I don't know what it is about them; but they are just cool looking. Quiz has already told me she will never get one though. :(

So...in about a month and a half, I can bid adieu to Greensboro. :D :D :D :D I'm going to be Indianapolis based. Better trips, MUCH easier commute, and the possiblity of getting Denver by the end of this year is very very real. :)

My opinion of Quiz has risen higher (as if it wasn't high already). You, on the other hand, are one weird dude. How can someone stabbing themselves thru their flesh, a bunch of times and stringing ribbon thru the stuff they stab themselves with be the slightest bit attractive?? I repeat- EW!

One of my tags has 259 entries, the next highest is only about 30-40. Meaning that only my tag (and 1 other) have a size difference showing frequency of use.

So the cloud is pretty much useless for frequency at the moment. :D

Yep, I am sure someone gets this but not me!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 128: The Search for Wenches

Didn't think it was possible to get worse, until I checked the coolant before trying to start the engine and only found a block of frozen propylene glycol where liquid was supposed to be. Any chance I can get it thawed out over night when the low is supposed to be -30? I didn't think so.

What's the concentration? FP of 50% is -29 F. Got a tank heater? :p

It is 50%, it shouldn't be frozen, but yet it is. Someone probably effed up and topped it off with water at some point, this is what happens when you let other people do stuff. We have a coolant heater, and the block coolant has gotten up to 15 degrees, and the oil pan is up to 22 degrees, we just have no way to thaw the radiator. Overnight we're leaving 2 heaters and 3 heat lamps inside the enclosure (which is insulated), so the only path for heat to escape is past the radiator, hopefully it helps. If not, we're breaking out the Knipco's tomorrow morning.

Pure glycol?

Better start building a tent and get a heater in there. Old timers that work in the woods would build a fire under it. Seen it done. What they do now is use quick connects on heaters hoses form their pickup to the skidder or whatever equipment they want to heat up

50-50, as soon as it is thawed, I'm draining the coolant and going a different direction. I'll just dump straight glycol in if I have to.

Why is it propylene instead of ethylene glycol? Near a water source or something?

We use propylene instead of ethylene because it improves our heat rejection numbers slightly, propylene can dissipate more heat. Which is pointless on this engine, because we're nowhere near our limits.

and that's why you're old and feeble. :p

I dunno, it's just one of those things, you know? I'm also attracted to athletic chicks. Some skinny hooker that weighs 100 lbs is not attractive to me in the slightest, but DL will cream himself just looking at one. It's all a matter of perceptive.

* Tuesdays. I'd post a proper "* Tuesday With..." rant, but I don't want to be banninated. Let's just say my first thought about today involved Dick Winters' corpse, barbed wire, a bic lighter, Zsa Zsa's amputated leg, and Gabrielle Gifford's eye socket. Go ahead, use your imagination. Then multiply the tastelessness of that result by about 30. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 128: The Search for Wenches

FYI. While the freezing point may be near -30, it can certainly freeze above or below this point based on other factors. Even at -28 you could start to see slush.

Got any room on the bus for me?

Evening, Lodge. Had garlic kielbasa with braised red cabbage tonight for dinner, and all I can think of is Tenacious D.
