circa 2004.

    Head tilted to the side, phone against shoulder, and fingers typing or: Bluetooth headset walking around throwing a football in the air, and occasionally bending down to type another ihop post. Which is it? Neither. Plantronics wired ITE headset with dual monitors on the work computer and a second computer sitting on the L section of my desk.

    My guess it would be similar to the ping pong ball in the gas tank. It pulls and pulls then gets clogged completely. When it gets completely clogged it chokes out and the pressure is released since there is less/no demand for the pump to operate. Due to a lack of suction the clog loosens and allows water to come back in to the pump allowing the problem to stop long enough to 'disengage' the alarm and then the rpms go back up since the pump now is able to pull an acceptable amount of water. J For it to "measure" pressure it needs a transducer. There isn't one. For instance, it will run just fine without the water line connected at all. Obviously it has no flow then... Well shit........I was looking at it as if a truck got its exhaust choked out by an empty tin can or something. J If it were exhaust or gas I'd understand, but a water intake? It isn't akin to someone squeezing your radiator hose closed either as the water pump would basically just run empty when it happens.

  10. Why not just buy a screen? The Ipad screen isn't anything special and if you are already using a HTPC there is no need. I still am not sure of the question...

    So I am confused and need motorhead help. My boat had an interesting problem. If I ran 5000rpm's for 5-10minutes it would all of sudden shut off (or at least severely drop in rpm's) sound the ecu warning buzzer, shutter and then rev back up. Sometimes it would shut completely off. Acted exactly like it was running out of fuel, had water in the gas, or air in the line. So the fix was that I cleaned the raw water intake screen. WTF?? Basically it is an open cooling system so it pulls water from the lake via a pump. After this pump there is a little screen to prevent things from going into the motor. I pulled some weeds out of that screen. There was no over temperature or flow issue according to the gauges on the dash so why was the ECU shutting the boat off or was this a mechanical hiccup? I seriously don't get it and would like to understand. No way, no how would my troubleshooting have found that. Found it on a Malibu forum, but I didn't believe it would do jack shit. It did...

    Oh and if by dry you mean FUCKING WAY overcooked then indeed gross.

    You can make scrambled eggs in the pan I linked. Uber cheap for a real pan as well. SUPER nonstick, but no dumb ass coating. You treat it more or less like cast iron. I have a 10" and a 4". 4" is for what I call caviar crepe's

    Means you eat a few, but that is okay and well worth it. Thinner is better.

    The only other question is do you like yours cook on both sides and folded like the restaurants do or the real way which is uber thin and the goodies embedded. As a reference, I make 3/4 egg omelettes

    Throw any nonstick bullshit you have away. The ONLY use for nonstick is to SLOWLY reheat something. Even then it isn't usually a benefit. I have an AllClad teflon pan that gets used once or twice a year....and usually by my wife.

    Said real pan: http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-10-25-Carbon/dp/B001VH6UYG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338901560&sr=8-2

    Agreed. I always joke I can lose 5 pounds in 10 minutes. A gallon would require some serious effort to get to again, but a 1/2gal isn't so unusual for me. I've got a monster bladder. Definitely getting weaker/smaller with age, but I also try less to torment it as I realize some day it will fail. I can easily cover 300 miles and 4 beverages without stopping. In high school I'd drink a good portion of a 12 pack and drive for 3 hours and not stop. For me it all depends on the beverage and time. Once the seal is broken I have a bladder like a damn kid. The worst for me is piss tests. I can never piss on command. I'm usually there for a good hour. J Just turn in a sperm sample next time
  21. I use a Droid as the headunit in my boat. Not sure what your question is though. Was super easy. Boat is full active as well. There is no need for Toslink on the Droid, I haven't tested the Ipad's outputs but the ones on my Droid are ruler flat and distortion free all the way up to max output. Not the highest voltage out, but that I am not concerned about.

    You have a piss bucket, or something close by? That's about an average piss for me. Okay, not average but not twice average. I've never measured my piss before. Never start a sentence with but, so I won't, but I do drink a lot throughout the day. I'll have to borrow my neighbor's measuring cup tomorrow. Measuring cup? ROFL. I won a bet in college filling up a gallon apple juice jug. I'd obviously fill, dump, and repeat. Duh! I thought you knew this! What did you win, a BJ afterwards, or a high five? Case of beer

    Cider hangover = mega ouch. That's a gallon of pedialite and 4 ibuprofen and back to bed kinda hang over. I feel more rested and better than I have in weeks.
