  1. Huge props to John for seeing this thing through. Seriously a ton of work. Thank you John.
  2. Car is sold. Locking thread per user request.
  3. Issue is resolved.
  4. I've opened a ticket.
  5. It was nice meeting you today Carle. Wish it was under better circumstances.
  6. Huge loss . Scott was a good friend and a great individual. Always always kept in touch with me and my family. Incredibly sad day.
  7. Hello All I just learned Dennis Brunton passed away. I'm sure most of you know, or know of Dennis. He founded Stalker. Prayers to Dennis and his family.
  8. What's your dad's name?
  9. Love the design. Nice job.
  10. What are you seeing exactly?
  11. This issue is fixed.
  12. They're investigating. It's basically a bitcoin mining script... your machine is earning someone a few pennies. sigh...
  13. Just got the notice. opening ticket. thanks

    Eddie, I tried very hard to come visit you the week before last, but alas weather did not cooperate. I took off from Houston hoping Wichita Falls visibility would improve, but the clouds didn't budge and I headed back to Houston. Perhaps one of these days I'll make it to your shop.
  15. You can never have enough saws, hammers and chisels.
  16. A deflecting beam torque wrench really doesn't go out of calibration - although it's tough to use in tight spaces I guess. Just make sure whatever you use, you're not near the top or bottom of the measurement range.
  17. we got a bunch of TX members... hope all are safe.
  18. All, Michael D got us this contact. Rock Auto requested permission before posting. They will provide us coupon codes from time to time. Thanks.
  19. Dermot, congrats on getting Skip's car!
  20. man, if only I had some extra cash laying around...
  21. I've noticed in my hobbies passengers are hard to hear
  22. You guys should reach out to PK Surveyor
  23. http://www.upi.com/Science_News/2017/04/17/Physicists-create-fluid-with-negative-mass/9381492444496/ April 17 (UPI) -- A team of physicists at Washington State University have created a fluid that ignores Isaac Newton's Second Law of Motion. The fluid has "negative mass." When it's pushed it accelerates backwards. Almost all matter in the universe obey's Newton's second law -- matter accelerates in the direction of the force applied to it. The new fluid does the opposite. "With negative mass, if you push something, it accelerates toward you," Michael Forbes, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Washington State, said in a news release. The liquid consists of rubidium atoms cooled to a temperature barely greater than absolute zero. The cooled atoms formed a Bose-Einstein condensate, a phase of matter characterized by slow-moving particles that behave like waves. The matter behaves like a superfluid, meaning its particles move in unison without sacrificing energy. Researchers used lasers to cool the liquid in a tiny bowl. When scientists broke the bowl, the rubidium atoms rushed outwards. Scientists applied a second set of lasers to alter the spin of the out-rushing atoms. As a result, the atoms took on negative mass. "Once you push, it accelerates backwards," said Forbes. "It looks like the rubidium hits an invisible wall." Researchers say their latest experiments -- detailed in the journal Physical Review Letters -- were simpler and offered greater control over negative mass than previous attempts. "What's a first here is the exquisite control we have over the nature of this negative mass, without any other complications," said Forbes. The success may allow for exploration of strange phenomena like black holes and neutron stars.
  24. some good ones in there :cheers:
