CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD

To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me

in Downtown Savannah, night before last.

Date: 2009-05-27, 1 :43 a.m. E.D.T.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's

purse and earrings. I can only hope

that you somehow come across

this rather important message..

First, I'd like to apologize

for your embarrassment;

I didn't expect you to actually crap

in your pants, when I drew my pistol,

after you took my jacket.

The evening wasn't that cold and

I was wearing the jacket for a reason.

My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol

for my birthday and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is

a very intimidating weapon

when pointed at your head... isn't it?!

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back, from wherever you'd come,

with that brown sludge in your pants.

I'm sure it was even worse walking

bare-footed, since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone and wallet with me.

[To prevent you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again.]

After I called your mother or "Momma"

as you had her listed in your cell,

I explained the entire episode,

so she'd know what you'd done.

Then I went and filled up my gas tank

as well as those of four other people

at the gas station -- on your credit card. The guy, with the big motor home, took

150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with

all the cash in your wallet.

[That made his day!]

Then I threw your wallet into a

big pink "pimp mobile"

that was parked at the curb...

after I broke the windshield,

the side window and

keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of

phone sex numbers from your cell.

Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I've only used the phone

for a little over a day now,

so what 's going on with that?

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls

to the DA's office and one to the FBI,

while mentioning President Obama

as my possible target.

The FBI guy seemed really intense

and we had a nice long chat

(I guess while he traced your number.)

;In a way, perhaps I should apologize

for not killing you, but I feel that

this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment

for your threatened crime.

I wish you well as you try to

sort through some of these rather immediately pressing issues.

I can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon and

perhaps reconsider, the career path

you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not

be so lucky. Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,

Alex

    • Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.
    • Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.     
    • Thank you. I'll give it a try 
    • I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.       
    • Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
