Colorado B.S. Thread

Flexing my brain muscles here... I have a degree in Clinical Laboratory Science and had to do similar stuff as this in biochemistry class. I still had to google a couple of the terms though! The analyzers I've used have most of the processes automated so while I studied the science behind it, I don't get to see it actually happen and just see the end results.

Basically they liquified the plant matter, isolated the swainsonine by solid phase extraction (making multiple liquid solutions based upon what chemical property they are trying to isolate), detected and measured it by reverse HPLC which is a special method of HPLC which is too confusing to answer lol (involves using silica particles that are hydrophobic blah blah blah). And then used a fancy method of mass spectrometry which measure the mass-to-charge ratio of ions which helps identify and quantify the chemical compound as well. Just backed up their results using another methodology. After that, I don't care much about plants so I'll let you interpret the rest lol!

Done geeking out...

 

Anybody have any insight on my last picture? one of my bushings is leaking grease! is that normal?!

 

It might cause premature wear with all the grease gone, maybe a squeak also being dry. Rusts imo

 

you guys consider bad to be under 15? Shit thats light speed here .... I am going to love CO

 

X2 I went in 2010 got a rental car to move around and wow did I miss colorado lol

 

my lower boot is also showing signs of wear...definitely something to keep an eye on and if you see too much coming out, then you should look into getting the lower ball joint repaired...

if you're ever down in lakewood, swing by stevinson and see if jace can put the truck up for examination...hard to beat the opinion of a certified toyota tech...

 

Anyone in here sell car insurance. My fiancé needs insurance just until we are married. Usaa won't put her on my policy till we are married.

 

USAA will, say she's your fiance.

At least that's what I did

 

I did. And I've had them since I was 15.

 

I've had 'em since I was 16 or so, love 'em. I have a TON of accounts with them too!

I didn't have any problems putting significant other on insurance tho, just put her down as my fiance... Hopefully that works for ya.

 

Yeah will have to call them.

 

So anyone here get the ultragauge? I got mine today and got some problems already haha (I read the manual and did what it said to do, but the fix is temporary)

 

Nope, I can't help you there. I've been running my Torque app + bluetooth dongle since a couple days after the day I talked about it in this thread but I don't think I'm legally able to talk about it anymore.

 

Oh its you again let me go get arghhh over here lmao

 

I met him in person arrrghhh is alright in my book lol


Any one seen quentin tarantino's DeathProof when stuntman pulls out "The book" lol
