    I was going to make a graph of the 2 stroke HFRR at different ratios. From this http://mopar.mopar1973man.com/cummins/general/2-cycle-oil/hfrr/hfrr.htm I know that 2 stroke at 200:1 is HFRR 474 and regular #2 is 636. So I can do some generalizing and figure out a formula by using the 162 difference between the two HFRR's, I can say that 400:1 would have an HFRR with a difference of half that, so 162/2=81, 636-81=555. Now that you know how I have it calculating, I will show you the stats and you can see the issue I run into at the bottom.

    On the way down I went all the way down I55 down the side of Missouri all the way to the boothill. I recall Dorkweed showing me it was flat and I just couldn't believe how flat it actually is. You could literally trash the level and build your house making sure it was equal length above ground on all sides and it would be level I got some pics and 2 of them have this green crap that seems to be a parasite. I don't know if anyone has seen the new (older now I guess) GI Joe movie where the bomb makes everything have that grassy stuff on it before eating it all away, but this stuff was just like that. It covered EVERYTHING. The ground, the trees, it engulfed it. …

    So I thought I would share for those of use who use an impact wrench to make life a little easier. My hands are shot so when I wrench on my cars I tend to use power tools where possible to lessen the strain on my hands. I was using a Kobalt 350 ft/lbs wrench but the thing is fairly heavy and doesn't make that much power. Don't get me wrong it works well for it's intended purpose and actually is quite a bit better than any Campbell Hausfeld or Harbor Freight cheapies (i.e. $40 or less.) So I purchased a composite NitroCat 1200k after reading some reviews on them. Ultimately I was shocked at how much power it had using an older 120v 20-gallon compressor. Ho…

    One thing that XP had that windows vista/7 doesn't is that menu bar. But I found out if I hit F10 it will come up, but once you touch it, it disappears again. How do I make that thing stay unhid so I don't have to click F10 every single time?

  16. I got the mod added to the forum now so all you guys with Blackberries, iphones, etc can now surf the site with ease and good speed. I had CajFlynn test it out this evening and he said it worked excellent. So here is what you need to make it work for you... 1. Go to www.tapatalk.com and download the app for your phone. 2. Log back in to the forum and enjoy... The Tapatalk app signals the forum to display in a miniture format that is designed for phones and like CajFlynn said it good and fast now compared to the old system.

    Had a bad experience today with a pit bull... Anybody else dealt with these things? I run about 6 ~ 8 miles everyday after I get out of class, takes me about an hour usually. Today, about 4 miles in, I had the pleasure of experiencing what it feels like when confronted by a charging pit bull. Idiot owners were sitting on their front porch even, and just watched! Anyway, as soon as I saw the beast running and growling toward me I said "Oh snap," and decided it was time to reverse my direction of travel and increase speed. I guess that fueled it's fire and it decided that it was the dominant male or something. It caught up with me and grabbed my shirt, I thought it was goin…
