Who's On First

 

LOU:   I  love baseball.  When we get to St. Louis, will you tell me the guys' name on the team so when I go to see them  in that  St.  Louis  ball  park  I'll be able to know those

fellows?

 

BUD:   All right.  but you know, strange as it may  seems,  they give ball players nowadays very peculiar names, nick names,like "Dizzy Dean."  Now on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third

 

LOU:   That's what I want to find out.  I want you to tell me the names of the fellows on the St. Louis team.

 

BUD:   I'm telling you.  Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third

 

LOU:   You know the fellows' names?

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Well, then who's playin' first.

 

BUD:   Yes

 

LOU:   I mean the fellow's name on first base.

 

BUD:   Who.

 

LOU:   The fellow playin' first base for St. Louis.

 

BUD:   Who.

 

LOU:   The guy on first base.

 

BUD:   Who is on first.

 

LOU:   Well, what are you askin' me for?

 

BUD:   I'm not asking you  I'm telling you.  WHO IS ON FIRST.

 

LOU:   I'm asking you -- who's on first?

 

BUD:   That's the man's name!

 

LOU:   That's who's name?

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Well, go ahead and tell me.

 

BUD:   Who.

 

LOU:   The guy on first.

 

BUD:   Who.

 

LOU:   The first baseman.

 

BUD:   Who is on first.

 

LOU:   Have you got a first baseman on first?

 

BUD:   Certainly.

 

LOU:   Then who's playing first?

 

BUD:   Absolutely.

 

LOU:   When you pay off the first baseman every month, who

gets the money?

 

BUD:   Every dollar of it.  And why not, the man's entitled to it.

 

LOU:   Who is?

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   So who gets it?

 

BUD:   Why shouldn't he?  Sometimes his  wife  comes  down  and collects it.

 

LOU:   Who's wife?

 

BUD:   Yes.  After all the man earns it.

 

LOU:   Who does?

 

BUD:   Absolutely.

 

LOU:   Well all I'm trying to find out is what's the guys name on first base.

 

BUD:   Oh, no, no, What is on second base.

 

LOU:   I'm not asking you who's on second.

 

BUD:   Who's on first.

 

LOU:   That's what I'm trying to find out.

 

BUD:   Well, don't change the players around.

 

LOU:   I'm not changing nobody.

 

BUD:   Now, take it easy.

 

LOU:   What's the guy's name on first base?

 

BUD:   What's the guy's name on second base.

 

LOU:   I'm not askin' ya who's on second.

 

BUD:   Who's on first.

 

LOU:   I don't know.

 

BUD:   He's on third.  We're not talking about him.

 

LOU:   How could I get on third base?

 

BUD:   You mentioned his name.

 

LOU:   If I mentioned the third baseman's name, who did I say  is playing third?

 

BUD:   No, Who's playing first.

 

LOU:   Stay offa first, will ya?

 

BUD:   Well what do you want me to do?

 

LOU:   Now what's the guy's name on first base?

 

BUD:   What's on second.

 

LOU:   I'm not asking ya who's on second.

 

BUD:   Who's on first.

 

LOU:   I don't know.

 

BUD:   He's on third.

 

LOU:   There I go back on third again.

 

BUD:   Well, I can't change their names.

 

LOU:   Say, will you please stay on third base.

 

BUD:   Please.  Now what is it you want to know.

 

LOU:   What is the fellow's name on third base.

 

BUD:   What is the fellow's name on second base.

 

LOU:   I'm not askin' ya who's on second.

 

BUD:   Who's on first.

 

LOU:   I don't know.

 

BUD:   THIRD BASE!

 

LOU:   You got an outfield?

 

BUD:   Oh, sure.

 

LOU:   St. Louis has got a good outfield?

 

BUD:   Oh, absolutely.

 

LOU:   The left fielder's name?

 

BUD:   Why.

 

LOU:   I don't know, I just thought I'd ask.

 

BUD:   Well, I just thought I'd tell you.

 

LOU:   Them tell me who's playing left field.

 

BUD:   Who's playing first.

 

LOU:   Stay out of the infield!

 

BUD:   Don't Don't mention any names out here.

 

LOU:   I want to know what's the fellow's name on left field?

 

BUD:   What is on second.

 

LOU:   I'm not askin' ya who's on second.

 

BUD:   Who is on first.

 

LOU:   I don't know.

 

BUD & LOU:   Third base.

 

LOU:   And the left fielder's name?

