Welcome to the IHoP

Sweet. Looks like even if I can't get the router setup correctly I can still stream it outside the local network, and have the phone connect to the router ip (via internet)->port forward to PC.

I'm thinking of something on two wheels, but I don't have a death wish.

I would love something two wheeled, but my balance isn't always great, I have a thing for speed, and for saying to myself 'okay I took the curve at 55 last time, lets try 65. That 35 mph sign is for bad weather/pussies/women.' and that is a recipe for death.

J

I never even thought of that. My sinuses are always so fucked up, my equillibrium is often in it's own world. Would make riding a bike rather, uh, challenging. Fuck it, four wheels it is.

One of my ears was plugged for several months, and riding the dirt bike became a bit tricky.

Which may not be cold to some, but after swimming in the 80+ temps and sunshune last week it sure is cold to me!

It's in the 60's here.. BRR it was 110+ when I first got here lol...

Where are you deployed to?

Qatar

If things pan out right, I should be in Saudi Arabia in January. Would be cool if you could visit, as I'm staying almost a week but I won't have a vehicle

My Christmas present from me to me was a Motorola Milestone. In poor cosmetic condition but it was $80

I found one in perfect cosmetic condition, without a battery and speaker, for $19, if only I can convince the seller to ship here...

[Adrian_D 520]

Just 2 days after I read about S.DeYoung's W140, I find one locally for $1200, with the 3.0 diesel, needing quite a bit of TLC, nothing too difficult though. Only problem is the original owner can't be contacted, so a possible paperwork mess

Would be cool to buy it, fix it and sell it for much more

She hurled for just under 12 hours.

I hope I don't have it again. I have given Sean enough sig worthy material lately. I don't need round 2 of this.

Ha!

Go from getting sick, to passing in and out of consciousness. No bueno.

[sandt38 448]

Almost 7" of snow and still coming down heavy!

Keep that shit. We got 3" and the idiots on the road are driving me nuts.

No, send it to me. I've got another good hour worth of work to do on the sled, but that can be done by 8am if needed.

Two little stupid problems. Smashed o-ring in the carb to seal up the float needle which caused the flooding add no fuel shutoff and you are wet. TPS sensor plug installed backwards.

Fucking drain means pulling the engine. Pulled carb, reeds, plugs, and exhaust and tipped on her side in every which way and pulled recoil until she stopped spitting. Letting her air out overnight.

*wondering if I should squirt some oil anywhere before starting her up. Oil was premixed at about 100:1 for insurance purposes since I had pulled the oil lines and didn't trust my arbtrary oil pump calibration. Figured a shot down the plugs and through the reeds and a few pulls before turning on the ignition may be a good idea if the gas washed everything down. Even though my guess is that 100:1 is way more than needed to keep everything okay as long as I let it idle and get happy.

I would put some oil in the cylinder and crank it for a bit with the fuel off and plus out. If the walls are wasked the rings will never seal and you will have no compression. Just a tablespoon of oil will add a quick seal to the rings and cranking it with the plug out will allow it to toss the excess and disperse the oil throughout the cylinder.

Seth, any idea how they rate single wire thermostat transducers for cars. 93-96 Dodge full size truck. I just took it's resistance at 4 different temperatures and it is obviously logarithmic...

Perhaps it isn't the best use for it, but they had it there today and the sled runs between 100-140F usually so it isn't that far off.

Sure. I view scan data. Most manufacturers use an input of 5 volts reference, and we see what is typically a logarithmic voltage at the ECM. Some use dual stage sensors which can be tricky.

Fortunately for you, you know someone with a ton of info available to them . Here is the resistance chart for you.

[sandt38 448]

I guess I should state the figures are in ohms.

Seth is that your new scanner?

Snow blowers running all over the neighborhood. I like my trusty shovel.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Wishing I took the day off today.

[nem 2,019]

I am off until Jan 1st.

[nem 2,019]

I guess it is time to go shovel out. I do have a nice snowblower, but by the time I get it at my fil's house I will be done shoveling.

Parts are quite expensive. What I would give to have a diesel W140. If you can find one in the states they are ridiculously expensive. It would be a fun project if you have the means to take it on.

What's the easiest way to stream music from PC to Android device via home wifi?

]

I use(d) Orb which is an online service.. When I used it, it was free and worked pretty well.. You could access it on your PS3, Android, PC, Whatevs.

I'll check it out, thanks.

Are you trying to do this remotely or in your wireless space? ie, cloud or your own storage. If it is your own I'd bet the Squeeze suite has an app for that. Haven't looked as I just use the Droid to control my Squeezebox and volume in any room in the house. On the road I carry 128gb of music that I've stripped my collection down to but that is a pretty reasonable amount.

Room A = PC with music files. Want to be in room B, and listen to music from my android phone. I've been swapping music around on the microsd card on the phone, but it's becoming a PITA due to the usb cable continually cutting out (which is weird since I've never ever had that happen). Perhaps it would be easier to just buy a 32gb microsd card.

Is your Droid the source or the control (or both)? Can you run a direct wire?

The Windows PC is the music source, and I want to use the android phone to connect to the PC for the music. Whether the phone can control which music is being played, or if it simply connects to streaming music--either route is fine with me, but I need to get the stupid router figured out now. No direct wire.

I would just Google it. I know I did it at one poin, but forgot how. There should be at least 2 free useful options.

Every time it snows I have ~150ft of sidewalk to clear. Plus 2 driveways. Good cardio work

Not going to do it because of 2 things:

1. Unclear paperwork

2. One of my heads cracked and I will have to spend money on the Jeep.

Speaking of nr 2, it looks like the TDI swap has very very high chances of being accepted as road legal, as long as I keep power less than 40% more than the most powerful engine installed by the factory and keep the original mounting points. Should be easy, the TDI is 100-130 hp and the 4.0 is around 180 hp.

Time to clean-up the bike, I went riding today and with all the snow melting, there's not a single part of the bike which isn't dirty

[Adrian_D 520]

Flipping the W140 would still be tons of fun as a project...

Sweet. Should be better than the Nexus One.

I LOVE having a keyboard

Seth is that your new scanner?

That is actually my work laptop, but I have the same information on the SnapOn scanner (Verus) I bought 6 months ago. My new scanner (the Maxidas) is not quite that powerful or well appointed. I use SnapOn's Shopkey information system which is essentially Mitchell. But the Verus scanner runs windows.
