The company I work for has one of the bridge wing engine order telegraphs (EOT) that we salvaged from the Lusitania sitting in our reception lounge.

Morning all ... Gotta grab some phoo and run. The days are pretty long right now and I ain't got time to loaf.

Cheers,
PISTOL

 

You're right.

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. This is the day I put a little tin foil under the filter to slow the water down as it passes thru the grounds. I can get almost 5 days out of the same grounds this way, but I forgot to do it last night.

Speaking of tin foil under the filter, does anyone remember Table Talk Pie? Maybe it was a New England thing, but they had little miniature pies that came in a pie tin that would fit perfectly under a coffee filter. I've poked a couple holes in them and used them just for this purpose. I think they're out of business now tho. Tim may know.

Morning all.

Scott, no impact, no idea on the pie...

I'm also not familiar with the Marine's actions in 1904... I'll have to look that one up.

Had a nice day with the wife, things are good so far. Bout to take the kids out for a ride.

Hope everyone has a nice evening

 

Chaikwa, I don't know about Table Talk Pie but what about those little figures that used to come with Red Rose Tea??

Evening y'all!

 

Remind her that although see may see it as gadget issues it's actually the left and right sides working together in perfect unison to allow you to multi-task lake a pro, and, one day it will all end and you won't be able to listen to her and watch the tv at the same time.

That would be too cool!

Scott, I don't remember the little pies but I like the idea.

Evening all.

 

Mornin.
Got the fire going, coffee and such is on. Wife's b-day today, but I stayed home yesterday and pampered her (I think), so today she's on her own...

Hope everyone has a good one, I'm about to get on the scooter and ride to work...

 

Mornin' Mark. Tell Angie Happy Birthday for me please!

C0ffee& ph00 are Marine made & ready!

 

Good Morning Mark and Scott and fellow/fellowette DTRonians.
I had a dream today is Friday and I had a pick up at 7 but slept in. There where lots of calls from work on my cell phone.
As soon as I woke up I grabbed my phone amd checked. No calls. Whew! That felt strange.

The head is off the truck. Found several tell tale signs of coolant seepage on the deck and gasket.
Also found crystalline build up of what I learned from Lil Dog is the remnants of the burn off of the coolant on the edge of the pistons.
Rebuilt head with o-rings is on its way here. Injectors go out tomorrow.

 

Well, good that you found what the problem was, but sux what the problem is.

So no one's been in here since 8 this morning??? SLACKERS!

 

She says thanks!

I've done that before...

Before CO2 (or air) was used to propel the beer through the lines, you had to manually pump the beer from the cask.

Who gave those rednecks a plane?

I don't remember making any phoo...

I do that from time to time as well... dream all kind of weird stuff work related or like I was actually doing something... Dude, sorry to see the truck is all jacked up...

Evening...

Man, I don't know how you old guys live with constant pain all the time... I'm beginning to think that the Navy and Air Force is rubbing off on me... I need to go eat some hot slag or something...

 

I read where you hooked up with Lil Dog...that's cool I wish I could have been there as well I always figured he would be a good guy to hang out with

 

Makes a little more sense now. Thanks!

There was something in the ph00 p0t that was green and fuzzy, I figured it was Marineph00. Explains why we haven't seen Bob today!

Knees and elbows are MY pain point. Had a Lyme's Disease vaccination years ago because I was in the woods for weeks at a time doing a LOT of logging. Figured it was good 'insurance'. Just about the time I started having problems with my kness they announced that the vaccine caused degenerative joint failure. Should have taken my chances with Lyme's!

Just what we need, the three of you together in one place!
