old news...already posted that in my Yelly thread. There are several areas in the park that need a little attention...steam vents opening up in the middle of parking lots, etc. Just comes with the territory[/QUOTE]

Just got it on the web....guess dial up is too slow

 

Dial up?

 

Something other then hi speed

 

I need some rain here too... It's supposed to be in the high 80's all week. Thankfully it cools off plenty at night

 

So the people who don't understand the NW say. Summer is zero rain from July until October

 

Debating on tearing the front end off my truck today... camber bolts are seized and my coilovers look like the were found in the Atlantic

 

Do it. At least you have a second car to drive. I need to get me a commuter car so I can tear the truck apart when I need to.

 

I want an FR-S for my commuter car.

 

I need the money for the BR-Z...

 

88 honda accord

Good ole beater honda, cheap and semi reliable haha. Waterpump went out weds and i replaced in Oreillys parking lot. Already replaced the entire susp and steering system

 

why the BR-Z over the FR-S?

 

I like having options. Interior can be changed. You can get more than a basic radio. You can get different badging options. I just don't want a plain car... I want to be able to select more than the color.

 

I didn't know that Subaru offered that many more options that the FR-S. The are basically the same thing so either would be a blast. I wonder which dealer would give me the better deal.

 

Woot for 2-1/2 day weekend!


Work was slow today and I have so much PTO time I said screw it and left early.

 

Meant to write you back at work, but wanted to get my stuff done so I could come home and sit in front of a computer

I'm actually just eating lunch then heading out to work on me Taco.

I have never seen a insulated glass unit (AKA: IGU) put together so poorly in all of my career. Some of those were homemade and the ones that weren't were still built like poo and had capillary tubes in them

Here is what PPG says about capilary tubes in a PDF

This is what a properly built IGU looks like:

• Has a primary and secondary seal

• Spacer that has multiple rows of large vent holes

• Spacer is not 'cut' at the corners it is bent and only has one seam found in the lower middle of the unit

• Spacers are filled to the max with quality desiccant that's stored in a low humidity environment until the unit is fully sealed and cured.
• NO BS capillary tubes

 

Went on another job interview this morning, looks pretty good. They are on maintenance shut down this week and want me to come in next Wednesday when the place is in operation. Close to home, about 16 miles.
