I plan on selling my DRZ, but not until the 954 is sitting next to it rideable.

 

no worries brotha. I was a huge monstrous back then - well a lot more of a squid than I am now anyway.

 

new transmission is in and bolted up to the engine
new lines are done and connected at both ends

homemade crossmember from the old tranny bolts to the new one as expected, so i just gotta make new mounts for it on the frame rails. and im gonna go do that now. after this project the air ratchet is competing with my bench grinder/wire wheel for my favorite tool. its been the wire wheel for years, but im really liking this new ratchet

ok back to work

 

the first day i met you, i did laugh to myself when i say your gixxer, especially cuz of the darwin bars. but after watching you ride for 5 minutes and crash that 6 million dollar pos, i could tell you werent a poser

 

Well hurry the Fu(k up so I can ****** that thing up and make some wheelies!

 

crossmember is in. that was easy. thats what i like about this truck, everything's easy

 

next up:

shift linkage, and driveshaft. i should probably replace the pinion u joint but i dont have a press to pop it out

 

Will probably be in the spring.

 

Blast from the past:

hammer and a couple sockets should do the job just use one socket thats smaller than the ujoint to hammer it out and use a socket bigger than the ujoint to support the drive shaft ..

unless it's the factory ujoint , if it is some times they used to inject plastic in the groove so you may need a torch to heat it up , it doesnt take alot of heat so dont go making it cherry red just lightly heat it and you will see the plastic squirt out the hole they injected it into ...

probably not original though considering the age of the truck..

 

i havent taken a good look at it yet, thats gonna be my project for tomorrow

 

I also have to learn how to adjust my carb. started the truck the other night time and i noticed the headers glow. i dont think they used to though, hmm. all ive done recently to the engine is back off the timing a little.

 

ok according to google the timing adjustment might be the cause

 

or a vacuum leak, which i do believe i have one right now since my old tranny had a vaccuum operated somethign or other and my new one doesnt. im pretty sure i forgot to plug up that hose. cool, stuff to do for tomorrow

 

I musta crashed taht gixxer probably 20 x in the first 5 minuts of meeting you lol

 

yes and they were the kind that send your body to the ground not just the bike

Ice Chunk Larger Than Manhattan Breaks Off Greenland Glacier





livescience.com – Fri Aug 6, 4:50 pm ET
A chunk of ice four times the size of Manhattan has calved from Greenland's Petermann Glacier, scientists announced today.

The last time the Arctic lost such a large chunk of ice was in 1962.

"In the early morning hours of August 5, 2010, an ice island four times the size of Manhattan was born in northern Greenland," said Andreas Muenchow, associate professor of physical ocean science and engineering at the University of Delaware.

Satellite imagery of this remote area at 81 degrees north latitude and 61 degrees west longitude, about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) south of the North Pole, reveals that Petermann Glacier lost about one-quarter of its 43-mile- (70-km-) long floating ice-shelf.

Trudy Wohlleben of the Canadian Ice Service discovered the ice island within hours after NASA's MODIS-Aqua satellite took the data on Aug. 5, at 8:40 UTC (4:40 EDT), Muenchow said.

Petermann Glacier, the parent of the new ice island, is one of the two largest remaining glaciers in Greenland that terminate in floating shelves. The glacier connects the great Greenland ice sheet directly with the ocean.

The new ice island has an area of at least 100 square miles (260 square kilometers) and a thickness up to half the height of the Empire State Building, which is 1,454 feet (443 meters) from the ground to the top of its lightning rod.

"The freshwater stored in this ice island could keep the Delaware or Hudson rivers flowing for more than two years. It could also keep all U.S. public tap water flowing for 120 days," Muenchow said.


The island will enter Nares Strait, a deep waterway between northern Greenland and Canada where, since 2003, a University of Delaware ocean and ice observing array has been maintained by Muenchow with collaborators in Oregon, British Columbia, and England.

"In Nares Strait, the ice island will encounter real islands that are all much smaller in size," Muenchow said. "The newly born ice-island may become land-fast, block the channel, or it may break into smaller pieces as it is propelled south by the prevailing ocean currents. From there, it will likely follow along the coasts of Baffin Island and Labrador, to reach the Atlantic within the next two years."

The last time such a massive ice island formed was in 1962 when Ward Hunt Ice Shelf calved a 230 square-mile (600 square-km) island, smaller pieces of which became lodged between real islands inside Nares Strait. Petermann Glacier spawned smaller ice islands in 2001 (34 square miles, or 88 square km) and 2008 (10 square miles, or 26 square km). In 2005, the Ayles Ice Shelf disintegrated and became an ice island (34 square miles) about 60 miles (97 km) to the west of Petermann Fjord.

 

We're fuct

 

Polar ice melting =more water=buy a boat.

 

So in mafia wars vegas im to the point where i have more money than i can use, so i find some armor to buy thats 30 Attack 37 Defense. I bought 7 of them, 1 at a time, so i could track my stats going up. With every one I bough, defense went up between 20 and 100 points, yes 100 points. Attack however, fluctuated even worse, sometimes it actually went down, which is technically not possible. ******* Zynga math again.