 

BUD:   Why.

 

LOU:   Because.

 

BUD:   Oh he's Center Field.

 

LOU:   Center field.

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Wait a minute.  You got a pitcher on this team.

 

BUD:   Wouldn't this be a fine team without a pitcher.

 

LOU:   I don't know.  Tell me the pitcher's name.

 

BUD:   Tomorrow.

 

LOU:   You don't want to tell me today?

 

BUD:   I'm tell you, man.

 

LOU:   Then go ahead.

 

BUD:   Tomorrow.

 

LOU:   What time?

 

BUD:   What time what?

 

LOU:   What time tomorrow are you gonna tell me who's pitching?

 

BUD:   Now listen, Who is not pitching.  Who is on

 

LOU:   I'LL BREAK YOU ARM IF YOU SAY "WHO'S ON FIRST!"

 

BUD:   Then why come up here and ask?

 

LOU:   I want to know what's the pitcher's name.

 

BUD:   What's on second.

 

LOU:   I don't know.

 

BUD & LOU:     THIRD BASE!!

 

LOU:   You gotta Catcher?

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   The Catcher's name?

 

BUD:   Today.

 

LOU:   Today.  And Tomorrow's pitching.

 

BUD:   Now you've got it.

 

LOU:   That's all.  St. Louis had a couple of days on their team.

 

BUD:   Well I can't help that.

 

LOU:   You know I'm a good catcher too.

 

BUD:   I know that.

 

LOU:   I would like to play for the St. Louis team.

 

BUD:   Well I might arrange that.

 

LOU:   I  would  like  to  catch.  Now I'm being a good Catcher,tomorrow's pitching on the team, and I'm catching.

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Tomorrow throws the ball and the guy up bunts the ball.

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Now when he bunts the ball me being a good catcher I

want  to  throw the guy out a first base, so I pick up the

ball and throw it to who?

 

BUD:   Now that's the first thing you've said right.

 

LOU:   I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

 

BUD:   Well, that's all you have to do.

 

LOU:   is to throw it to first base.

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   Now who's got it?

 

BUD:   Naturally.

 

LOU:   Who has it?

 

BUD:   Naturally.

 

LOU:   Naturally.

 

BUD:   Naturally.

 

LOU:   O.K.

 

BUD:   Now you've got it.

 

LOU:   I pick up the ball and I throw it to Naturally.

 

BUD:   No you don't you throw the ball to first base.

 

LOU:   Then who gets it?

 

BUD:   Naturally.

 

LOU:   O.K.

 

BUD:   All right.

 

LOU:   I throw the ball to Naturally.

 

BUD:   You don't you throw it to 2Gto.

 

LOU:   Naturally.

 

BUD:   Well, naturally.  Say it that way.

 

LOU:   That's what i said.

 

BUD:   You did not.

 

LOU:   I said I'd throw the ball to Naturally.

 

BUD:   You don't.  You throw it to Who.

 

LOU:   Naturally.

 

BUD:   Yes.

 

LOU:   So I throw the ball to first base and Naturally gets it.

 

BUD:   No.  You throw the ball to first base

 

LOU:   Then who gets it?

 

BUD:   Naturally.

 

LOU:   That's what I'm saying.

 

BUD:   You're not saying that.

 

LOU:   I throw the ball to Naturally.

 

BUD:   You throw it to Who!

 

LOU:   Naturally.

 

BUD:   Naturally.  Well say it that way.

 

LOU:   THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!

 

BUD:   Now don't get excited.

 

LOU:   Whose gettin excited!!  I throw the ball to first base

 

BUD:   Then Who gets it.

 

LOU:   HE BETTER GET IT!

 

BUD:   That's it.  All right now Take it easy.

 

LOU:   Hrmmph.

 

BUD:   Hrmmph.

 

LOU:   Now I throw the ball to first base,  whoever it  is  grabs

the ball, so the guy runs to second.

 

BUD:   Uh-huh.

 

LOU:   Who  picks up the ball and throws it to what.  What throws it to I don't know.  I don't  know  throws  it  back  to

tomorrow  a triple play.

 

BUD:   Yeah.  It could be.

 

LOU:   Another  guy  gets up and it's a long fly ball to center.

Why?  I don't know, he's on third, and I don't give a darn.

 

BUD:   What did you say.

 

LOU:   I said "I don't give a darn."

 

BUD:   Oh, that's our shortstop!

 

LOU:   ABBOTT!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
