Someone stole my windshield wipers

Haters gonna hate.

I guess lol... Here in AZ we don't need them often, today I was driving and tried to clean my windshield with the wipers and they weren't there haha. I seriously didn't know what to think, who does that shit?

I don't know but that's pretty funny......going to keep that one in my back pocket for the next time I'm really drunk.

I'm sure my face was priceless when the little arms slid across my windshield haha.

<- Just got new wipers--for "free."

DAMMIT Stefan!

[ssh 924]

Had to go through a carwash to test them bad boys out.

That being said if I had to make a meat loaf it'd be either of asian flare or greek/turk.

Expand please.

 

Lamb -> Kabob - parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, clove, mint (probably google shish, sheekh, kofta etc)

Beef, Duck -> Laab - mint, lime, fish sauce, chile

Pork -> pseudo dumpling style - ginger, garlic, scallion, soy

Obviously other derivations utilizing soy, hoisin, yogurt, lemon, fish sauce and so on can work too.

Exacly what I was looking for. I needed a push towards flavor profile. Asain might be the way I go just for a giggle. Hoison, soy, garlic, onion and ginger. Play it safe for a first try.

How can I make roasted taters Asian flavored though?

 

Fry them in a pan of dog meat!!!

Sean, what are the details on your home security. I'll have a solid internet connection at my house (50 Mbps) so it will be possible.

Huh? What does internet have to do with home security and what are you looking for?

Assumed you need solid Internet for a remote connection.At the least I'm looking for door and window sensors and some loud ass alarms. Ability to call cops, and or fire dept is good.Remote video surveillance would be cool, any other form of home automation is also a plus.

You need a fast enough connection to equal RS232 Mine was all serial for a while.The actual sensors are even on a slower bus. You don't need millions of times per second as milliseconds don't matter. What you do need is something hardwired to every single entry. Wireless stuff sucks IMO.

Hmmm well I have a basement a crawl space. But that's a hell of a lot of work. What kind of sensors do you use on the windows and how do they install? Do you use GSM?

Sexy quad Sandt!

used to have a Suzuki ltz400 and I loved that thing. One buddy had a yfz450 bored out and the other a bored out Honda tr440ex. Was jumping 50 foot tables and had a nice track. Ended up trading it for a nissan 240sx. Might have to buy a new quad soon.

Double fried with sweet & sour or hot mustard

Going to make an all beef meatloaf tonight, and fingerling, blue, and purple potatoes.

Give me some ideas for how to flavor the meatloaf.

<--never had a meatloaf he liked

*in a classic sense of the word

Everyone I make meatloaf for seams to love it when I make it. Usually no or little bread or crackers. Depending on the flavors I want to add to it and how wet they are.

I haven't had very many. A pile of ground meat without a bunch of yummy things with it isn't so exciting. More than willing to try though, I like to eat!

Exactly. It is comfort food and in that respect fantastic. I also make it with the hope I have leftovers as I adore meatloaf sandwiches.

I just elivate it from extreme poverty food, to a flavor explosion. Tons of herbs and garlic. Eggs to bind it and keep it moist. If I can get my own grinder I would add pork belly. If I want to impress myself I will use buffalo, veal, and fatty pork. Sage sausage is a good one.

It definitely isn't magical, but it will umammi the fuck out of your mouth when done right.

And as a sandwich topping I am right there with you. Needs a carb or something to make it magical. Of course, if it is something you grind yourself and can eat rare then I'd absolutely munch it like a steak.

Cummins and Peterbilt have created a new demonstration tractor trailer that boasts a 54 percent increase in fuel economy over current trucks. This particular Class 8 Peterbilt 587 uses a high-efficiency Cummins ISX15 engine and managed to average 9.9 miles per gallon over 11 runs over the 312-mile route between Fort Worth and Vernon, TX with a gross combined weight of 65,000 pounds.

 

 

Fucking wow

Do people on forums complain of inside wheel lift in the corners?

Curious, morons on the snowmobile forums want a bump compliant sled and then they bitch that it handles likes shit. In reality they drive like pussies and no shit dealing with bumps means a higher CG.

I pulled wires. And no, not GSM. It'd be a proprietary bus, ie radio frequency, that works like shit is one directional and developed in the 70's. I'm sure someone has come up with something akin to GSM, but adding one at each window would be uber spendy. Stupid $2 wireless sensors are $50 so you can do the math.

In home automation wireless or even only one way communication is the devil's spawn. Can completely fuck up all your programming.

[MKader17 332]

I would highly consider pulling wires. I just have no idea where t start looking for DIY Home security

My truck is gonna be used in a county music video tomorrow. Got the wheels done black with the chrome beauty rings and caps on. Thinking of putting some fat white walls on her and dropping another inch. That may be what's sets this one apart from most. A 275/60/15 is stuck in my mind.

What video Lee?

[EPerez 236]

X2^^^ what music video??

Same as car audio. Need to understand your goals before I can really help. In fact WAY more confusing than car audio.

Any of you guys heard anything about "Rainbow" vacuums? I might start selling them in the near future, dunno yet.

they use technology from the 80's with the water inside of the vacuum. idk, I wouldn't want one

Not really from what I have seen. But I think most people know to expect this. You can get wider axle and front control arms to help. But most of the forums I go to are MX racing forums, and those guys expect wheel lift.

[sandt38 448]

Oh, and FWIW some "sport" bikes, like the Honda TRX700XX utilize 4 wheel independent suspensions, but these tend to be more of a trail bike (think utility ATV) and they handle like shit when they are pushed.

 

 

http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/549/6414/Motorcycle-Article/2010-Honda-TRX700XX-vs-Yamaha-Raptor.aspx

 

When designing the TRX700XX the Honda
crew decided to take the road less traveled. The question is, “should
they have?” The murdered-out TRX is a definite departure from
conventional sport quad thinking. Honda engineers did away with the
straight rear axle and swingarm found on the majority of sport ATVs, replacing it with double wishbone independent rear suspension. With two Baja 1000 wins they must have gotten it right. Right?



The short answer is, “sort of.” The suspension works well in some
situations and is sub-par in others. Let’s get into where it excels
first. If you spend most of your time smashing through uneven, choppy
terrain while sitting down, this is the ride for you. The fully
independent rear suspension works wonders in situations where one wheel
is being shoved towards the sky while the other is dropping into a hole.
The shocks are plush and soak up stutter bumps and rocky sections very
well. You can even sit down through most of it. It’s really does shine
in this respect, but so does the Rincon
for that matter - Honda’s big-bore utility quad. There lies the
problem. When you buy a sport ATV you want to be able to do more than be
comfortable in the chunky bits. There’s jumping, bombing through whoops
and power-sliding to consider. If you want to sit down and plunk around
in the rocks, Big Red offers other options, and with 4WD.

I'd figure the same for those buying an "aggressive trail sled" but it seems that the ass draggers from the past that had no suspension have soured their views on how they use their body in corners. Was curious if it translated to land as well. I suppose the old 3 wheelers set the precedence though and although they couldn't lift it required body english to control.

[///M5 2,833]

Analogy of independent holds true on the snow as well. You can have the front half of your track coupled to the rear or not. Ones that are not mean ou get every whoop twice but they give you better ski angle for deep stuff. Ones that are coupled are way better on rough trail. Both fine on smooth obviously.
