I sat in a stand opening morning but it was raining and the wind was blowing constantly about 20mph.A friend of mine sat in that stand the same evening and killed a 250 lb Russian Boar so that was a nice take.

 

My youngest brother took a good sized 6 point last saturday and that's been it for my family so far this year.

Rifle season doesn't open here in Kansas until Dec 4th.  So needless to say I haven't had any luck yet.   :D   Although I did see a really big non-typical buck at one of the places we hunt.  We got a really decent buck out of the same place last year, so maybe if we get lucky one of the group can get the big boy.  He was one of the biggest deer I have ever personally seen.

 

But of course unless I get my rifle back from the gunsmith soon, I may be SOL.  He was supposed to be adjusting the trigger (pulled too heavy), but I haven't heard from him since I dropped it off two weeks ago....

Good luck to you all who still are waiting to hunt. Our season is over and I shot and hit a deer but could not find it. The good news is that we saw the deer and he's still alieve and well so next year he better watch out.

Im not gonna go this year simply 'cause I dont wanna have to clean the Bastid afterwards... LOL... If I had enough money to take him to a meat market or locker plant, it might be a different story though... Good luck to the rest of you though this season...   :eek:

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. The read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?

      One thing that comes up over and over is that the torque converters are the weak link. Many of the failed transmissions have the same thing in common. The torque converter grenades and then metal torque converter shards end up destroying the transmission. One of the best things you can do is if your transmission is still fully functional, change out to one of the aftermarket billet torque converters. There are several good choices mentioned in different threads here to make your choice. After that, then you can decide about trans tuning. My trans failed at around 95,000 miles. It got replaced under the GM protection plan. The remanufactured trans comes with a 100,000 mile /3 year warranty. I still have just under 1 year left. So far, so good. As long as it's still working good next year, an aftermarket torque converter is going to get installed early spring. If the trans and OEM torque converter fail by then, I will get it replaced under warranty and immediately have an aftermarket torque converter installed. A warranty replacement trans of a replacement trans will no longer have the warranty so I will bulletproof it from the get go.

      Pushing $4.00 a gallon in most places, still $3.75 in town but it's going to spike tomorrow for sure.   Diesel back up to $4.60-5.00.

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      I really appreciate the response.  I guess I was confused about torque angle vs torque angle yield.  The individual bolts don't have a warning on reuse but the part number for the LCA nuts does.   Regarding the purpose of the moog grease fittings on their bolts .. Guessing to reduce possibility of corrosion locking the cams or seizing to the bushing inserts.
