Always call Nuclear Cat for the removal of rat Trolls.

“Acts up” is when I find myself with “acid refux,” pain, or just plain “indigestion.” The Cayenne will quell whatever is going on. If I can’t get to the Cayenne in my kitchen, I’ll settle for spicy Mexican food at the nearest Mexican restaurant. Tabasco is NOT a cure!
Intercooler for a VeeDub is a short fancy way of saying that fluid from the transmission is heated by the engine coolant up to operating temperature THEN kept at that temperature by the cooling system.
The intercooler istelf is a stacked plate block with four fluid openings and several passages inside that resembles a scaled down version of a powerplant heat exchanger.
Transmission fluid comes in, and exchanges heat/cold with the engine coolant.
In a B-17, I’m not certain what it would be as it may be entirely different in an aviation setting.
LoM too.
... except to give me a taste for good wines. Which are not necessarily all from France...Moselle is a case in point.
Agreed completely. Germans make excellent wines. And don't forget that Shiraz (in US: Petit Sirah? Syrah?) had its origin in Iran (and where else but... Shiraz?) but is now grown in Australia.
And/or the desire to fight for what I believe in...which may or may not be French in origin.”
The French don't have a lock on that, but they have it too.
Hm! I don't experience those often, but it's interesting that cayenne works and Tabasco doesn't. (Then again, I've never looked into the "chemistry" of these.)
Thanks!
It sounds like we have two very different kinds of systems given a common name. Thanks!
Welcome!
The VeeDubs have had something they’ve called an intercooler for the transmission for awhile.
Oddly, it seems to be referred to as a heat exchanger by others.
“I hate the French.” - that’s strong stuff, ‘Face!
I happen to have French ancestry as recent as my great grandfather and he was no coward (in fact he earned a Croix De Guerre). Nor were any of the French people I grew up knowing in post WWII Europe cowards - all were members of the Résistance and many had family members killed by the Germans. I admit there are some idiots among the French, most of whom wrote very depressing stuff in the 19th and early 20th Century. But France gave us Madame Curie, Blaise Pascal, Alexis De Tocqueville and the Marquis De La Fayette for starters. The USA would not have survived the British had it not been for the French. So, please, when you spout off about hating the French, remember me. Thanks.
Oh, and BTW, the best wines of French origin are available only in France - they don’t send them abroad. They don’t travel or store well because they have no sulfites.
PS: There are no good German red wines, period. Whites, on the other hand, are excellent. I recommend a Piesporter Goldtropfchen - if you can get it, a Riesling Spätläse.
LoM, my dear sister!
Because the French are so rampant in my history, I really can’t ignore them. Especially the intelligent French.
The US of A was founded on people seeking freedom, for whatever reason, and therefore, I don’t “hate” any nationality. The reason is my heritage. I’m a mongrel.
Half of my ancestors were here to meet the other half. From the Mayflower and the Anne, backwards, I’ve met people I never thought I could know.
Since I don’t like red wines, there is no contest. Whites, however, will have to fight the taste buds. Spending almost two years in Germany, white wines and pilsner beers are the drinks of my heart!!
The latter wine you mentioned (Piesporter Reisling, without the accents!) is one of the most awesome wines I’ve ever tasted!
They’ll be in Seattle, too, but I dunno if I’ll be underway or not. So I may see them twice. If not, I can always take leave and fly across the country then drive four hours.
Yeah, always! It's only about 2-1/2 hours to Asheville. I could go visit FRiends up there and drink, while you and Bill see Turisas. When are you going underway again? And I need your birth certificate, an address, and your measurements. And did you get an email from USAA? They'll drop you if you don't play ball on claims, and then you'll have to pay for really expensive insurance instead of concerts.
Are you getting any mail there? I finished the crossword in “First Things” on Wednesday night in about an hour.
I jnew that!
Of course *you* wouldn’t expect a monkey ;-0>
LOL!
Sigh. Up at 4:30, with no light outside until 7:30, and not much reason to be into the office by 8 because the air system is still not working. But at least the body clock is moving in the right direction now, and I got around to repacking my travel kits slightly, as I'd planned for days.
OTOH for some strange reason the batteries in the MP3 player and new cellphone were both discharged.
But really bad news -- Dino Rossi conceded to Sen. Patsy Murray. Good guy but didn't run hard enough. Politically he is toast now.
Sad news, sionnsar. Have you considered that someone in your house has a negative electric charge?
Somehow, the humor of that pic was much cleverer using the lynx.
Absolutely. Such a handsome kitteh, too.
