I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.
Pictured: Small Bump
What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.
Pictured: Mod hands
Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
Good morning!
Amen ... if you could share some Global Warming I would welcome the warmth. Strangely Cool to Cold Spring.
I don’t like George Clooney, either, but I sure liked “O Brother.”
Good to see you! Whatcha been doing?
66 and clear, for now. Partly cloudy later. *sigh*
New tagline.
Good morning to you, too!
Good to see you too Sg! Have been busy reading and realizing how little I know. LOL
You’re most welcome, my friend.
Thank You for the movie reviews. Perhaps one day will have actual time to view a movie and that would be good. Your reviews will help with making a choice.
Hello, I, me, meself, Am, and Thought! So nice to see y’all again!
Oh! I’m happy to be of assistance. You’re welcome, dears.
Indeed. Relapses are terrible when you’re thinking your pet is out of the woods, and then find yourself with a sick little one again, it’s really tough.
I’m still praying as well.
If I should forget how little I know, there’s always someone around to remind me haha.
It's still a mental work in progress, but it combines several technologies.
Have you noticed that some race cars are stiffened internally by using roll cages? I figured I'd start by using a roll cage as a frame. That is, use tube steel to build the frame of the vehicle, as some light plane frames are made.
Then, rather than waste the storage space that such a shape would provide, I thought I'd use the enclosed volume of the tubes as a place to put compressed air. That would stiffen the frame, and compressed air can be a useful thing to have in a vehicle.
The engine would be the source of the compressed air, using its "brake horsepower" to turn velocity into stored energy. One problem with using cylinder compression to capture energy of motion is where to store the compressed air. That problem is solved by having a tubular frame. See? I'm looking for synergy.
Then of course, the engine and fuel specs would have to be unique as well.
We have a 1985 CJ8 Scrambler that, if and when finances permit, Mr. Sg plans to unite the body and engine, and build a roll cage into it. That’s not gonna happen any time soon, though. I’ll pass your ideas on to him for feasibility consideration (feasible for us, that is). He has already heard about the compressed air concept.
The only reason to have a roll cage for the CJ would be for off-roading, which Jeeps are good for anyway. I doubt you’d need compressed air in any way that a small compressor wouldn’t provide.
I have a jump-box for starting cars and such, with a few other options, one of which is a compressor. It comes in handy for inflating wheels.
Is there anything else you could use the Jeep for? One thing that comes to mind is that we were talking about generators. If Mr. Sg could find or acquire an old welding rig, and maybe incorporate that into the CJ, then he’d have a portable welding rig that could go anywhere, and a vehicle that would have electric power anywhere it went.
Maybe he plans to use it as a towed run-around vehicle for the motor home. Not a bad notion. A good winch might be something to think about, in that case.
Sure.
(From their description:) The no-chemical, no-poison answer to your mosquito and tick problem!
Mosquito Barrier is a very strong liquid garlic made from very potent garlic cloves. The garlic used in Mosquito Barrier is a very powerful variety which is much more potent than the garlic found in grocery stores (in fact, our lab people here refer to it as "super garlic"). Click here see a scientific analysis of Mosquito Barrier. Garlic has a natural sulfur which repels insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not something new, farmers and master gardeners have been doing it for many generations.
Click the 'About ticks' tab to see what they say about them.. (It's on EBay--)
Actually, he has a MIG and an oxyacetylene welder. Why would being able to cart the welding equipment around be good?
Thank you! I had read about an onion-garlic concoction I could brew myself (always wanted to play the second witch in “MacBeth” was it?) but I don’t recall location of instructions. There’s a nicer-sounding vanilla-lavendar oil concoction, but there’s no essential oil source in these boondocks.
One FReeper recommended several tick strategies involving guinea hens, permethrin, moisture prevention—we won’t be able to get the poultry until next year at the earliest, but I did pick up some permethrin at the local ag supply place. Happily, though, they have food-grade diatomaceous earth in 50-lb. bags! (Yay!)
