Haha I've been told it seems! Circular interpolation = G02 sir. And yes I do know a thing or two about four jaw chucks. You'd have to have an awful long work month to spend as much time on a lathe as I have in my life haha. I guess me and Mr EV Porsche need to keep our comments to ourselves from now on lol.

>(heart) OUTCH! I really must take offence to the diaper genie comment. I do not own one. But jeez buddy, I did add at the end of my post to do what Mark said. I'm not a big fan of extra holes on the crank case either. My pride will be OK though, it ain't nuthin drinking a 12 pack while staring at my bike won't cure ;)

I'll try to keep my smart ass comments to myself....I just won't try very hard :P

is that truck chrome?

I was thinking the same thing. But though it's gotta be black. My truck is a black 2004 ford and it shines. All the windows were blacked out til the police told me to fix that.

Adam and Tyler, no arrows here only those little plastic darts with the suction cups. I really was just responding in jest, and I realize that it could be taken the wrong way. Please continue with any and all coments, but be prepaired for the inevitable snap back if you call me a woman or a dumbass. I give as well as I get. If you havn't figured out from my little self portrait, the reason that I go by testarossa is the red head. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me, even if it is all in fun.

Two disadvantages of the internet are the fact that all forms of non-verbal communication are lost, and any words typed are there for infinity to be reconsidered. If you would have been face to face with me on Friday, then you would realize that it wasn't the day to give me shit. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I have a personal promise to myself not to be cowed by any man since my father passed away. Trust me when I say that my shortcomings as a verbal communicator came into play here. I don't get to deal with much verbal conflict in real life. Most people leave me well enough alone when I'm pissed off b/c I'm told that I can be a bit intimidating in person. You guys don't get that, and that's fine. Not my intention to be an internet bully. It's just that I am not used to being antognised in person, so I reacted possibly out of proportion. Mea Culpa.

Relax Josh, I was still kidding around with my last post :silly: ... though its true, I don't own a diaper genie....and I'm still trying to figure out why you had me moving in with my parents :blink: :laugh: Just some good natured jestering.

I was going to retort with something to the effect that if you managed to shear a bolt head off the bottom of your oil pan, you'd have to take all the cooling fins with it. And if that were the case, oil loss would be the least of your concerns. But you put so much effort into your response, I thought perhaps there was something other than Tdub calling you a woman getting ya riled up :whistle:

You are too right about nuances and inflections lost in the written words here. Just know I respect your abilities and knowledge. Without your help my project wouldn't be where it is. B) So, when do we sit down with a 12 pack in the garage?

Nicely said Adam. I feel the same way. Anything I say I say in jest of course, and I know that things can get mixed up over the interwebs. If I didn't live so damn far away I'd be all for that 12 pack in the garage!

Lets go ahead and make it the Four Horsmen B) :P :ohmy: :angry: Glad to hear that everyone is cool. I thought that, but felt like I was walking the tightrope on that response. (I had all weekend to think about it with the Cub Scout dads !Yuck!) I was trying to find a good central meeting place to meet up, but Jesus Tyler. Newfoundland! Could you be any further east. I think that you and Adam could meet in China. I was originially going to say Colorado Springs, Jackson Hole, or Moab. That leaves the Canadian contingent traveling a little far. So what about The Tail of the Dragon, or ??? I have never travelled east, so I don't know. Hell lets just meet in Adam's garage. I wouldn't mind an excuse to travel back to Cali. I'm goin back to Cali, Cali Cali...

I know that anytime I have ever been to Mexico, you can't spit without hitting a canadian on "holiday". While I'd love to have everyone come to Southern Cali(clear and 70F), it might be more fair for all of us to travel....to, say, the Riviera Maya???? I'll have to wait until the baby is a bit older, but I have more than a few people breathing down my neck for another Mexico trip. :woohoo:

Glad to hear you had so much fun camping with the cub scouts; I'm sure all the other dads were super interested in how you were defamed on a website where you're documenting the modernization of a forgotton old, ordinary ricer :laugh:
