literally about a 3 minute walk from my house. heard what sounded like gun shots but could of just been fireworks idk nobody here really pops fireworks on the 4th anymore. idk if it's even legal to do so now days. seems like a lot of effort on the cops side though if it really is just nothing cause they are blocking about 2-3 lanes which are busy at all hours of the day.

found some other cool news related stuff XD like some lady here scamming people out of money ( theft basically ) in a travel agent company. 31 accounts they said idk what the total amount if that she stole but 31 cases is a lot to be accused of. then i forgot about the king tides. no idea wth that is but i assume it's like high tide just with more water. think it was last year where they weren't ready for it or something and the streets flooded and fishes started coming into the streets. got videos online of it. this year they seemed to prepare though they added sand. i wouldn't say it's amazing but interesting.

bout to eat some ribs and brisket, and ktfo for work tomorrow morning.

OOO fuck i think i just found a car. cheaper side, 4dr, imo looks nice, moddable without looking like trash.

Cadi baby.. got a few old ones for sale for a decent price with fairly low miles as well. will be saving up for that i guess. any of yall got any experience with old cadi's? reliability and all that shit
If it's older then 2008 stay the fuck away. The Northstar motors in the older models WILL blow a head gasket, they did a redesign around 2006, I think, that took care of that issue. If you blow a headgasket the motor has to come out, through the bottom of the car, to get fixed... If it even can be fixed, usually they need a full rebuild. You're looking at a few grand for just a headgasket job done right, closer to 8-9000 if it needs a basic rebuild. My father had a 99 that we kept pouring bottles of head gasket sealer just to keep it running, I would've burned the fucking thing if it was mine. I fucking love Cadillacs, but you couldn't give me one that's fwd with a Northstar motor. I had a 2009 DTS level 4+, every available option except for power window curtains. It was a nice car, but i started having issues with the HID headlamps and a JUNKYARD replacement was going to be around $800 for ONE headlight assembly. I unloaded that thing quick. If you want a caddy look for one with a LS based motor or the DI V6 and still be prepared to pay Cadillac prices for repairs.

I've machined/fab'd & welded literally hundreds of H/P cylinders from scratch (Mostly Arc), my mantra is grind & clean all starts & stops + I test 100% of them.
Period, no exceptions.

I live in the ring of fire - and BTW have been to the top of Pavlof and Shishaldin Volcanos (top of map).
Not the smartest thing I've done but the view was spectacular!

I don't think volcanoes would bother me as much. I've seen documentaries on the Mount St Helens eruption. At least you get lots of warning and time to evacuate before it goes off. I don't recall having any natural disasters here. My basement flooded once... it was inconvenient.

Jesus I'm exhausted (to exhausted to write a haiku)

So bombardment continued until 3 am and just as I was falling asleep we got a 5.4 and the dogs were up again. I threw in the towel and drug myself downstairs. Hopefully we are done shelling the dogs until New Year's and I only have to deal with ...

Jees things move fast, my company is now registered and It is also registered at the receiver of revenue for tax purposes.
Getting bank account papers and card on Monday. Then I just have the import licence itself to sort out before I can start production.

Lol, it would be funny if I end up making enough money to just buy weed.

I've obviously missed prior info; what are you going to be producing?

LED grow lights. Roughly based on the ones I use for my grows.
I'm targeting the pestering middle of the pack bracket, using slightly older LEDs, That will put down more light than pretty much any of the big name brands for a lot less money. People over here are still buying Mars lights, and I can't have that.

People have been following the pied piper of modified spectrum etc, as I said before I'd rather just take more light.

Been out working in the garage. The truck I was positive had a junk tranny, which I haven't moved in 5-6 weeks, started up, shifted and drove up and down the driveway completely normal. I actually lit up the tire, before you had to floor it to get it to barely move, so that's what I did.. Lol. There's a 40ft black strip on my driveway now. :bigjoint: I don't get it. I'm thinking it's possibly temperature related issue now and not a hard mechanical failure. That's slightly better. I think I read the tranny uses the coolant temp to determine some shifting parameters, so it doesn't overrev the motor cold, etc. and I read about a plastic piston that swells over time and will get stuck when it's cold. All my issues were when the temps were under 65, now it's 85+.Hmmmm:confused:

Then I called Back of America and got some finance charges they applied the day they got my payment waived. When they did that without question, it surprised me more than the truck running right:o.

So now I'm nervous, 2 good things don't usually happen that fast without nature balancing itself out. I did ask my mother to come by to cash a refund check that was issued in her name for me. Oh shit....... :wall::sad:
