Avogadro's number.... 6.023 x 10^23rd power..... Sac: Laughing with you and not at you.....People's names trip me up more than anything else. Until I meet you several times, I'm liable to either mangle your name or not be able to recall it ten minutes after you tell me. My wife pokes at me...

Sac: That's why the beat the crap out of you in Experimental Methods class with unit verification....:) Hoping it gets solidly engraved in your thought process.

Racerx: Wasn't the copper that go me, but all the little things about running his business that were mentioned in a casual manor, and why he was still doing it after all these years.

Racerx: This might not be your bag on welding, but the gentleman that Steve spends the day with, has some very interesting tidbits about operating his welding business. Especially about business costs and the decisions on taking on work vs the cost to do the work. Worth the hour or so to watch.

Why would you want to so abuse that poor chainsaw? :crazy:

As an FYI, everyspec.com has most of the specifications for hardware and processes on their website and it's free...What they don't have, IHS.com has even more, but it's a fee site unless your company has an account.

NASM33540, General Note 6 for Cotter pins...."When more than 50% of the Cotter pin diameter is above the castellation, A washer shall be used under the nut or a shorter fastener shall be used. A maximum of two washers may be permitted under a nut. Table 2 of the spec gives the minimum pin...

Snake oil for the gullible.... Filter out EMF? Remove carbon from electricity? Straighten AC current?

Wonder if it's out on Rogers Dry Lake.....

The factory did that flight during some hearings on aircraft safety, The prop was removed, the a/c flown to DC, did a demo and they reinstalled the prop for the flight home. If I remember correctly Ted Smith was one of the pilots...Ted later designed the Aerostar for Piper.

FYI.....Air Force 1 is not any particular aircraft, but a callsign. Any fixed wing aircraft with POTUS onboard uses AF 1 for a callsign, with the lone exception being when Bush landed on the carrier and that a/c carried the callsign Navy 1.

Download and install Thunderbird and download the entire lot of emails. I run Thunderbird, download all emails and have it keep copies of them online at the same time. Takes about 30 minutes to download all 16,000+ messages when I've had to bring down the entire batch before.

Been running Goodrich KO2's on the 3/4 ton diesel SuperDuty. They seem to last long enough that I run out of warranty on them. A little noisy on the highway, but the truck does get off into the dirt enough that strictly highway tires would be a problem.

Had to write a filter rule on my email to deal with them. Bought a used vehicle back in July and have been offered enough free trials to last more than a year so far.

I'd also do an oil and filter set change fairly soon. Look at the tires too...if the date code is over 6 years and any sidewall cracking is showing, then new tires. Drive it.

5 previous owners and I'd be looking heavily at why it was turned so often. My wife's Audi had 6 previous owners, but the one guy bought it back twice after selling it the first time. He was also the original buyer on it.

Try John Storrie, in Denton, Tx. John used to do our commercial and military chutes. Haven't seen or talked to him in a number of years, but I think he still has the chute side of his business still going. Try 940-484-2222. If he can't help, he should be able to put you in contact with someone...

Thought that holding the PIC’s cup/glass/burger was the entire reason for the invention of the co-pilot.....:crazy:

Sounds almost like the zoo a friend’s son went thru getting his ticket. Flew the Cub for PP, hoped out of it and into the T-6 for his HP check, then into the Baron for his multi. After lunch, into the Grumman TBM for his LOA, then to the PBY for his multi, seaplane and type ride.... All on his...

Opening up a piece of avionics that is ESD susceptible is NOT a routine battery replacement. Proper ESD mat, grounding straps and a known to be good ground are required. Even touching any of the ESD components while not properly grounded can introduce a latent or immediate electrical failure...
